Ricky is awesome. He did a memorial tattoo for my Grandma on my ankle and I love it! As long as I'm in Bloomington Normal I won't go anywhere else!

Before getting beautified by Ricky, I had only started with a tiny quote on my shoulder and, after becoming addicted, I decided I wanted something bigger. I shopped for artists and EVERYONE I talked to recommended Ricky. I'm SO glad I listened because my tattoo is amazing and the atmosphere he provided was wonderful. I was definitely nervous as hell when I walked in but he turned that around quick and I didn't leave before making another appointment. Now I have two in the books and I'm planning more! Read Less

Ricky did a fabulous job on my large piece. I gave him the 3 elements I wanted to include in the piece and he came up with the concept. I love his easy chair side manner, allowing me to zone out for hours of work. The final tattoo is vibrant and I get many compliments! Read Less

I have been to Ricky three times for many hours in the chair. I have loved all the work he has done and he amazes every time with his talent.

I had a pretty detail oriental military piece that I wanted done as a memorial for 6 Airborne Rangers that were killed in action. This was obviously very sentimental and I had the idea for years because I wanted to seek out somebody that was highly skilled and had a great reputation. Not only did Ricky exceed my expectations, but his past tattoo art speaks for itself. I highly recommend this man. There is a bit of a wait, but there is an obvious reason for that. The studio is professional with a classy and artistic feel to it. Read Less

No idea why this took me so long to write a review but here we go. Ricky did a back mural piece for me that spanned about a year or so and each time I made the hour and forty five minute trip I ALWAYS left with amazing progress and never felt he was rushing to get it done. Ricky was always incredibly easy to communicate with and was always quick to get back with me to finalize ideas before I made the trip. He really made me feel at home in his studio and his phenomenal work speaks for itself. My go to guy from here on out. Great work Ricky! Read Less

An awesome experience. Ricky is not only an extremely talented artist, but very professional and provides overall great service. He was late to our appointment, but certainly made up for it. Ricky free handed both my and my mom's tattoos so they are unique and personal. Ricky is extremely personable and makes you feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Read Less

Ricky is great. Love my ink he has done on my arms especially my most recent which is a dead Mexican vaquero with revolver in one hand and a log chain in the other holding back a vicious wolf. He also did a great job on my daughter-in-law's first tattoo which was a delicate feminine design 1/2 sleeve. My wife gets her first tattoo on June 16th and I'm getting more ink on same day.Read Less
