Jory is working on my first tattoo and is fantastic. Getting color done next week and I will post a picture when it's done. Got most of my color done and I'm so impressed. Her vision of what I wanted was right on. Can't say enough good about Jory and how awesome she has been. I'll just have to figure out what I'm going to have her do next. Read Less

I was a walk in at mortuary tattoo today. It was an awesome experience. The artist Justin was super friendly and had helpful feedback on my design. He did a excellent job bringing my concept to life. Highly recommend getting your ink from him. Read Less

I went in for a flash tattoo & at first my tattoo looked good, but after a few days of it healing, it came out looking like scar tissue. I highly recommended you guys to choose your artist carefully. Not all flash tattoos are worth it. This place has only bee in business for 2 years, so keep that in mind. I also got my tattoo done by the owner of this spot too, Joelle. Not worth it guys.

Our piercer Miranda came to this shop over the summer and since then we have spent hours here! Jory is amazing, Alex is super friendly. Joelle (the owner) makes me feel at home when I come in. Miranda has been apprenticing and Shes amazing. I can't say enough good things about this shop! Its very well kept and clean and it is def my "go to" when I'm recommending a piercer or tat artist to someone. Love you guys! Read Less

I get tattooed by Al at mortuary. He is so incredible! He wants perfection for his tattoos and takes his time. Al is very very clean and he is excellent at many different styles of tattooing. He will always make sure that you are satisfied before you leave. He's very professional and not at all cocky about his work. I would definitely recommend going in for a consultation if you are thinking about getting some ink, you will be super pleased! Read Less

Miranda did an amazing job on my daith and triple cartilage piercings. She made it a very relaxed time and was patient with me when I needed a few seconds to breathe between each piercing. Everything was clean and sterile. I'll be back for my nose! Read Less

I got 2 apprentice tattoos from Miranda and I am absolutely in love with them!!!! She got them done in no time at all and blew my expectations out of the water. The placement is perfect, the font is better than I could have imagined, everything about these tattoos are amazing!!!! Thanks for the incredible work I will be back for more!! 💖💖 Read Less

My best friend and I came in to get tattooed yesterday after hearing nothing but positive things from a few of my friends, and it was easily the best shop experience I've ever had! Joelle gave us both wonderful tattoos that are very important to us and was funny, well informed, and super helpful and cool during the entire process. Thank you Joelle! Already can't wait to come in again! Read Less

Jory is hands down the best tattoo artist I've ever worked with. She puts so much work into drawing things up for me over and over again until she gets it right for me. Her work never disappoints me! Won't use anyone else! 10/10 recommend her! Read Less

It's hard for me to write this because I really think there's great potential here, but the artists haven't been tattooing as long as I thought. Some are still learning, and that's okay. They are very talented for the amount of time they've been tattooing when it comes to clean lines and vibrant colors, I really want to see them improve their craft and grow. But there are some things I want to be honest about so people don't make the same mistakes I made. My boyfriend & I take good care of all our ink and stay attentive throughout the healing process, because we respect an artist's time and work they put into it. I was recommended this shop by an old high school acquaintance. Several acquaintances went here so I figured I'd follow their choice. They do beautiful designs and that's what got me hooked. I personally never had issues with healing when it came to Ashley, but my healing process was not normal with Joelle which I'll explain later. I love my small pieces, but my big custom pieces I wish I would have done more research with artist wise and had a lot more patience with. "Cheap big piece? What have I got to lose." I look at them and feel sad. I'm scared of going out in public and showing them off. They're great pieces, just wasn't what I originally imagined they would look like when finished I guess. As much as other people like them, I'm depressed. It's my fault for not being more thorough before it was on my skin though. They have really open schedules, which I thought was great, but I feel like maybe it's because they're still new to the industry. I got so much ink done too quickly and I didn't realize the impulse until it was too late. Ashley originally told me to put aquaphor on day 1, I had no issues when I did this to each one. I was told to put lubriderm lotion on the tattoos day 1 with Joelle's. It had white/yellow ooze from the thin layer applied, and became hard as a rock and crusty, with a yellow/brown glossy tint for a little over a week. I couldn't move my arm for a few days that's how bad it hurt. Joelle insisted it was normal, but I really don't think it was after my boyfriend's experience. He wanted to get a logo on his calf and he also said it was the most painful tattoo he's gotten compared to another artist who tattooed his chest and spine. His other tattoo on the same calf by Ashley barely hurt him, no issues with healing. (Using aquaphor like I did day 1 instead.) After he got his tattoo with Joelle, he couldn't walk for several days. He was literally crawling in pain that's how bad it was. Just like I couldn't move my arm for several days. He had the same healing reaction I did, but it started to break out with red dots all over it 2-3 weeks later. He went to the doctor and they said it was Staff infection and he had to take antibiotics and ointment to treat it. It took a few months for the redness to go away. He kept messaging Joelle and she never took responsibility for it. He put a thin layer of lubriderm on his tattoo day 1 like he was told. Another artist said it's too fresh to put lotion in the pores the first 2 days and it can get clogged, and the pores should be able to "breathe." He followed her healing process 100% correctly I can vouch for, cleaned with antibacterial soap everyday. HIS FOOT WAS LITERALLY SWOLLEN! He never covered it at night with a blanket, but Joelle said it's probably because he wore a sock, but the sock wasn't even near the tattoo. He stopped wearing socks, still wasn't improving. He even bumped into her at a convention and she never said anything to him. The ink rejected around the discolored, hardened areas just like my ink in the same areas rejected. An artist at the convention said the face should be facing towards him and was backwards. He asked another artist "What's wrong besides the infection here?" "Oh, it's backwards." It just wasn't fair or acceptable. I'm finally going to come out and say it so people are careful. I mean no harm writing this, but I'm afraid this will continue to happen unless they change something. They're just too heavy handed. Read Less

