One of my Babies(dog) had recently passed. I wanted a coloured portrait of my ‘Freddie J.’, as close to my heart as possible! John did such an amazing job! There is no difference between the photo & John’s work! It is so lifelike, I cry when I look at my Tattoo! Thank You So Much John! There are no words to describe your talent, other than PERFECTION! See You on June 6th!! 💞 Read Less

Had my very first tattoo and I absolutely love it. I was extremely nervous but they made me feel very comfortable from the moment I walked in. I will definitely go back and recommend them to anyone.

My tattoo was very, very simple and it was a walk-in but I felt terribly rushed and stupid before I sat down to get inked, my artist was tapping his foot and rolling his eyes while I tried to pull up the picture of what I wanted. I knew my artist was great, but he was impatient and hurried me through the whole process so I was panicking and uncomfortable the whole time. My tattoo turned out great (granted any decent artist could do it) but I would rather go to Mike’s any day of the week before going back to Inspiration. Read Less

Love my (UN)LOST tattoo! I was very grateful that he fit my appointment in last minute and he did an amazing job! My only problem was that the artist gave me a bottle of liquid to wash the tattoo with that was in a disposable drinking water bottle that was filled with the antibacterial wash. I didn't like that it wasn't in a sealed container so I bought antibacterial soap and used that instead. The facility was clean, he showed me the newly packaged needles he was using, and my tattoo healed perfectly! Just thought I should recommend giving/selling clients sealed bottles or instruct them to buy their own. Read Less

Incredible experience. They explain everything from start to finish, and ensure that you are 100% comfortable. I could not think of one thing to ask because they had already covered everything leading up to the piercing itself, and I am sure a tattoo would be just as great here. Beautiful atmosphere, my daughter loved the displays, and you must take your shoes off at the front door. To me, that is a sign of owners and employees who care. They are gentle, thorough, and have a WAY better vibe than anyone else in town (we all know the big awful other place). All of my future appointments will be strictly going to these guys. Well deserved, and well earned. They don't just get by on teenage popularity. They get by on quality and professionalism. That is why I took my time to write this review. Thanks for an incredible service! Read Less

Jon did my back piece in 2007 of a dragon. He did an amazing job on it and still wish I could see it daily but can't without another mirror, lol. But I love it still. Recently worked with Brenda. She was awesome. Put up with my grunts and stuff. Lol. All said and done, I am also very proud of this piece and that I decided to put it on my forearm so can look at it everyday. This piece is a reminder of my mother's death, and birth of my first daughter four days later. So my own life and renewal tattoo. And Brenda...we are doing a dragon next!!! Read Less
