First and Foremost as a business man I take pride in being professional and providing great customer service to the consumer. When I arrive the receptionist was kind and welcoming and then I met Kevin the artist. Kevin was extremely welcoming as well and he priced out my tattoo. I paid a deposit to book him and to my surprise the receptionist was like he’s horrible but she said it serious/in a joking way and then she proceeded to show me her tattoo he did which calmed my nerves. I arrive at my first appointment and it went smooth he did the outline of the tattoo. My second appointment he did all of the shading which wasn’t bad at first but the digging in my skin took a toll but we finished. Upon finishing he did a rush job with some clouds to cover my previous chest tattoo which was freakin Awful it mess up the entire tattoo. Kevin told me he will see me in two weeks to fix the clouds. He checked up on me throughout the process trust me he was at a 5 star rating until tonight when I came in to fix the clouds. When I came in I show him an idea to fix the clouds and then he told me his idea. His idea was to add more Awful clouds and I disagree which bruised his ego. He then tell me to go to another artist to get another idea I went to another artist who clearly didn’t give AF and he was like I think it’s fine which is bro code to stick up for his friend. Then out of nowhere Kevin walk pass me and storms out of the store cursing because I wouldn’t accept his idea and want him to do his job and fix the problem he literally had 2 weeks to figure it out. At this point I’m in his room waiting for him to come back from being upset but I made the conscious decision to leave because I felt like I was getting heated and the environment wasn’t positive anymore so I left. Then I get a text from him saying how wrong I was to leave and I advised him he was being unprofessional and he upset me so I left to defuse the situation. As a customer you should not fight with someone who you hired to provide you a service. And as a business man you should accept responsibility and fix the problem instead of making excuses and blaming the customer. At this point I’m going to someone else to fix my tattoo. I wouldn’t suggest anyone to go to this place spend your money at a 5 star or 4.9 star tattoo shop just because it’s open late wait and go elsewhere. Trust me

We were in Florida for an all star cheer competition and a few of my team mates and I decided we wanted to get some tattoos to commemorate our trip. There were five people total, three tattoos and one ear piercing. After a disappointing experience at copper fox tattoo, we headed to Ink Spot a little concerned about it not being possible to get what we wanted, which were some little shell tattoos. We had pictures of what we wanted, but were told at Copper Fox that it would be too difficult and we would end up with shitty tattoos if we tried to fit that much detail into a small tattoo. The worker at Copper Fox was very rude and we were worried we would run into the same problem here.But the experience couldn't have been better. I got my third tattoo here and it was by far my best experience ever. We walked in and were instantly greeted with a smile and a joking, welcome attitude that immediately made us feel extremely comfortable and welcome. I have been vlogging this trip, and when asked if we could record in the shop, they said it was no problem. The workers, Chance and Duane were so friendly and joked around with us. When we showed them the tattoos we wanted, Chance just nodded and said "okay, sounds good". He even found the exact photos we had, cropped them, made them the correct size and printed them out when I swear he only left for barely a minute. We were shocked when he had the photos ready for us. The whole process of getting our 3 tattoos and ear piercing took about 30-45 minutes. Our tattoos themselves took probably less than 10 minutes each and we are obsessed with them! Duane, who was my tattoo artist, was so reassuring and made sure I was comfortable the whole experience. They also allowed us to walk around the shop to vlog and watch our friends different experiences. We had so much fun at this shop and our tattoos turned out amazing. Would definitely come here again.

I received a tattoo by an artist here a few years back. I was inspecting it today, remembering the awful visit to this location. My artist informed me he learned to tattoo in prison and went to work. It scabbed up, it faded out. Now, it's begun to welt up where the blue ink was placed. I will include a photo. Keep in mind this is only a few years old.

They gave me a shitty overpriced tattoo. It looks really bad... lol. I was willing to pay the 100 because I wanted the tattoo badly. Dumb choice on my part. although it makes 0 sense why they charged 100 for three cursive words that are fairly small. I- nevermind.. Just know that I won't ever come back or recommend this place. In fact, every single person I talk to says they give the shittiest tattoos. Now I have to spend another 100 or more to cover this piece of shit work up.. Lol. Fuck this place!!!!!!

The shop is nice, and the work is incredible however the customer service is crap. And not from all of the artists, but specifically one named Kevin. The man is a very talented artist, but talent can only take you so far in ANY business. The last thing you ever want to do is treat your customers like they are undeserving of the time you're spending, ESPECIALLY when that's what they are paying for. The first night my brother, his wife and I went for our tattoos, we were asked to come back the following day because it was too close to closing time and they wouldn't have enough time to complete what we wanted to get done. However we figured that was fair, and set an appointment to come back. The following day comes, we come back at the allotted time, and supposedly someone is ahead of us (even though we were on time) so we are then asked to come back in an hour. We don't complain, we leave. We show up AGAIN an hour later, and still have to wait an additional hour while he draws the pieces, which wouldn't have been a problem if we didn't watch him walk in and out 2 times and then bring something before us that was in no way what we asked for. We politely asked him to re-draw them, as these are pieces that will be permanently on our bodies and we would like them to look good, and he then proceeded to complain about re-drawing, and doing any work for us at all as in his own words he "has a family" and we were being too "particular". So we left. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe it's too much as a customer to expect decent service and not be treated as a burden by someone who's clearly just too lazy and not wanting to do their job. To be quite frank I believe, if he really cared about his family he wouldn't have turned away money that he could use for his family as it is a Sunday and there was no one else in the shop but us at that time. Definitely not a great experience and I think one star is too much of a justice for completely subpar customer service.

Omg I can not say enough about the amazing customer service I received as soon as I walked in the ink spot DT. I have been wanting a tattoo for years and I had gone to another tattoo shop before walking in here. Let's just say I was upset walking in to a tattoo shop that I was told to go to up the street on mills. I walked in and I was not acknowledged for a good 7-10 mins. When they finally came to greet me they were not very welcoming!!!! I showed them a picture of what I was looking for and I felt very judged!!!! The artist that we're there all of them came up with some sort of excuse to not be able to do the tattoo oh and not able to accommodate me anytime soon. So I left and went straight to ink spot DT. As soon as I walked in Kim the manger greeted us and was so welcoming. I showed her a picture of what I was looking for with in 2 mins of being there, I met tattoo artist Troy and before I knew it they were already working on my tattoo. I didn't think twice I paid in full for my tattoo without question. I felt so comfortable there. The other shop lost out big time. I plan on coming back for many more tattoos, not to mention I have a ton of friends and family that will be coming back to see Troy for his amazing work. I think its pretty amazing how after Troy being an tattoo artist for over 16 plus years. That I was able to bring him a new tattoo and able to inspire him. He was amazing, super nice. I will for sure be coming back to see him for many more tattoos. I say if your looking to get a tattoo or Piercing got and see Kim and Troy! Thank you ink spot you will see me and my friends again for sure!!!!

