“I can't say enough good things about this shop... I emailed them about walk-ins (can't make phone calls at work) Kayla was quick to respond and very friendly. When I showed up she went and grabbed an available artist. By luck of the draw I got miles who was very friendly and welcoming, he took an example of what I wanted and came back with some bada$$ original artwork. The layout of the shop is very nice, the open environment makes you feel more welcome and involved. Miles was awesome to talk to which is important to me while getting work done. He was fair on pricing and communicated well on the business end as well. He has definitely found a repeat customer.“

He explained every step he was going to take and I felt safe/comfortable in his hands.

“Got my tattoo done by Karen and she was locked in! As much as I’d love to brag about how well I sat, this tattoo tickled like hell! But she made sure to check in on me and still did a great job. I get so many compliments on the work and giggles about my little frog friend. Thank you :)“

“My friend and I booked a tattoo with Wade and we couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. We communicated what our vision was for our tattoos and he was able to guide us through making sure we were choosing the best size and style options for what we were wanting. His understanding and clear communication made me feel confident I would be getting the best version of the tattoo I wanted. His expertise in tattoos and knowing how tattoos heal helped us decided on certain stylistic choices that I wouldn’t have known to think about otherwise.His calm demeanor put me at ease during the whole process. Overall this was a perfect experience and I would highly recommend Wade to anyone!“

“I’ve been getting tattooed exclusively by Kris Roberts for over 9 years now. He is attentive, responsive, kind, easy to talk to, and as gentle as one can be while doing bold lines and color. He’ll take direction so well and puts his own spin on all of the inspiration references I send him that make my tattoos unique and eye-catching. I’m not one for wanting a ton of attention but when it’s warm out, and I’m not wearing long sleeves, everyone, and I mean *everyone*, compliments my tattoos and many times asks who did them! Every now and then people know exactly who did them because Kris’s work is so distinct. I waited until I was 28 to start getting tattooed so I was absolutely sure the style I liked was the style I wanted on my body forever. What Kris does is truly art and somehow he only keeps getting better! I love coming into Serpent and the Rainbow, even before their current name and location, because when I’m there I feel welcome like an equal and it’s not a boy’s club kind of feel. It’s important for me to be in an environment like that while I’m having something so permanent done to my body! If I have a bad experience, I’ll have a tattoo to remind me of that. Thanks to Kris there’s only good memories attached to all of my tattoos! Can’t recommend him enough!“
