Came in the shop looking for a new tattoo by the recommendation of a client of mine. First impressions; very clean, modern, and professional. The artist behind the counter, Cole, immediately started interacting with me and was very helpful with information about the facility. We started chatting about some ideas I had and what I was looking to have done. I'm not a great artist by any means, so I didn't have any sketches with me, but Cole was amazing with taking the ideas I had in my head and translating them onto paper. When I came in for my first session, she took me to her "space" which was very neat and private and not what I was expecting. We had a 4 hour session which went by better than I could have wanted. She was very nice and interactive throughout the process, her technique was a lot less painful than I had experienced before, and all in all she provided a very comfortable and professional tattoo session. The best part of my experience was how my tattoo turned out. It healed perfectly and the work she did was phenomenal. I've since then gone back for more sessions with Cole and will not try anywhere else. Great facility, really fun and nice staff, professional environment, and most importantly amazing artists. If you are in the area and want a perfect tattoo, stop in to see Cole or their other awesome staff. 100% would recommend this place to anyone Read Less

Not enough reviews on this place so I thought I'd chip in!  Went there years ago and loved the work Cole did.  When you walk in, it looks like you're walking into a spa.  It's so clean.  There are no clip art charts cluttering the walls or anything.  They are patient and kind.I do have a special story to tell.I recently lost my fiance to cancer, and there was a particular tattoo he wanted me to get, but he wanted to design.  He lost the motor skills to do it.  After he passed, I was driving around with a few things and I decided to stop in.  At this point, I was letting fate guide me.Jacob was the one who greeted me at the desk.  I explained everything to him and he asked the exact right questions. He asked me if I wanted him to call me when he was fine to check out his sketch and I declined.After the funeral, I picked up a giant painting that he had stashed at his parent's - it was the only solid piece of work I had of his.  When I went in for my appointment, Jacob showed me his sketch and I nearly cried.  He absolutely nailed it, just from asking me questions.  I showed him the picture of my fiance's artwork, and he made sure he shaded everything in perfectly.  I cried again afterwards :)I couldn't have dreamed of a better tattoo.  It is absolutely perfect.

Horrible. The owner is rude and has no sense of customer service. Guys never done business with people before, probably only gave tattoos to his mom because she's the only one who will put up with him. Other tattoo artists are very good, very nice and talented. Will never go back unfortunately because of the atrocious owner. Read Less

I went in to get a cover up by Cole and I loved it so much that I ended up getting a second one. She's not just great at what she does but she's also an awesome girl w an amazing souls. WILL TOTALLY be back Cole... can't waitI forgot to mention how clean the shop is. Very nice place comparing to other tattoo shops that I've been to before. Very relaxing and it smells good haha I was actually soooo happy that I dabbed lol and Cole took a pic of me dabbing w my new tattoo Read Less

It was my second tattoo and my daughters first we got the paw print of our dog we had put down on us Patrick did a amazing job keeping the detail and was a pleasure to deal with Thank You Again Patrick Read Less

John did my first tattoo yesterday and the entire experience was amazing. I was so nervous not knowing anything about getting a tattoo. He was always professional and calm. He did exactly what I wanted (and I kept making changes), made suggestions when needed and made me feel confident about my choices. As a first timer, I sincerely can't imagine getting any better than John or going anywhere else! I'm already thinking about my next tattoo and can't wait to share this experience with John again! He truly made this a precious day because my big sis passed a year ago. Now, the world gets to know, I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart, my dear sister RIP Annamarie Read Less

I had my tattoo done with Patrick, it's my 4th tattoo but this was the best experience I had! Made me feel super comfortable, so friendly, great conversation. I never write reviews but I had such a great experience I would recommend it to anyone! Read Less

Place is extremely clean. They also have great artwork for sale. Got my tattoo from John at a convention. Because of his work and his customer service I was willing to drive an hour to have him do more work on me. He is the nicest tattoo artist I have dealt with. Great customer service. He was always very quick at responding to my emails and calls. Never had an issue. Got another tattoo from him and am planning to go back for a lot more.Read Less