I have been to a few different tattoo shops in the area, but this is by far the best experience I’ve ever had. Allison has the BEST professionalism and customer service in the industry. She is attentive, patient, and caters to each client’s needs.
The prices here are fair, and at a great value for the quality ink (or piercings) you may have in mind. All of the artists are SUPER talented and each have their own specialty (take a look at their portfolios!). They want to make sure you get exactly what you have in mind so you leave the shop feeling spectacular.
I’ve had both of my forearms done by Kevin, a tattoo artist who really takes pride in his work. The amount of detail and accuracy that went into my tattoo was amazing, and he makes sure you get exactly what you want, no B.S. I highly recommend Kevin for any ink that you’re planning to get.

I've lived here in downtown orlando for 10 years, I've heard nothing but good things coming from friends and others that have been to inkspot downtown. Thankfully they were right, lol!I decided to get my first real tattoo this spring and courtesy of chris snow blessing me with his work, I couldn't be happier! He really knows his shit, I mean really... the way he answered my questions on things he was doing put me at ease, he broke down everything literally. From the concept of the design and the line drawing, and how he was going to shade it, to the sterile procedures and showing the needles and other tools he was going to use. I owe him a dept of gratitude for my tattoo. It wasn't cheap, but it was very well worth it!

Chris Snow has done 4 tattoos for me over the past year which I love very much. He is very knowledgeable, many years experience, very detailed work with steady hand, and he's a very personable genuinely kind guy with amazing talent as an artist. I saw two of his first portraits today done on an Ink Spot co-worker that are OUT OF THIS WORLD in detail. I'm so grateful for the staff here. Everyone's so kind and feels like hanging out with good friends. Allison you're a doll. I enjoyed you this afternoon.
So due to a scheduling snafu I had a beautiful absolutely love love love it seashell done on my ankle today by Kevin K. He's a super kind dude with lots of years experience. I loved the shading and detail on it. Made my day big time. I had to give a shout out to him. His work is beautiful.
What I love about everyone at the shop is the kindness factor. In this world to encounter genuinely nice people who smile and laugh is refreshing.
Namaste my friends. I'm your fl native customer for life.

My first negative review online, EVER. I came in weeks ago to get a basic ear lobe piercing, and they wanted to charge me $55. Since it was my birthday, I was like "ehh...why not" YOLO right? I would've been better off at Claire's. Anyways, Fezzie the girl that pierced my ear was pretty friendly, and afterwards she said they would change out my earring free of charge once it's healed.Fast forwards to weeks later... idk how but the ball for the back of the earring fell off during my shower but I didn't want the hole to close up so I put in a temporary earring with the pointy back, which is uncomfortable and pokes me at night when I'm sleeping. So the next day (tonight) after a double shift at work, I called them and explained what happened, and the girl (different girl) over the phone was really nice and said they'd take care of me. So I swung by. When I came in, Fezzie was there and wanted to charge me $15-$20 for one little stud earring. I assumed they probably wanted to charge because it was before the 6-8weeks healing time. Anyways, I asked in a friendly manner if should I come back in a couple of weeks to change it out and Fezzie was like "for what..." with this look. SERIOUSLY...? I'm just thinking she was more friendly the first time because she was working for tips, which I did give her (after seeing all the tip signs plastered all over the walls).Anyways after a long day of work, I was tired and fed up and didn't want to bother with it anymore. They should've clearly specified that they weren't going to honor the "free of charge" earrings, which probably costed them 99 cents to buy. Btw I'm not being cheap, I just went off based on what Fezzie said. So anyways I wasted my time and left with nothing resolved.

This place is disgusting! So unprofessional, especially the piercer. He was one of those people that swear his sh!t don't stink. He was swearing a wife beater, shorts down his assss and we can clearly see his polyester sponge bob underwear. His nails were also longer than mine which just goes to show how sanitary he is. I understand that a lot of tourists probably go here but just look at the surrounding and the people that work there. Believe me, skip it and go somewhere else. I do not approve getting anything here...not even a business card.

So I decided to go here and get a lip tattoo done by Chris Snow and he did an amazing job. I got a hammerhead shark outline and it is still holding up beautifully. Alyson was there while I got my tattoo and she wiped my eyes for me. Fast forward two weeks, I came back to get my nipples pierced and she did an amazing job. I was okay, but my friend also got hers done and she was panicking but Alyson did a great job keeping her calm and getting the job done. The next day I returned with more of my friends and one got a cartilage, one got her belly button, and the other got one nipple pierced. I also ended up getting my second nose piercing the same day. I am in love with this place and would recommend to anyone.

A year ago I went in for a daith and naval piercing. The belly button was a last minute idea and even tho my regular piercer wasn't there ... the girl seemed confident. Red flags everywhere! She asked what I'd like to start with and when I said maybe the ear first, she said " well I already have the belly stuff out here..." (((why even ask me then???))) It took forever because she was trying to answer phones and get my piercing stuff ready. She was using her iPhone with piercing gloves on and I actually asked her to change them out. The faith was weird and wwwaaayyyy to long of an earring but she promised me it would heal better and look really cute later.... it didn't seem like it was in the right place. When I got home (to Alaska) it wasn't healing right and I had someone at a pro place look at it and all three piercer agreed it was not a daith, but a mix between a helix and a daith and advised me to take it out immediately. So disappointing. The belly button bled "more than usual" she said and she stuck me with another needle. It looked a little shallow to me, but she insisted it was the best place to pierce it. It was extremely painful and I definitely cried as she forced the jewelry in. She told me that my metal allergies wouldn't be a problem since they used surgical steel jewelry. ONE YESR LATER.... still not healed. I ordered some ACTUAL surgical steel jewelry because this fake cheap ring they put in my body was rejecting like crazy. I will probably have an ugly scar the rest of my life because this girl had no idea what she was doing! I feel like such a fool ignoring the red flags and trusting this dummy. I will never see that money again either. I'm so mad that my belly button is disfigured forever and there's nothing I can do about it. HORRIBLE PLACE!!!!!! Obviously they hire just anyone here... after all that she asked if I wouldn't mind walking down the street to the ATM because she prefers cash tips...? I was like, Uh no that's not happening ... UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!

