Ryan Helmering was referred to me by a friend so I could get an old tattoo updated, and I’m so glad I went to him! From my initial consultation to my appointment on 1/7/2026, everything was handled quickly and professionally. The shop is welcoming, Ryan is a true professional artist, and I absolutely love my updated tattoo. I highly recommend him for both reworked pieces and new tattoos!
I love big bear. The staff is so friendly and so nice and the shop is super clean. If you’re going to go, ask for Jake, because he is the best. He’s done 3 bigger pieces on me and they look amazing, they heal amazing, and he’s just so good. His fine line stuff is beautiful and so are his bolder designs. If you tell him an idea you have, he works with you to create exactly what you’re looking for. Every visit is just a great experience and I can’t say enough good things about Big Bear or Jake. 100/10 will absolutely go get tattooed there again.
The piercer Rayne was very friendly, and informative on my piercing before, during and after. They talked me through the entire process and gave me a lot of great after care information