I have been getting tattooed by the shop owner, Joelle, for nearly a decade now. My work is as vibrant and colorful as it was when it was first healed. If you are into traditional, geeky, fun, or even watercolor style designs, come to this shop! If you're new to getting tattooed, guess what? It can be painful. Take care of your work and follow the aftercare instructions. If you do this, your tattoos will look amazing for years to come. Read Less

It's been about 5 months since this incident and he still has these weird bumps that will randomly form at times, and he says it sometimes gets itchy. It might be an allergic reaction to the ink, the bumps are really hard like stone almost. It's like it's in the tissue practically. I'm finally going to come out and say it so people are careful. I mean no harm writing this. There are artists here that are so talented and do amazing work, I can assure you. I'm just afraid this will continue to happen to other people unless they change something. They're just too heavy handed. Read Less

I've wanted my tongue pierced for YEARS and went in earlier to get it done. I was a little nervous - I've asked before, but was told it couldn't be done (I spoke with several piercers after who all told me it would be simple) and was afraid of being told no again. Miranda took care of me and was so chill and joked around with my friend and I, it completely erased any anxiety I had. I asked a ton of questions, and she was super patient and happy to answer, even praised the research I had done. When it came time to actually do the piercing, I barely felt anything - just a pinching where the needle had gone in. She broke down aftercare for me, telling me exactly what I needed and how often/when it needed to be done. I can't thank Miranda enough for the wonderful experience I had!!! Read Less

Love this shop and all the employees. Very respectful and welcoming. Definitely has a good vibe to it and the owner is phenomenal. Got my chest piece outlined by Jory and she did amazing work. Very kind and courteous. Tattoo was clean and exactly what I wanted. Shop is also kept in impeccable shape. Definitely coming back here for all my tattoos! Read Less

Got a tattoo from a potential employee! Constant compliments even more so because it's a cover up! All the artists there were kind tho and welcoming, even when checking on the progress! Chris was amazing, and adjusted to the part of my body being tattooed seeing how it was a semi sensitive area for me (my back) and having general pain there in general. Light handed enough and beautiful art! He'd be a great addition to your team mortuary! Hopefully I'll see y'all again soon enough as I'll get ink from him any time and any chance given! Read Less

Miranda did my vertical labret today and she did a wonderful job!! She was super helpful and friendly and answered all of the questions that I had, even about piercings that she didn't do for me. She was incredible and I'm definitely going to be going back for the rest of my future piercings and tattoos!! <3 Read Less

Miranda is a top notch, upcoming artist. She did two tattoos for me yesterday, and I have had no less than 50 compliments already on the quality of the work. My friend also has had two done by her with the same results. Miranda's work is that of someone who has been doing tattoos for 30 years! Being a person who intends to continue getting tattoos for years to come, it will be hard to let anyone else do my art. Read Less

