I can't speak 1st hand about an experience here. I'm just giving it a rating based off of the time I went with my friend. She was getting her 1st tattoo and she is very afraid of needles. This was her overcoming a fear and instead of the tattoo artist being understanding and hearing her out about her concerns… he just laughed at her and told her to suck it up so he could do his job. I understand a frantic client might not be the easiest to tattoo and time is money. However, a lot of artist in the shops that I've gone to will do their best to walk through the process with someone especially when it's their 1st tattoo regardless of any fear they may have. I just thought it was extremely unprofessional. However… I will say that looking through their books that these artist have strong portfolios. So if you don't mind a little attitude in your artist then this seems like a great shop that will give you a quality tattoo. Read Less

Matt Moys has done my ink for the last 2 years, a large water fairy on my calf, half sleeve (still work in progress) n just yesterday he covered a bad drunken mistake on my wrist n made it look BEAUTIFUL as always� I HIGHLY recommend him as an all around artist (paintings on his walls are sick!) N Mark Ferris who is amazing as well but I haven't gotten work done by him yet, he is on my list tho especially for portraits, this is a very clean shop where all the artists are super friendly n laid back, very comfortable environment! Love love love them, 5 stars isn't enough! Read Less

Mark Ferris is in a league of his own... and not just for tattooing, he is just an all around exceptional artist... His skills are second to none... He is killin it so much so that you have to book at least 3 months in advance to see him, however he is well worth the wait... You can tell he has worked his ass off and dedicated every blood, sweat, and tear to his craft... And his attitude is the icing on the cake... So laidback and completely humble... let's his work speak for itself... oh, and can have you laughing your ass off as he has 900 needles attacking your body while you try not to move! In all seriousness, 1 of the best and I will continue to recommend him and Under the Gun every chance I get! Read Less

Just got done a side tattoo by Matt Moys. He did an absolutely amazing job on my tattoo he is an awesome artist. Everyone who has seen it says, "It's gorgeous", and they are right it is. He is a super nice guy, and makes you feel very comfortable. I was very nervous because of where it is located, but he talked me through it and made sure I was good from start to finish. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to get their next tattoo done. I am already planning my next tattoo and I am definitely going back to Matt for it :) Words can't even express how thankful I am for him doing an excellent job on my tattoo, I am so glad I chose to go to him!!!!!

My mom and I got matching mother-daughter tattoos and Matt did an amazing job with them! This was my first tattoo and I still love the final result of it to this day. I am definitely coming back here for my future tattoos!! Read Less

Ok so my mom, sister, and I wanted to get something in remembrance for our dog who passed away in 2015. My dad went to school with the owner so I called and made our appointments with Matt and I'm glad we did. He did all of our tattoos back to back to back and did an amazing job. I will get all of my future tattoos from this man. Read Less

My husband and I have been going here for a few years now. Matt is always so nice and accommodating and he does fantastic work! Everyone there is so great and the place is super clean. I can't wait to go back for my next tattoo! Read Less

Lou did tattoos on both my dad and I. His hand drawn art work is amazing and his tattoos are even better. If you want precision and a one of a kind experience come here. Can't say enough good about this shop. Read Less

I didn't feel like I got the best customer service and I got way over charged, for the size and quality of my tattoo. I could have easily gone to another shop and got a way better price. I probably wouldn't go back.Read Less

Called ahead to make sure they take walk-in's- said no problem. Arrived and was treated like idiots. If you want a small, Pinterest type tattoo do not go here. Shocking a tattoo artist would be so judge mental.  Sad really since I don't judge him with tattoo's covering his entire body.  We went to Jersey Devil right down the street and was very pleased!

After waiting a mere nine years to get a side piece, I finally decided to pull the trigger.    Originally, I went to an over-advertised tattoo shop in Delco and was pretty much turned away (thanks for nothing).  After having my heart broken, I came to Under the Gun at the suggestion of a friend and am SO happy I did.  The shop (or should I say saloon), is cleaner than clean and has the friendliest staff I've ever encountered.  Mark Ferris does amazing work!  I have been showing off my new ink to all of my friends and they are quite impressed with what  he did in such a short amount of time.  (PS - I brought in a picture of a tattoo that I found online and he free-handed it on me with sharpies.)  Excellent staff, fair prices, clean environment - what more could you want?

