“We went to Vic for matching tattoos to honor our grandmother. She not only took time to listen to our stories, she went above and beyond to cultivate and safe atmosphere. The work was high quality and nearly painless. The shop was such a great space I’m going back for a half sleeve! Highly recommend!“

“Like many, I’m not one to leave many reviews, but I feel as though this one is warranted and apologize for those reading if this is long winded. Jon Davis, is hands down the most talented artist that I have come across having recently moved to the area and having tattoos, for multiple people across the country. Jon is single-handedly the best at what he does. From day one stopping in and talking to him about ideas, to first session in starting a arm sleeve for me, Jon and the staff at Vessel, made it clear without even knowing they are the best at what they do.

This next part is the more sappy side but, again with the experience I received I believe this is important to put out there. In early April, I had a close friend tragically lose his life in the line of duty. Unannounced to me at the time another friend/co-worker stopped in to see Jon. And without putting him on the spot, I’ll leave it at Jon taking care of him. When that friend of mine reached out and showed me/told me what Jon had done, it left me speechless and moved. His compassion for what he did/does goes far beyond his passion of just tattooing. It shows through that initial meeting and through his art and what he produces. Fast forward to my piece, Jon was able to flawlessly add my friend into my arm sleeve that left those who I’ve encountered who aren’t even “tattoo folks” speechless.

Nonetheless, Jon and his crew at vessel are truly the best at what they do. Everyone there is inviting and informative. Regardless of who is tattooing at the time, each and everyone of his staff makes an effort at understand and asking questions throughout the process.

Lastly, if your in the market for something small or a larger piece, call, email, or just stop into the the shop and see what everyone(bias to Jon) has to offer.“

“What a fabulous experience for an old lady…
My sister & I decided to get tattoos, we called on the recommendation from her future son-in-law. Charles answered the phone and kindly invited us to come in!
We arrived with limited decisions and Charles was patient and informative.
The place is absolutely beautiful- very clean and the protocol of infection control is excellent! I work in the medical field for the last 24 years and greatly appreciated their attention to details.
We LOVE are sister tattoos!
We may consider more…
Thank you Charles for a great experience!“

“I went to Shauna when she worked at American Ink, she did an arm tattoo for me. Over the years it was starting to fade and I just wanted to bring it back to life. Not only did she bring it back to life for me, she added some new details and made it look completely brand new, I’ll definitely be going back late December for a whole new piece. Shauna is the person to go to for touch ups or new pieces!“

“Kaitlyn tattooed freckles on me recently and she is the best! I had been wanting these a while and carefully selected who I’d want to do this for me and she went above and beyond. Gave me after care instructions that made my freckles heal perfectly. I’m so happy! Thank you Kaitlyn!“

“Went there for a flash sale and walked away with $150 tattoo for only $50!!! OMG I love my tattoo!!!“

“I got some tiny cosmetic stars around my eyes and he knew what he was doing to make them look like perfect little stars and to have them be long lasting.“

“My first time ever with Jason. I never had a pierced anything. I finally retired from work and thought....I do not want to be an old fart. I want to be an old happy hippy - Jason was very calm, knowledgeable and organized. Signed - Young again and revived-“

“Julia at Flawless tattoo was very friendly and knowledgeable. Great to work with and did a great job on my piercing“
