Wish I could give Derek Raulerson more than 5 stars! I've worked with 6 Tampa Bay artists and probably another 6+ others around the Eastern US on various pieces and Derek is my go to guy now. He did 2 amazing pieces (one for my wife and one for me) and the guy has an amazing scope of artistry and ability to do different work.

Best tattoo experience I've ever had! (Been getting tattoos for 18 years now) Mike was professional and incredibly kind and did such an insanely awesome job on my arm.

His work is worth every penny! You will not regret getting your next tattoo here.

Great, right down to business kind of shop! Talented team of artists and they deliver quality inked product! You’re in safe gloved hands at their tattoo establishment! I’ve been tattooed by the man, myth, legend mister Mike Parsons over several sessions- I can safely say that if you manage to make that tough guy repeatedly giggle during your tattoo then you Win at Life! And that should be your goal as you enjoy the pain! 5 stars! Miss ya Mike ???
