Called the shop and spoke to Jay.  He told me to go and get a tattoo before they closed at 10; he said he'd wait for me to sketch it and LIED!!!  I spent $20 on UBER for this fuck head to be closed and to be disappointed!! It was a waste of time, unprofessional! Never coming here again!! I Read Less

Tattoos are 50% the actual tattoo and 50% the experience and by far 10/10 on both. From the actual tattoo and how dark and clean it is, too Jay the dope ass dude who tattooed me, everything was 100% and I couldnt be more pleased. This place is small but dont let it fool you, the hospitality was on point and you got some dope ass artists here that are humble and willing to tat you up. Thank you Homie for giving me a dope ass piece of my families artwork. Read Less

Jay is fucking bad ass!! I came in as a walked in around 8 p.m., just to get a quote but my excitement got to me and just did it anyways. I showed him a pic of what I wanted but I'm so glad he helped me alter it because it looked way better from the actual pic. He made me feel as comfortable as possible since it was my first tattoo, and I'm honestly in love with the outcome. I'll be sure to come back for more. Thanks Jay!!! Read Less

I went in yesterday. My last tattoo was 20 yrs ago, so didn't know what to expect. Jay did my tattoo on my foot and did a fabulous job. It wasn't as painful as I thought. I wanted an Eagles tattoo since they just won the super bowl. I was a little nervous about my eagle, but he did an amazing job. I'm recommending him to all my friends.. I'm very happy with my tattoo. He is an excellent tattoo artist.  I plan to go back to him for any future tattoos. Read Less

Jay did a couples tattoo for my husband and I to celebrate our 6th anniversary. He was great and the tattoos came out just the way I had hoped they would! Thanks Jay we will definitely be back in the future! Read Less

Wanted to support a local business, heard of them through a facebook post...i had a simple tattoo done and the artist was homored to do it for me...he was very thorough, friendly, took his time and i felt very welcomed there...he even did a back tattoo on my son in law a week later...i definetly will be going back! Read Less

I did not get a tattoo just went in for info on a tattoo that I was thinking about getting. Jay was very friendly and pleasant. He offered his insight on my design and helped me perfect it. Palor seemed very clean, and safe. Not sure if they have parking I parked on the street. Read Less

Johnny was the best! From initial consultation to the finished product he was on point every step of the way. The shop is clean and set up nicely and everyone is very welcoming as soon as you stepfoot in the door. I had a long session so Johnny made sure we took breaks which helped! His station and methods were very sanitary. If you come to ConnectInk for a tattoo you are in very good hands. I love how I told Johnny an idea of what I wanted and he made my vision come to life in a very creative way. Will definitely be back for more ink in the future. Read Less

Came here 2 months ago to get a huge floral piece by (IG: tapia_arte) shop environment and staff is very welcoming and the atmosphere is very laid back to put your mind at ease. Johnny is an amazing talented artist and his work really speaks for itself! My session took about 5-6 hrs (basically the whole day) and the results were beautiful. Johnny has a very light hand, one of the lightest I've experienced. I'd say he's a very fast efficient tattoo artist with 100% quality showing through every step of the way. Great convo, great experience all in all. I highly recommend him to anyone for any style tattoo. I always get compliments and questions as to where I got my tattoo and have already had a friends check in with him. I will definitely be back here to get more. Thank you soo much connect ink.

A shoutout to Johnny Tapia at Connect Ink... You rock Johnny!For the longest time my husband wanted my full first name with an infinity design on his arm. "Will you help me find a place?" he asked.In B.C. times - that's "before children" - we would go cruisin' around and get a feel for places. But I put my faith in my Yelp researching skills.His now nearly two-month-old tat still looks great. He gets compliments on it frequently. And the guy who prepped my husband shaved his arm nicely and placed the drawing in one fell swoop.They currently accept walk-ins, but you can also make appointments.Kind of a hole-in-the-wall place, but the guys are pros and very friendly.

