I’ve had a few piercings done/changed out by Derek and he always does a great job. He’s very professional and knowledgeable about his work. His space is really clean and private compared to any other place I’ve been to. He makes you feel comfortable and makes sure you’re 100% happy with what you’re getting done. Both his jewelry selection and work are high quality and I would recommend Derek from Trap Ink to anyone wanting a piercing. Read Less

I went to Trap Ink to get a second piercing from Derek and I will continue to use him and recommend him. He has a large selection of jewelry to choose from. The shop is extremely clean and Derek is a true professional. His calm demeanor and no pressure attitude make getting a piercing a great experience. Read Less

THE premier shop in the area. Fantastic artists with expansive portfolios, clean shop, and outstanding customer service. I have 3 tattoos by Luna now and I'm constantly stopped by people over them. I also highly recommend Derek for piercings!! Easily the best piercing experience I have EVER had. Love this place and everybody in it. Read Less

This is one of the best shops ive been too by far! Usually places are only good at piercings or tattoos and this place is amazing at both. Derek was very informative about everything and does every piercing free handed that ive gotten, it was amazing. The jewlery choices they have for everything on top of it is amazing. Nick was great with helping me with ideas and was great at tattooing my shoulder piece it healed great, his cover up work is also amazing! Ive seen multiple tattoos out and about that look out of this world and everytime i ask where they got it done 87% of the time at trap ink. Theyre amazing. Read Less

Derek is an amazing piercer! He's very efficient and professional! Always covers everything you need to know in advance and leaves you with no questions to ask. I have always been happy with my experience with him; even prior to him working here. Send all of my friends to him and I will definitely be back for more! Read Less

Very clean place. Gypsy Firecracker was amazing. I told her to freestyle my lettering and she did not disappoint! I was very satisfied with my tattoo! I recommend you go to trap ink! Especially gypsy firecracker! Read Less

Gypsy is amazing! Me and my husband both got amazing tats done. My husband got our daughters footprint and name and I got her name with a pocket watch, a rose and some other flowers. Mine is also a cover up. We're in the healing process now and I can't wait to go back for session 2, color! Thank you so much Gypsy, everyone absolutely loves them! Read Less

These guys are the best! Keegan has somehow managed to find the best of the best in this industry and put them under one roof for all of your tattoo/piercing needs. Quality work by amazing talent, in a super clean environment. I'm more piercing than tattoo, and Derek is the one to see. He has a gentle hand, and amazing patience, so I never feel rushed or silly for asking too many questions and opinions. He also carries a huge selection of quality jewlery; truly something for everyone! Read Less

Best in town I have getting tattooed by nick since they opened don't mess with anybody else. But they have a clean and friendly place a lot of good artist there. I recommend everybody I know to go there Read Less

I absolutely love this shop. I walked in and made an appointment with Nick. He was very personable and kind and made sure I had an appointment on the exact day and time that I wanted. His work is amazing and I am so happy with my tattoo. The shop was clean and really nice as well. Will recommend forever and ever! Read Less

I'm currently working on finishing a sleeve and the artist (nick jackson) I saw was absolutely amazing! He worked with my ideas and he created something so beautiful that I could have never imagined. Its taken me 6 years to watch to touch that arm for specific reasons and he was took my cares away. There shop is so clean and very welcoming as well as the staff! I would highly recommend anyone to this shop there just amazing. Read Less

I have had Keegan do 2 pcs for me. 1, I brought him, he killed it and made it better. And 1, I gave him an idea of what I wanted and he designed it. Unbelievable! Not only did he capture my view, but he added his special touch and it totally exceeded my expectations. Thanks for the professional work you do, and for putting your heart and soul into your work...my life long body art! Read Less

They say you get what you pay for but with Trap Ink I couldn't disagree more! You get more than you pay for here. Every tattoo is like a finely hand crafted wheel of cheddar cheese. Worth every penny and as soon as you leave you want to go back for more. It's like a bag of pork rinds. You may stop but before you know it your right back at it! Like an aged whiskey. The anticipation is well worth the wait. There are no shortcuts and you leave with an experience not just a tattoo! You leave with artwork not just ink. Items you can show off and be proud to say I got this at Trap Ink!!! Read Less

Very professional. Very clean. They are very nice and greet you once you come in. The hospitality is great! They make you feel comfortable and their work is incredible! When people ask me what's the cleanest and best tattoo shop in town... I tell them Trap Ink. Read Less

Trap Ink Tattoos Sarasota is an amazing studio where the clients come for great works. I ve been several times. The artists consult with you and make sure the custom tattoo is well thought out works with your body. I thought I just wanted one old armband reworked after 10 years. But now from their works I'm seeing I want to update and bring the newer styles to myself. World class talent working at this shop. Were blessed to have Kee Li and Nick Jackson in the Sarasota Bradenton area. Read Less
