“I can’t say enough amazing things about this place! From the moment I walked in, they made me feel so comfortable and completely at ease, especially since it was my very first tattoo. The space has such a warm, welcoming vibe that instantly calmed my nerves. Powder is not only incredibly talented, but also so kind and patient. Powder walked me through everything, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt confident every step of the way.
On top of my tattoo, powder did my piercing, and it was just as amazing of an experience—quick, precise, and painless, with perfect aftercare instructions. I left feeling so happy and already can’t wait to come back for my next piece. If you’re looking for a place where the artists truly care about your comfort, your vision, and your experience, this is the spot!!!!“

“First I want to say I have been coming to Frank before he owned vintage when it was still starlight tattoo and he has always been super welcoming and a fun guy to be around. Always makes the tattoo experience fun and relaxed. He is a great artist and if you let him roll with his style you will get a great tattoo. I have nothing bad to say about him or anyone that he has ever had working with him.

I recently got to meet Mick and Mike both down to earth guys that want to give people awesome tattoos….i mean what else do you want? Something that sucks?

Vintage will forever be my go to spot for an awesome tattoo and just an all around chill vibe

Keep killing it boys“