So, I took my four year old daughter to the Ink Spot to get her first ear piercing done since I just don't trust the mall kiosks, the parlor was dry clean, organized, and professional. I just have to say the staff there were great, Allison was the one that agreed to pierce my daughter's ears (was her first child and probably her last). My daughter is a typical four year old, she was so excited to get her ears pierced and have been for couple weeks now. She was even excited all the way up till she had the first needle go through her ear lope, that's when all hell broke loose. She started crying, hyperventilating, screaming, and everything in between. Allison was very patient with her, talked to her, tried to calm her down, and even waited till she calmed her self down. There were few other staff members that came to help with calming her down, there was Allison and Snow, I'm sorry I didn't catch the other people's names. Bottom line is, if I had another daughter and wanted to get her ears pierced, I would diffenitaly take her there (given that they would pierce another child ever again after my daughter). They are great and I would diffenitaly recommend them to anyone that is looking for anything done. ALISSON IS AWESOME

I went here for my first tattoo and also got a nose piercing the same day. Customer service was great. Got my nose pierced then waited another hour or so to get my tattoo which was understandable since I didn't make an appointment. Took about ten minutes get the tattoo to done and the price was reasonable. The first picture was the night I got it and the second is how it is months later. Faded a bit but it's expected when getting a hand tattoo, will probably get a retouch. Anyway, thanks Ink Spot.

Got my first tattoo done here about 8 months ago after MUCH research and visiting of other parlors. This was the first place I visited and was super impressed with the knowledge that Chris had. He made the before, during, and after experience wonderful. I was very nervous to get my quote tattoo (placed on my right forearm) but came out just fine and honestly did not hurt at all. The process was no big deal but I do believe that the pricing is a bit too high for what I was getting in particular. I paid $250 for my tattoo and felt cheated, but tattoos are like jewelry...you want good quality, you're gonna have to spend a pretty penny. Overall 10/10 would go again. (The pic shows my tattoo, but don't mind the blurred quality. It's very "crisp and sharp" looking in person.

Just a quick note about Chris Snow, at Ink Spot on Colonial, in downtown Orlando. What a GREAT experience! In town for business, from Vegas. Las Vegas has a SHIT-TON of shops to choose from. Most, are filled with dickheads who THINK that they're the ONLY artists around! (And I use the word ARTIST, lightly!) I've walked in and OUT of many of these shops, saying 'Why would I employ these assholes, give them a BUNCH of money, and be made to feel LUCKY, to have them TAKE said money?' Many are connected to HIGH rent casinos, and they display minimal talent at THAT! I went on line, looking for a REAL tat shop in Orlando, to visit when in a Orlando. Went to 5 shops and found much of the same. 'Booked 3 months out, cuz I'm SO good,' a few of them described. Until, I was lucky enough to meet Chris. Dude was polite, smart, listened CONCISELY to my design ideas. Met with him on a Saturday. He came in on his day off, and hooked me UP! I had a nasty cover-up, that is now a MEMORY! I will fly back, or bring Chris Snow to Vegas for my next one! Most professional, talented, and personable ARTIST out there. I believe getting inked, is an experience. Make YOURS a GOOD one. Call Chris Snow! You will feel like I do. Thanks Brutha'! Couldn't be happier!

The Ink Spot is more or less a churn and burn tattoo chain. If you like clip art, this is the place. You'll want to talk to the staff for commissioned or custom pieces. This was the 2nd site we went to for a walk-in tatt after a previous experience with "Buda" @ the Old Town location. My friend was looking for an add-on to revamp a old tattoo using a reference piece he wanted to personalize. After we parked in date-rape alley and went in, "Eric" was the first to meet and greet us. It seemed like he would do the work however there were a few concerns. First, he looked stressed out trying to understand my friends request. When someone looks stuff up on google and says they can add to existing work while saying things like "I don't even know what that is", and "I cant believe he did that to you..." (referring to the existing tatt) means they are used to tracing and copying work. To add to the lack of artistry and professionalism, Eric stated he couldn't translate the reference piece into color, trying to change the design to negative space/ black and gray shading. Looking thru the portfolios wasnt bad but there were only a few key designs which stood out. After declining, we made our way to Lowbrow Art Productions where we all had a great experience.

Ink Spot at Lakeland Mall - was in the mall for something else and saw the attractive shop. Met with Kevin and we found a US Flag that I really liked, we added the words "Lest We Forget". I'm diabetic and shortly into the session I felt faint, and was having a drop in my sugar. Kevin and the rest of the folks were SO understanding. After about 15 min I started feeling better so we finished it. LOVE it. Its my 5th piece and I would certainly go back there for my next tattoo!

I went to the Ink Spot in Fashion Square Mall. I have been getting tattoos for 26 years and I KNOW when I am being taken advantage of. I wanted a small (size is in the eye of the beholder.) tattoo and he quoted me $250.00. I have 12 tattoos and never have I been charged that amount. I have gotten 5 tattoos down there and the last one I got there was a Grateful Dead bear that was twice the size and way more detail and he charged me $125. On my way out the guy just commented, "you just want a cheap price". No, I want a fair price and I don't want to be taken advantage of. Sorry Ink Spot, you just lost a really good and loyal customer.

Went in today and met Troy and the crew at the Altamonte location. I am an Iraqi Freedom Vet and I needed a cover up on a piece that was done in 2003. I have never met an artist like Troy. He understood where I was coming from and what I needed. He went above and beyond what I thought I expected. I was treated with respect and they made sure I got the best design and the right look. The place looked great and clean, it also smelled good. Glass on the register was spotless. I will not go anywhere else for any of my work and I will make sure everyone knows about this place.

