Best Tattoo artist around! I met Kurt a few years back. He does excellent work. I personally won't let any other artist do my tatts. When I have guest come in from out of state I take them to Kurt for all their tattoo desires. He NEVER lets us down. He has an amazing ability to talk to you and come up with exactly what you're looking for. I'm always relaxed and comfortable in his shop. Nice atmosphere. Always clean. His prices are always fair and reasonable. Why I've waited so many years to stop and take the time for this review is beyond me 5 STARS update review 5 STARSBest quality work. Read Less

Kurt has done 4 out of 5 of the tattoos on my body, and I have never been disappointed. The first time I received a tattoo by him, was when I asked him to fix the ugly rose tattoo on my foot and to add other stuff that I wanted around the rose. He completely turned the ugly rose into something beautiful, which I was no longer embarrassed to have! After that, I kept coming back. Very fair pricing, comfortable environment, very sanitary, and does a great job at distracting from any pain with his sarcastic humor. I will continue to come see Kurt and find zero truth in any negative reviews because I have been in this shop too many times- for my tattoos and for friends tattoos. Read Less

Kurt has been great, and has been able to take my sister and I both as walk-ins both of the times we've come to his shop late at night. Reasonably priced, friendly guy, does good work.

My friend liked this this place and said they were cool so I went looking to get my first tattoo. I admit I didn't do enough research on how professionally tattooing is done. But I was eager to get my first small tattoo. My complaint is he didn't sketch the tattoo on paper then place it on my skin, he just freestyled it. I should've thought twice about it but i didn't.. It came out "okay" but not so good if you look at it up close. So I will not go back here. They use stearyl needles at least... Read Less
