I had such a great experience at Stone the Crow. Steve did my tattoo over 4 sessions. Having an artist that is easy to talk to is important to me. Steve was very professional, yet easy to relate to. He made me feel comfortable each time and made the time pass quickly with great conversation. He is also a very talented artist. The colors he uses are vibrant. In fact, his ability to tattoo with vibrant color is the reason I chose him after having done research on other artists at other shops. Oh.. and I forgot to mention that my tattoo was a cover up. You can't even tell there used to be another tattoo there!
The shop is very clean. Everything is sanitized immediately after use. The ink is organic and safe. The atmosphere is inviting and laid back. What I really liked is that there is enjoyable music played throughout the shop, not blaring head banging or hard rap like I have heard at other shops, which always would set me on edge. I felt calm the entire time.
The artists have a good rapport with each other and they are always joking around with each other. That makes the environment feel friendly and open also.
There is a lot of really cool art on the walls to look at. There is even a pool table in the middle of the waiting area!
The front desk staff is friendly and professional too.
I recommend this shop to anyone looking to get a tattoo. All of the artists are good! I am just biased towards Steve because of the amazing job he did for me. My tattoo is below. Thank you , Steve!

Scheduled a simple memorial tattoo with Eric, he scheduled us quickly for 3 weeks after our design meeting. The place is pristine, very clean and people are friendly. Eric did a great job with our matching tattoo. We will definitely come back.

I decided a few months ago to get a tattoo of my wife's name on my inner bicep. This was my first tattoo and I'm extremely particular and detail oriented. I looked around for two months at various shops and tattoo artists instagram profiles to choose who I would go with.
I was recommended to Stone the Crow from a coworker and loved Livia's work. She was happy to meet with me before hand to go over exactly what I wanted. The day of my appointment, she readily made several adjustments to the design. She made the whole experience super chill and was incredibly pleasant to work with.
Aside from her being great at her customer service, her work was awesome. Her lines are unbelievably clean. The curved edges and lines are perfect. I was terrified that I would be left with something I was unahppy with when I first went into the process. She exceeded my expectations and I will absolutely go back to her if I decided to get more ink done in the future. I'd recommend the shop and Livia to anyone looking for an artist.

My daughter and I went to Stone Crow and saw Eric for small tattoos. We are beyond happy with our experience and can recommend without a doubt! 10 out of 10! Eric was extremely patient with both of us as we made adjustments to his/our designs. He is very calm and very professional. His work space extremely clean and it was a great experience from start to finish. Will def be heading back next time we need another! Thank you Eric!

I love Stone The Crow! The shop is beautiful (and very clean). I've had two tattoos done by Livia and I cannot recommend her enough. She is kind and incredibly talented. The best!!

Went in for a redo of a poorly done tattoo. Megan was super friendly and helpful (explained to me things I should have been told by the prior place before the original tattoo). Celide corrected my finger tattoo, explained how to care for it, and truly gave a personal experience of care. Steve (owner) oversaw it all and was well-informed, funny, and helpful.

Livia and entire staff was wonderful! Not my first tattoo, but first in the area. I found my place! Staff is quick to respond, place is clean and comfortable, Livia did an amazing job, very light touch, makes everything comfortable and wonderful job!

Although Christian has done several of my tattoos, and several of people in my family, I'm disappointed in his customer relations. For one, he gave me a tattoo that is not close to what I wanted. He charged me an extra $50 because he had trouble conceptualizing it, and then said he hated the tattoos he gave me before (which I personally loved). Negative energy, and I'm stuck with a tattoo that I need to get covered up by another artist when I find them. Furthermore, he was rude to my daughter when she reached out to him for a touchup. He told her that he "undercharged" for his work (he had quoted her a price, which she paid). He also then complained about the tips that he was given by our family (and lied, saying he was never tipped, which is not only untrue, but also very bad business.) He is obviously full of his ego, so beware.

My wife got her first ink ever done here and they were 100% on top of their game. This place is clean to an almost surgical level. Everyone is super friendly. Danny did a great job making my wife really comfortable for her first tattoo and his work is absolutely amazing.

STC is hands down the best place to get tattooed if you want a professional studio with absolutely stellar custom design artists and meticulous attention to detail during the entire process. Steve Labofish is highly skilled and extremely talented. He brought my Neo-Trad Japanese sleeve to life while exceeding my expectations every step of the way. Highly recommended!
