I just received my second tattoo from Nick. He has some amazing talent! He did a cover up on me and you would Never be able to tell unless someone told you were it was. The tattoo is absolutely gorgeous he blended the colors perfectly with my skin tone. A lot of it was on the base of my tail bone, and I barely felt it. He has a gentle touch. That I appreciate and will most definitely be going back for more. This is a place that I feel very comfortable in. I have recommended Nick to many of my friends and family. Read Less

Stopped in to get my other ear pierced, as I've decided to gauge my ears. Had Sarah do the job, and couldn't say enough good things if I wanted to! Professional, friendly, knowledgeable...just a fantastic experience! I told her I was gauging, and she gave me recommendations for where to get kits, lotions to help the job go smoother, and after a few other comments and questions, she was able to point me to a metal my wife could use for piercings, as she's allergic even to most precious metals. Great staff, great selections of earrings, plugs, tunnels, etc.... Just a damn good experience, and would happily recommend these guys to everyone! Read Less

I've been coming to Ink Machine for years. Amazing staff. Sarah is the best. They are all very knowledgeable in their trade. Very wonderful artists. So friendly and personable. Even though they are a little pricy, you get what you pay for. I've gotten 4 tattoos there. 2 from Tanner and 2 from J-rod way back in the day. Countless piercings over the years by Sarah. All healed perfectly. Read Less

Currently working on a sleeve tattoo and Nik the owner has done all of my work. Never have I been disappointed. He once drew up a piece and added a diamond into the flower area, which I loved. I don't feel intimated by him to say I don't like something which is what you should look for. Several pieces done, more to go and all I can say is that Nik will be the only one doing them. I've also had Sarah do a lot of piercings she's so helpful and informative. Read Less

I get everything done here. Piercings and all of my tattoos. Tanner did 2/3 of them, and Nick did the other one, and they turned out exactly how I wanted them. I've never had any problems, and I almost cried when my arm pieces were done. My piercings have never been infected, and Sarah always makes sure it's where you want it. They are so helpful and fun to go see. Tanner is such a jokester. After getting any tattoo, he wants you to be 100% that you like it, and will do free touch ups up to 2 weeks after getting it done. I cannot say how amazing these people are. If you want anything done, this is the place to go. Read Less
