    Jesse and Grant are AMAZING!!! Had Jesse do an Alex Grey piece on my forearm. Immaculately detailed line work with impeccable shading. On top of being top notch artists they are both cool chill guys. Within minutes I felt like I had known them for years. Can not recommend them enough! Almost forgot to mention the shop itself is beautiful and extremely well maintained!

    I had a great experience getting my first tattoo done at War Room. I had a portrait done of my beloved dog Karma, and Jesse exceeded my expectations.Not only did the tattoo turn out beautiful, the environment was relaxing, clean, and comfortable. Highly recommend!

    I’m so glad I found this shop. Grant did my leg sleeve. He does amazing work. Great communication, the shop is very clean, they’re professional, and made me feel comfortable. I can’t say enough good things. I trust them and plan on getting the rest of my tattoos done with them.Service: Tattoos

    I don’t even know where to start with this place. Walking in I was BLOWN away! It was the coolest shop I have ever set foot in. I felt like I was in a spa with the cool features and chill music. The guys were beyond professional! The place was beyond clean and working medical that’s the first thing I look for. Rooms are private. You can watch movies whine you are getting tatted. Jesse was my artist and even Grant came in and chatted for a few hours. I honestly felt like I was chilling with family. I wanted a bunch of tatts mixed together and I have mad respect for Jesse telling me it probably wouldn’t look good instead of just slapping it on me. He made the perfect design for me and it turned out AWESOME!! I love it so much! I will NEVER step foot anywhere but here again. Can’t wait for my next piece!Service: Tattoos

    I’ve gotten A-LOT of work done through the years, and I can honestly say this was the best experience at a tattoo studio I’ve ever had. Jesse did my tattoo in (3) extremely professional sessions that were well worth every penny spent. The studio is clean, well kept, and stunningly decorated. The overall vibe of the studio and everyone who works there is reason enough to keep coming back. The work I got done is the best ink I have, easily. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants quality work with an extremely professional staff.Services: Color ink tattoos
