Went in for walk-in. Like my tattoo. Just a bit overpriced. I was in the area for a short time and wanted the tattoo done then but I wish I should have shopped around for a better price.

Bright side is a solid tattoo shop with an interesting crew running the joint. Walked in on a Sunday and had Carly help me out. Looked through his sketch book to see if there was anything I liked and that he wanted to blast on me.Chose a portal face chick, Carly was professional, nice to talk with, quick and did great work getting the piece on my arm with some dope color choices. I like to try new artists for almost all of my tattoos and this was definitely a good choice - had checked out his work prior on Instagram and was pumped that he had availability the very next day.The only downside was the presumed owner's dog, not sure how old it was but it definitely was full of energy. I don't mind a shop dog, but the dog suckled on the water cooler nipple that people drink from. Came up to me immediately and started licking, which again I don't mind dogs but could definitely see where a customer(allergies, fear, w/e) could be uncomfortable with the dog's energy and free roaming.Other than the pup, great shop, clean, professional, with tons of flash and wall art strewn about!

This place is awesome - clean, professional, laid back. I got a tattoo this week with Jon Medina and I love it. Jon was amazing - patient, nice, and totally willing to work with me until we got the right design. That kind of professionalism made me really at ease and enjoy the entire experience. I really hope he's proud of his work - he did an amazing job. I'm still marveling over some of the detail. It's exactly what I wanted even when I couldn't clearly articulate it. He seemed to really tap into my vision here. Plus, he's also just a really cool, down to earth guy! I will definitely go back.

My mom, aunt, and I walked in to get matching tattoos together and they took us right in! Jesse did them and was awesome! It was me and my mom’s first tattoo, my aunts third, and he made us feel comfortable and told us what he was doing leading up to tattooing. Each time one of us was done being tattooed, we went back to the waiting area so he could clean & sanitize everything. Will definitely go back for my second one. I couldn’t recommend this place enough! *bonus- the adorable pup in the shop

This place is fantastic. i called at 10 asking if they had space for walk-ins and arrived at 2:55. They had made an appointment with someone else at 3, but made sure to make space for me since I called ahead (they had no obligation to do that! But they were making sure I got what I came for). Everyone is super nice. The atmosphere is comfortable and the people work with you to make sure everything is to your liking. I got a handwriting piece, and it is absolutely beautiful. I couldn't be more pleased with my experience!

They didn't honor my deposit when I made a request for a custom job. Granted, I didn't like the artwork Carly came up with but its common practice to honor 1 deposit to come up with an acceptable piece. I even drew the artwork myself and he also wayyyyy overcharged me. $500 for some simple linework worth maybe $300 tops.
Clean shop and good music though.

I went in as a walk-in and Carly took me right away! I wasn't exactly sure on a design and he took time to draw up what I wanted and was very accommodating to any changes I wanted to make. He was very professional and the place is really clean. It was a little more than I expected to pay but I'm so happy with how my tattoo turned out!

Kike did some seriously awesome work and was actually really cool as tattoos are not my thing. About half way through I got majorly light headed and he was more than cool about giving it a break. Was not crunching me for time at all. And at the end of the day I got a nice tattoo for a solid price. Would def recommend. Thanks again, Kike !!
