Did the Roman Numeral for my daughter birthday and is currently working on St. Michael guarding time! Can't wait to finish this up! I feel like I'm the one ripping him off with the pricing cause he could be charging a lot more for his time!! I'll be giving this man a HUGE TIP!!! Diamond in the Rough! Read Less

I don't even know where to begin with this place. I've only been to one other tattoo shop in my life, and though it hadn't been a bad experience, this one with Floating Lotus blew that other place out of the water!I decided to come here to get my tattoo done after several recommendations from friends, and browsing some of the artists' instagrams. My one friend suggested I go to Mike specifically for the kind of work I wanted done.They're appointment only for tattoos, and walk-ins for piercings. I came in about a month ago to schedule my appointment. I worked with a friend of mine on the tattoo design so all I had to do was shoot him an e-mail with the photo, and he was able to take care of the rest!I gotta say, the day of my appointment I was incredibly nervous - but when I walked into Floating Lotus that day, the atmosphere in that place seemed to strip all of that away. By the time I got into the chair and under the needle, being worried about the pain was a thought of the past. Mike worked so fast getting the lines and color done in one sitting; it only took under two hours. He talked with me the entire time and it really helped keep my focus off of the pain (for the most part - definitely hurt more toward my bony shoulder!).Throughout the entire process he was incredibly clear with every step he took, making sure I was satisfied with everything before continuing. I even got a break between him doing the lines and the color. I am beyond happy with the work he did. A couple of days later and I'm hardly hurting at all. Mike gave me a month to return if I needed a free touch-up, but I'm not even sure if it'll be necessary. He did such a fantastic job. I'm already getting compliments.I'm definitely going to make this place my go-to tattoo parlor - and so should you! Read Less

Nick was very professional throughout the process.. from taking our phone call & appointment, getting pictures and info to draw up the tattoos to doing the tattoos and answering all of our crazy questions!

I just had my first tattoo at 55! I had Mike at Floating Lotus, and not only did he do an amazing job, he did exactly what I wanted! I was so scared it was going to be really painful and it didn't hurt at all! Really! Plus he made me feel at ease, that may be part of why it didn't hurt, and it was small, but it meant so much to me! It was for my Dad and son, so I can always look at it and think of how we loved my Dad, and each other "infinity plus", just like my tattoo! It's a small infinity symbol with a plus sign at the end.

Mike did my tattoo today. He had previously done a small tattoo on me, my first one, months ago. I put a ton of thought into the one I got today as it was placed as on my underboob/sternum. I was super nervous because I'm not a huge tattoo person in general and I heard they're super painful. He talked to me the whole time and calmed me down the second I walked in. The tattoo is highly detailed and shaded and quite large. He did an AMAZING job and highly recommend him. Read Less

I absolutely love this place, ( have gotten 3 tattoos there)Mike is a true artist and is always working hard to satisfy what the customer wants in a tattoo.  Just a couple of days ago got a 1920's style pinup girl on my leg and she is absolutely beautiful.  Mike has always made me feel so comfortable and welcome each and every single time he has given me a tattoo.

I made an appointment for my first tattoo and, not gonna lie, felt my feet getting colder more than a few times before the appointment, but I mustered up my courage (and even arrived early).  Having an anxiety problem complicates situations like these, but I found my happy place gazing into the huge saltwater fish tank and was abnormally calm when Joe  finished with his customer and then called me up.  He put me right at ease, chatting with me and explaining the whole process beforehand.  Before I knew it, I had a stencil on my arm and was awaiting the certain deathly pain that occurs when a needle shoves ink into the skin... but wait... he started... and it wasn't so bad!  I didn't wince, I didn't cry, and heck I didn't even pass out!  Holy crap folks, this guy is good!Thirty minutes of casual conversation and a little stinging later, we were all finished and I was given a sticker.  Just kidding, no sticker, but he did say that I "killed it, man".  In other words, I sat through it like a champ and I'm officially addicted.  Two+ days later, thanks to Joe's helpful care instructions, this tat is healing ridiculously fast and it looks awesome.  Everyone who's seen it has remarked that it looks incredible for being so fresh.  (Guess what, Joe- my skin must love ink.  I will be back to see you soon!)In a nutshell-  clean place, friendly people, talented artists, great prices...  what's not to love?

