My mom , sister & I came in today to get tattoos done because our father just passed away last Tuesday night in a motorcycle accident... Flash did an amazing job!! He told us what would look best but also didn't just slap something down just to make money. This was my first tattoo and I was nervous getting it, flash was super easy going and took his time to make me feel 100% comfortable. Will definitely be going back for more soon! Read Less

If I could give Flash and the owner (super cool dude and a Veteran) of Monkey Ink 10 stars, I would. I told Flash what I was envisioning for my tattoo, which by the way was a cover up. I made an appointment for the work to be done a week after my first conversation with him. I came in the day before so he could show me what he came up with. Based on what I told him, he drew something better than I could have ever imagined. Flash was focused constantly on every little detail being perfect, and in fact, it was! I would highly recommend Flash and Monkey Ink to everyone!! Read Less

Went today to get a tattoo. I had been to 3 other shops that day in Raleigh and this place was by far the friendliest (which sold me right away) . They act like they actually care unlike the other shops that were so rude and treated me like i was an inconvenience for even asking questions. The owner is so cool , the piercer was awesome and the guy that did my tattoo was so great . He helped me figure out what I wanted and his work is so smooth and the lines are so crisp. I am in love with my tattoo and will be getting all my work done from this shop ! Read Less