This shop exceeds professionalism. My husband came here the other day to get part of his first piece done... It wasnt large but the attention to detail from Jay, one of the artists there, was very on point. Even when my husband arrived jay was finishing up a different client and after he disinfected his area, cleaned up everything very sterile to prepare for my husbands session. The linework is Extremely flawless and my husband said he couldnt of had a better experience for his first Tat. Thanks Jay. You ROCK! Read Less

Don't waste ur time, ridiculously overpriced. Told me one price on phone & double it when I got there. Just want some Lettering, nothing major. Was est @ $130.00 then I got there and jump to $300.00. And no one was even there,  empty. Read Less

Went in today to get my very first tattoo and I couldn't be more pleased. Chesto did my tattoo, and I absolutely love it! He did it exactly how I wanted it.The guys there are super friendly, and I already can't wait to go back. Read Less

It had been way too long since I had this much, oh so worth it, pain. Thanks Johnny for always doing such amazing work and dealing with my bitch ass lol.

Upon coming in the store. The whole team was approachable and very welcoming.  Spank was my tattoo artist and he did what we could do with the budget. They will definitely work with you with what you want and give you a great deal. I'm happy with my cover up and will continue to come in to finish my Japanese style sleeve !! Read Less

My first tattoo and I can't believe how fast and smooth it was! I got simple cursive lettering on my ribs and was a little nervous about the pain but they talked to me about different options and what to expect. I didn't end up taking any of the numbing options and it did not hurt as bad as I was expecting. Johnny and spanky were great and very patient with me! Read Less

Went in for a Friday the 13th special tattoo , we left our name and phone numbers plus the awesome part is they gave us a call 30 minutes in advance so we could be on our way . Pretty easy after that was asked to sign some paperwork and submitted my idea . Can't wait for it to fully heal ! Read Less

Walked in today and was out within 45 minutes. The place is really small but still clean. I got two tattoos so I think chesto ? Gave me a really good deal on them (: pain was minimal and he made sure I was okay with every part of the process. I was nervous but it was an awesome first experience. Will be coming back for more. ! Read Less

Just got a tattoo from Chester today. He's an awesome artist and I definitely recommend him to everyone. Everyone here is very friendly starting from the owner of the place. Great hospitality and clean. They listen to their customers. If you want a tattoo done right this is the place to go. The BEST Read Less

This is my third tattoo and my first time at this place. I really enjoyed the environment and my experience! They really care about how your tattoo looks and will give you advice and let you know their opinion. I will definitely be coming back next time!! Read Less

I've been getting tattooed for over a decade now and have had all sorts of experiences with various shops and artists... I'm so happy to have finally found Connect Ink earlier this summer (been back several times!) and have had an all around awesome experiences every time. The shop is clean, the artists are crazy talented, the customer service is off the hook and the pricing is amazing for quality tattoos. I've gone in as a walk-in and on scheduled appointment, each time I was attended to quickly- staff was knowledgeable and answered any questions/concerns I had. I've gotten tattooed by Chesto, whose linework is insane... and in meeting and watching the so of the other artists do their thing, Connect Ink's got quite the crew.   5 stars for their excellent service (definitely made me feel welcome and at ease), great tattoo work, dope artists, easy to get to location (easy parking too!) and overall shop vibe.

Great place! All of the staff was super accommodating and made sure my boyfriend was 100% sure he liked what they had drawn for him regarding size, thickness, length, and placement. Spanky did an awesome job on his tattoo! Definitely will be returning here for more work! Read Less

All I can say is wow... Johnny went above and beyond on my view on how I wanted my bracelet.. it was my first detail tattoo and he did everything possible to make me feel comfortable.. he took the time to explain step by step every single thing he was using and what he was going to do. Thank you Johnny for my fab tattoo I love it.. I will defentnetly be back for another one. Read Less

Great place over all. Chesto was amazing, super friendly and professional. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to do my first tattoo. He had everything sketched out when I got there and double check that it was what I wanted before we got started. I am thrilled with how my tattoo turned out. Read Less

Definitely a 5 start tattoo shop. Not only is the work on point but the environment is very welcoming as well. Especially being my first tattoo Spanky explained everything well and made sure I was completely happy with my tattoo. Everything was real clean and he explained it all before and in the process. Good convo while in the process which makes the experience comfortable. I have definitely found the place to get the rest of my tats. I'm very happy with the results. Thank you Spanky!! Definitely will be going back soon! Read Less

