Went in and Fawn said she could do my rework. She had no game plan nothing. Hawk came over to talk and was kinda rude. I stupidly paid for the rest of the work and then no reminders nothing. So I should probably go in and ask for my money back because the work she did was garbage.

I went to get my tattoo on April 5th, 2021. Making the appointment and getting the tattoo was a smooth and easy process. I was overall impressed with my visit. It wasn’t until the tattoo fully healed that I started having issues. My tattoo artist (Sam) told me she was going to thicken a line on the tattoo and it’s way thicker than the rest of the lines. There are multiple spots on the tattoo that are like this. I didn’t mind too much, I just thought I would back and get it touched up. When I called they said they could do it and that they’d call me back with availability. This was in August, and I never received a call back. I called again about a week ago and they told me they’d call me back and didn’t. They haven’t followed up with me and whoever answered the phone seemed irritated and wasn’t super helpful both times I called.

I came to hawks for a cover up and a commemorative traditional tattoo for my nephew that was killed. Andria did my tattoos and did an amazing job! I tried to leave a lot of the art up to her and she killed it in every way! I had a couple weird asks and she hit everything exactly how I wanted! And not only that I feel the price I paid was more than fair for the awesome art I received! Will be back for more.

Best tattoo place ever. My mom and I went in for a tattoo and came out with the best tattoo I have ever seen. Sam is an amazing tattoo artist. She is sweet and great at what she does. Please come here for tattoos. What a great place. Everyone is so nice. Prices are great also.

Best experience going to a shop to get anything done. The people are extremely nice and always try to make you feel comfortable with them before doing anything. 10/10 would recommend.

Shop does not use body-grade jewelry… Got two piercings done here, I was told by the piercer that the jewelry was titanium. I have a nickel allergy. The jewelry was NOT nickel-free, the piercings were inflamed and weeping for 3 months. I finally switched them to glass retainers - all issues resolved. You get what you pay for.

This place is the bomb. While I can only speak from my personal experience, and by extension, the quality may vary depending on what you get.
That said, I would trust these folks with anything I wanted inked. Friendly staff, the perfect combination of playful and professional. I was so pleased I immediately made another appointment for some other work.
Sorry for the novel-- I'm just enthusiastic about this place and the people who work there. 12/10 would (and am) go again.
