Sovereign Arms Tattoo

I cannot put into words how happy I am with my new tattoo (but I'll try)! I had wanted a sea turtle tattoo for a while but couldn't get past the idea of a mandala-style sleeve (that I couldn't swing). When I met with Gareth, he sketched up a sea turtle with a mandala shell in about two minutes and it was exactly I wanted (I just hadn't known it!).

The tattoo process itself was seamless and comfortable. All of the paperwork and waivers were done on a tablet first, which I thought was kind of cool (and a lot quicker for someone like me, who has terrible handwriting). Once he got going, Gareth checked in several times to make sure I was doing okay. I was really impressed with him -- it seems like tattooing comes naturally to him and you can tell he's been at it for a while! The whole process was a lot quicker than I thought but I never felt rushed. He took care to make sure I was 100% happy with the design before we started, during the process, and again before we wrapped things up.

I honestly intended this tattoo to be my last one, but Gareth made me want to get more of his art. It's pretty clear he absolutely loves his work and is a pro at it. Can't wait to go back again!

Ryan Stout sketched up my piece from a few reference pictures and I'm in love!! He was knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. The studio was professional and clean. My friend recommended this studio to me and I am over the moon with how everything turned out.

My tattoo healed beautifully and I love it! Gareth explained every stop of the process to me thoroughly and made a change to my design without even an eye twitch.

Great work from Ryan Stout, he was a joy to work with and took great care in making sure I was happy with my tattoo (which I absolutely am, this is exactly what I was looking for).
I have been recommending Sovereign Arms and Ryan to everyone who is looking for a new tattoo and will definitely be returning again for any other ones I want

Top notch in every way. The atmosphere, cleanliness, and customer service are nothing short of excellent. I’ve been going to Gareth for over 5 years now and have several phenomenal pieces by him. Not only is he super knowledgeable about his craft but he pays amazing attention to detail and is always up for a creative challenge. I’ve brought so many ideas to him over the years and he is always down to introduce new designs and concepts to me to take my idea to the next level. I get stopped all the time by people to ask where I get my tattoos done and I love referring them to Sovereign Arms knowing that they are in great hands.

My sister and I wanted to get our daughters names tattooed on our arms and we called everywhere, but everyone was booked or way overpriced. My sister called Sovereign Arms and talked to Jeremy. He was able to get us in the next day because he stayed after they closed to do them. He was super nice and our tattoos turned out amazing! Highly recommend!

Went here specifically because I wanted a rose from Matt Pike, and he nailed it. That was a little over a year ago and I still get compliments on how good it looks. I can't wait to get another one soon. Thanks a ton guys.

Had a great experience with Gareth! I had been waiting for 4 years to make sure I really wanted this tattoo and Gareth made my idea come to life. The shop is clean, everyone is friendly, and everyone is professional. I will definitely be back for more work. Thank you!

I was a walk in for my first tattoo and was immediately greeted and helped as soon as I walked inside by these guys, who are such nice people. I came back two hours later after having thought it through one last time, and was so happy with how I was treated. Hunter did an amazing job talking me through it so I wasn’t worried, and the tattoo ended up looking incredible. I DEFINITELY recommend this place!

Can't say enough about this shop. Filled with great artists who obviously have a love for their work and always treat everyone with respect. I've worked with Matt for about 5 years and he is incredibly talented and so nice. Not to mention a beautiful shop!
