Decent work, clean shop, but nothing special. If you want a basic Pinterest tattoo, this may be the place for you. I gave John free reign with my idea, but the end result was pretty basic. He seemed to just be a guy with a tattoo gun, not an artist. The ink has held up, so I can’t complain. Just don’t expect much. Read Less

Excellent service and awesome work done by Keith. For my first tattoo, he walked me through every concern, multiple sizes of the design chosen (Calvin and Hobbes), and gave a military discount as well. Follow up touch up was free as well, which is great given the cartoon nature of the ink done.Read Less

A friend actually told me she found the best tattoo person at Planet Mercury and she gave me Lisa's contact information suggesting I talk to Lisa about the tattoo I have been wanting to cover up for 4 long years. I contacted Lisa who met with me that same day. The shop is clean and each tattoo technician has their own private room. Even the bathroom is clean. ... Lisa sat down with me at the computer, explained the process of covering up tattoos, gave me ideas and viewed potential pictures with me. Lisa with be covering up one tattoo. But what I am so excited about at this point is what Lisa did to a second tattoo that was not finished and just ugly. I now love this tattoo. I put it in Lisa's hands and she went to work. I recommend this shop to everyone. See more Read Less

The shop is clean and well maintained. It's in what looks like used to be a house. You have to do a u turn to get into the parking lot, or you can take the light by citco and go down the road to the parking lot in the back. The artists are polite and ask all the right questions. When Alan sets up, I can see that he has his area clean and sterile. He's efficient and courteous. Keith is polite, as is John, another John, and Justin. I've met Lisa once and she seems polite as well. Everyone there seems so friendly. Anyway. When Alan started my tattoo he got it done in a little over an hour. The colors are bright and the overall tattoo is colorful. The stencil didn't stay on (I understand things happen) but he was able to continue without it just fine. It came out perfectly and I couldn't be happier. Well worth the trip!I will go back for more in the future. Read Less
