My best friend and I got matching tattoos to honor our dearly departed kitty, Frances Bean. We heard about this shop from a friend, and we booked with Peter Harren.Amy and I really liked his shading work, and his portfolio (IG:peterharren). Right of way, Peter put us at ease, and we talked about various artists we liked and TV shows - he played Dexter for Amy, and Parks and Rec for me (queue me singing "Bye Bye Little Sebastian").Peter was friendly, efficient, professional, and it was more like hanging out with a friend at a tattoo shop!

Came in and had a consultation with Peter. Came back the next week and got the tattoo. He sent a drawing ahead of time and even changed what I wanted adjusted. He did a great job and I got what I wanted and also in his style. He only charged me for the tattooing time and was very reasonably priced for such good talent. The whole staff was friendly. Highly recommend.

This place has some attitude, but my tattoo is absolutely gorgeous. I worked with Dan to design a cover-up for a terrible, thick-lined, black tattoo I got when I was 20. Initially, he seemed excited and open to working with me and my very specific ideas. But when I showed up for my tattoo session, he seemed frustrated, and the design he ultimately tattooed on me lacked a lot of the details I asked for. But, like I said, it's a gorgeous and excellently crafted tattoo, and he did an amazing job covering up the old ugly one. I asked for another tattoo -- another cover-up -- but he declined. I was bummed and really frustrated at first, but in the end, so very grateful I at least got one of my tattoos from Dan. And I was also regretful that I fenced Dan in with any parameters at all and by trying to control too much of the outcome by imposing my own personal artistic vision on his -- dear lord, especially with a difficult cover-up. Dan is an amazing artist -- stellar with line work, shading, and perspective, basically everything -- but I realize now that he gels best with clients who hand most, preferably all, of the reins over to him. I just really wish I'd known this before we initially sat down and talked about my idea. It would've been way less uncomfortable for both of us. Which is why I'm sharing this now. Don't make the same mistake I did. Instead, follow these step-by-step instructions when working with Dan-truly-the-man: 1. Definitely work with him. 2. Trust him, because he will not let you down. 3. Set aside your control freak, ditch your expectations, and repeat after me: "Let go, and let Dan."

I was given a gift certificate to Beloved. Seth was my artist, he was assigned to me based on my design description, and he was amazing! We had an initial consultation where he developed a design based on my thoughts, then he went to work. The people were all very friendly and I am really pleased with the results. I’m going back to have my older tattoo highlighted by Seth.

I've worked with a couple artists here and everyone is top notch! Peter H is my guy these days and he's an absolute gem to work with. A bit restrictive on the hours overall but I think that helps keep more serious clientele so there aren't folks getting their SO's name on their lower back at midnight. Anyway, wonderful tattoo shop, proud client!

I chose Beloved Studios based on Google Review and Yelp Review. Now, I would like to give a pitch of my own experience. The studio is very nice and cozy with very welcoming staff members. More importantly, they have a various artists' Galleries on their website, which related each artist style and design. I would recommend that you should check before hand, hence, you know who would fit best for your design. For me, I had Travis as my artist to finish up my half sleeve Polynesian tattoo on my right arm, as I knew that he had done some works on them before. He is very a skillful artist and suggested me a few improvisation , which helped to make my previous design look even better! I would highly recommend this studio to everyone. Pro Tip: Try to get a consultation and make an appointment as early as possible. As for me, it took almost 3 months for my appointment for a 4-hours session. Well, worth the wait!!

This studio is great, everyone is friendly, and the interior is comfortable - music isn't blaring and there's plenty to look at in most parts. The other artists and support staff might randomly pop in to take a peek at the work, which is cool. I have no complaints except that's it's so close to the State Fairgrounds, but just plan accordingly and it's no issue!

I am an older client (I have tattoos older than some of the employees and a lot of the clients) but I did not feel uncomfortable or out-of-place as I have at other locations.

Because of very poor communication, there was a scheduling mishap on the day I was to receive my tattoo. I was told that since it wasn't my fault, my deposit would be refunded. It's now a month later and I still have not received my deposit back. I've probably called the studio about ten times when it should only take one phone call. I think I've been more than patient.

