We were all impressed with you and the shop in general. This has got to be the busiest tattoo shops I have ever been to.You guys handled each and everyone with such a relaxed professionalism and made every person that walked into your shop feel like they were important and special. Never have I ever seen such a smooth operation with so many customers just walking in off the street. We were there for a little over 3 hours and we were all very impressed! Oh BTW there was 3 of us and we were walk~ins.“

She gave her excellent guidance on how to keep her piercing healthy, and my kid came away loved & cared for. Excellent all-around, and as repeat clients we knew that’s what we’d get. Love this amazing woman! ❤“

“Victoria is amazing!! Absolutely beautiful piece and such a great experience! Definitely will be back!!“

“So last week I went to a cancer benefit and I won a free tattoo with the raffle that they were doing. So I went in and I talked to Chris. The first photo is the one I wanted. I gave him creative freedom to tweak it and put his spin on it. I believe you have to let an artist be creative and put a little bit of themselves into each tattoo. The second picture is my finished product.
Considering that in all actuality, this was a free tattoo, Chris did not treat it that way at all.
He definitely put his own spin on it, he put love into that tattoo. He put creativity into and made it his own.
The line work is amazing, the shading is amazing, I absolutely love it. It’s even better than what I picked.
The shop is absolutely spotless and you gotta love Thunder the shop mascot. Overall, my experience was amazing. I have been looking for a tattoo artist since I moved here from Florida two years ago and I have definitely found my man. Thank you so much Chris for making this tattoo even better than I thought, you now have a customer for life.“

“I really do appreciate Brandon for doing my tattoo & taking the time to do it. I'm in love with it. 10/10 recommend him“

“My husband and I worked with London to get a drawing our 3-year-old made tattooed. He was communicative and brought our vision to life. We are so pleased with the process start to finish and our tattoos are great! Would recommend London over and over again!“

“Kaia does the absolute best work on me, has great design ideas, and is easy to work with to get an awesome product (all mine pictured). They’ve done my first, and all 3 of my tattoos, with a fourth schedule soon! Both Dale and Kaia create a very welcoming environment for clients and guests. Cannot speak enough praises for their care and thoroughness with their work. And you get stickers after you get tatted!“

“Mari is amazing and so talented. Best short stylish cut I have had in many years and people are always complimenting me on it! Love that I can let it grow a while before my next trim and it still looks great.“

“Jesse is an amazing artist. I will get all my tattoos from him. He is kind and pays attention to detail. The price is right as well. Highly recommend this place and this artist.“

“I got my first tattoo from Christian and had a wonderful experience. He was patient and walked me through the process in detail. Very happy with my experience!“

“Robert was absolutely amazing! He was closing for the night but was kind enough to stay a little later to fit me in for my nose piercing, and I truly appreciated it. He made the entire experience comfortable and stress-free. Everything was extremely clean, sterile, and professional, and he took the time to explain the process and answer my questions. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and takes pride in his work. This was by far the best piercing experience I’ve ever had. I highly recommend Robert to anyone looking for a safe, professional, and friendly experience!“

“Styles by Froggie did a phenomenal job on my peacock feather tattoo. I couldn’t be more pleased with the whole experience.“