This experience with this tattoo shop was horrible. I went in to get a quote for a simple 12 word quote tattoo and they quoted me $250. Now, yes the tattoo was to be on my side, however, as someone that has another quote on the other side of their body with twice the words and half the price I knew it was way too much. After deciding I want going to get the tattoo there, the female at the front desk proceeded to follow me and my friend out of the store and began to use vulgar language towards us just because we decided to no longer get a tattoo at this establishmentFor anyone that's going here for their first tattoo I want you to know there are better places with better quality tattoo artists and staff with better prices. Beware!!

I can't quite give them 5 stars... yet (I will be back for more!). I set up an appointment 2 weeks ahead. Put down a deposit and went on my way. I showed up and the shop was not open. No one was there. I called the other location to see what was going on and they got ahold of the front desk chick who was on her way (can't remember her name, she was a sweetheart though). The shop hours list 10am as opening time. My appointment was at 11am. The girl opened the shop at 11:15. She called the artist, Chris Snow, who was stuck in traffic... At 11... Yeah ok. Chris initially seemed to be in a bad mood (probably that traffic) and he rushed around to set up. After everything though, he came up and chatted with me for a bit. He's really a nice guy. I drew up my scripting and put it on my shoulder. Looked good. He took the time to show me each instrument that was coming out of new packaging for sanitary purposes. He explained everything as he got set up. He was very professional and Chris really makes you feel relaxed. He talked a little and I zoned in on Pinterest. Before I knew it, he's like "ok have a look." I was done? That was quick. Granted it wasn't a lot, it was still quicker than the one I got at a different place. Looked great. Clean line work. I will be back for more. Definitely recommend Chris Snow. But maybe not for morning appointments if you have somewhere to be afterwards lol everything else was spot on

Bootom line: When I am ready to have mine - this is where I will go!My son has wanted to get a tattoo for a long time. I promised him that if he didn't do something impetuous and waited until he was 21 and picked out something truly meaningful, I would make that my gift to him for his 21st birthday.He did and I did.He decided on getting his grandfather's (my) family crest done on his shoulder. His older brother did the same thing about 6-7 years ago. This tattoo was a way for my younger son to honor both his grandfather and his older brother.Once he had his idea we went looking for a place. We went to another place on Orange Ave and when we walked in we were barely acknowledged. My son tried to explain to the guy what he wanted and to find out a ball park price range. We were really put off by the attitude and lack of customer service so we left. I suggested we go to Ink Spot because I had read some reviews on Yelp and the place has been there forever.We walked in and were immediately greeted. The guy took the time to listen to my son and he told us what to expect, approximately, price wise and also how the process worked.My son went back a few days later and gave the artist, Snow, a few photos of the family crest and also gave him a photo of his brother's tattoo. He paid a deposit and had an appointment to come back a week later,When we came back Snow showed him what he came up with. My son loved it! Snow listened to him during the initial consultation and created a mix of the actual crest, his brother's version and a few small modifications that they had discussed.Snow went to work and from the moment he started we all sat there amazed at his talent. The actual process took about 3 hours and my son said it was not painful.The end result is more than either one of us could have hoped for.My son only wanted black ink with the thought to maybe add color in the future. Again, Snow listened to what he wanted and shaded some of the tattoo and left some spots open for where he would likely want to put color in the future.The tattoo cost $350. It is a pretty good size and I feel that the price was reasonable.I would highly recommend Ink Spot and Snow. Thank you for a permant memory that my son will always treasure.

My tattoo experience was interesting, I won't go back there for that type of service again. Tattoos are near permanent and tattoo artists need to have an extra ordinary amount of attention to detail, thoroughness, and follow-through. I have an imbalanced tattoo and yes the tattoo artist attempted to correct it; however, tattoos and the memories that come along with it are permanent.

I went late one night with a group of friends for them to get a tattoo and or piercings. The group of people that worked there were not only fun to be around they made us feel right at home. My friend Jessie got a tattoo on her side of a flower on her side by an artist by the name of Jest. While getting it he kept her calm and had her laughing the entire time. I got talked into by the girl there named Heather to get a piercing...although i didn't plan on getting anything i'm glad i did. I got my navel pierced and i absolutely love it. The experience was quick and thorough. She allowed me to take time to get any nervousness out before she did the actual piercing. I plan on going back time and time again for future piercings and tattoos. THANKS ALOT INKSPOT!!!!

Customer service does not consist of miserable women standing around the shop doing nothing but having c0cky attitudes. My friend got her belly pierced here and everytime we asked a question they made unnecessary remarks. As a shop that provide such services one would have the expectation of getting all the information needed before coming to a decision. They were not informative at all and seemed like their job just consist of putting dots on people. They convinced my service to go else where...and what's up with that $20 piercing sign. Seems like a fake customer lure process. I mean this may be a good shop for tattoos but for piercings ehhhhh..no. Note to women that work here.. having a few piercings should not make you prideful enough to give whack service.

I was the the opening day of the shop and I got my first ear guages, All of the items were still in the plastic packaging baggies and strewn across the counter tops. But everyone stopped and dropped what they were doing to help me find what I wanted. They're super great people and always have been. I love that store and even though I'm not old enough to get peircings without an adult I still make sure to go and get a little something every time I go to the FB Mall. It's weird to have seen the store evolve and the employees come and go... It's like watching a child, that never knew you were it's parent, grow up

First and Foremost as a business man I take pride in being professional and providing great customer service to the consumer. When I arrive the receptionist was kind and welcoming and then I met Kevin the artist. Kevin was extremely welcoming as well and he priced out my tattoo. I paid a deposit to book him and to my surprise the receptionist was like he’s horrible but she said it serious/in a joking way and then she proceeded to show me her tattoo he did which calmed my nerves. I arrive at my first appointment and it went smooth he did the outline of the tattoo. My second appointment he did all of the shading which wasn’t bad at first but the digging in my skin took a toll but we finished. Upon finishing he did a rush job with some clouds to cover my previous chest tattoo which was freakin Awful it mess up the entire tattoo. Kevin told me he will see me in two weeks to fix the clouds. He checked up on me throughout the process trust me he was at a 5 star rating until tonight when I came in to fix the clouds. When I came in I show him an idea to fix the clouds and then he told me his idea. His idea was to add more Awful clouds and I disagree which bruised his ego. He then tell me to go to another artist to get another idea I went to another artist who clearly didn’t give AF and he was like I think it’s fine which is bro code to stick up for his friend. Then out of nowhere Kevin walk pass me and storms out of the store cursing because I wouldn’t accept his idea and want him to do his job and fix the problem he literally had 2 weeks to figure it out. At this point I’m in his room waiting for him to come back from being upset but I made the conscious decision to leave because I felt like I was getting heated and the environment wasn’t positive anymore so I left. Then I get a text from him saying how wrong I was to leave and I advised him he was being unprofessional and he upset me so I left to defuse the situation. As a customer you should not fight with someone who you hired to provide you a service. And as a business man you should accept responsibility and fix the problem instead of making excuses and blaming the customer. At this point I’m going to someone else to fix my tattoo. I wouldn’t suggest anyone to go to this place spend your money at a 5 star or 4.9 star tattoo shop just because it’s open late wait and go elsewhere. Trust me