My friend and I had our first tattoo experience here today with Seth. We came in with a good idea of what we each wanted, and Seth went over the designs with us and walked us through how to make them better and more fitting for a tattoo format. We thought they looked good on paper, and with his guidance they look even better on skin! Seriously a down to earth and cool person too!
The shop itself was very clean, well lit, and had an open layout. It had an awesome vibe all around. Cool artwork and decor everywhere. Everyone on staff that we met was very friendly and made it a great experience. We got to talk with a couple other patrons there and they had nothing but good things to say.
Honestly being newbies we didn't exactly know what to expect, but everything went perfect. Seth was awesome, the staff was awesome, the tattoos came out better than the artwork we brought in, everything was awesome.
Thanks!

I brought in something really simple, and came out with this thing that I'm not so sure I like. The "artist" insisted on adding all sorts of embellishments that I didn't ask for but he insisted would make it "better". I only went with it and let him carry out his big gesture of self-expression on my body because I had already paid in advance. I didn't ask for it to be "better". I just wanted it really similar but with small adaptations necessary to make it a decent tattoo. Meh. I'm going somewhere else next time. They're too pushy. Actually hearing what people are saying and understanding that people are making themselves vulnerable by allowing you to do your work on them, is an attribute.

Sarah Jane is simply amazing! I came in because i had received a poor tattoo from Leviticus. Sarah came highly recommended and she put me at ease through my consult. I literally cried during my consult because the previous shop messed up my leg so bad. She took a horrible tattoo and transformed it in to something i simply love! The colors are vibrant and beautiful. I went in with a tattoo i hated and couldn't stand to look at, and walked out with something i am proud to show off. The shop itself is also very awesome. Everything is clean and they even have a little TV lounge with trail mix and water! In my opinion, they go above and beyond and it counts!

I've been to this shop three different times, and each time have had a consistently great experience. It's true--these people are artists, and if you want a complex, beautiful tattoo, you will get that. But I wanted a simple word in script, and they never made me feel like it was stupid or not worth their time. I also went back with a friend to get a simple line drawing, and she had the same positive experience. The bonus for me on top of the great work is that it's great for first timers. When you walk in, it feels more like a comfortable, modern living room, and less like a scary tattoo shop. It didn't have any of the things that make me feel too intimidated to go into other shops. The artist's areas are about three-quarter height walls, and the ceilings are high and open. Everything is really well lit.All three times I've been there, I (and/or the people I was with) got really personal experiences. The artists are friendly and funny, and love to share stories about life and their tattoos. I now live 500 miles away, and I will go back to Beloved Studios for all of my future tattoos.

I may not be FULL of tattoos, but I've been to my fair share of shops checking things out and I have to say I find myself disappointed from the get go in beloved. First of all, MOST shops I've gone into have really friendly front desk people who are more than willing to help you figure out what artist to talk to or make an appointment with for a consult. At Beloved, my husband and I were greated with a girl who frankly acted like she was stoned out of her mind and unsure how to speak. She seemed annoyed that we were there and rolled her eyes on more than one completely unnecessary occasion. Second, MOST shops I've gone into have been able to either have an artist consult real quick with you or make an appointment for like one of the next couple days. At Beloved, when we asked about a consult it was a week and half out because the artist had random times just blocked out in his planner for "brainstorming" the girl said.Third, MOST shops seem busy when you go into them - there' some life, people and machines buzzing. At Beloved, both times I stopped in it was quite, without people and I did not see or hear any artists working with people.I'm definitely not impressed and will not be going back there. My husband had made a consult appointment, but cancelled it because we found much friendlier and personable tattoo artists and employees elsewhere. I will be discouraging my friends from going here if any of them decide to get a tattoo. Major let down.

The Shop = very professional and wont treat you like your an inconvenience. All talented artists and their portfolios say it all. Here's the deal I lost my dog of 12 years that meant the world to me. I wanted to memorialize her. I absolutely didn't want to get the tattoo of her unless it captured her smile and personality. I held extremely high standards. You don't want a tattoo of someone you lost if its going to even slightly not look like that individual. There are certain people in this world that are doing exactly what they were born to do. Brandon Heffron is one of those guys. As an artist (musician) myself you know when you've met someone who is deliberate, confident and eats and sleeps their art form. I'll be going back !

