Moved from California and was looking for a reputable shop. Saw their Friday the 13th special and decided to give them a shot. Went in, got put on Michael's list and couldn't be happier. Arrived at 2 and left at 7:30. Well worth the wait. Front desk ladies were so nice, professional and organized. Michael's attitude was awesome. Put me at ease right away. He's a very laid back man who enjoys what he does. This was my 2nd tattoo and he had me laughing through the slight pain. I will definitely be going back to him for future work. Read Less

Home of the MaddTatter, this is the ink stop. Only place in VA to go! Seriously, check out his portfolio AND paintings. This cat is a TRUE artist. Good soul and really takes time to work out what you want. His artistic brain is so on point, we like to give him a core idea and see what he comes up with. It's not just our family, either. When we go to Front Royal it seems like he knows EVERYONE, and is friends with everyone, too. Check him out on IG @1maddtatter. Read Less

First thing people say when they see my arm is "oh my god that is beautiful (awesome, so cool, gorgeous) "etc. Then they ask who did them, and I get to proudly tell of Matt Walker hand drawing my artwork. I have the most unique and beautiful quarter sleeve, which will be added to. Matt listens to my wishes and ideas, and then creatively makes it work for where I want it. The colors are saturated and the line work perfect. The details in my flowers make them appear 3D. Truly incredible! Read Less