Update: The tattoo I described in this review is healed and has scarred in many different spots and is tremendously blown-out. I talked with a friend of mine who got her sleeve from the same artist and she had the same problems with her tattoo scarring, being too dark, and being blown out. She is getting a couple laser sessions in and getting it fixed by another artist soon as well. The shop is very nice and the staff is friendly. A very welcoming shop and most of the artists seen to do incredible work. Unfortunately the artist I saw was extremely heavy handed not only did she make me bleed a horrendous amount but the healing process of the tattoo has been awful. It's horribly scabbed and is inconsistent. I'm positive the tattoo will likely scar. I don't regret the tattoo since it was a cute design and it'll look fine amongst my other tattoos, but I do wish I had at least gotten a different artist or had thought to ask her to lighten up a bit. Read Less

The people who work here make this shop great. I am always pleasantly greeted by the employees and made comfortable while waiting for my turn. I absolutely love the options provided on their numerous special event days (Friday the 13th, 4/20, shop anniversary, etc). I highly recommend Sam Cox, who is a fantastic artist and is willing to listen and work with you to meet your needs. Read Less

Had an amazing first experience here! The staff was very nice and respectable as they show off their talents at what they do! The environment was a very chill, relaxing, and the staff make you feel as comfortable as possible. Are you a newbie bare skin virgin looking to pop your tattoo cherry and are feeling nervous and worried about it... This is the perfect establishment to take care of you! Easily worth a five star review, and I will easily recommend this establishment to anyone looking to get inked up! So check it out and I guaran-damn-tee you will leave happy! Read Less

i have always gotten the best of the best here at Mortuary Tattoo. Joelle has been my artist for many years now, and many years to come. i always love the atmosphere and the amazing people who work at the shop. I always receive nothing but the best work, and in such a clean environment. i highly recommend this shop to anyone and everyone that i possibly can because of how amazing it has been attending the shop. thank you!! Read Less

I have multiple tattoos by Joelle who is not only super friendly and accommodating but an amazing artist! The shop is beautiful and clean and is a welcoming atmosphere. I always get exactly what I was looking for if not better, and didn't feel like my wallet was assaulted in the process. I recommend anyone wanting to get a tattoo to this shop. Thanks Joelle! Read Less

Anything lower than a five star review on here is a lie! Joelle, Ashley and the whole crew here are top notch professionals and love their careers. I'd recommend a tattoo virgin or a seasoned ink collector to come here and get work down. These folks are outstanding with service, product, price and location. Read Less

I have been getting my tattoos done by Joelle for years. She is very professional and a great tattoo artist. The shop is clean and sanitary. All of the staff are professional and polite. I would recommend this shop to anyone. Read Less

This place is a great place to get a tattoo, I have had three so far, and will continue to go back. That person Emma F is a fake review from Yelp itself, and can go f themselves for trying to ruin a good reputation at a good shop. All the materials are clean and tattoos come out great. great shop, great artist, highly recommend going there. Read Less

Joelle did a great job. I came to her with an idea and she improved upon it. I got my ink done about a year ago. It healed well and I still like it. I'm glad I took her advice regarding placement and color choice. If I lived in the area I'd have her do more work for me. Read Less

jolle has been my artist even before she opened her shop. she has always been friendly and professional and a amazing artist. she took my horribly done half sleeve and turned it into a work of art i recommend her and the shop ever chance i get! Read Less

I come here solely for Ashley. Though everyone here seems very professional. The shop is always clean and I've gotten about 20+ tattoos from Ashley. She's super good and has very clean lines with some of the most unique coloring ever. Don't believe the bad review, people just don't know how to clean their own tattoos, it's personal negligence if you get infected. Read Less

I left the tattoo shop with an infected tattoo. Less than 10 hours after receiving my tattoo, my tattoo was overwhelmingly swollen, painful, red and I was unable to move my leg. I was rushed to urgent care to receive medical care and antibiotics. Would not recommend. Read Less

Shop is clean and well kept. Each artist has their own personal studio room, decorated by them. Super nice artists.Got my tattoo custom drawn and tattooed by Ashley (@xmamawolftattoox on Instagram). She drew exactly what I wanted. Definitely trusted her judgement on placement and colors. Took over 2 hours but we got it 100% done and it looks great. I definitely have found my "place". Love it.