I walked into this shop with my boyfriend on the last day of their Customer Promotion deal as new clients. I originally heard about this shop from a friend whose tattoo artist used to work here. As soon as we walked in, the vibe was really chill, clean, professional. Johnny quickly let us know that it would be Cash Only and provided us with where we could withdraw our cash, etc. When we got back, both Johnny and Simon were really friendly with offering us drinks, giving us so much information about their shop, what they do, and making sure to accommodate to us generously. We talked about both our tattoos; we were getting matching paper crane tattoos with personal designs. I can't get over how informative, accommodating, and professional they were. They were willing to work with our budget and didn't mind changing up the promotion rules for my boyfriend. They made sure to take good care of us, and that our tattoos were exactly what we wanted. My boyfriend and I LOVE our tattoos, they both came out so clean, and definitely exceeded our expectations/imagination. We'll definitely be coming back and referring our friends to them, as well! Thanks again, guys! Read Less

Went in with a simple idea and Chesto turned that into something I now love even more!Most chill and affordable tattoo shop you will find around. Highly recommend for any type of tattoo even first timers! He took his time and made sure my piece turned out exactly how I wanted it to be with great care. Read Less

This is the best place I've been to for a tattoo. They're all patient and I would say this is a judge free place. Chesto was extremely patient with me when finding the right spot to place my tattoo. I will definitely go back for more Read Less

I found Connectink on yelp. Just moved to the area. Chesto was my artist. I walked in told him what I was looking for. I emailed him some ideas and he put it all together. This was a very meaningful Tattoo for me and he nailed it. I absolutely love it and have gotten so many compliments on it. Will be going back for my next one soon he's already working on a new sketch for me. Great place. Highly recommended! Read Less

Very professional and most important very clean shop easy to make appt.I love my tattoo and will definitely return!! Happy customer :) Read Less

I've gotten  tattoos all over america and a couple in Europe, connect is by far the most comfortable shop I've  ever been to!!! They really make you feel like part of the family, and go out of there way to make everyone feel at home. All the artist ( I've got tattooed by a couple guys there) are well rounded and can transition to different styles as well as awesome with cover ups.I strongly suggest this place, especially if your considering getting your first tattoo. Read Less

Awesome place, my artist did my tattoo using a style that wasnt his speciality and nailed it! Super friendly staff and atmosphere. Also there OPEN SUNDAY'S which is out of the ordinary for tattoo shops and super convenient...p.s. the best place to park is across the street. Read Less

Follow @davidtatts85 on Instagram to check out his work...it's stellar!! Went in to get a tat that reminds me of my son...the love of my life. David took my idea and made it better! Crisp and clean work. Great lines, cuz he designed it on his computer, so it came out perfect. He's an artist, so he can draw too! Shop is small, but clean. Guys we're cool that work there. You can message @davidtatts85 on Instagram for more info. You'll be more than satisfied.Oh, I want to add, this was my 14th tattoo and it was the second EASIEST & MOST COMFORTABLE tat I've done. He has a gentle hand and the pain was minimal. Seriously. He said he had a gentle hand, and I thought, "sure, Guy!", but he REALLY DID have an way about his needle work. I mean, it is a fucking needle going in and out of your arm, but it barely hurt. I love my tattoo, and so does my hubby, who HATES tattoos. Read Less

I went for the friday the 13th special and had waited hours. The next day they honored my tat and I got the pleasure of getting my tat done by David. With apologies of the wait and confusions he was a great artist and funny. This tat is very special to me and David helped make that happen I will be returning. Thank you so much.great experience and great hospitality from this place. Read Less

My friend and I came here for their Friday the 13th tattoo. Spanky did my tattoo. For a simple tattoo, it had small details and he did an amazing job! The tattooing itself was fast, clean and I felt comfortable. These guys had a great offer & honored everyone who was patient enough to wait. Honestly, they are real nice guys and to me service is EVERYTHING. I am honestly coming back here again. I'm even bringing my best friend, who wasn't there when I got his tattoo, but loved it too! Keep up the good work guys! Read Less

What an amazing place to get a tattoo!! Each and every one of the artists are very talented. Would definitely recommend them!!My daughter and I just got our tattoos done by David today and couldn't be happier with the finished product. Thanks again for making our experience a wonderful one. We will be back. Read Less