We were in Florida for an all star cheer competition and a few of my team mates and I decided we wanted to get some tattoos to commemorate our trip. There were five people total, three tattoos and one ear piercing. After a disappointing experience at copper fox tattoo, we headed to Ink Spot a little concerned about it not being possible to get what we wanted, which were some little shell tattoos. We had pictures of what we wanted, but were told at Copper Fox that it would be too difficult and we would end up with shitty tattoos if we tried to fit that much detail into a small tattoo. The worker at Copper Fox was very rude and we were worried we would run into the same problem here.But the experience couldn't have been better. I got my third tattoo here and it was by far my best experience ever. We walked in and were instantly greeted with a smile and a joking, welcome attitude that immediately made us feel extremely comfortable and welcome. I have been vlogging this trip, and when asked if we could record in the shop, they said it was no problem. The workers, Chance and Duane were so friendly and joked around with us. When we showed them the tattoos we wanted, Chance just nodded and said "okay, sounds good". He even found the exact photos we had, cropped them, made them the correct size and printed them out when I swear he only left for barely a minute. We were shocked when he had the photos ready for us. The whole process of getting our 3 tattoos and ear piercing took about 30-45 minutes. Our tattoos themselves took probably less than 10 minutes each and we are obsessed with them! Duane, who was my tattoo artist, was so reassuring and made sure I was comfortable the whole experience. They also allowed us to walk around the shop to vlog and watch our friends different experiences. We had so much fun at this shop and our tattoos turned out amazing. Would definitely come here again.

The shop is nice, and the work is incredible however the customer service is crap. And not from all of the artists, but specifically one named Kevin. The man is a very talented artist, but talent can only take you so far in ANY business. The last thing you ever want to do is treat your customers like they are undeserving of the time you're spending, ESPECIALLY when that's what they are paying for. The first night my brother, his wife and I went for our tattoos, we were asked to come back the following day because it was too close to closing time and they wouldn't have enough time to complete what we wanted to get done. However we figured that was fair, and set an appointment to come back. The following day comes, we come back at the allotted time, and supposedly someone is ahead of us (even though we were on time) so we are then asked to come back in an hour. We don't complain, we leave. We show up AGAIN an hour later, and still have to wait an additional hour while he draws the pieces, which wouldn't have been a problem if we didn't watch him walk in and out 2 times and then bring something before us that was in no way what we asked for. We politely asked him to re-draw them, as these are pieces that will be permanently on our bodies and we would like them to look good, and he then proceeded to complain about re-drawing, and doing any work for us at all as in his own words he "has a family" and we were being too "particular". So we left. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe it's too much as a customer to expect decent service and not be treated as a burden by someone who's clearly just too lazy and not wanting to do their job. To be quite frank I believe, if he really cared about his family he wouldn't have turned away money that he could use for his family as it is a Sunday and there was no one else in the shop but us at that time. Definitely not a great experience and I think one star is too much of a justice for completely subpar customer service.

Omg I can not say enough about the amazing customer service I received as soon as I walked in the ink spot DT. I have been wanting a tattoo for years and I had gone to another tattoo shop before walking in here. Let's just say I was upset walking in to a tattoo shop that I was told to go to up the street on mills. I walked in and I was not acknowledged for a good 7-10 mins. When they finally came to greet me they were not very welcoming!!!! I showed them a picture of what I was looking for and I felt very judged!!!! The artist that we're there all of them came up with some sort of excuse to not be able to do the tattoo oh and not able to accommodate me anytime soon. So I left and went straight to ink spot DT. As soon as I walked in Kim the manger greeted us and was so welcoming. I showed her a picture of what I was looking for with in 2 mins of being there, I met tattoo artist Troy and before I knew it they were already working on my tattoo. I didn't think twice I paid in full for my tattoo without question. I felt so comfortable there. The other shop lost out big time. I plan on coming back for many more tattoos, not to mention I have a ton of friends and family that will be coming back to see Troy for his amazing work. I think its pretty amazing how after Troy being an tattoo artist for over 16 plus years. That I was able to bring him a new tattoo and able to inspire him. He was amazing, super nice. I will for sure be coming back to see him for many more tattoos. I say if your looking to get a tattoo or Piercing got and see Kim and Troy! Thank you ink spot you will see me and my friends again for sure!!!!

I have been to a few different tattoo shops in the area, but this is by far the best experience I’ve ever had. Allison has the BEST professionalism and customer service in the industry. She is attentive, patient, and caters to each client’s needs.
The prices here are fair, and at a great value for the quality ink (or piercings) you may have in mind. All of the artists are SUPER talented and each have their own specialty (take a look at their portfolios!). They want to make sure you get exactly what you have in mind so you leave the shop feeling spectacular.
I’ve had both of my forearms done by Kevin, a tattoo artist who really takes pride in his work. The amount of detail and accuracy that went into my tattoo was amazing, and he makes sure you get exactly what you want, no B.S. I highly recommend Kevin for any ink that you’re planning to get.

I've lived here in downtown orlando for 10 years, I've heard nothing but good things coming from friends and others that have been to inkspot downtown. Thankfully they were right, lol!I decided to get my first real tattoo this spring and courtesy of chris snow blessing me with his work, I couldn't be happier! He really knows his shit, I mean really... the way he answered my questions on things he was doing put me at ease, he broke down everything literally. From the concept of the design and the line drawing, and how he was going to shade it, to the sterile procedures and showing the needles and other tools he was going to use. I owe him a dept of gratitude for my tattoo. It wasn't cheap, but it was very well worth it!