As far as the shop itself, it looked very clean, modern and spacious. No problems there. The reason for this negative review is their new artist, Randy Prause. Grossly unprofessional and disappointing. I had asked him multiple times to give me some ideas to add to a current piece (from multiple photos I sent as suggestions). He didn't and insisted he would have a great idea when we met. He showed up to our appointment slightly late, got stoned in his truck in front of me, (Who would ever do that in front of a paying customer? So insulting.) and was generally unprepared and disinterested. When I seemed slightly uncertain about his half-baked (no pun intended) concepts, he became alarmingly anxious and irritable and said he no longer felt comfortable and I had to leave. He refused to even touch up the poorly faded original piece we were adding to. After reminding him I took off work and drove an hour to pay him to do some work for me, he cited his "four kids and alimony" and how much he was losing out by turning me away from an hour long tattoo. Logical lol I feel bad for this shop...they are probably great but unfortunately hired a psychotic.  BEWARE. Read Less

Great place, great artist and super clean. I have been going to Sacred Souls Ink Tattoo Studio since they opened. I would recommend anyone to go there, the artist are very talented and knowledgeable. As a darker skin person they always recommend the best exaction of my tattoos, for longevity and overall look. Sacred Souls Ink Tattoo Studio is a great place to get your next tattoo. Read Less

Had my first session today and so far, I am in Love with my new tatt!! My first big piece and it's looking beautiful thanks to the awesome John Kosco :). Can't wait to get her finished and move on to more heehee. A great, clean and friendly enviroment. If you're looking, Sacred Souls Ink is the place and has very talented artists ( Cole is also great, she did my daughter's ). This is your stop! Thanks John!! ;D Read Less

Cole did an amazing job on my tribal turtle/Hawaiian Flower tattoo on my arm. It is so beautiful! A truly amazing artist that captured what I wanted in beautiful ink!!! This is the shop to go to if you are looking for your first tattoo or an addition to the Ink you already have! Read Less

I waited a long, long, long time before I got a tattoo(s). My little one turned into an entire back piece because I had 100% trust in my artist John Kosco, and Sacred Souls. I get compliments on a daily basis and most importantly, I am in love with his art work. I love this place, the people, the environment, EVERYTHING! Read Less

I honestly have no idea what the first review is about. I have been here many times and I know all the artists there treat everyone with respect. Great atmosphere, friendly owner, friendly staff and most important super talent and super clean! I refer everyone here and if you want a unique and original tattoo of quality and talent, this is your place to go.Read Less

I'm in town for a couple days and wanted to get a NJ outline tattooed on me with my friend Katie. I don't care how cliche or lame you might think that is.. I grew up in NJ... and now live in GA and gotta represent. I have 11 tattoos: they're all for me, and this is what I want. :)I emailed the guys here on Sunday asking if they take walk-ins because I'm only in town til Tuesday, so I was hoping to slide in on Monday.  I thought it was likely they were closed on Sun and Mon because my normal shop in GA *IS* (and I think most shops are as well) - but no, SS is open 7 days a week. WIN!John got back to me pretty quickly and said come on in around 1:30-2 and we'll work something out. Katie and I showed up around 1:30, which is half hour after the shop opens. I expected them to be slow on a Monday, which they seemed to be. Good day to slide in if you have the flexibility to choose!Immediately I noticed how clean the place smelled and looked. I later found out they've been open for about 6 months, and it's apparent they take pride in their work space. Patrick, the owner, told me he and 5 of his buddies built the whole inside of this place - a shop that is attached to a dress shop, and you almost miss it from the road. There are couches in the front by the window on a clean light brown wood floor.  The front desk is a wood and marble looking mixture and the walls are cleanly painted, simple and with awesome art hanging.  It's just days after Thanksgiving and they have their Christmas tree up, which I love.There are 3 or 4 rooms to get tattooed in.  John took Katie who was getting hers on the back of her neck.  Patrick took me to tattoo my arm (inside by the elbow).  We both got the exact same thing, so once it was on paper, the rest went by pretty fast.  The actual tattoo took all of 4 minutes - and that was WITH he and I chatting about rescuing dogs and cats :)When all was said and done, I had a great experience at a great price at Sacred Souls.. and feel like I will definitely be back next time my Tattoo-needs and NJ-travels overlap :)  I'd recommend anyone check out this conveniently-located, friendly and talented shop!

Great atmosphere and wonderful service! Patrick is an amazing artist who is not only dedicated to each and every piece he creates, his talent is phenomenal as well and I could never go to anyone else. Keep up the great work. Read Less