Ok so 1st of all, whatever font I wanted the guy (Dan) would say no. He wasn't giving me the fonts I wanted or adding artistic flares to anything. I wanted a scripture tattoo and he wanted to make it straight from the computer fonts, boring! He was a half our late for the appointment, no one checked to verify I was over 18, the price was expensive for what I wanted done, and he was getting upset with me for not liking his designs. They kept the deposit and I do not want to go back. The people where also very rude! Minus the receptionist.

I Went to Beloved Studios because my tattoo that I just had done a couple of days ago at Monsters Inc. looked awful. I wanted to make sure that when it was all healed that it could be fixed. The lines are uneven and the shading is not so good. Dan who I spoke with was so nice and he walked me through on what could be done. He also took the time to ask one of his coworkers(Sara) her thoughts. Might I say the tattoo she was working on for a customer was fabulous! She even said she was sorry that had to happen. It made me feel like they were really there to help. Even though it was someone elses mistake. I felt so much better after leaving. I cant wait to go there in a few weeks and see all the greatness they can do. Thanks Again!!

My best friend and I got matching tattoos to honor our dearly departed kitty, Frances Bean. We heard about this shop from a friend, and we booked with Peter Harren.Amy and I really liked his shading work, and his portfolio (IG:peterharren). Right of way, Peter put us at ease, and we talked about various artists we liked and TV shows - he played Dexter for Amy, and Parks and Rec for me (queue me singing "Bye Bye Little Sebastian").Peter was friendly, efficient, professional, and it was more like hanging out with a friend at a tattoo shop!

This place has some attitude, but my tattoo is absolutely gorgeous. I worked with Dan to design a cover-up for a terrible, thick-lined, black tattoo I got when I was 20. Initially, he seemed excited and open to working with me and my very specific ideas. But when I showed up for my tattoo session, he seemed frustrated, and the design he ultimately tattooed on me lacked a lot of the details I asked for. But, like I said, it's a gorgeous and excellently crafted tattoo, and he did an amazing job covering up the old ugly one. I asked for another tattoo -- another cover-up -- but he declined. I was bummed and really frustrated at first, but in the end, so very grateful I at least got one of my tattoos from Dan. And I was also regretful that I fenced Dan in with any parameters at all and by trying to control too much of the outcome by imposing my own personal artistic vision on his -- dear lord, especially with a difficult cover-up. Dan is an amazing artist -- stellar with line work, shading, and perspective, basically everything -- but I realize now that he gels best with clients who hand most, preferably all, of the reins over to him. I just really wish I'd known this before we initially sat down and talked about my idea. It would've been way less uncomfortable for both of us. Which is why I'm sharing this now. Don't make the same mistake I did. Instead, follow these step-by-step instructions when working with Dan-truly-the-man: 1. Definitely work with him. 2. Trust him, because he will not let you down. 3. Set aside your control freak, ditch your expectations, and repeat after me: "Let go, and let Dan."

I was given a gift certificate to Beloved. Seth was my artist, he was assigned to me based on my design description, and he was amazing! We had an initial consultation where he developed a design based on my thoughts, then he went to work. The people were all very friendly and I am really pleased with the results. I’m going back to have my older tattoo highlighted by Seth.

I've worked with a couple artists here and everyone is top notch! Peter H is my guy these days and he's an absolute gem to work with. A bit restrictive on the hours overall but I think that helps keep more serious clientele so there aren't folks getting their SO's name on their lower back at midnight. Anyway, wonderful tattoo shop, proud client!

I chose Beloved Studios based on Google Review and Yelp Review. Now, I would like to give a pitch of my own experience. The studio is very nice and cozy with very welcoming staff members. More importantly, they have a various artists' Galleries on their website, which related each artist style and design. I would recommend that you should check before hand, hence, you know who would fit best for your design. For me, I had Travis as my artist to finish up my half sleeve Polynesian tattoo on my right arm, as I knew that he had done some works on them before. He is very a skillful artist and suggested me a few improvisation , which helped to make my previous design look even better! I would highly recommend this studio to everyone. Pro Tip: Try to get a consultation and make an appointment as early as possible. As for me, it took almost 3 months for my appointment for a 4-hours session. Well, worth the wait!!

