“Dan not only took my ideas and brought them to life but he went out of his way to ask about different drawing, shading/ and filler ideas and took his time making sure every detail was perfect before finishing! If I could give him 20 stars I would. Thank you for always making sure every experience is fun! :)“

“Mine and my daughter's 1st visit & experience at Monster Ink and it exceeded any expectations I could of have. My 14 year old daughter got her 1st helix piercing with Marcus, and he was beyond Outstanding!! Aside from being so fun & personable, he was comforting & explained everything part of the piercing procedure to both of us. Even the other 2 people at the shop that were at the front counter upon checking in we're so much fun and personable as well. I can definitely see myself being a repeat customer!! Thank-you Marcus for your professionalism & humor.“

“I came in for a cover-up, and I’m honestly blown away by the results. The artist completely transformed my old tattoo into something I’m proud to show off. The detail, color, and creativity went above and beyond my expectations.

From start to finish, the experience was smooth — the shop was clean, the staff was welcoming, and my artist took the time to really listen to what I wanted. You’d never even know there was an old tattoo underneath!

If you’re thinking about getting a cover-up, I highly recommend Don Perry at Topnotch Tattoos. He is a true professional and masters of his craft. I’ll definitely be coming back for more work in the future.“

“Marco was great and his skill was very impressive. He kept a good conversation going and it honestly helped me a lot, the session flew by and it was not as painful as I had initially expected. *the bolder flower I got over 10 years ago with a different artist*“

“Had an awesome first-time experience at Blue Magic Tattoo Shop today for their Halloween flash sale! The two artists working were super welcoming, professional, and handled the crowd like pros. The line moved smoothly, and the tattoos came out flawless. Seriously clean work, and great energy all around. Spark notes: Blue Magic definitely passes the vibe check.“
