“I can't express enough how thrilled I am with my experience at Tought Tiger Tattoo! Having had just four days to admire my first professional tattoo, I am still in awe of the incredible talent that Niculin possesses. From the moment I walked into the studio, I felt an immediate sense of comfort and ease. Niculin's friendly demeanor and calm presence transformed any nervousness I had into excitement. It's clear that he not only possesses remarkable artistic skill but also understands the importance of creating a welcoming atmosphere for his clients.

The level of customer service at Tought Tiger Tattoo is truly outstanding! My boyfriend and I reached out multiple times with questions before and after my appointment, and each time we were met with respectful and thorough responses. This kind of dedication to client care is a rare find and made my entire tattoo experience even more enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Tought Tiger Tattoo to anyone looking for a talented artist and a wonderful experience. Niculin has truly created a masterpiece on my skin, and I can't wait to show it off!“

“Amazing tattoo experience from the day it was booked until the day it was complete. Charles is an amazing artist whose creativity far exceeded what I had imagined for my tattoo. It was awesome to watch my original idea evolve to what eventually became the final design. Thank you, Charles and Laura, for your hospitality throughout this process. I can't wait to see your idea to complete the rest of my sleeve!“

“@csimmtattoo
Chris has now done 5 tattoos for me and they are OUTSTANDING! Not to mention what a super-nice dude he is. And even more, he has excellent taste in music. You rock ?Chris! Thanks. See you soon for more.“

Lalo did an amazing job replicating my Nana's handwriting and provided great recommendations for sizing and placement to ensure the best healed / long-term result. This is definitely my new go-to shop!“

“Macy (aka Macetatz) is the best! I’ve had three sessions with her, and each one was amazing. She’s super friendly, and I felt right at home with her. She nailed my vision, especially when she enhanced an old tattoo! It turned out perfect! Her talent and creativity are mind blowing, and she’s now my forever tattoo artist. I usually never write reviews, but Macy is just that exceptional. If you want someone who’s insanely talented and genuinely awesome, Macy is your girl. ?“

“I don't often leave reviews because I'm absent minded, but Tony deserves a shout out in a big way. Solidly good dude, wildly talented artist. Did what immediately became my favorite tattoo in two hours.

He's professional but not uptight, friendly, and makes no nonsense about making sure you are comfortable. I'm sure every artist that works with him at EAT is the same.

Don't read any more reviews for the guy-- book him, you won't be sorry.

Specialties: Unique, gorgeous amTrad work with a color palette that is beautiful and designed to stay that way over time. Bold, articulate lines, masterful shading, and a style that really comes through.“

“Joey is an ultimate professional as a tattoo artist! He is very courteous, relatable, and awesome at his craft. This was a 1st time tattoo for my husband and I, and Joey made the experience delightful. We traveled from MO to TX just to have him service us. So don’t hesitate if you are thinking about getting an excellent tattoo. I highly recommend Joey!!

Cleanliness: Joey’s studio is spotless, organized, and highly sanitized.“

“By far the best place I've gone. Very clean and professional, and I love the vibes. I got my conch pierced with Tara, and I ADORE her. She made sure everything was sterile, was amazing at communicating, and made the process as painless as possible. She is so kind and speaks so highly of the artists around her. The jewelry is also STUNNING. I will be coming back for both piercings and tattoos!“

“Dope appt only shop. The guys are super nice. Cool atheistic and vibe. Very clean. Looking forward to my next session.“

“Went in for a group session with Kelly Barr and we all got high quality tattoos! Got matching tattoos and came in with a specific design which he was more than happy to do. Kelly was very kind and accommodating for our first timers talking us through tattoos on both the ankle and ribs.“

“A family member who got after surgery medical tattooing done by Arnoldo referred me to him. I needed a name in black ink covered that was sitting below a tribal tattoo located above my breast. I emailed Arnoldo to set up the consultation. He got me in his studio within a few days. I told Arnoldo I wanted watercolor and then I let him come up with how he wanted to approach the cover-up. We met again a few days later to get the job done. He not only made the name unnoticeable, he also brought out the tribal tattoo above it and made it into a spectacular masterpiece of perfection. He gave me detailed instructions on how to care for it so it would heal with no scabbing. Prior to meeting Arnoldo I had tattoos done by 3 other artists who do clean work. Arnoldo takes clean work way beyond the norm and has you leaving with a badass tattoo from a very kind, professional, talented and cool guy.

Cleanliness: Arnoldo is all about making sure everything is clean.“

“This place is awesome! Nice and tidy and full of talented artists! So good I fly half way through the country to get work down. I get my work done from Josh Woods. His color is like no other. Easy 5 Stars. Worth traveling to in order to get quality work.“

“I got my first large piece done by Catherine, it ended up being two sessions and she was so professional and kind throughout the whole experience. Her art is absolutely stunning and she was able to translate my abstract idea into a perfect work of art. Can't wait to visit again!“
