My sister's and I came in last week for matching tattoos. Same image but meant something to each of us. Andrew was a gem. We are a handful on any given day. He did such an amazing job helping nail down the design and executed it to perfection. I will be back for sure. Thanks doll Read Less

Can't express how much I love my tattoo! Mike nailed it! Everything I wanted. I was very nervous because I had high expectations and well let's face it, it's permanent! Place was clean, people were friendly, they were very accommodating and the cost was very reasonable (especially for the kind of artistry they do). Made my birthday the Best yet! Read Less

I've been here twice. Ron did some writing on my wrists, and I just got my foot done by Tony. Absolutely love this shop and the artists. I've been to other shops that were so not perfessional. They do amazing work and the shop is so clean, they're very welcoming. Tony is the man! Read Less

I can't see myself going to a different artist anytime soon. Tony Jackson is the man. The shop is always super clean and the music is always killin' em. Just got another rad piece done today and can't wait to come back for more. Thank you Flat Black Tattoo for your excellence! Read Less

I have to say that my first experience wasn't the best however that was about 6 years ago. To better clarify it wasn't the artist that I had but one my friend had. Yesterday I thought I would give it another try. Mike Irons did an amazing job. He was also kind, personable and had us laughing while we were there. Andy (although he didn't do my tattoo) was a joy to be around as well. It was a great experience and a fun environment. I will definitely be going back and will (and already have) recommend my friends and family to go there. Read Less

Definitely a great place I can't say a bad thing about any of the artists! I trust all of them, they all have great art ! Iv been going there for a few years now and would recommend it to anyone who wants great work from professional artists! Read Less

I live in Battle Mountain which is about a 3.5 hour drive one way. Mike Irons gave me my first tattoo in a shop in Tahoe. He was so professional and made me so at ease that when I was ready for another one I made the drive to Flat Black Tattoo because I trusted Mike's work. The shop is always clean, and the guys are always polite and very respectful. So respectful that I take my daughters there and my mom! Mike has not only completed my tattoos but I trust him so much I have taken both my daughters in for their tattoos. Thanks Mike! I love my sleeve.. and thank you to Flat Black Tattoos for making a shop we can go in and feel comfortable and safe.. Read Less

I have never felt so comfortable in a shop before due to egos and poor people skills. My tattoo came out far better than I had imagined after listening to the artists advise. I highly recommend Flat Black and will be returning. Read Less

Well lets start off with this, dont judge the book by its cover. Its when you get inside that you realize that the place has an awesome atmosphere. And the artist's are awesome. Always on point. You got Tony,Ron and Sean. Everyone thinks that they do strictly traditional, which is not the case, they do all kinds of style, but yes they rock the shit out of traditonal. Everyone has there own style in the shop, just find the one that best fits you. The shop is very clean. With great professional attitude, why wouldnt you want to come and check it out. So if youre interested in a tattoo, stop by and talk to them.. Read Less

I got my tattoo done by Tony. He was very professional and nice! My tattoo was a little different from his usual style but that didn't bother him at all - he did an awesome job! I would recommend this shop to anyone who wants to get some quality work done. Read Less

I have been looking at getting a tattoo for the past couple of year's. I moved to Carson City about a year ago and started looking at shops in Reno and Carson for the past couple of months. I visited a few shops and decided to go to Flat Black Tattoo for several reasons: 1) I like the set up they have. Very open and clean areas. I had been hearing a lot about shops reusing or pouring ink back into bottles when done, increasing the risk of contracting hepatitis or some other infection/disease. Flat Black uses little cups for their ink and throws away any unused ink when they are done, which was a huge plus for me.2) Ron, who was my tattoo artist, had good ideas about what I wanted. I walked in knowing what I wanted and where I wanted it, just didn't have a design or clue what it would look like. Ron gave several suggestions and comments on where or how it would look for several different designs I was looking at. Things I would never have thought of when thinking of the placement of the tattoo.3) This is a biggie for me also...the shop wasn't "commercialized." I have walked into several parlors where it seemed like they had too many things going on (i.e. tattooing, selling items to promote their shops, etc.). It was more for show than the actual art of tattooing. You walk into Flat Black and know they are serious artists. They aren't out to make extra money on things other than the art of tattooing. I really like that about them.I am definitely going back to Flat Black for my next tat. And, of course, now my boyfriend wants another one. He is planning on going to Flat Black also. I am so glad I found this place. Read Less

Great Job !! I have been back for more several times. They take the time to disscuss exactly what you want and proper placement. Style, color and shading are just a few more topics that are discussed before moving foreward on such a permenant piece of art. I feel completely comfortable leaving the professionals to do their work. Read Less
