Came here for some matching tattoos with my girls! Sammy was our artist and she was so talented, friendly and accommodating. We asked her to do a few drafts of the tattoo and she wasn't annoyed at all. Super helpful and hopefully will become my regular go-to artist! The space itself is super clean and modern and I loved it compared to other shops I've been too. It just felt very professional and elite amongst the rest. Their pricing is pretty reasonable as well. We got these flowers for the shop minimum ($100), but I'm sure price varies artist to artist.Will be back for awesome artistry, cool vibe, and clean environment!

I'm very particular about the tattoo style I'd like on my body - thin lines and light shading. Think of @_dr_woo or @mr.k_tattoo. Trevor's attention to detail to the tattoo exceeded my expectations. The parlour itself is very clean. I don't normally post on yelp, but this place is A+. Definitely recommending this place to my friends and now to y'all, random yelpers.

Waited almost 2 years to start my half sleeve. I had seen James Amsden's work back in Maine and was dying to get a piece done by him. When I decided to jump he moved to Florida and is now here at the east 407. I traveled 3000 miles to have him start my sleeve! Amazing artist. The east 407 sure knows great artists when they see them! Great low key feel without the trashy walk-ins. Been there once so far and have told everyone I know about the studio!

The East is by far the best tattoo experience on the planet. I have tattoos from Earl and Steve and I could not be happier. Their quality of work speaks for itself. I waited 20 years to get my sleeve, and I minute I consulted with Earl, I knew he was the artist to do it. The East is the best!

This is the most amazing tattoo shop you will find in Orlando. Very professional and chill vibe you get when you come in. They're appointment based only, so you will have to contact the artists in order to get some work done, but honestly, this is absolutely my favorite tattoo spot ever. I will never go anywhere else. I would travel seas just to get work done by Earl.

I will follow Earl anywhere he goes. This new place is unlike any tattoo shop you will ever experience. It is exactly how I envisioned Earl if he ever had his own studio.
He is direct and cares about what he tattoos on people. If he thinks it will look terrible he will send you packing as he will not want his name associated with that tattoo. Meaning its not all about the money with him.

My boyfriend and I have gotten a number of tattoos done by Steve and I can't begin to describe the exceptional quality of work and service we have received. We followed him from his last shop to The East, and even though I have moved out of FL, I definitely plan on returning to get more work done by him in the future. I wish I could give 10 stars! If you you want a kick ass tattoo, go here.
