John has come a long way! I walked in over 5 years ago and I've been coming back since. Once you get to know him, you understand his passion as an artist and he takes full pride in his work and what he does as a young businessman and entrepreneur! He's cautious on cleanliness and making sure he caters to his clients. His graffiti background from years of artistic experience shows through the details of his work. Family guy also, talks about his kids all the time and sells their artwork at his shop too.. overall good dude and friend.. check his spot out, you won't be dissatisfied nor disappointed. Read Less

I made an appointment here based on the Yelp reviews and had a great experience. Jon is a really nice, welcoming guy and was receptive to the idea I presented to him. He quoted me a price and then we made an appointment for the following week. The tattoo was a coverup. He did a great job and made sure I was satisfied with everything along the way. He's a local guy and he appreciated the fact that I was supporting a local business.Overall, I definitely recommend tattoo lab for the great tattoo I got as well as the great customer service experience. A plus: he takes Venmo. I'll certainly be back to tattoo lab for my next tatt. Read Less

After scouring yelp for the last few months, I did what I always do and acted impulsively when I chose this shop- based on images and previous good reviews of course.Often, even the initial phone call to a tattoo shop results in a Boys Club vibe,  but I called pretty early on Monday and spoke to John about coming in. He was really personable on the phone, asked me about what I was looking to get done, and told me he had walk-in availability that afternoon. I walked in and showed him a few pictures and he took about 20 minutes to come up with exactly what I was picturing. His tattoo set-up was clean, he opened the needles in front of me (as all artists should), and went to work on my shoulder. John is a great and comfortable person to talk to while hes working, but doesn't force any convo if you're not in the mood.Congrats John, you're stuck with me for awhile while we work on my sleeve.

I walked into Tattoo Lab based on their 5 stars looking for a nose piercing. They no longer do piercings, however, the two artists Jonathan and Joel made my friend and I feel right at home as soon as we walked in so we decided to stick around and check out their work on clients who were waiting ahead of us. Impressed, my friend decided to get her birthday tat a week early. After seeing Joel aka Old Macdonald AKA Pizza Wulf's line work I was compelled to get my very first tattoo. I was not disappointed, rather calm af and completely satisfied. This shop is small, cozy and the artists are local boys who do amazing work. I will be back for my next piece very soon. Read Less

It's May and my 30th birthday is coming up and I didn't really know what I wanted - then it occurred to me that I've always wanted this design of the Serbian coat of arms/orthodox cross (I'm very patriotic ) on my back - for years (since I was about 18) however I was always too much of a pussy to go get it done.. Not knowing what I wanted, my husband persuaded me to have it done as a 30th bday gift from him (how could I say no)?Phoned around to different tattoo parlours and most were not very helpful or forthcoming on the phone.. My final call was to The Tattoo Lab and Jonathan was extremely helpful - he returned my call within 10mins and had a proper conversation with me about what I wanted.. I sent him photos of exactly what I wanted and when I arrived for my appt he designed a beautiful piece!It took 4 and a half hours (yes a long arse day) but was worth every minute!The tattoo was perfect and turned out exactly as I'd hoped!Thanks again Jonathan! I love it! Read Less

I live in the neighborhood and have been driving by this place for ages. When I decided it was finally time for my Wonder Woman tattoo I decided to pop in based on the reviews here. I was not at all disappointed. Jonathan did an amazing job for a more than fair price and I'm happier with the end result than I thought I could be. The work was amazing, the shop was laid back and the whole experience was great from beginning to end. It wasn't my first tattoo experience, but it was by far the best I've had. I will be back.

What a great place to get a tattoo.  I love how compact this spot is, and how easy going the people that work here are.I have gone into tattoo shops before where I feel kinda intimidated, just because everyone stares at you.  Like I thought people with tats were suppose to be the least judgemental!? lol.My friend and I stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon to get a symbol tatted on the inside of our fingers.  Pretty dope spot.  Isa took care of us, she was super chill, very talkative, and super helpful.  She just charged us the minimum since the tats were the size of a penny.If you're looking for some work done, definitely stop by.  CASH ONLY!

The guy I got my tattoo from was super cool, efficient, fair priced, and good. His shading is great and lines are super straight.

