They have amazing artwork around the studio. Very relaxing, comfortable vibe. This is also the first shop I have found where I would let any of the artist there tattoo me. Very talented.

I couldn't be happier with Taylor's piece. I've know him since high school and have been waiting to get something from him. He delivered, and I can't wait to go back for more! Also, he showed me a different healing process that I wasn't shown with my past tattoos, and it is definitely the best method for my body and tattoo. Read Less

Derek has done my tattoos for years. Hands down the best around. I always will recommend him to anyone looking for tattoo. Also the tattoo parlor is clean and they are very professional.

I had never been to Arcadian but a few friends recommended Taylor and I am so happy I decided to work with him. He is such an amazing artist, I literally have a piece of art on my shoulder :) Not only is he a great artist but he is super friendly as well. I had never sat this long let alone go to an appointment by myself, but it was a great experience, everyone was extremely cool and friendly. I will be going back for more!! Read Less

I absolutely love this whole shop! I personally work with Derek Hutchison but would recommend Taylor and Aaron as well. Very talented group of artists. I've been in a lot of shops and worked with some artists who act like Gods because they tattoo. These guys make you feel very welcomed and are constantly growing creatively through conventions, art, different mediums and such. You give them an idea and trust they will give you a beautiful work of art. Read Less

I've had 3 tattoos done by Aaron and could not be happier with the work. The shop aesthetic is awesome and the atmosphere is great. Aaron is extremely talented, works quickly, is easy to get along with and makes you feel at ease when you're there. Though I've never been tattooed by Taylor (but I hope to be in the future!), he's always been professional and friendly with me when I've been there and his work is displayed all over the shop and is beautiful, high quality art. Overall, I'm pleased to have found a shop with great artists committed to putting out good work! Read Less

I spent about 5 hours on Taylor's table. It was amazing. The studio is a beautiful space that feels very clean and welcoming. The walls are covered in gorgeous art from artists all over the US. Taylor studied art in college and he is an incredible artist. He is also a skilled tattoo artist. He was gentle and did a great job making sure I was comfortable and secure. He talked me through his process and kept me occupied when we first started with great conversation. As the endorphins kicked in he was really clued in that I needed quiet so I could focus. It was the best tattoo experience I have had. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read Less
