A very clean shop! I got my first tattoo (a small outline) from Kurt. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and did great work. I love my tattoo and would definitely go back here in the future!

I've been working on a half sleeve and the work is gorgeous. They are very reasonable. All the artist do amazing work. Besides tattoos they sell actually art work too. I would love to own some of the paintings that I have seen in that gallery. They also have a candy jar which is nice while getting a tattoo. All of them are awesome people and do the best work I've seen in town. Highly recommended Read Less

My wife and I had the unfortunate experience of losing our baby this week and so we decided to get a tattoo to remember her by. @tonytigertattoos was our artist and he was nothing less then perfect. A gentle sole who was easy to talk to, understanding of our situation, extremely clean, clearly loved his job and a fantastic artist. His skill set is far beyond his artistic excellence and we highly recommend him to anyone interested in getting a tattoo. It was a great experience and exactly what we needed in our life today.

Came in as a walk in for my first tattoo. Was pretty nervous since I have a history of fainting but everything went great. Jack made me feel really comfortable with my little fainting past, assuring me I'd be fine. He did a fantastic job with my tattoo, which is a cancer ribbon that has a heart attached to it. I'm so glad he perfected a piece that is very meaningful to me. I saw some pictures of not so well done tattooed ribbons on google which had me nervous, but mine is perfect! The shop was extremely clean and welcoming. Thanks again Jack! Read Less

Had my first session with Kurt and I'm impressed. But that's a given as long as it took me to do research and choose him to do my work. Look forward to finishing up in a couple weeks.

Kurt listened to my ideas and concerns, and created a beautiful tribute piece that was exactly what I was looking for. Nice, clean, and comfortable environment. Wonderful first tattoo experience!

Since they opened, Kurt Elkins, has done 4 pieces on me. All unique & beautiful. He's added work to balance somethings I already had in place. Created and blended a amazing background for a huge piece, completed a tricky coverup. I love them all. Only one is visible most of the time and there are compliments on it several times a day. Kurt's line work and color are on point. His range as an artist is vast. I give out his name and number all the time. Most recently, yesterday to a girl on the beach who stopped to ask about my work. Planning on having more done by Kurt this year! Read Less

Kurt's new shop is beautiful. Crisp, clean, and spacious. While it's not totally finished yet, Kurt is already booked solid so call ahead and expect to wait at least a few weeks unless you are lucky enough to score a cancellation!! A friend went to Kurt for his first tattoo recently. The clean line work and solid placement of his piece caught my eye. I went in the next week to meet the artist and discuss my next piece. Today was the day!!! So thrilled with the design and attention to detail. He really listened to what I had to say about color and small details! We agreed on placement and he got to work. The finished product is amazing. Can't wait to see the colors after it heals. There are lots of tattoo shops in the area, some better than others - this one is for sure one of the good ones. Recommend Kurt any day, you will not be disappointed! Read Less
