Gift Shop Tattooing is a relaxed yet professional tattooing studio located in historic Tampa Heights. The studio features an impressive collection of flash paintings and a team of talented artists who are experts in their craft. The artists, including Sean, welcome walk-ins and appointments, and prefer email or text messages for booking and inquiries. Customers have praised the shop's fantastic atmosphere and the great experience provided by the artists, particularly Anna, who is known for her kindness, patience, and ability to work within budgets to create customized designs. Many customers, including one who travels from out of state, return to Gift Shop Tattooing for their next permanent souvenir.
Hands-down, the best tattoo shop in Tampa, able to accommodate many different styles, Sean Kerwin and his crew have your back - and chest, arms, legs, and neck, if you like - with richly colored and detailed illustrations from a portfolio of thousands of carefully crafted images images. Flash, custom or complex, they do it all carefully and expertly. Definitely the place to check out - and while you’re at it, head over to Birdette’s art Cafe two doors down, where you can sit and have a drink and make some beautiful art to take home.

We stopped in as walk-ins on a Friday night after reading super good reviews on Reddit, and they were awesome. They got us in right away, drew up tattoos to fit perfectly in the spaces we had, and Ohran did an amazing job covering up a tattoo of mine. Super respectful, good pricing, excellent attitudes, and the vibe overall was just really good. Couldn’t have asked for better on our trip down here from Wisconsin :)

Been getting tattooed by Sean for years and I can’t recommend him enough! He’s a professional and talented artist who always works with you to make your ideas fit the design and budget. Additionally, all of the other artists are friendly and skilled. The shop is clean and has chill vibes.
