This tattoo shop has been given a breath of fresh air!! This shop has recently changed hands to three, well established, talented artists. I've personally been tattooed by Pete, Chris and Sam at their other shops and it's a wonderful to have all three of them back under the same roof!! Clean shop, professional artists and amazing tattoos!!! I can't recommend this shop enough!!!

Went in today to get my wife some new ink for Mother's Day! Sam hit it out of the park! I got a "while you wait " tattoo from Chris which was equally amazing! Not only are the guys at the shop friendly and easy to talk to, they are amazing artists as well!! Thanks for everything!

I can not comment on this article about the situation, But I can state that I over heard tthe phone conversation between Tiffany C and the owner-manager and it was hostile ,nasty and no trying to resolve this issue. If a person can not work with you over the phone and you are the customer where is the customer service? I personally will pay for customer service not for owner rudeness.

I initially had a tattoo placed on my foot about a month ago, within 2 weeks my tattoo looked as if someone had taken a pencil and outlined my tattoo it had faded so bad, it was really bad. I was told by the artist that it may be a difficult but the part of my foot where I had it should be okay , and with the ink we should be okay and there shouldnt be problem.I am not mad about the outcome , but I did think that they would be professional to work with me when I called to complain about needing a touch up. The owner told me that he stated the hands and feet are not guaranteed but I never spoke to him about this only the artist. I think the least you could do would be to agree to charge maybe 1/2 of a normal touch up , but not too take any credit for your work is absurd. It is like me putting in stiches at work and not event taking a look at them when a patient has concerns about the outcome of them . Just sucks. Also the owner kept saying we are not responsible for healing, I healed just fine the work just sucked! I have no signs of infection or any problem healing , believe me I am a physician I would know. Stay away .
