I've gotten a couple tattoos from here when I was 18 I thought it looked amazing until I went to professional tattoo shops and noticed a difference I got my belly button pierced here and I had to get it re done some where else and now I have to get my belly button piercing surgically closed. Before coming here do your research and go somewhere more professional! Read Less

This is the most unprofessional place I've ever been to. For one thing they have too many people who have no business in the shop just hanging around. For example the guy who works in the restaurant next door with the septum nose ring likes to come in just to stare at women getting tats near their private areas. The owner lets him do it and the poor women probably have no clue the guy doesn't work there. Another thing I've seen them do is when someone comes in and says they want a tattoo like their friend has and show the artists a pic of the tattoo they literally print out the pic, trace it on carbon paper and tattoo it right on the person. Unprofessional as it gets. Do yourself a favor and go someplace else. You should know by how the place looks that they are unprofessional. Read Less

Please DO NOT GET TATTOOED HERE I went there for a tattoo on my chest and spent 5 hours in the lobby waiting. Every time they told me I was next someone got tattooed before me or pierced before me and I was the last person to be tattooed. On top of the EXTREMELY LONG WAIT by the time I got to the chair the tattoo artist only gave me about an hour of work and both he and the rest of the staff (who were working on other clients) started drinking beer while tattooing people and smoking weed in the bathroom. Plus there were at least 5 people in the tattoo room just hanging around passing out drinks with no work being done to them at all. Since my visit I've paid $500+ to cover up the work they did for me. Do yourself a favor and NEVER get work done here. Oh and if you're looking for custom work, they don't do anything custom they just copy and paste from the internet even if the art doesn't belong to them or it's someone else's tattoo. No appointments either Read Less

Nice, clean small shop. The location isn't the best for parking. I've heard great things about the shop so I came in for a consult and left with a tattoo. It's really loud, and packed, a lot of friendly customers. The tattoo work was great. The artist are very friendly and the prices aren't bad. Will go again. Read Less

I just got a tattoo from these guys and it was amazing. Even though I just popped before another persons appointment, I was still able to get my tattoo done fast and with amazing detail. The place is a little small but it doesn’t hinder the artists I’m any way and they really focus on their work. I was a little sketchy after reading some other reviews but now I can’t wait to go back and have them do my sleeve. Read Less

Everyone in my family goes to Flash for their tattoos.  I need a new one will go there soon.  Once you start getting tat's you can't stop.  I've been dieing for the tree of life.  I was away in Maimi in July-2017 and got a new butterfly on my wrist and I should of waited.  The artist messed it up according to my family.  I hope Flash can fix it and make it pretty like the other ones they have done prior to bday gift on my wrist.  Great spot and affordable.

do not go here unless you want to pay for a cover up, they don't know how to do straight lines and if you can't do a straight line you shouldn't be permanently inking people

Pretty good tats, for a decent price, and the more stuff you get at once, the cheaper it all is. yeah i mean if ur easily creeped out like some of the other people posting reviews on here, then yeah you might not like the atmosphere or what goes on....but I've never gotten a bad tat. One day me and my girlfriend went there and she got a two tats, I got a colored tat and I got an old tat shaded and touched up. And we each got piercings. Since we got alot of stuff we discussed it and got a deal for like $250 for all of that combined. I've been to other places that wanted to charge me that amount or more for one small tattoo. BTW both of my tats from there still look great and that was like two years ago. So mine don't look watered down or anything, and my friend went there and got a tat on the inside of her lip, it faded in two days, so we went back and told them and they apologized sincerely and they did it again and it was perfect. When it comes to price and quality or anything you have to say, just tell them. It may seem intimidating maybe for some, but Flash is a great guy, and they are all very nice and reasonable. And yes you won't hear hip hop in there, but I've seen every type of person in there, because it's cheap and good. I've also seen them deal with young people and first timers, and they are great at talking to them, being nice, and keeping them calm. So go to 4th street n get tatted up! Read Less