Joel, you're the man. The lines on this bad boy are so straight they could cut a bitch.

Great place to get a tattoo. Customer service is great. In a nice location not far from my house already discussed getting some more work done. And my artist was Tui Faleofa.

I had been wanting a tattoo for a while and my friend told me about this place. I walked in slightly impulsively and felt comfortable immediately. Joel happened to be available so I got my first tattoo with him. I brought him the image I wanted and he did a great job replicating it and even touched it up slightly.  The tattoo is completely healed now and I love how it turned out!! Read Less

After scouring yelp for the last few months, I did what I always do and acted impulsively when I chose this shop- based on images and previous good reviews of course.Often, even the initial phone call to a tattoo shop results in a Boys Club vibe,  but I called pretty early on Monday and spoke to John about coming in. He was really personable on the phone, asked me about what I was looking to get done, and told me he had walk-in availability that afternoon. I walked in and showed him a few pictures and he took about 20 minutes to come up with exactly what I was picturing. His tattoo set-up was clean, he opened the needles in front of me (as all artists should), and went to work on my shoulder. John is a great and comfortable person to talk to while hes working, but doesn't force any convo if you're not in the mood.Congrats John, you're stuck with me for awhile while we work on my sleeve.

I walked into Tattoo Lab based on their 5 stars looking for a nose piercing. They no longer do piercings, however, the two artists Jonathan and Joel made my friend and I feel right at home as soon as we walked in so we decided to stick around and check out their work on clients who were waiting ahead of us. Impressed, my friend decided to get her birthday tat a week early. After seeing Joel aka Old Macdonald AKA Pizza Wulf's line work I was compelled to get my very first tattoo. I was not disappointed, rather calm af and completely satisfied. This shop is small, cozy and the artists are local boys who do amazing work. I will be back for my next piece very soon. Read Less

It's May and my 30th birthday is coming up and I didn't really know what I wanted - then it occurred to me that I've always wanted this design of the Serbian coat of arms/orthodox cross (I'm very patriotic ) on my back - for years (since I was about 18) however I was always too much of a pussy to go get it done.. Not knowing what I wanted, my husband persuaded me to have it done as a 30th bday gift from him (how could I say no)?Phoned around to different tattoo parlours and most were not very helpful or forthcoming on the phone.. My final call was to The Tattoo Lab and Jonathan was extremely helpful - he returned my call within 10mins and had a proper conversation with me about what I wanted.. I sent him photos of exactly what I wanted and when I arrived for my appt he designed a beautiful piece!It took 4 and a half hours (yes a long arse day) but was worth every minute!The tattoo was perfect and turned out exactly as I'd hoped!Thanks again Jonathan! I love it! Read Less

I live in the neighborhood and have been driving by this place for ages. When I decided it was finally time for my Wonder Woman tattoo I decided to pop in based on the reviews here. I was not at all disappointed. Jonathan did an amazing job for a more than fair price and I'm happier with the end result than I thought I could be. The work was amazing, the shop was laid back and the whole experience was great from beginning to end. It wasn't my first tattoo experience, but it was by far the best I've had. I will be back.

What a great place to get a tattoo.  I love how compact this spot is, and how easy going the people that work here are.I have gone into tattoo shops before where I feel kinda intimidated, just because everyone stares at you.  Like I thought people with tats were suppose to be the least judgemental!? lol.My friend and I stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon to get a symbol tatted on the inside of our fingers.  Pretty dope spot.  Isa took care of us, she was super chill, very talkative, and super helpful.  She just charged us the minimum since the tats were the size of a penny.If you're looking for some work done, definitely stop by.  CASH ONLY!

I was looking up different locations to get a tattoo, and after looking at reviews i decided to check this place out.Jonathan was nice enough to come asap when i called and im stoked i was able to walk in without an appointment although next time (and i plan on returning again sometime later this year!) i will be sure to be courteous enough to make one. Jonathan's also a pretty cool guy to talk to and i got to look around the shop and saw some of his work and at the end of the day i was filled with satisfaction that i got this tattoo ive been wanting to get for the longest! By talking to him about what he does you can tell that he loves what he does and i was talking to him while i was also looking at how he was working on my tattoo and its crazy how steady he was during the whole process, and was able to give me a welcoming experience for my first tattoo !
