The shop is clean, comfortable and inviting. The couple who run it having been tattooing together for a long time- over 15 years! They did a great job on a cover up tat for me.

I got my first tattoo on my daughter's birthday, two months before my sixtieth. We got matching tattoos with one or two minor differences.I am highly recommending these guys to everybody. My time there was fun, funny, bittersweet - everything. I TALKED THE ENTIRE TIME. They are experts, not just in the design but in the execution and follow-up. I totally wasn't expecting to get a discount because I'm former military. My daughter got a discount as well, because it was her birthday. I think we both pretty much made up for the discount with our tips, because we were so impressed.I was always petrified to get a tattoo, I thought it was supposed to be excruciating. I also thought it was going to be an ugly mess after the fact. Neither of the above was true. There were maybe four times that my daughter reminded me to breathe because my breath was hitching a bit. After the fact, I made the wife (of the artist, she does the computer generation) crack UP because I said in all honesty, "I did NOT expect it to look this good." But it wasn't about the artist or his talent. I just thought tattoos are supposed to be like newborns. They're red, and ugly, but you take them home anyway and after a few days you can see what you paid for.No. This was beautiful right out of the box. If I'm allowed to post a picture, it's from immediately upon completion. So if your tattoo artist has moved to sunny California, or maybe you've never even had a tattoo artist, this is the place to go. Read Less

Great tattoo shop. All three workers were very nice. I got a quick tattoo done by Greg who said he's been in the tattoo business for some 17 years. My tattoo was done in minutes came out great.

Greg did a transformation on a tattoo which was 25yrs old that had demonic faces in the wings etc that I could stand looking at into a beautiful fairie which represents transformation from an old lifestyle to my new walk! I absolutely recommend Greg for new and cover ups! He listens, and genuinely cares and does not do anything you do not want. He is creative and caring! Read Less

Best experience with my new family at Ink Shrinks. I've always been afraid to take the next step and actually get my tattoo but I came in to meet with them and was very very happy with my experience. I came back in and got my tattoo and was so happy I've gotten 4 more since!! If your not sure who to go see for your first tattoo or if are looking for someone to come see for other work you want done definitely come in and see Greg or Ivy. This place is amazing, they are both very talented artists and I've never felt so at home in a tattoo shop before now. Read Less