Chris Snow has done 4 tattoos for me over the past year which I love very much. He is very knowledgeable, many years experience, very detailed work with steady hand, and he's a very personable genuinely kind guy with amazing talent as an artist. I saw two of his first portraits today done on an Ink Spot co-worker that are OUT OF THIS WORLD in detail. I'm so grateful for the staff here. Everyone's so kind and feels like hanging out with good friends. Allison you're a doll. I enjoyed you this afternoon.
So due to a scheduling snafu I had a beautiful absolutely love love love it seashell done on my ankle today by Kevin K. He's a super kind dude with lots of years experience. I loved the shading and detail on it. Made my day big time. I had to give a shout out to him. His work is beautiful.
What I love about everyone at the shop is the kindness factor. In this world to encounter genuinely nice people who smile and laugh is refreshing.
Namaste my friends. I'm your fl native customer for life.

I came into the shop to get matching tattoos for my wife and I and the staff there was great they made us feel very comfortable and they were super friendly! Chris drew us up our tattoo just by telling him what we wanted and they came out perfect! Chris is extremely professional when it comes to tattoos from the way he explains every step to u from showing you that every piece of equipment has been completely sterilized to how to take the best care of your tattoo!! Thanks for the great experience!! We’ll see you guys next time we’re in town

My first negative review online, EVER. I came in weeks ago to get a basic ear lobe piercing, and they wanted to charge me $55. Since it was my birthday, I was like "ehh...why not" YOLO right? I would've been better off at Claire's. Anyways, Fezzie the girl that pierced my ear was pretty friendly, and afterwards she said they would change out my earring free of charge once it's healed.Fast forwards to weeks later... idk how but the ball for the back of the earring fell off during my shower but I didn't want the hole to close up so I put in a temporary earring with the pointy back, which is uncomfortable and pokes me at night when I'm sleeping. So the next day (tonight) after a double shift at work, I called them and explained what happened, and the girl (different girl) over the phone was really nice and said they'd take care of me. So I swung by. When I came in, Fezzie was there and wanted to charge me $15-$20 for one little stud earring. I assumed they probably wanted to charge because it was before the 6-8weeks healing time. Anyways, I asked in a friendly manner if should I come back in a couple of weeks to change it out and Fezzie was like "for what..." with this look. SERIOUSLY...? I'm just thinking she was more friendly the first time because she was working for tips, which I did give her (after seeing all the tip signs plastered all over the walls).Anyways after a long day of work, I was tired and fed up and didn't want to bother with it anymore. They should've clearly specified that they weren't going to honor the "free of charge" earrings, which probably costed them 99 cents to buy. Btw I'm not being cheap, I just went off based on what Fezzie said. So anyways I wasted my time and left with nothing resolved.

We came in with an idea and they pretty much pretended they were "too cool" to do that and said the idea was lame. And we just left to get it done somewhere else.

Yesterday I went there to get my first tattoo. I designed it myself and was looking to get it done as soon as possible. I went to about 5 other nearby shops and none of them wanted to take me in as a walk in and told me they needed time to prepare and redesign my drawing. I was about to give up and go home until I walked into Ink Spot Tattoo. I recommend this place to anyone great service, great pricing and most of all very talented artists. Shout out to my man Troy for making my tattoo look awesome, highly recommend getting a tattoo from him to anyone. Thanks again guys and you’ll definetaly see me back.

This place is disgusting! So unprofessional, especially the piercer. He was one of those people that swear his sh!t don't stink. He was swearing a wife beater, shorts down his assss and we can clearly see his polyester sponge bob underwear. His nails were also longer than mine which just goes to show how sanitary he is. I understand that a lot of tourists probably go here but just look at the surrounding and the people that work there. Believe me, skip it and go somewhere else. I do not approve getting anything here...not even a business card.

-5 Stars. First I called, I wanted to get the basic price for a tattoo. They never answered the phone. Then I went to the shop, there was no one at the front desk. Then I proceeded to wait 25 minutes for no one to come up to me until someone came to the front desk and I went and talked to them. And now 5 minutes after getting out of the shop I am writing this review. I did not get a tattoo.

So I decided to go here and get a lip tattoo done by Chris Snow and he did an amazing job. I got a hammerhead shark outline and it is still holding up beautifully. Alyson was there while I got my tattoo and she wiped my eyes for me. Fast forward two weeks, I came back to get my nipples pierced and she did an amazing job. I was okay, but my friend also got hers done and she was panicking but Alyson did a great job keeping her calm and getting the job done. The next day I returned with more of my friends and one got a cartilage, one got her belly button, and the other got one nipple pierced. I also ended up getting my second nose piercing the same day. I am in love with this place and would recommend to anyone.

A year ago I went in for a daith and naval piercing. The belly button was a last minute idea and even tho my regular piercer wasn't there ... the girl seemed confident. Red flags everywhere! She asked what I'd like to start with and when I said maybe the ear first, she said " well I already have the belly stuff out here..." (((why even ask me then???))) It took forever because she was trying to answer phones and get my piercing stuff ready. She was using her iPhone with piercing gloves on and I actually asked her to change them out. The faith was weird and wwwaaayyyy to long of an earring but she promised me it would heal better and look really cute later.... it didn't seem like it was in the right place. When I got home (to Alaska) it wasn't healing right and I had someone at a pro place look at it and all three piercer agreed it was not a daith, but a mix between a helix and a daith and advised me to take it out immediately. So disappointing. The belly button bled "more than usual" she said and she stuck me with another needle. It looked a little shallow to me, but she insisted it was the best place to pierce it. It was extremely painful and I definitely cried as she forced the jewelry in. She told me that my metal allergies wouldn't be a problem since they used surgical steel jewelry. ONE YESR LATER.... still not healed. I ordered some ACTUAL surgical steel jewelry because this fake cheap ring they put in my body was rejecting like crazy. I will probably have an ugly scar the rest of my life because this girl had no idea what she was doing! I feel like such a fool ignoring the red flags and trusting this dummy. I will never see that money again either. I'm so mad that my belly button is disfigured forever and there's nothing I can do about it. HORRIBLE PLACE!!!!!! Obviously they hire just anyone here... after all that she asked if I wouldn't mind walking down the street to the ATM because she prefers cash tips...? I was like, Uh no that's not happening ... UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!

