I got my first tattoo done by Jake Ross back in 2015 which was a super realistic Jesus portrait and felt this shop needed way more recognition with reviews. If you haven’t seen Jake’s work he is amazing and I suggest everyone check out his work and setup an appointment with him. I promise you won’t be disappointed. I won’t go to anyone, but jake. Nobody in Northeastern Ohio has the skill he does. Read Less

Andrew redid my tattoo. It was a 25 years old and faded. He also added to it. It is beautiful and I could not be happier! The shop is clean and friendly. Jake the owner was great too! Super fun! I'm excited to go back! Read Less

I loved going and getting my art done by Jeff. He is very down to earth and relaxed. Makes it easy for anyone to go to him. His lines are soooo clean. Thank you for doing our groups tattoos. Can't wait to book my next one Read Less

Went and got my first tattoo yesterday and I was super nervous how it was gonna turn out. If anyone knows me and my bond with my dog. He really helped me bring it to life in art! I absolutely love it! Very clean shop and would recommend anyone to them. It was such a great price and was very informative on the ink we should use for my print. Would go back for sure for another.

I absolutely love the tattoo I got from jeff! He is great at what he does. The pricing was very good also. Will be back again! And this time I'll more than likely be bringing some friends with so they can get some work done too! Highly recommend. Read Less

I waited 56 years for my first tattoo. Truth be told... I didn't even consider getting one for the first 55. When life threw me some rather unpleasant curveballs I discovered the need to surround myself with positive words and images. A Pinterest addiction quickly brought semicolon tattoos to my attention and I decided that I wanted one. (My son finds great humor in reminding me that I used to threaten to disown him for getting a tattoo.) My priorities were to find a clean ta...ttoo parlor, with a talented artist, at an affordable price. My search led me to Jeff, at Back Alley Tattoo, and I'm so glad it did! Jeff is not only an excellent artist but an awesome human being with whom to spend an afternoon! I loved my design from the first minute. Driving from Menomonee to Thorp, via the Lake Hallie Walmart, felt way too long to wait to look under the gauze! Then as it healed, I realized that I wanted to change the design a bit, so I went back to see Jeff, to add a heartbeat line and emphasize the semicolon. Jeff suggested adding white highlights to make the black ink pop. And he gave me a price that seems far kinder to my wallet than his! Researching my next tattoo design now even though it will be quite a while before my budget can handle it! Wish I could figure out how to add a photo! See More Read Less

Artwork is amazing. Artist is fantastic. Shop is spotless. I have nothing but good things to say. Wasn't planning on getting anymore tattoos but after my experience today I'm already thinking up my next one and I can't wait to go back! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended and I'll definitely be singing his praises to anyone and everyone! Read Less