This wonderful group of people are so helpful and determined to get things right. I have gotten piercings all over the country and HTC in Phoenix Arizona WAS my favorite til going here.  So here's my story. I have wanted to get more tattoos that I have been waiting on to get and I have two I want to do as of this moment.  One is a complete back piece and two is a small arm piece I want to cover up a scar. These are very important tattoos for me that have very deeply  personal meanings to me. I am very particular about all my tattoos and don't go just anywhere, but I saw how beautiful my sisters tattoos were and wanted to try out Floating Lotus. I have read several comments about Joe so I decided to go with him. He is going to do my arm tattoo for now and will be drawing it and doing it on the 5th of January. I am so excited, the little kid in me is all impatient and giddy and can't wait to see his work. Secondly I decided to get some piercings and as with tattoos I am super picky about piercers as well. The place is super clean and Sam at the front counter was super sweet and so nice. Very personable and fun. I LOOOOVE getting piercings since my first one in fifth grade, because of the adrenaline rushing through my system and the release of endorphins, so I was so excited.  I asked for a septum and Monroe piercing, so she walked me back and I saw ALL of the equipment came from the packaging and was sterile, I chose a gem for my Monroe. Sam and Mike quickly and cleanly did my septum and Monroe. Other then tears from the nose piercing I really didn't have much pain at all and they look so good. Bonus fact the day after, still no swelling, blood or plasma from the piercings. They don't even hurt, unless I hit them by accident and I keep forgetting they are even there, unless I itch my nose or my cheek. Absolutely amazing for piercings. I will definately get more work done there and can't wait to see my finished tattoo drawing.  Kodos guys keep up the amazing work! A huge thanks to Sam, Mike and Joe for taking the time for me.  I am one happy camper! Read Less

I go to Joey. He has done 3 of my tattoos and is currently working on my 4th. He is the best. Mike is awesome, too, so definitely check out both of them. The detail that they're able to get into all their work is amazing. Incredibly reasonable in price, as well. I know him, so mine is lower than most would be but it's still so worth it. Today, I let their apprentice, Sam, give me a snug piercing. She's awesome and very friendly. Does very clean work and you can tell she is excited to learn.It is a very clean shop and very well maintained. It's on Main St. In the same plaza as Hyatt's. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. For piercings AND tattoos. Five stars no doubt. It's also nice to be in a tattoo shop that doesn't make you feel like you're at a screamo concert and making a drunken mistake.X's and O's!J Read Less

I could not be happier with Joe's work. I came in wanting to get all of my passport stamps inked on my arm, and I wasn't sure how doable it would be with all the teeny details and foreign characters. We've had two sessions so far (three stamps), with another appointment in July to hopefully bang out a big chunk of the other twenty-nine.The detail that Joe managed to get on these things is seriously incredible. It looks like they were actually just stamped on my arm, and I've had a few people ask if they were really a tattoo because they look so realistic, as if they just stamped my arm at the border instead of my passport. I have three other tattoos, but these are far and away my favorite. Even the colors match up perfectly to what is actually in my passport. It is killing me to have to wait to finish the rest. Joe is also personable and fun to talk to, which makes the time go much faster. Everyone I've met in the shop (customers and employees alike) have been super cool and friendly. The strip-mall exterior was a little unnerving but the inside of the shop is clean and welcoming. Read Less

Nick was amazing! He took care of myself and several family members, 2 with their first tattoos. Nick was very professional throughout the process.. from taking our phone call & appointment, getting pictures and info to draw up the tattoos to doing the tattoos and answering all of our crazy questions! He took time to be sure everyone was pleased with placement, size, shading, and much more. Each of us love our new ink! We all plan on having Nick tattoo us again! Read Less

I just had my first tattoo at 55! I had Mike at Floating Lotus, and not only did he do an amazing job, he did exactly what I wanted! I was so scared it was going to be really painful and it didn't hurt at all! Really! Plus he made me feel at ease, that may be part of why it didn't hurt, and it was small, but it meant so much to me! It was for my Dad and son, so I can always look at it and think of how we loved my Dad, and each other "infinity plus", just like my tattoo! It's a small infinity symbol with a plus sign at the end.