So, I took my four year old daughter to the Ink Spot to get her first ear piercing done since I just don't trust the mall kiosks, the parlor was dry clean, organized, and professional. I just have to say the staff there were great, Allison was the one that agreed to pierce my daughter's ears (was her first child and probably her last). My daughter is a typical four year old, she was so excited to get her ears pierced and have been for couple weeks now. She was even excited all the way up till she had the first needle go through her ear lope, that's when all hell broke loose. She started crying, hyperventilating, screaming, and everything in between. Allison was very patient with her, talked to her, tried to calm her down, and even waited till she calmed her self down. There were few other staff members that came to help with calming her down, there was Allison and Snow, I'm sorry I didn't catch the other people's names. Bottom line is, if I had another daughter and wanted to get her ears pierced, I would diffenitaly take her there (given that they would pierce another child ever again after my daughter). They are great and I would diffenitaly recommend them to anyone that is looking for anything done. ALISSON IS AWESOME

I went here for my first tattoo and also got a nose piercing the same day. Customer service was great. Got my nose pierced then waited another hour or so to get my tattoo which was understandable since I didn't make an appointment. Took about ten minutes get the tattoo to done and the price was reasonable. The first picture was the night I got it and the second is how it is months later. Faded a bit but it's expected when getting a hand tattoo, will probably get a retouch. Anyway, thanks Ink Spot.

Yeah not sure what secretary they have answering the phone but she advises you not to come in and call. Also they make appt. For you that they will get back to you and they never do. I had a favorite piercer but I will not say her name she never contacted me back after waiting a whole week to get my dimples pierced. Everyone thinks because you have a business you can do w/e you want well thats why they have reviews to tell every customer that place is unprofessional. I SERIOUSLY WOULDN'T RECOMMEND!

Got my first tattoo done here about 8 months ago after MUCH research and visiting of other parlors. This was the first place I visited and was super impressed with the knowledge that Chris had. He made the before, during, and after experience wonderful. I was very nervous to get my quote tattoo (placed on my right forearm) but came out just fine and honestly did not hurt at all. The process was no big deal but I do believe that the pricing is a bit too high for what I was getting in particular. I paid $250 for my tattoo and felt cheated, but tattoos are like jewelry...you want good quality, you're gonna have to spend a pretty penny. Overall 10/10 would go again. (The pic shows my tattoo, but don't mind the blurred quality. It's very "crisp and sharp" looking in person.

Just a quick note about Chris Snow, at Ink Spot on Colonial, in downtown Orlando. What a GREAT experience! In town for business, from Vegas. Las Vegas has a SHIT-TON of shops to choose from. Most, are filled with dickheads who THINK that they're the ONLY artists around! (And I use the word ARTIST, lightly!) I've walked in and OUT of many of these shops, saying 'Why would I employ these assholes, give them a BUNCH of money, and be made to feel LUCKY, to have them TAKE said money?' Many are connected to HIGH rent casinos, and they display minimal talent at THAT! I went on line, looking for a REAL tat shop in Orlando, to visit when in a Orlando. Went to 5 shops and found much of the same. 'Booked 3 months out, cuz I'm SO good,' a few of them described. Until, I was lucky enough to meet Chris. Dude was polite, smart, listened CONCISELY to my design ideas. Met with him on a Saturday. He came in on his day off, and hooked me UP! I had a nasty cover-up, that is now a MEMORY! I will fly back, or bring Chris Snow to Vegas for my next one! Most professional, talented, and personable ARTIST out there. I believe getting inked, is an experience. Make YOURS a GOOD one. Call Chris Snow! You will feel like I do. Thanks Brutha'! Couldn't be happier!

The Ink Spot is more or less a churn and burn tattoo chain. If you like clip art, this is the place. You'll want to talk to the staff for commissioned or custom pieces. This was the 2nd site we went to for a walk-in tatt after a previous experience with "Buda" @ the Old Town location. My friend was looking for an add-on to revamp a old tattoo using a reference piece he wanted to personalize. After we parked in date-rape alley and went in, "Eric" was the first to meet and greet us. It seemed like he would do the work however there were a few concerns. First, he looked stressed out trying to understand my friends request. When someone looks stuff up on google and says they can add to existing work while saying things like "I don't even know what that is", and "I cant believe he did that to you..." (referring to the existing tatt) means they are used to tracing and copying work. To add to the lack of artistry and professionalism, Eric stated he couldn't translate the reference piece into color, trying to change the design to negative space/ black and gray shading. Looking thru the portfolios wasnt bad but there were only a few key designs which stood out. After declining, we made our way to Lowbrow Art Productions where we all had a great experience.

Ink Spot at Lakeland Mall - was in the mall for something else and saw the attractive shop. Met with Kevin and we found a US Flag that I really liked, we added the words "Lest We Forget". I'm diabetic and shortly into the session I felt faint, and was having a drop in my sugar. Kevin and the rest of the folks were SO understanding. After about 15 min I started feeling better so we finished it. LOVE it. Its my 5th piece and I would certainly go back there for my next tattoo!

I went to the Ink Spot in Fashion Square Mall. I have been getting tattoos for 26 years and I KNOW when I am being taken advantage of. I wanted a small (size is in the eye of the beholder.) tattoo and he quoted me $250.00. I have 12 tattoos and never have I been charged that amount. I have gotten 5 tattoos down there and the last one I got there was a Grateful Dead bear that was twice the size and way more detail and he charged me $125. On my way out the guy just commented, "you just want a cheap price". No, I want a fair price and I don't want to be taken advantage of. Sorry Ink Spot, you just lost a really good and loyal customer.

Went in today and met Troy and the crew at the Altamonte location. I am an Iraqi Freedom Vet and I needed a cover up on a piece that was done in 2003. I have never met an artist like Troy. He understood where I was coming from and what I needed. He went above and beyond what I thought I expected. I was treated with respect and they made sure I got the best design and the right look. The place looked great and clean, it also smelled good. Glass on the register was spotless. I will not go anywhere else for any of my work and I will make sure everyone knows about this place.

This experience with this tattoo shop was horrible. I went in to get a quote for a simple 12 word quote tattoo and they quoted me $250. Now, yes the tattoo was to be on my side, however, as someone that has another quote on the other side of their body with twice the words and half the price I knew it was way too much. After deciding I want going to get the tattoo there, the female at the front desk proceeded to follow me and my friend out of the store and began to use vulgar language towards us just because we decided to no longer get a tattoo at this establishmentFor anyone that's going here for their first tattoo I want you to know there are better places with better quality tattoo artists and staff with better prices. Beware!!

