Ashton Allen has done two of my larger tattoos and is about to do a third. I get compliments on them all of the time. One has intricate line work and is an original piece and the other has watercolor. Both were cover-ups and they are so beautiful. She is an artist!! She is very fair with her pricing and even does your first touch-ups at no charge. Highly recommended.

Got my first tattoo done here. Would highly recommend Ashton she did amazing work I can't speak highly enough of her! She did amazing on my tattoo and I am pleased with the over all experience knowing she took time to design such a wonderfull art work for me. The facility was clean and the staff was nice. So glad I went there for my first tattoo would highly recommend this place. It's not a walk in place you have to fill out an application online but it's so worth it four amazing artwork.

Getting, a bit at a time, my 3rd piece there. Can't speak highly enough about Ashton's artwork/abilities. She has been a pleasure to work with. Have been very pleased with the entire experience from design through application. All staff seem supremely talented. Check out their portfolios.

I had a beautiful piece done by the talented Rachel Gilbert. I have a mole on my arm that I've always been a little self-conscious about, and she made it into an amazing work of art.
It was my first tattoo, and she was very patient with me an answered all my questions.

After looking around for almost a year and a half for the right tattooist, I found Ashton at No Hope No Fear. She did an important floral piece for me, one that I'd been thinking about for a long time but still needed an artist's eye and consideration. Not only is her work stunning, but Ashton is honest, reliable, and a true professional. The shop is clean and inviting, and all people I interacted with were polite. If you want a tattoo that you'll be forever proud to wear, go here.

Tim is awesome. My 2 tattoos are so realistic a child asked if they were real! The detail is phenomenal. The "crew" are all very professional and personable. Tim set the bar high!

I could not have imagined a better experience. Tim took several weeks to exchange ideas, and took even more time at the shop to make sure the tattoo looked exactly as I wanted it. And his diligence really paid off. My new Tool tattoo would make Alex Grey proud. TIM KERN ROCKS.

This place is incredible. It was great to see what all the artists were working on while my masterpiece was coming together. Rachel is such a brilliant artist and a wonderful conversationalist (almost as important for time-consuming work). She was informative and professional and very conscientious about maintaining a sterile environment. I'm healing quickly and LOVE my new piece. You won't find a better studio and better artist.

Ashton was great! Covered up a tattoo I have hated for more than 8 years. Replaced it with a true piece of art. The business itself was clean. No complaints here.
