Got my first tattoo here almost two months ago, and I can definitely say there were some pros and cons to getting it done at TCT. The good news is that the shop is super clean and nice inside. The guy that tattooed me was also super chill (Keith), but just as we were about to start tattooing (we already had it drawn on, I was on the table, etc.) a couple of stoned people walked in wanting tattoos, and as the only two artists in the shop were working on customers, me being one of them, Keith got up and went to talk to/help them look at designs and I was left on the table alone for a solid 15 minutes before he came back to get to work on my tattoo. The not so good parts were that 1) Their base price is $80, and I was kind of hoping they would give me a lil bit of slack as it was my first tattoo, I’m 18 and have no money, and my tattoo is literally teeny (less than an inch tall, and like a centimeter wide - it’s a semicolon), but I still had to pay the full $80, 2) I didn’t find out until after I had gotten the tattoo that the artist that tattooed me is only an apprentice at the shop, which I would have liked to know sooner, and may have chosen to go with another artist that I felt more comfortable with and would have had more experience, and 3) as my tattoo was healing, I had been following all of the directions to care for it to a T, yet the scabs fell off and all of the ink from the center of my tattoos was pulled out with them, and I was left with just an outline of the semicolon, which I actually wanted to do originally, but the artist talked me out of it, saying it would look “unfinished”, so I guess this can be considered a good thing, I just regret paying SO MUCH MONEY for literally a few tiny lines. I don’t know if the tattoo just did it’s thing, or it was the ink, or just my care for it, but as far as I’m concerned, that definitely should NOT have happened, and I’m frustrated that now I have to go and get it touched up and/or filled in so soon after getting it... it’s only 2 months old, and looks like it’s aged a decade. Super faded and blurry lines, but I still appreciate and love the artwork, as it’s unique to my body. Read Less

This spot is outside of my realm of downtown existence so I've never been, but after they did a fundraiser for animals I decided to head in for a walk in on a Monday. The guy who answered the phone (Keith? Cool Keith? I'm not sure if he has a nickname) was super friendly and a way chill player about answering questions. Their shop minimum is totally reasonable, and they're willing to let you tell them your budget and they'll size accordingly. What the heck great! Shiro did my tattoo and he is wildly talented, quick, super friendly, and also a very chill player. This shop is tight I'll definitely be back. Read Less

Great shop! Can't wait to get some ink done there. Went with a friend, who has had work done there. The artist agreed to touch up a destroyed piece. Also did a small tattoo (row of hearts) and touched up a script piece that he had done, which had faded while healing. By the time he was done all three peices looked phenomenal! The experience was amazing. The service levels was beyond what I expected or have experienced. I have advised the artists what I want, and cannot wait to have my work done here! Read Less

TCT is my favorite shop in salt lake! Austin Huffman is the man. Ive received multiple tattoos from Austin. I pretty much have a quarter sleeve from him and it's all amazing work. He listens to what you want and   makes it 10x better than the original idea you had. He makes getting tattooed enjoyable. All my family members love his art so much my sister is starting a back piece with him. Charity is so kind! All my girlfriends tattoos were done by her. (Besides one, austin also tattooed her). They both take pride in their work and make a killer team. Keep it up guys! Read Less

Love this shop. So clean and open! The space is used wisely! All of my work is done here and so is most of my boyfriends. We have went into a few shops before just to see what other shops are like, almost all of them were closed off so you couldn't see any artist, over priced for the quality and cleanliness of the shop, and overall just dark and dingy! Easy to work with good pricing for the quality work you get! Every artist is amazing and will always be honest with you! Overall the best shop in SLC in my opinion! 10/10 would recommend! Read Less

Not impressed. I wanted to have different artwork on me vs using my same guy and my artist I won't mention his name just quickly threw it on. A tattoo that should of took a few hours took him 30 m. Not to mention it took 1 hour to even get going as he didn't even start the design I booked a month in advanced. The tattoo sucks I have to go to my usual guy to get touch up done and defined more. Piss poor tattoo with piss poor attention to detail. Not impressed and I warn you about going here if you want quality work done. I have tons of tattoos done and this one is a large one that I hate so much but nothing I can do about it. The dude doesn't even care about you or what you want. He didn't listen to my very specific requirements. Be warned. Read Less

Wonderful staff, and they went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. Even stayed late to help and perfect my tattoo, and the outcome was beautiful. I definitely recommend them. Beautiful work with great artists. Read Less

Ryan Johnson rocks !! I have been getting ink from Ryan for years and always get compliments on my tattoos. the other artist are all super cool and do awesome work too. The shop is clean the tunes are good and they are all easy to work with, the art work is always excellent !! FYI from what I can tell they get s lot of repeat customers and that should be evidence enough. p.s. If you're not getting inked by these guys you're missing out. Read Less

