I’ve been tattooed by three artists there and I’m in love with every piece! It’s a bit of a drive for me but it’s worth it, can’t wait to schedule more time with Jodi!

I got a beautiful wildflower cluster on my inner arm done by Steve. He did an awesome job and was very professional with a great atmosphere all around. You could tell he was experienced because his lines were clean and it honestly was the least painful tattoo I've gotten so far. Highly recommend, ask for Steve when you go!

I was told to come here and get my first tattoo from Raquel! I live all the way in Portland and came home for the holidays and Raquel has been nothing but kind to me over email and in person. She was patient, professional, and understanding throughout my "first tattoo" process. The shop manager was helpful in squeezing me in for an appointment durning thanksgiving week and I really appreciate everyone's warm hospitality. My deer tattoo came out perfect and I couldn't ask for a better experience. Thanks again!

Just a great place that is exquisitely clean with awesome staff and great customer service. Knowing George since his beginning and being introduced to Alex and Dan, this place is just off the hook great. I started here, veered and never should have, and am back! The artists are insanely talented, down to earth and have a superb vision of your idea. Appointments are fairly easy to book and you will be so happy with your ink :) Look no further than FTS!!!!!!

This is an art gallery and a tattoo shop. They had some fantastic artwork hanging up when I wandered in to look into getting my first tattoo. The space is clean, open and airy, very inviting. I spoke to George, the owner, when I walked in. He was very personable and made me feel comfortable being there. I made an appointment with Raquel, she was excellent and made my first tattoo a great experience. I am very pleased with the artwork and other people tell me it was a reasonable price for the high quality of work that she did.