This studio is great, everyone is friendly, and the interior is comfortable - music isn't blaring and there's plenty to look at in most parts. The other artists and support staff might randomly pop in to take a peek at the work, which is cool. I have no complaints except that's it's so close to the State Fairgrounds, but just plan accordingly and it's no issue!

Love the aesthetic of this place Beloved Studios is part Tattoo Shop and part art gallery and all awesome. It is so much fun to walk around and take a look at Brandon and the other artist fantastic work all over the walls. My wife's tattoo artist, Seth Mcbeth did an amazing job! He pulls some of the cleanest lines if seen. Truly fantastic work from a very impressive shop.

I am a long-time client of Garrett Meyers who is now at Beloved Studies. I was really impressed with the studio, how it looks, and how friendly everyone was. I am an older client (I have tattoos older than some of the employees and a lot of the clients) but I did not feel uncomfortable or out-of-place as I have at other locations. I also appreciated the on-site parking!!… I highly recommend this studio, will be telling all my friends, and look forward to coming back. Еще

Because of very poor communication, there was a scheduling mishap on the day I was to receive my tattoo. I was told that since it wasn't my fault, my deposit would be refunded. It's now a month later and I still have not received my deposit back. I've probably called the studio about ten times when it should only take one phone call. I think I've been more than patient.

My friend and I had our first tattoo experience here today with Seth. We came in with a good idea of what we each wanted, and Seth went over the designs with us and walked us through how to make them better and more fitting for a tattoo format. We thought they looked good on paper, and with his guidance they look even better on skin! Seriously a down to earth and cool person too!
The shop itself was very clean, well lit, and had an open layout. It had an awesome vibe all around. Cool artwork and decor everywhere. Everyone on staff that we met was very friendly and made it a great experience. We got to talk with a couple other patrons there and they had nothing but good things to say.
Honestly being newbies we didn't exactly know what to expect, but everything went perfect. Seth was awesome, the staff was awesome, the tattoos came out better than the artwork we brought in, everything was awesome.
Thanks!

Travis was awesome! I came referred to him as the "coverup guy". I had this ugly shark tattoo that I got 20 years ago in basic training and I had been sick of it for years. Not only did he cover it up but you can't even tell it was ever there. I love my new tattoo and had a great experience at Beloved Tattoo. Check them out.

Absolutely love the tattoo I got here. My artist, Travis, was able to take a fairly vague and silly sounding idea and turn it into a masterful work of art. He was infinitely patient with me, though I know I don't sit very well. I couldn't be more pleased with the experience, from beginning to end, and I will be returning!

I brought in something really simple, and came out with this thing that I'm not so sure I like. The "artist" insisted on adding all sorts of embellishments that I didn't ask for but he insisted would make it "better". I only went with it and let him carry out his big gesture of self-expression on my body because I had already paid in advance. I didn't ask for it to be "better". I just wanted it really similar but with small adaptations necessary to make it a decent tattoo. Meh. I'm going somewhere else next time. They're too pushy. Actually hearing what people are saying and understanding that people are making themselves vulnerable by allowing you to do your work on them, is an attribute.

Sarah Jane is simply amazing! I came in because i had received a poor tattoo from Leviticus. Sarah came highly recommended and she put me at ease through my consult. I literally cried during my consult because the previous shop messed up my leg so bad. She took a horrible tattoo and transformed it in to something i simply love! The colors are vibrant and beautiful. I went in with a tattoo i hated and couldn't stand to look at, and walked out with something i am proud to show off. The shop itself is also very awesome. Everything is clean and they even have a little TV lounge with trail mix and water! In my opinion, they go above and beyond and it counts!

They say tattoos are addictive, well, "they" must be going to Beloved.Seven years and six tattoos later, I have been very pleased with their work.From the efficient front desk staff to the very talented artists, each unique in their own ways, Beloved is a fun, upbeat and quirky place.The ladies room sparkles and is equipped with wrapped mints, q-tips, feminine products - sheesh! Better than mine at home!Plan on extra time when you go - bring your Kindle.This place is amazing, white-glove clean and their artwork award-winning.