I can't quite give them 5 stars... yet (I will be back for more!). I set up an appointment 2 weeks ahead. Put down a deposit and went on my way. I showed up and the shop was not open. No one was there. I called the other location to see what was going on and they got ahold of the front desk chick who was on her way (can't remember her name, she was a sweetheart though). The shop hours list 10am as opening time. My appointment was at 11am. The girl opened the shop at 11:15. She called the artist, Chris Snow, who was stuck in traffic... At 11... Yeah ok. Chris initially seemed to be in a bad mood (probably that traffic) and he rushed around to set up. After everything though, he came up and chatted with me for a bit. He's really a nice guy. I drew up my scripting and put it on my shoulder. Looked good. He took the time to show me each instrument that was coming out of new packaging for sanitary purposes. He explained everything as he got set up. He was very professional and Chris really makes you feel relaxed. He talked a little and I zoned in on Pinterest. Before I knew it, he's like "ok have a look." I was done? That was quick. Granted it wasn't a lot, it was still quicker than the one I got at a different place. Looked great. Clean line work. I will be back for more. Definitely recommend Chris Snow. But maybe not for morning appointments if you have somewhere to be afterwards lol everything else was spot on

Bootom line: When I am ready to have mine - this is where I will go!My son has wanted to get a tattoo for a long time. I promised him that if he didn't do something impetuous and waited until he was 21 and picked out something truly meaningful, I would make that my gift to him for his 21st birthday.He did and I did.He decided on getting his grandfather's (my) family crest done on his shoulder. His older brother did the same thing about 6-7 years ago. This tattoo was a way for my younger son to honor both his grandfather and his older brother.Once he had his idea we went looking for a place. We went to another place on Orange Ave and when we walked in we were barely acknowledged. My son tried to explain to the guy what he wanted and to find out a ball park price range. We were really put off by the attitude and lack of customer service so we left. I suggested we go to Ink Spot because I had read some reviews on Yelp and the place has been there forever.We walked in and were immediately greeted. The guy took the time to listen to my son and he told us what to expect, approximately, price wise and also how the process worked.My son went back a few days later and gave the artist, Snow, a few photos of the family crest and also gave him a photo of his brother's tattoo. He paid a deposit and had an appointment to come back a week later,When we came back Snow showed him what he came up with. My son loved it! Snow listened to him during the initial consultation and created a mix of the actual crest, his brother's version and a few small modifications that they had discussed.Snow went to work and from the moment he started we all sat there amazed at his talent. The actual process took about 3 hours and my son said it was not painful.The end result is more than either one of us could have hoped for.My son only wanted black ink with the thought to maybe add color in the future. Again, Snow listened to what he wanted and shaded some of the tattoo and left some spots open for where he would likely want to put color in the future.The tattoo cost $350. It is a pretty good size and I feel that the price was reasonable.I would highly recommend Ink Spot and Snow. Thank you for a permant memory that my son will always treasure.

My tattoo experience was interesting, I won't go back there for that type of service again. Tattoos are near permanent and tattoo artists need to have an extra ordinary amount of attention to detail, thoroughness, and follow-through. I have an imbalanced tattoo and yes the tattoo artist attempted to correct it; however, tattoos and the memories that come along with it are permanent.

I do not get why there is a bad review on this business when I went in the first time I knew this business was legit.I got my very first tattoo here with Will,the experience was great and the price was not to bad compare to other tattoo shops.The people that work here are cool and nice and can help you get a good tattoo,I even met the manager of the shop when I got my tattoo and he was pretty cool.The building it self can not be missed right on Colonial a red and black building next to a 7-11 and a massage place.

I had 9 piercings prior to getting mine done here and never have I had a horrible experience as I have had here, plus an infected ear. I should of took the advice from the previous review. The lady missed the spot and had to re-pierce it. I got a triple helix. Not where she had dotted. I'd definitely go somewhere else to get a piercing or stay caution away from the inexperienced female piercer

Ink spot tattoo is a fantastic place to get custom pieces done. They work with what you have in mind not with what they think would look best. I got a custom piece done with this company and couldnt be any happier then I already am. I will be returning for more pieces and I will be recommending people to hit up one of their shops for anything they would like to get done. Weather it be a tattoo or piercing.

I went late one night with a group of friends for them to get a tattoo and or piercings. The group of people that worked there were not only fun to be around they made us feel right at home. My friend Jessie got a tattoo on her side of a flower on her side by an artist by the name of Jest. While getting it he kept her calm and had her laughing the entire time. I got talked into by the girl there named Heather to get a piercing...although i didn't plan on getting anything i'm glad i did. I got my navel pierced and i absolutely love it. The experience was quick and thorough. She allowed me to take time to get any nervousness out before she did the actual piercing. I plan on going back time and time again for future piercings and tattoos. THANKS ALOT INKSPOT!!!!

Customer service does not consist of miserable women standing around the shop doing nothing but having c0cky attitudes. My friend got her belly pierced here and everytime we asked a question they made unnecessary remarks. As a shop that provide such services one would have the expectation of getting all the information needed before coming to a decision. They were not informative at all and seemed like their job just consist of putting dots on people. They convinced my service to go else where...and what's up with that $20 piercing sign. Seems like a fake customer lure process. I mean this may be a good shop for tattoos but for piercings ehhhhh..no. Note to women that work here.. having a few piercings should not make you prideful enough to give whack service.

I was the the opening day of the shop and I got my first ear guages, All of the items were still in the plastic packaging baggies and strewn across the counter tops. But everyone stopped and dropped what they were doing to help me find what I wanted. They're super great people and always have been. I love that store and even though I'm not old enough to get peircings without an adult I still make sure to go and get a little something every time I go to the FB Mall. It's weird to have seen the store evolve and the employees come and go... It's like watching a child, that never knew you were it's parent, grow up

I went in to get a vertical labret done. the price was good. $35 and it includes jewellery. the shop was very very clean! the staff is super friendly and totally know what they are doing. Efficient, clean, precise, helpful....and then some. I was provided with some epsom salt (for healing / cleaning) and instructions. I am very happy with my piercing!
