Walked in last night without an appointment and was able to be seen by Robert within an hour. he was awesome. Super nice guy to talk to during the process and I'm not a tattoo expert or anything but even I could tell this guy has a ton of skill. He worked quickly and efficiently and the finished product was amazing. I'll definitely be coming back to electric in the future. Also the guy that was working the front desk (didn't catch his name) was really great too Read Less

The receptionist was knowledgeable on answering questions that I had being a first-timer and said that I could get my tattoo done without an appointment (to my convenience, since I live 90 miles away and that I was in the area for a beach day). The whole process took 30 minutes and the tattoo came out just the I wanted it to look. The artist was friendly and we had a good conversation, making me relaxed throughout the process. Read Less

Sheila was great yesterday! My tattoo was an apple for all my teaching years! It is perfect and Sheila was so patient with me, yes, I cried. But she was so gentle and talented. Thank you again. I still want another!😂 Read Less

Every time I walk into Electric Tattoo I can feel the magic and wonder of a true and genuine tattoo shop. The place is filled with awesome flash sheets, and the artists and staff are great people.I've gotten three pieces from Robert Ryan, all of which I love. He's kind and humble, full of wisdom and great stories from India and abroad, and will give you a rock solid tattoo. His book of flash is amazing, and he's very inventive if you give him a few images or ideas. He works quick but very clean. Also very modest pricing.For me, finding an artist with a background in eastern spirituality, experience with plant medicine, and a deep reverence for traditional American tattooing was like striking gold, and if any of these things speak to you, check out his instagram @robertryan323. Overall, lovely time. I look forward to heading back again and again. Read Less

Tom Yak is the man to go to for Asian inspired tattoos. Each tattoo artist have a speciality. All are excellent at their trade. I've never seen them so any body piercing so I'm going to say they only do tattoos. Read Less

I can't possibly recommend this place highly enough. I've gotten 3 out of my 5 pieces done there, and every single experience has been both excellent and better than the last. My most recent piece, done by Tom Yak, built upon a preexisting tattoo I'd gotten done by another artist a while back. Since it was set to be on my ribcage and pretty extensive, I was wary despite how much I'd dug his portfolio for years now. Long story short, it was probably the best tattoo experience I've ever had. While I told him the basics of what I wanted -- the specific song lyrics + that I wanted roses -- the design and the typography were exactly what I'd envisioned even though I hadn't given him any reference images. He managed to make the end result -- old piece + new additions -- look like they'd been brainstormed at the same time as one huge, elegant piece. And while I never thought a ribcage tattoo could be an enjoyable experience, I found myself actually laughing through a lot of it. And the price was beyond right ($120 for additions that could've otherwise constituted 4 separate, standalone tattoos that'd have been $100/each anywhere else). It was such an excellent experience that we've already started brainstorming my next piece.Everyone in this shop is beyond talented, compassionate, hyper-creative, detail-obsessed and customer-centric. They care as much about your piece -- whether it's a walk-in or one that came with a master plan -- as much as you do, and that passion makes all the difference. I literally make the trek from the Washington, D.C. area to Asbury explicitly to get work done here. And it's worth every mile and penny. If you were waiting for a sign before taking the plunge and getting work done here, consider this it. Read Less

I had an amazing experience at Electric Tattoo. The shop staff and artists are professional and make you feel relaxed right away. My sister and I popped in as walk ins and left with tattoos we love. Tom gave me my three little birds and I was immediately comfortable with him and glad to discuss my thoughts and his thoughts on making the tattoo work best and have the best impact. My sister wanted a Latin phrase in script and they designed it in a couple options for her to select from. This was much better than what I have seen at other shops where you look through a font book. Seeing it in the options was better than imagining what it would look like. I highly recommend this shop.

My first ink ever and I'm honestly in love. Barrett was my artist and I honestly enjoyed his company. I'm only on day 3 of the healing process and I have had dozens of compliments. SERIOUSLY! Amazing work for such an affordable price. Check him/them out. DO IT! Oh and the studio is clean and very very professional. I will be back......soon. Update: I did it again.Read Less

If you're truly serious about getting a tattoo, $40 will hold you a reservation for the tattoo artist of your choice. At the end of your session, their fee will deduct $40. Very fair prices for excellent work. My entire family has gone to Tom Yak who specializes in Asian tattoos. He does visit India every few months so definitely call ahead of time. Next to him is another matter artist Mike S. If Tom's not available, he's the next guy is go to. He does contemporary"old school" tattoos. In other words he puts a modern spin on the classic looks. All the people there are exceptionally nice. Just be on time, be respectful and don't show up drunk. Very hygienic and plays cool music. Both customers and artists admire each other's work and freely tell each other there tat is great. Read Less

