I must say my experience at this shop was amazing. The first time i went in was to get a piercing by Ashley. She was very sweet and explained everything to me from the process of the piercing, jewelry and healing process. She made me feel extremely comfortable. The next time i went in was to get a cover up from J Pruett and i have zero complaints. He was professional and always made sure i was alright during the session. I will definitely be going back to this shop for more work. The overall atmosphere of the shop was welcoming in my opinion. Read Less

Huge shout out to Casey Hull for the work he did on my legs tonight. I've been searching in vain to find a local artist to be my go to and that'll be Casey from now on. I also had the pleasure of spending some time talking with one of the owners/wife to the other owner. She instantly made me feel like I was family rather than a new client to her business. Everything about their shop only proves the level of commitment and professionalism the team has for what they do. Read Less

I went in for an industrial piercing and Ashley (the peircer) gave an explanation on why it would be difficult for it to heal because of the anatomy of my ear, so instead she gave me an outter conch piercing and I love it!! She talked me through the process and explained how to clean it very thoroughly. I was relaxed and felt very comfortable the entire time. This place is awesome and I definitely will be coming back for more piercings. Read Less

Went in for an appointment for a tattoo but my artist left the shop for undisclosed reasons and I got put with another artist they recommended. He had a broken leg come to find out from a bar fight. He charged me $300 for an hour and 20 minutes or so of work that was extremely rushed and sloppy. He literally shaded outside the lines and the work doesn't look good at all. Went in later to have it fixed by a different artist (Eric) who did it just as rushed and made the mess even worse. Keep in mind the entire time the artists upstairs were telling me it's great custom work that the previous artist had done and Russ was laughing going "it has to be perfect" mocking me. Owner never contacted me back. I've been to multiple other tattoo shops and they said it can't be covered up- it's solid black. See for yourself and ask yourself if you would like to support a business like this. Update- Has been replying to other comments on this page but not this one. Read Less

My sister and I were tattooed by Russ. The shop is impressive and super clean. Love my tattoo and the prices are super reasonable. Russ let us pick all the colors and let us get every detail just how we wanted. I will definitely return there for any future tattoos.Read Less

Russ is doing cover ups on my arm and they are turning out really good. he's a very good artist. Shop is clean and everyone is laid back. I recommend this shop if you are looking for good work and friendly staff.Read Less

Thank you so much Mike Sharp for my tattoo! It was so great meeting you and it was the best experience getting a tattoo I've ever had. You listened to what I wanted and consulted with me every step of the way to make sure it was what I wanted. You didn't make me feel uncomfortable when I asked for a tweak in the placement or for you to make subtle changes in the tattoo. I love it! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! Read Less

I came in as a walk in on a weekend and they didn't waste any time helping me. Mike Sharp @electricsharpy did a great job at putting my crazy thoughts to my arm and I can't wait to go back. The shop was clean, artist were professionals and made me feel comfortable. Read Less

Very impressed! Came here for my first ever tattoo. Obviously I was a little nervous, but once we got started everything was fine. Mike did a great job from helping get the design right to the actual finished product. Love it and already planned the next bit to add to it � Thanks Mike!!! Read Less

I went in to Royal Ave Tattoo to start on some cover up work started by Eric and although i have waited 2 years plus to start on the coverup.bc i really wanted it to be what i was imagining. Well long story short the tattoo faded extremely bad. Not only did he scar my hand but alot of the color jus came all the way out. On top of that we only did about 2 hrs worth of work and i was charged for 4hrs. Ive tried to contact him to get some touch up work done on it but havent gotten a response or amything. I wanna say it is a very nice shop and looks like its ran very professional but for this to happen and then get ignored from his mistakes is not cool! This isnt directed to the whole shop staff but to the artist that did my tattoo. Read Less

If you're looking to have any kind of tattoo done, then I highly recommend Royal Ave Tattoo as the place to get it done. Some people make call me silly, but it was my first tattooing experience and I put a lot of time and thought into whether or not I wanted to get a tattoo to begin with before even settling on an idea. So it was important to me to have not only a talented artist complete the job, but an artist that was happy and proud of his work do it. I RECOMMEND DAVID AS A TATTOO ARTIST. He's a very easy-going guy, hilarious to converse with, and truly made my idea come to life in the best ways possible. All of the people here are very easy-going, and easy to converse with. You, absolutely, cannot go wrong with choosing Royal Ave Tattoo for your next tattoo. I added a picture below of my tattoo just because there wasn't any examples of script in any of the portfolios by the front desk, but he truly did he a fantastic job. I am so beyond pleased.

I went in for a cartilage piercing and ash is AMAZING. She was so informative and made sure I knew exactly what was going on and let me know why I've had trouble healing previous piercings. This was by far the best piercing experience and I'm going back the next time I get pierced Read Less

Love this place! Everyone here is AWESOME!! Super clean facility and awesome staff! I highly recommend Eric! He was so personable and really wanted to help us! His line work is awesome and he is a great artist! We were shocked at his work! Thanks Eric!! Read Less

Such a great staff of individuals, Ashley in the front is amazing and makes waiting hours for Friday the 13th tattoos worth it. Got my second tattoo by Adam and he does great work! Recommend them to anybody! Can't wait to go back to get more � Read Less

I came in super nervous about getting my nose pierced, it was really nothing to be nervous about, Ash was so professional and even helped me pick out the jewelry-- it did not hurt at all! But seriously she is the person to go to! Plus she has a great sense of humor and she will make you laugh throughout the whole experience LOL Read Less

I had a fantastic experience here!!! I came in for my philtrum and Ash was very thorough in making sure this was a good piercing for my anatomy, and was super kind and attentive to details. She took utmost care to make sure I was comfortable and took great detail and was crazy nice and sweet. She made jokes to keep it light and even when I got nervous when we got the needle and talked me through the whole process and have me thorough instructions for aftercare. Shop looks good, people are great, professional and nice, and they're coffee people (good coffee) and gave me some! Bonus. Read Less

The shop is clean. Ash will tell you if a piercing will be good for you or not because they are genuinely concerned about the healing process. They have a wonderful selection of body jewelry. When getting pierced, ash walks you through the whole process and made me feel very comfortable and made my nervousness disappear! Wouldn't go anywhere else to get pierced! Read Less

Russ and Ashley are amazing!! Their work is A+ and they're totally attentive, caring and detailed with the work that they do. I must say that I would never consider going anywhere else to have additional tattoos or piercings! I refer all my friends and family to Royal Ave Tattoo and Fine Jewelry Co. Read Less
