Extremely happy with the work Tristan did! Very friendly, professional, and skilled with his work! Shop is very clean and he takes the sterility of his equipment very seriously! He gave me an amazing lotus/mandala piece with such beautiful detail! 10/10 would go again! Highly suggest going to him if you're interested in quality work that is absolutely worth the price.

Tristan did an amazing job! He was very friendly and welcoming. He was able to give the tattoo a sense of realism that I wasn't expecting at all and I am incredibly happy with the outcome!

Got my first tattoo here and it was an amazing experience. Definitely recommend him for first time tattoos and he does beautiful black and grey tattoos.

Best greyscale artist in the region ; have gone to only him for my tattoos for years and plan to continue. Never adds on agreed price and always works to achieve the ultimate quality 🀘😎

Tattoo is ugly and looks totally different from what we had discussed. No where near the quality of anything he has posted on his socials. I feel like I got conned and ripped off. He did offer to "talk" about it after the fact but what good will that do? It will always be different from what I wanted there's no second chances with tattoos, they are permanent and should be done right the first time. I won't be going back. Read Less

Tristan took the time with me, to really get a feel for my ideas and what I wanted done. He also offered his professional opinion and advice, backed by years of experience. His artistic skill attracts veteran tattoo goers, and his friendliness welcomes anyone just starting out. I will not go anywhere other than iron horse for my future work. Read Less

I cannot thank Tristan enough for the amazing job he did on my tattoo. The tattoo was in memory of a special dog that we recently lost. He was sympathetic and completely understood how special this was to me. The tattoo turned out to be better than I could have ever imagined. I cried as soon as I saw it and he wasn't even done yet. Tristan has pure talent and imagination. He made the whole experience very calm and comfortable. He is a genuinely nice guy, very easy to talk to and I can tell he takes his business very seriously. Thank you so very much again and again. As a tattoo lover, it is amazing to know I have an artist I can trust and recommend. You will see me sooner than later ;) Read Less

Tristan is an amazing artist and I'm so happy he does what he does! My sleeve is in progress but each piece is incredible on it's own and together it will be stunning. He's now completed 5 pieces for me including a cover-up of an old tattoo that I never really liked. I honestly believe the undercharges for the quality he delivers!! I've had more expensive tattoos done elsewhere that don't look half as good as Tristan's work. Also, the atmosphere of his space, is truly unique and welcoming. It's less like a tattoo studio and more like a living room, which makes the experience pleasant and comfortable. I highly recommend Tristan!!! Read Less

I've known Tristan since he was an apprentice tattoo artist. I've only ever had one tattoo and he is the only guy I'll ever have do another one. Watching him grow as an artist has been fantastic and even when he started out you could see his talent and passion for his craft come through. He is kind, professional and very welcoming to all. His space is fantastic and relaxing like no other tattoo parlour I've ever seen. Let's call it a tattoo studio it feels more like a calming spa than anything. If you want quality you'll have to pay for it and to be honest I never found his rates anything less than fair. Read Less

Tristan from Iron Horse Tattoo provides great service and amazing skills. He is specialized in black and white contrast and I absolutely love his style of shading. It is the main reason I looked no further and booked my first appointment on March 6, 2017. My first consultation with him went great and was very comforting. The shop feels very cozy, clean and professional. He was very open minded with my concept and very precise with my vision during the consultation. I would su...ggest anyone to leave some room for his creativity. You will be very amaze how well he can put things together! I just finished the outline for my 3/4 sleeve and it is stunning even without the best part(shading)! Looking forward to complete my sleeve by Tristan and will post photos after it is completed.
