I visited Anchored Ink after a friend spoke highly of them and the quality. I had a tattoo I needed covered up on my wrist. I was some happy with the outcome I nearly cried. You can not see the old tattoo in any shape or form. The fact that the new tattoo was covering the name of my domestic violence abuser of 26 years made my heart full of so much appreciation. Great atmosphere and wRm and kind staff. I would love to make a return visit. Anyone looking for great tattoo work needs to visit Anchored Ink! Read Less

I've known this place existed for years, but never really paid attention to it. It was kind of a random fluke I ended up here. Scrolling through Facebook one day, I saw Tony in my suggested friends and I basically went trolling through his profile. I had messaged a couple of people about the tattoo I wanted, but it didn't seem like they took it as seriously as I'd expect. So I kept looking and found Tony. We talked for a bit about my idea, which was a combination of specific and obscure. You know, half an idea and you need someone to complete it? I finally met with him and I really liked him. It was one of those ideas where half of it was cemented in, the other half would almost be played by ear as we went. Which was fine with me, actually. I went in and was nervous. This was a memorial tattoo to honor my best friend that I had lost a little over a year ago. I also decided to put it on my arm, my first visible tattoo. I needed perfection. So needless to say, I was a bit terrified. Lol. I went in with my husband to get the tattoo done and I was surprised to find it's a fairly quiet and really clean shop. It was relaxing for being a tattoo shop, if that makes any sense. Everyone in there is super nice and helpful. It is a great environment for a tattoo. Tony is the one who did my tattoo, and it is literally perfect. I can't nitpick a single thing about it, and I can pretty much always find something to complain about. Lol. He put me at ease, was super accommodating to my husband being there, greeted him as well. He really went out of his way to make us both comfortable. That's something I really appreciated. He chatted with both of us as he did the tattoo, and it was fun. He let me move around as needed, made suggestions on where to move to be more comfortable. As we were doing the tattoo, I saw another artist's daughter walking around, and Tony talked to her, giving her gum and it really struck me as being a family friendly environment. Other artists and people who work there came in and saw what he was doing, talked to me a bit, and it was just relaxing. It did not feel like the typical loud obnoxious tattoo shop. Would I return? Absolutely! It is probably the most perfect place to get a tattoo in Eugene. Clean, friendly, welcoming environment with great people who do excellent work. I'm looking forward to going back in October to have it finished. Read Less

I had a wonderful experience with Melody. She was able to fit me in immediately and was extremely kind and helpful in fine-tuning the design I had in mind. She worked thoroughly and made sure I was comfortable with the process. My tattoo looks beautiful, and was affordable to boot! ♥ Read Less

I came here to get my first tattoo today with Melody. she was absolutely amazing, and made me feel completely at ease. the tattooing process was quick, and melody took the time to explain what i need to do for aftercare. I will definitely be back at Anchored Ink for future tattoos! Read Less

This shop is brimming with a wonderful group of kind ethical artists and staff. I will be returning again and again. With Melody's expertise, together we created this amazingly Epic back tattoo. Rates are beyond fair. This is my best tattoo piece to date. I am going back next week for more. Read Less

I'm 54 years old and I know a good business when I see one. I have met the owner and like him. Big smile. The whole environment is comfortable and homey and all staff provided killer customer service/interaction. That's all I want at the end of the day. Mak is the artist who I was lucky enough to meet first. That was only one month ago. I have now had 3 appointments and have one on the books. Nice work Anchored Ink. Sincerely, Ron Vickrey.

Tony does absolutely amazing work and he is a great guy too! I saw him several years ago to have a previous tattoo that I hated reworked as it couldn't be covered up and big-T did it all free hand! It is my absolute favorite tattoo!! Read Less

I'd like to thank Jessica and Mac for a great first time at this shop and for the awesome matching tattoos we got today!! You guys did fantastic, we love them so much! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Definitely recommend Anchored ink!! Read Less

I got my first tattoo here and I have the worst pain tolerance in the world. Melody did it and she was so patient and easy to talk to. It was also my 19th birthday and her bubbly personality made my experience so fun. Highly recommend :) Read Less

Big-T is great! I've gone to him for all of my art and I've got a lot. Anchored is clean, friendly, but most important they are always professionals. I highly recommend them to all of my friends and family for their tattooing needs. Read Less

I can't vouch for all of the artists at Anchored Ink--I am sure they are all equally wonderful, but I have only had experience with Russell. I was referred to him by a friend, and I am so glad! He turned a crappy tattoo I had gotten in Crescent City, CA into something really beautiful. I had a bird with an ugly color scheme, and Russell fixed the colors and added a lovely frame with water and a lighthouse, and he did most of it free hand. I get compliments on my tattoo constantly. Russell is extremely artistic and knows what he is doing, plus he is personable and easy to get along with. Read Less

Melody does such a good job! She did a beautiful tattoo under my breast and fixed my ankle tattoo some other artist (not at anchored ink) decided to slap on in five minutes. They're both beautiful now thanks to her! All the staff are very friendly! Read Less

I love it here, the layout is great you have your own private room in a sense with an awesome TV to watch it's a nice distraction if your getting a lengthy tattoo! I see Russell and his work is amazing. Read Less

I won't go anywhere else now. They were able to do a walk-in for mine and my wife's at the same time so we didn't have to wait. Great friendly staff, and the tattoo's turned out great!! We're hooked lol. Read Less

Harvey is the best! Have had such an awesome experience. I came in with an idea for a cover up and he has brought it to a completely different level. I have never been so impressed with the artistry and relatability. Far more than impressed. My art is BY FAR BETTER than I ever imagined before coming in! Also an extremely clean and laid back shop. I was 100% confident in my decision from the beginning.Read Less

We were in town visiting and while walking to get a beer we decided we should get a tattoo. The first shop we passed couldn't get us in. It was about 7:30pm. I Google shops and found that Anchored Ink was open till 9. I called to check on ability and they said they could get us in. We were done with everything by 9:05. Our artist was laid back, talented and super accommodating. Thanks Melody Grace for beautiful script, perfectly done in an awkward super painful spot.Read Less
