Unique Ink AK & Supplies

My experience here was ridiculous and awful. I came here for a relatively simple tattoo and was told it was far more complicated then it was. I was talked down to like this was my first tattoo with no previous knowledge of the process. I was told I would get the "best deal in town" and that the work here was superior. I chose this shop because of the stellar reviews, first mistake. After waiting an hour for them to do my paperwork, I was told my design wasn't possible and that the artist, Delaney, would do the best he could to recreate it. He ended up tracing some rubber bands around my arms and sketching something with a fat tip pen. The band lines were clearly crooked. After he traced the lines he said he needed a break and was gone for over 25 minutes. When he came back he seemed like he was high. I gave him the benefit of the doubt because he had good reviews.
He began tattooing and I realized it was a mistake. I have larger tattoos in more sensitive places than my arms so I knew what to expect. He used unnecessary force and went over the initial lines 5-6 times before he moved on. I asked him to stop several times and he ignored me. I also asked for an exact time estimate and was given ambiguous answers and unnecessary attitude. When he finished tattooing, 4 hours later, he said it was finished but it looked like a basic outline. There was no shading whatsoever and it looked nothing like we had talked about. On top of that, it was bleeding all over. Definitely not what you'd expect with a 4 hour tattoo.
He proceeded to wrap my arm in plastic and gave me no other aftercare instructions other than to keep it wrapped for the next 3 days or so. The tattoo was clearly crooked and nothing like the design I had asked for. When it was time to pay he tried to uncharge me after giving me the original quote.
A few hours later there was ink and blood dripping down my arm and seeping all around and through the plastic wrap. I took it off and cleaned it with antibacterial soap/lubriderm. The tattoo was hot and very inflamed. Ink still dripping here and there.
All I can say is proceed with caution at this shop. I do not recommend any of their services the artists and owner were sleazy at best.

For sure I'd go back to these guys. Great work, super nice, clean facility, decent price. He took his time to get all the details right, and it shows!

I went here for my first tattoo and i was skeptical because i didnt really know how it worked. I talked to delaney, he helped with my design and made the picture even better than what i showed. The atmoshpere in this place is so comfortable and calm, they play amazing music, they all have nice personalities. I was so umpressed that i literally got my 2nd tattoo the next day and the prices are affordable, they wont overcharge you so if you skeptical or not sure, trust me. Go here and dont forget to tip

XTina did my boyfriend and I’s matching koi fish tattoos. When I say she is AMAZING she is AMAZING. Super sweet and professional , she will make conversation with you which is awesome, I like when the artist talks to me during my session that way I feel more comfortable in the shop. She is open about pricing as well as what she can and cannot do. In no way shape or form did she make me feel like I didn’t know what was going on my body or unsure of anything as well as told me how to properly care for my tattoo. Very open with you.

The shop:
Clean, professional, welcoming

Roberto and Rick stayed late to let my family get tattoos. They made us feel incredibly welcome. Roberto paid extra attention to my tattoo to make my first experience excellent. I would highly recommend this shop, and plan on coming back.

I got my first white tattoo today and I am so in love with it! The owner/artist squeezed in both me and my sister this morning and we couldn't be happier. The text turned out so beautiful and feminine. I would defiantly recommend him to a friend.

I've been getting tattoos for years. It's always a challenge to find a reliable artist and shop that you can count on. Roberto has some of the best talent in the game. He's done a couple black a grey pieces for me, with flawless linework and shading. He's definitely my go-to artist now. I'd recommend this place to anyone

Gone there for everyone of my tattoos so far and I have always been satisfied with the end result. I also had my tattoo fade a little bit and came back and Roberto touched it up for me no problem I have been in Alaska for 3 years and have talked to a lot of Tattoo shops and Roberto has the best prices hands down!! Wish i didnt have to leave or i would finish up my leg and my other arm but hey who knows i might just fly back to get some more ink.

Roberto is such an amazing and experienced artist!! My husband and I live in the valley, but make the commute to specifically see him and get his work!! He works with you with what you want, the environment is amazing and relaxing, and everyone we go and get work done, the experience is wonderful. I would recommend him 100% of the time!

I went to Unique Ink, looking for tattoo filler and AK tattoo. The owner Roberto quickly saw that I had an old tattoo in need of repair. He went too work recreating the piece, an reviving the tattoo into the piece it was supposed to be. The staff are helpful, fun and attentive. Roberto is a master of shading, details, and tattoo art!