I've been to this shop three different times, and each time have had a consistently great experience. It's true--these people are artists, and if you want a complex, beautiful tattoo, you will get that. But I wanted a simple word in script, and they never made me feel like it was stupid or not worth their time. I also went back with a friend to get a simple line drawing, and she had the same positive experience. The bonus for me on top of the great work is that it's great for first timers. When you walk in, it feels more like a comfortable, modern living room, and less like a scary tattoo shop. It didn't have any of the things that make me feel too intimidated to go into other shops. The artist's areas are about three-quarter height walls, and the ceilings are high and open. Everything is really well lit.All three times I've been there, I (and/or the people I was with) got really personal experiences. The artists are friendly and funny, and love to share stories about life and their tattoos. I now live 500 miles away, and I will go back to Beloved Studios for all of my future tattoos.

I may not be FULL of tattoos, but I've been to my fair share of shops checking things out and I have to say I find myself disappointed from the get go in beloved. First of all, MOST shops I've gone into have really friendly front desk people who are more than willing to help you figure out what artist to talk to or make an appointment with for a consult. At Beloved, my husband and I were greated with a girl who frankly acted like she was stoned out of her mind and unsure how to speak. She seemed annoyed that we were there and rolled her eyes on more than one completely unnecessary occasion. Second, MOST shops I've gone into have been able to either have an artist consult real quick with you or make an appointment for like one of the next couple days. At Beloved, when we asked about a consult it was a week and half out because the artist had random times just blocked out in his planner for "brainstorming" the girl said.Third, MOST shops seem busy when you go into them - there' some life, people and machines buzzing. At Beloved, both times I stopped in it was quite, without people and I did not see or hear any artists working with people.I'm definitely not impressed and will not be going back there. My husband had made a consult appointment, but cancelled it because we found much friendlier and personable tattoo artists and employees elsewhere. I will be discouraging my friends from going here if any of them decide to get a tattoo. Major let down.

The Shop = very professional and wont treat you like your an inconvenience. All talented artists and their portfolios say it all. Here's the deal I lost my dog of 12 years that meant the world to me. I wanted to memorialize her. I absolutely didn't want to get the tattoo of her unless it captured her smile and personality. I held extremely high standards. You don't want a tattoo of someone you lost if its going to even slightly not look like that individual. There are certain people in this world that are doing exactly what they were born to do. Brandon Heffron is one of those guys. As an artist (musician) myself you know when you've met someone who is deliberate, confident and eats and sleeps their art form. I'll be going back ! Ain't No Bout a Doubt it

I brought in my design in a week before and dropped it off and when It was time for me to get inked up Dan showed me what he designed based off of my drawing and when I thought it couldnt get any better Dan took it and put his Artistic mad skills on it and WOW better than I could have ever imagined.

Ok so 1st of all, whatever font I wanted the guy (Dan) would say no. He wasn't giving me the fonts I wanted or adding artistic flares to anything. I wanted a scripture tattoo and he wanted to make it straight from the computer fonts, boring! He was a half our late for the appointment, no one checked to verify I was over 18, the price was expensive for what I wanted done, and he was getting upset with me for not liking his designs. They kept the deposit and I do not want to go back. The people where also very rude! Minus the receptionist.

I Went to Beloved Studios because my tattoo that I just had done a couple of days ago at Monsters Inc. looked awful. I wanted to make sure that when it was all healed that it could be fixed. The lines are uneven and the shading is not so good. Dan who I spoke with was so nice and he walked me through on what could be done. He also took the time to ask one of his coworkers(Sara) her thoughts. Might I say the tattoo she was working on for a customer was fabulous! She even said she was sorry that had to happen. It made me feel like they were really there to help. Even though it was someone elses mistake. I felt so much better after leaving. I cant wait to go there in a few weeks and see all the greatness they can do. Thanks Again!!

i went by recommendation from one of my friends. everyone i've talked to about this place has been very satisfied. i wanted to have both my nipples peirced. verno really took care of me and did an excellent job. i couldn't be happier. if you want a place where the guys are super sweet and make you feel just special for getting something done, this probably isn't the place for you. but if you want top quality work done, these are your guys. they even will take car of you if something goes wrong; most of the time for no charge. tattoos are perminent, get 'um done right.

I tried three times to get into Visual Addiction for my tatoo. Even after calling their line and finding out the hours and stopping in they were closed for remodelling. When I finally got in they were not welcoming and treated me like an idiot and a bother. Not a good experience for my first tat, I'm going elsewhere.