Absolutely LOVE this place. I got my first tattoo here (and so far the outline of my second) and I couldn't be happier. The staff is so friendly and accommodating, and the artists really work with you to make sure you're getting exactly what you're looking for. I drive an hour and a half just to go here, despite the dozens of tattoo shops near me. Definitely worth it, I can't see myself getting tattoos anywhere else. Read Less

Without doubt, one of the best tattoo shops I have ever been to. Sheila is absolutely beyond amazing. @sheilamarcello . Clean, friendly and some of the nicest people in the industry. Highly recommended . If it's your first or fiftieth this is the only place to go. Read Less

This shop is much bigger than they're previous shop and just as clean. The artists work in an open space so that stories, jokes and conversations converge at some points to make for some ineresting chatter. There is tons of beautiful hand-painted flash on the walls to choose from that is mostly created by the shop artists as well as some of the tattoo industry's heavy hitters. These guys are so into tattoos, art, techniques, etc. and it shows in their work. Saturdays and Sundays are first come, first serve with all of the shop's artists involved. They also take appointments during the week and are usually booked a month or two in advance (which is why walk-in Saturdays and Sundays work for an impulsive fella like myself). With as much experience and skill that these guys have, they are humble and friendly and willing to make honest suggestions as to what works and what doesn't work for a tattoo. Stop in for a consultation or tattoo and you'll see what I'm talking about! Read Less

I got a quarter sleeve piece done several days ago at electric tattoo by Rob Ryan. I had 2 small tattoos already (from elsewhere), but I was really nervous given this would be a larger piece.The shop itself is very very very spacious and clean. It definitely is NOT some seedy or sketchy little shop where it just screams hepatitis. It is brightly lit, has tons of art on the walls, large work stations, and is spotless. I was really impressed.All of the artists were professional, friendly, and really seem to love what they do. Robert looked at some pics of ideas I had and listened to the details I said I wanted. He drew up a great design and was more than willing to make any adjustments I wanted.Robert worked quickly (which definitely helps with the pain and time) but with great concentration. He has 20+ years experience tattooing. The lines and shading of my tattoo are smooth and flawless.The prices are more than fair, especially given the detail and quality of work. When you make your appointment you just have to put down a cash deposit to secure your spot, but it is later applied to the balance, which is cool.I highly recommend Electric Tattoo! Check them out... they tend to be busy on the weekends. Read Less

I'll be quick with this since I didn't get a tattoo. However sitting there watching my friend get a tattoo I'd eat off the floor in this place it's so clean. And Rich did a fantastic job on my friends tattoo. Read Less

I came to Electric to get tattooed by Robert Ryan with a friend. The shop was large, brightly lit and immaculate. All of the staff were friendly. There is flash all over the walls. The prices were incredibly reasonable for the quality of work. I paid more for a simple piece half the size in Philadelphia of similar quality work.I didn't have a solid idea of what I wanted when I went in. I have a few friends that have been tattooed by Robert and I love the style and bold colors of his work and knew that I could trust he would come up with something great for me. I have looked at a lot of Robert's work and told him the stuff I was interested in. After my friend's session was finished, we went and got lunch and when we came back he had a drawing for me. It was really inventive and neat. Robert was friendly and easy to chat with while he was working. His work is not only bold, but also incredibly thoughtful. I am SO happy with what he came up with for me and hope to get back to get something new from him sometime soon. Read Less

Went here for the first time last month for a guest artist.  People are nice and welcoming.  Spacious area in the front but limited seating.  Had to wait a bit because there were a lot of people in front of me but I had an appointment.  Once I notified the guy at the desk, he gave me paperwork and sat me in the back.  Within about 20 minutes I consulted with my artist and I was getting tattooed in no time.Took about 2 hours and a break in the middle.I put the pricing as moderate because I overheard the prices that were being given and they weren't too bad.   Some of my friends said their work is pretty good so I would say it's definitely worth it.My guest artist was a little expensive but he is a guest artist from another country.It was a smooth transaction though.Downside:Have to pay for parking in the neighborhood.I did email them and never heard back. So after about 2 weeks I just ended up calling. Read Less
