JOE MADARA HAS ALREADY BEEN PROVEN TO BE A LIAR BY HIS COWORKERS. I WAS NEVER KICKED OUT OF UPTOWN INK. I FIRED JOE MADARA THE DAY BEFORE THE 2017 CONVENTION FOR HIS CONTINUOUS UNPROFESSIONALISM. AT THE CONVENTION, THE OWNER OF UPTOWN INK, BARRY, PLEADED WITH ME TO FORGIVE HIM, AND IN MY HEART I DID. JOE MADARA CONTINUOUSLY MADE HOMOSEXUAL ADVANCES AT ME. AS FOR PA'S "LIST", LOOK IT UP. THE OFFENSE WAS FOR POSSESSION OF PORN. NO VICTIM. JOE MADARA IS FACING CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PROSECUTION. THEY ALL KNEW OF MY CRIMINAL PAST. I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE. HE'S A LOSER. HIS WORK SUCKS. HE ALWAYS WANTS CASH IN ADVANCE SO HE CAN LEAVE TO GET HIS FIX. IT'S A SHAME THAT ONE BAD APPLE SPOILS THE WHOLE BUNCH. ALSO, THEY TALK SMACK ABOUT PEOPLE WHEN THEY LEAVE. THEY DON'T HAVE THE GUTS TO SAY ANYTHING TO THEIR FACE. Very unprofessional. They do not honor appointments made. They never have the drawings made out in time. They try to scam customers by only doing a portion of the work, thereby inflating the price. Very lazy. Smells like cannabis there.

I went to get a family tattoo, done by Barth there, and could not recommend this place anymore. Not only do they have phenomenal artists there, they have some great guys who will talk about almost anything. They even have paintings and such hanging up around the shop, done by the guys, that shows off their talent even before you even commission them.
Thanks again Barth, for the awesome tat, and I'll definitely be going back for more.

Barry did all three of mine and chomping at the bit for a fourth. He is very clean and a perfectionist.

Your review helps others learn about great local businesses. Uptown ink is the best. Every time someone ask me where's the best place for a tattoo, I recommend uptown ink.

Got my first tattoo here on my 18th birthday, the guy who did it was friendly, and he offered me half of what another parlor priced it at originally. Even still, it was quality work and I am very satisfied with it. Everything was very clean. My only complaint is parking. It's hard to find a spot, and you have to use meters which only let you put in enough coins for an hour of use, which could be a problem if you're getting a large piece. However, if you want to avoid this problem park after 6pm when street parking becomes free.
