    I went to Dark Star for my first tattoo about a month ago. The experience was amazing. The first thing I noticed was how clean and sanitized the place is. I was really nervous and had a ton of questions for Sumer. She patiently answered everything thoroughly and we scheduled the session.

    A week later, I got my first tattoo and it was a great time! The vibe was chill, the music was great, and the tattoo is awesome.

    After we were done, Sumer gave me clear instructions on how to care for the tattoo for the following month.

    I'm going back in a couple weeks for my 2nd tattoo and already have ideas for more next year.

    Dark Star is awesome, Sumer...read full review

    This is my go to place for artistry! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the clean, inviting atmosphere and the super cool vibe of the shop. The staff at Dark Star are some of the friendliest, most professional people I’ve ever met. They took the time to listen to my ideas, offered creative suggestions, and we collaborated to make sure I was 100% comfortable with my design before we started.

    On top of amazing artistry, the entire team made my spouse and I feel welcome and at ease, whether we are getting inked or just chatting while waiting. Toney, Keaton, and Tibet are so engaging! Sumer the owner genuinely cares about her staff and each client...read full review

    PJ was amazing. We called Darkstar from 5 hours away while roadtripping on our honeymoon. We talked about a design and sent pictures and they made time for us later that afternoon. When we arrived, PJ had a few outlines drawn up and got right to it. He has an amazing hand, amazing stories, and amazing talent. We are even more in love with our wedding ink than we could have imagined. Thank you PJ, thank you Darkstar—until next time.
