The shop is open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 6pm, and closed on Sundays. They offer a range of tattoo styles and designs, and their artists are skilled at creating custom pieces to suit your individual tastes and preferences.

Tom has done black and shading work on my father and me, and has done a color tattoo for my mom. His work is amazing and I am a return customer. He took our ideas and made them even better than we could have imagined. He's also pretty great to talk with, too! I highly recommend him!

Tom is an excellent artist, He works with you to give you the best tattoo he can. Excellent work he will tell you the truth no lies no BS and very straight up with you. I have gotten all my tattoos from Tom and refuse to go to anyone else. Iβm from Grand Junction and moved to Texas I still travel the 14 hours to go to Tom. Looking forward to finishing my sleeve after the first of the year.

I have been going to Tom for 15years and I have had him do all my work. I would not go anywhere else. My whole family has been there along with other adopted kids. He has done original work and a cover up for me. His work is exceptional and he is true professional. He has a clean shop, exceeds professional standards and is always there to help you. If all tattoo artists were like him we would not have the issues that are out there. I will be going to see him very soon. Thanks Tom!

Tom does amazing work! I love that he is old school he free hand drew both mine and my husband's work. I went in with a image in my head told him what i wanted and it came out even more beautiful than i could imagine! I get compliments on it all the time. Not only is his work amazing he is very professional and super CLEAN!! Which in my oppinon is the most important part! I cant wait to get back to Colorado to have another work of art from Tom!

Tom has done not only my tattoo, but my mom's, dads, and countless family & friends tattoos as well. He has always been professional, honest, fair, polite, and friendly. He will do all of my future tattoos until he retires. Highly recommend!

Tom is amazing. I got a tattoo from him back in 2005, and it is still awesome. He did exactly what I wanted (and changed it up for the better from what I originally envisioned). It was my first tattoo, and the experience was great. Tom had a big, biker friend hanging out when he tattooed me. The big guy was a little skeeved out by the fact that I was getting the tattoo across the top of my foot. It was hilarious watching his face! I am looking forward to getting tattooed by Tom again.

I have been getting tattoos from Tom for years. Unlike other shops, I feel comfortable and respected as a human. For example, Tom didn't make me take my entire shirt off for a tattoo on the shoulder blade like other shops have in the past. The environment is extremely clean and the atmosphere is inviting. I've been incredibly pleased with all of the custom pieces Tom has done for me. However, if you're looking for a cookie-cutter cliche tatt, Tom isn't the artist for you. I would describe his style as traditional and unique. Each piece I've had done has been hand drawn and based on the ideas Tom and I come up with. I haven't gone to a different artist since 2010.

I went to Tom to have him do s cover up of a tattoo that I got that was horrible. I probably could have done better than the original tattoo that I got. The sad thing is it was matching tattoos that my son and I had done.
My son still has his but I had Tom do a cover up on mine and I love it! I get so many compliments on it and people are always asking me where I got it.
If you want a great tattoo go see Tom! He is the best in town.

I called Tom after searching for a local artist who had impeccable reviews. When I arrived at his shop, Tom greeted me as if he had known me for a while, and I instantly felt welcomed. He used the image that I sent him to draw and design an even more appropriate piece of art for my body. Until visiting Tom, I had never met anyone who cared about the reason behind one of my tattoos. He asked thoughtful questions and encouraged me to give him my opinion throughout every stage of the process. He included me in the drawing/designing process, and it took roughly 2.5 hours...including ink time. His prices are incredibly reasonable in an age where tattoo shops charge anywhere from $60-$120 an hour to regurgitate someone elseβs work. I highly recommend him, and I will be back!!!

Tom does the best work in the valley. Any idea you bring him, he will work up an original work of art. Several years ago, my coworkers decided they wanted tattooed, and Tom shut down his shop and spent the day working on just us. We did it again the next year, called it Tattoofest! These were ALL DAY sessions. Tom worked at least 12 hours making sure we were all taken care of. Tom is the best!