This is about as perfect as it gets in the world of tattoo shops.  Clean would be an understatement, this place never has a speck of dust on the floor.  All the dudes that work here are laid back and not looking to nickel and dime anyone; just making an honest living.  The level of professionalism is on another level, private booth-style rooms during your session and a smorgasbord of artistic portfolios to pull inspiration for your own body art.This place really specializes in bringing in artists that excel in different areas, some guys are better at portraits, while others really nail that cartoony style of work that people look for.  I'm up to 3 pieces of ink in the past 2 years and had each one inked by Mark Ferris.  The guy is a creative genius, always has reasonable prices, gets the newest technology needles, plays good tunes, and is probably the most talented artist in Jersey.  When it's time for your next piece of ink, go check him out.

Recently I went on a search for the best tattoo shop I could find to have a portrait done.. I already had 6 other tats and for this particular portrait none of those other artists would do.. No offense to those guys but this was something very special to me and only the best would do.. I was willing to travel if need be and for this one I was NOT going to rush the process of finding exactly what I was looking for..After months of searching literally all over the country I found my way to Under The Gun, and their amazing artists.. Mark Ferris ended up doing my tattoo & I can say with certainty that I have found the artist for all of my future work & I cannot recommend him & Under the Gun enough..The tattoo constantly leaves people speechless..Everywhere I go people stop me to comment on it.. When I show them the picture Mark worked from they're amazed at how he was able to match every single detail -no matter how fine.. The down side to this is I have to leave a few minutes early now because everywhere I go I end up having to show it to admirers.. lol..Small price to pay for such a wonderful tribute.. I've been comparing it to the pieces presented in the various tattoo publications & there's no doubt this is definitely in the show piece quality range..The shop itself has a saloon theme going and it's very friendly.. What really blew me away almost as much as the artists portfolios was how clean & organized the shop was.. I don't know about you, but I find cleanliness to be very important in this type of operation & Under the Gun is by far the cleanest shop I've EVER been to.. Major star for that..I also have to comment on how professional the place is run.. Don't get me wrong, it's still a tattoo shop which means it's a pretty cool, loose environment, but there's also a very clear feeling that these guys have been doing this a while & know what they're doing.. That's important because it leaves no doubt that these guys are here to stay.. Whether it's for touch up work later, an entirely new piece years down the road, or if you have a friend who loves your work so much they want to get theirs done by the same person- this place is top notch in every area..One thing that should be pointed out is that you NEED an appointment.. The chances of walking in and getting some work done are slim to none.. Most of the artists have a waiting list of at least a couple weeks-which is really a testament to the quality of work these guys are putting out .. A couple weeks isn't too long to wait for something that will be with you the rest of your life.. Read Less

Thank you, Steve!!!  I am one happy customer.I sent tattoo artist Steve Martin (not THAT Steve Martin!) two pictures for inspiration in addition to an explanation of what I wanted in the afternoon.  That evening, I walked into Under the Gun to find a sketch that was EXACTLY what I had in my head.  I'll admit that I was pretty impressed with my communication skills, but mostly I was blown away by Steve's interpretation and artistic abilities.  And they didn't stop with the sketch!  The final product is gorgeous, and he even took the time to hand-mix the ink for truly unique colors.As for the shop: it's a lot of fun.  Sticking with the old west saloon theme, there's a huge, stuffed bison head hanging on the wall, and each artist inks in his own station that allows for comfort and privacy (imagine if there were cubicles in a John Wayne movie...or, better yet, Blazing Saddles).  Also important to note: the place is clean and the guys are nice.Under the Gun is definitely a place where you can get quality work done and have a good time to (cowboy) boot!