Zach Sandall is the best!! He did my first tattoo and I absolutely love it. Being a Breast Cancer survivor my word is 'Believe' and that is what he tattooed on my back along with doing my 4 daughters wrist with the same word. Couldn't ask for a more pleasant and passionate person to do your tattoo! Thank you Zach for making my first tattoo experience awesome. Your the best! Read Less

Booking at Tiger Claw was easy & the experience was incredible. Way better than where I got my last tattoo. I can recommend Zach and Charity completely. They are honest, clear, kind, and the work is beautiful. I'm sure anyone who works there is awesome. I love the cleanliness and safety of the shop. A really professional outfit. Read Less

Best shop I've been to by far! I have tattoos from several different tattoo shops but now I'm happy to say I found a tattoo artist that's awesome. Austin Huffman is great! Everyone else in the shop is also really kind and awesome. I been pleased with all the work Austin has done. My girlfriend goes to Charity and she's super fun to chat with but also does a killer job! This shop won't disappoint. Read Less

I have issues going to any other tattoo shop. I love this place and even though Austin is my main tattooer I would have no problem going to anyone else! Its a clean shop, not cluttered with too many stations and it has a fun relaxing environment! Read Less

The shop is comfortable and beautiful. Very open and modern. All of the staff is approachable and very friendly. Shae McAfee is my personal favorite and does excellent work. Very professional and kind. Always a fun time at Tiger Claw � Read Less

Tiger Claw tattoo is one of the best shops in Salt Lake City. I have been going to Charity - the newest member of the TCT family as she has been working on one of my arms for over a year. She has amazing eye for how to make pieces work and fit together. I can't recommend her enough.Ryan, has been working on my other sleeve for a while now as well. His eye for detail on complex designs is amazing and not only can he do the most intricate lines but they are sharp and straight as can be. Over all, the whole shop is amazing. A different vibe than a lot of shops. The artists at TCT are all like family. I love spending time with them, listening to the banter and watching all the artists feed off each other. The ambiance and the vibe of the shop makes it a place to hang it and just watch amazing tattooers practicing their craft. If you want custom tattoos, and want them done by the best in town, Tiger Claw is the place for you. Read Less

I gave two stars rather than one based on the atmosphere and appearance of the place because it was quite nice.  Reason for low review: Made an appointment with Charity and had given her multiple pictures of what I liked.  Came to my appointment and what she had drawn as her idea was really lame.  I had quite intricate designs and hers looked like a grade-school kid had drawn it.  We rescheduled for two days later so she could have time to draw up a more simplified, narrowed-down idea but still what I wanted.  She appeared to be agreeing with me and stating it could be done.  Got an email from her stating how she needs to design a tattoo created individually for each person to enhance the body, blah blah. She wouldn't do what I wanted (gee, how many people want a permanent part of their body to be what SHE wants, not them?!) She said what I presented wouldn't go where I wanted it.  I figure she just couldn't do it because it was so too intricate and complicated. So we cancelled that second appointment and I picked up my $80 deposit.  Went to 27 Tattoo Studio, and was told I'd need to come for a consult first then weeks later have it done if I wanted the female to do it, or next week with the guy.  Went to Lost Art Tattoo in Midvale, showed the same thing to Aaron.  He said yes he could do it and the very next day.  I was elated!  Now that it's done I'm even more psyched!  He did such an incredible job and exactly what I wanted.  Aaron is so talented.  If you want an excellent experience with a true artist, visit Aaron.

Awesome fun environment. �� there are a lot of places that are very judgemental and "tattoo snobs" but this place is super fun! They are all about growth and the appreciation of art. My girl Charity (who looks like Tinkerbell if you are wondering who she is��) has done my whole left sleeve and we are starting a whole new one on my thigh. She does an incredible job, so much that I had her finish my little sisters back from a previous artist and she started some art on my mom. I honestly will follow her wherever she goes. The owners are super friendly and funny. Read Less

We spent all of Saturday afternoon getting work done with Zach at Tiger Claw Tattoos. We had so much fun! It was clean and bright and everyone was friendly. They took good care of us from the moment we walked in until we left. The price was more than fair. I thought I'd be paying a lot more! Zach was super attentive to the details we wanted. Everything turned out great. We've gotten a couple of tats from other guys but in the future, we'll be at Tiger Claw! The whole experience was fabulously amazing! Read Less

I have many tattoos, and this is by far the worst experience I have had.  The artist (Zach) seemed to be in a weird mood, completely changed the idea I had explained to him, then got frustrated when I told him that was not what I wanted.  There was writing, and, after correctly spell checking it 5+ times, he proceeded to screw up one of the letters when it went on my body. (Which he admitted after the tattoo with a completely half assed apology, when he saw on his sketches the correct spelling.  Admittedly, I could have tried to catch it more on the outline, but it was in a difficult to see spot, and he reapplied the outline multiple times.  During the tattoo, he was explaining about a challenging life situation and was talking about how he had to "clear his head."  Wasn't a big fan of the vibe of the shop and will not be back.
