“Took my 8 year old and 9 year old daughters to get their ears pierced for the first time. Experience was great from the moment we walked in the door. The front counter person was very welcoming and chatty with my daughters. When it came to the actual piercing, Jordan was great. He helped both my daughters understand what they were going to experince and even helped to calm their nerves. He took his time with them, didn't rush them in any way, and made 100% sure they were ready before he did anything. I would highly recommend Jordan and Irish Ink to anyone.“

“Allow me to take you back to 2009. I was browsing through MySpace (a testament to my age) when I came across an individual named Joshua Tennison, known as Shadow, a talented tattoo artist whose artwork captivated me. At 426 pounds, I was acutely aware of the significant lifestyle changes that lay ahead of me. My health was deteriorating, with a collapsing spine, type 2 diabetes, and limited mobility. My doctor warned that my heart wouldn't withstand another year or two without drastic change. I made a pact with my cousin, Joshua, that upon undergoing gastric bypass surgery and subsequent weight loss, we would tackle skin removal surgery together. Sadly, today, I wish to acknowledge Joshua's birthday in heaven. Despite his absence, I proceeded with the skin removal procedure, undergoing two tummy tucks and two other surgeries. Now, 16 years later, as I look towards 2026, I've decided to embark on a new journey – one that involves Shadow redesigning my body art. With numerous scars from previous surgeries and questionable tattoos, Shadow has his work cut out for him. Our first session was an amazing process, during which he attentively listened to me and began crafting my skin story. I admire his exceptional talent and commend his professionalism. I'll be sure to post more photos following my next session in May.“

“I went in to start my gauges. Of course I was freaking out. But my girl told me it was normal and walked me through the process. It wasn't as bad as I thought.“

“Came in a month ago to lay out a plan with Nick for a chest to sleeve tattoo idea I'd had for years. We went over the cost & number of sessions it would take, I gave him some ideas I had, and let him work his magic.

I had no idea what he might create, but I'm absolutely thrilled with what he's envisioned. We've got a long ways to go before we're done, but part 1 is in and I can't wait to get back on that table again ?“

“Hank did the damn thing! Very professional and was super friendly. 3 of us went for matching tattoos and he made sure that each one of us got exactly what we wanted. 1 got a bigger size and 2 of us got a smaller size and he made sure that placement was good and if we needed to adjust he would have but he got it spot on! Thanks Hank.“

“My girlfriend and I got our first tattoos here just last month and couldn’t be happier with them. Victoria was great, gave us plenty of options to choose from based on our suggestions, was highly knowledgeable and actually convinced us to change the position on where we wanted to get the tattoo. Again, couldn’t be happier, and will be visiting again soon! Thanks Victoria!“

“Been going to Carlos for years, my family comes here and now today my daughter got her 1st tattoo!!!! You never disappoint!!! Thank you!!“

“This is all in one, whole woman body care facility. The owner is super hard working and accommodating. She uses the best quality products and the results show themselves. I have gotten body messages, cupping, threading, root touch ups, green streaks and protein treatments amongst other. Highly recommended.“

“My two daughters and I scheduled an appointment with Brent to get ear piercings. My younger daughter only had her lobes pierced and wasn't sure what she wanted, my older daughter had two different ideas and I had an idea what I thought I wanted. Brent was super patient and helpful and helped us choose, giving us information and showing us where he suggested placing them. His set up was very clean and the actual piercing was great. We left feeling that we got the perfect piercings and jewelry. We will certainly go back for more piercings!“

“Cheeto did my belly button piercing!!! He did an incredible job!!! As a transgender woman he made me feel very comfortable and safe. I would definitely recommend members of the community to come here and request Cheeto!!!“

“Lew did an amazing job with my tattoo. He truly listened and made my idea come to life. He took his time and was very respectful/made sure to check on me if I needed a break. I will definitely be back to get more tattoos :).

PS- If you want to do a walk in tattoo, make sure to call ahead and see if they can get you in same day. Don't just walk in and go interrupt the artists while they're working on someone else. It's disrespectful to the client and the artist. <3“

“My friend Alex and I got our first tattoos here and we had such a good experience! Sarah was our artist and she was so kind and the whole team was really welcoming to us. They had drinks and lots of food available and they made us feel super comfortable and at home!“

“Always a good experience with the artists there. They will point you to one that does the same style of work you are wanting.“

“I have been a long time customer, since 1993. I have always trusted Artistic Skin Designs and it's artist for the designs I have on my body. They have been helpful, informative, clean, and very professional. If you're looking for precise clean lines, I highly recommend having your tattoo done by Caleb Thomas. He recently drew up and tattooed me with a memorial piece that literally brought me to tears upon completion. This is my go to place for talent. You will not be disappointed.“

“Ive come here twice now and i just wanna say I love the artist Garrett he is the best artist I have ever gotten a tattoo from and I hope to get all the of my future tattoos done by him🫶 I would highly recommend this place to anyone“

“Got two different pieces done one in November of 2020 and then a second one in March of 2021 they both heals nicely and four years later they look like they were just done no fading do discoloration and no damage!!“

“Best experience ever ! Ashley did such a great job on my tat I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone that needs ink or piercing or whatever they can do it all! Loved my experience here they just made me feel right at home !!!?“

“Rooster absolutely crushed it. Great atmosphere, clean, amazing tattoo, amazing prices. He handdrew everything and took so much time with me to make the piece just right, he stayed after the shop closed to finish the tattoo. dude exceeds expectations, He was so detail oriented and I couldnt ask for a better tattoo. such a good time chilling. dude it outstanding. if i get another im definitely coming back“

“Had a fantastic experience at Fountain Square Tattoo. Kit Miller did my tattoo of Anubis and it went above and beyond my expectations. Friendly environment, welcoming, and each step of the process was explained throughly. Great collaboration, and I would highly recommend them.“