Mike did my tattoo today. He had previously done a small tattoo on me, my first one, months ago. I put a ton of thought into the one I got today as it was placed as on my underboob/sternum. I was super nervous because I'm not a huge tattoo person in general and I heard they're super painful. He talked to me the whole time and calmed me down the second I walked in. The tattoo is highly detailed and shaded and quite large. He did an AMAZING job and highly recommend him. Read Less

I made an appointment for my first tattoo and, not gonna lie, felt my feet getting colder more than a few times before the appointment, but I mustered up my courage (and even arrived early).  Having an anxiety problem complicates situations like these, but I found my happy place gazing into the huge saltwater fish tank and was abnormally calm when Joe  finished with his customer and then called me up.  He put me right at ease, chatting with me and explaining the whole process beforehand.  Before I knew it, I had a stencil on my arm and was awaiting the certain deathly pain that occurs when a needle shoves ink into the skin... but wait... he started... and it wasn't so bad!  I didn't wince, I didn't cry, and heck I didn't even pass out!  Holy crap folks, this guy is good!Thirty minutes of casual conversation and a little stinging later, we were all finished and I was given a sticker.  Just kidding, no sticker, but he did say that I "killed it, man".  In other words, I sat through it like a champ and I'm officially addicted.  Two+ days later, thanks to Joe's helpful care instructions, this tat is healing ridiculously fast and it looks awesome.  Everyone who's seen it has remarked that it looks incredible for being so fresh.  (Guess what, Joe- my skin must love ink.  I will be back to see you soon!)In a nutshell-  clean place, friendly people, talented artists, great prices...  what's not to love?

This wonderful group of people are so helpful and determined to get things right. I have gotten piercings all over the country and HTC in Phoenix Arizona WAS my favorite til going here.  So here's my story. I have wanted to get more tattoos that I have been waiting on to get and I have two I want to do as of this moment.  One is a complete back piece and two is a small arm piece I want to cover up a scar. These are very important tattoos for me that have very deeply  personal meanings to me. I am very particular about all my tattoos and don't go just anywhere, but I saw how beautiful my sisters tattoos were and wanted to try out Floating Lotus. I have read several comments about Joe so I decided to go with him. He is going to do my arm tattoo for now and will be drawing it and doing it on the 5th of January. I am so excited, the little kid in me is all impatient and giddy and can't wait to see his work. Secondly I decided to get some piercings and as with tattoos I am super picky about piercers as well. The place is super clean and Sam at the front counter was super sweet and so nice. Very personable and fun. I LOOOOVE getting piercings since my first one in fifth grade, because of the adrenaline rushing through my system and the release of endorphins, so I was so excited.  I asked for a septum and Monroe piercing, so she walked me back and I saw ALL of the equipment came from the packaging and was sterile, I chose a gem for my Monroe. Sam and Mike quickly and cleanly did my septum and Monroe. Other then tears from the nose piercing I really didn't have much pain at all and they look so good. Bonus fact the day after, still no swelling, blood or plasma from the piercings. They don't even hurt, unless I hit them by accident and I keep forgetting they are even there, unless I itch my nose or my cheek. Absolutely amazing for piercings. I will definately get more work done there and can't wait to see my finished tattoo drawing.  Kodos guys keep up the amazing work! A huge thanks to Sam, Mike and Joe for taking the time for me.  I am one happy camper! Read Less

I go to Joey. He has done 3 of my tattoos and is currently working on my 4th. He is the best. Mike is awesome, too, so definitely check out both of them. The detail that they're able to get into all their work is amazing. Incredibly reasonable in price, as well. I know him, so mine is lower than most would be but it's still so worth it. Today, I let their apprentice, Sam, give me a snug piercing. She's awesome and very friendly. Does very clean work and you can tell she is excited to learn.It is a very clean shop and very well maintained. It's on Main St. In the same plaza as Hyatt's. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. For piercings AND tattoos. Five stars no doubt. It's also nice to be in a tattoo shop that doesn't make you feel like you're at a screamo concert and making a drunken mistake.X's and O's!J Read Less

I could not be happier with Joe's work. I came in wanting to get all of my passport stamps inked on my arm, and I wasn't sure how doable it would be with all the teeny details and foreign characters. We've had two sessions so far (three stamps), with another appointment in July to hopefully bang out a big chunk of the other twenty-nine.The detail that Joe managed to get on these things is seriously incredible. It looks like they were actually just stamped on my arm, and I've had a few people ask if they were really a tattoo because they look so realistic, as if they just stamped my arm at the border instead of my passport. I have three other tattoos, but these are far and away my favorite. Even the colors match up perfectly to what is actually in my passport. It is killing me to have to wait to finish the rest. Joe is also personable and fun to talk to, which makes the time go much faster. Everyone I've met in the shop (customers and employees alike) have been super cool and friendly. The strip-mall exterior was a little unnerving but the inside of the shop is clean and welcoming. Read Less
