Getting my tattoo at BCTC was an amazing experience. Eli took my ideas and ran with them creating a truly unique work of art for me. The atmosphere was fun and friendly. It felt more like hanging out with friends than receiving a service from a business. I would highly recommend Bay City Tattoo Company to anyone.

Our 15 yr old son is a 2 time Cancer survivor.. He received a Bone Marrow Transplant last year and was cleared Today to get a Cancer survivor tattoo.
Bay City Tattoo Company did a formal job. The tattoo that our son swore that he would get when he beat cancer has the artistic detail that Bay City Tattoo Company is known for.
Our son's 1st ever tattoo is one he will cherish forever. We appreciate how Eli & his wife not only did a phenomenal job but also got to know him on a personal level.. Love this place, it was definitely worth the trip from Kentucky to Erie PA!!! We'll be back!!!

These guys are super friendly and knowledgeable of what you want. They were very flexible with me and did an amazing job on my forearm tattoo. The artist was very light handed and quick, but the speed he went did not lower the quality of his work. I'm going to be going back to get my touch up work when I need and hopefully be getting more from him on the future. Their puppy was adorable too. 10/10 Will be going to these guys again.

My very first impression was this is a very clean atmosphere, each room I went into was very organized, and professional. My second thought was how nice it was to be greeted when we walked in, we felt very welcome. My husband and I were given step by step guide to what we can have done and felt very comfortable with everything. We both were in awe of the talent that clearly showed in every detail of the artists work that can be done their. We definitely will be happy clients for all our heart felt art tattoos. Bay City tattoo is highly recommend by us!

I was itching for another tattoo, but being new to Erie, I was a bit nervous to try out a new shop and then a friend recommended Bay City Tattoo Company. I showed up, showed Eli what I wanted, and he worked with me to find the perfect design. I was impressed by how friendly both he and his wife were, and also with all of the art and designs posted around the shop. I would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone in Erie looking for great service and a well-done tattoo!
