    I got my first tattoo ever here by Jay. He's absolutely amazing and so communicative. He talked me through the whole process and answered any questions I had. If he was tattooing over a section that might have been painful he gave me a heads up. His skill as an artist is great too! I absolutely love my tattoo and the colours are gorgeous ❤

    The shop itself is so cool and inviting. Each artist has they're own station persolized to them and the music selection has always been a hit. Jay offered to change it if I wanted something else but I was vibing with every playlist or song that was put on.

    I've recommended this shop to all my friends looking to...read full review

    probably the only tattoo studio where i’d be happy to be tattooed by any artist in the studio. seriously, every single one of them is incredibly talented! i’ve gotten tattooed by Frankie and Kailyn and it’s been such a great experience each time! Kailyn is doing my anglerfish (currently unfinished but it still looks amazinggggg as is!) and Frankie did my Hieronymous Bosch creature on a walk in weekend. the whole staff is so so sweet and lovely, what a welcoming environment. can’t wait for my next appointment <33

    Matt Corbin is the best! Have gotten two flash tattoos from him and have zero regrets or complaints. Already planning my third visit with him for a custom piece. The staff are friendly and all of the other artist are super skilled as well. Check em out!

    Edit: got a tattoo by Kailyn and it’s amazing as well! Great shop

    Just remembered I also have a flash tattoo from their newest(?) artist Ian from his time at another local shop. He did awesome as well and I’m glad he’s found a home at Unkindness!
