Walk in with no appointment, super fast and decent work. Staff were personable. Some pretty heavy overshading that I will have to get fixed, but i will excuse as maybe i flinched getting it done in a painful spot. I had a very odd skin reaction unlike anything else Iβve had when getting a tattoo, Iβm assuming whatever their tattoo artist was using on her gloves/machine/person- i had been breaking out in severe acne around the tattoo where her arm was rested on me for about a week. Happy with what I walked out with, regardless of needing to be touched up, but would advise to clean extra well if you are tattooed here. Super impressed with the speed, however.
Edit in response to your reply, holy cow. How rude. If it was me, would it not be everywhere on my back, and not just where the artist was resting on me? I cannot believe that is the response you deem appropriate. Absolutely childish. Perhaps I had a reaction to her lotion. As simple as that- still relevant in a review.
For those reading, I had given them 3 stars, but promptly changed that after this response. Come here if you like being tattooed by artists and shop owners who behave like actual children. Ridiculous.

My girlfriend and I went in as walks ins and they got us in right away (obviously if there was a wait that would have been no problem!) but Skyler did both of ours and they both turned out so great, neither of them took super long and they were nicely priced, we both love them! Highly recommend!

Went to multiple other shops around town and none were comfortable tattooing me on the ribs for my first tattoo⦠Not only did Sabrina, one of the artist do an amazing job, but did it swift and effectively as well. Would definitely recommend for anyone who wants to get a tattoo!

Did a walk-in two weeks ago with Chris. It was my first tattoo and I was really nervous, but he was very understanding and supportive. I would definitely recommend Mercy Seat. The pictures are two weeks of difference.

Fantastic experience. I had a couple reference pics. One very rough and punk; the other very realistic and soulless. I needed an artist to create a finished product that tied the two together. Kevin exceeded my expectations. I love the art on my arm but really appreciated the laid back atmosphere and easy going approach of everyone there. And, no small feat since I was tattooed on my inner bicep, the area isn't over worked, painful, or inflamed. Kevin has a deft touch while pulling great lines and smooth shading.

All but one of my tattoos is from mercy seat. It's an awesome place with artists that have a true talent. Jason Pollard is my go to guy there. It's a relaxed and therapeutic place in my opinion. They all genuinely care about the people they work on. The family air is surprising. Even though the other artists aren't they ones doing your tattoo they've got a true interest in you as a person. I love it there. These are the most recent tattoos. Thank you Mercy Seat and thank you Jason.

Scott is a phenom artist. I wanted some Sailor Jerry ink and he nailed it. I'll be a repeat customer for sure. Great tattoo shop. Great artists. Highly recommend. I scheduled another tattoo already. High props. High quality...Ive been to the shop three times in two months and have more ink scheduled next month. These guys are fantastic. Five stars.

All of the individuals at Mercy Seat are awesome and friendly, I always feel at home once I walk in the door. Scott is an exceptional artist and is incredibly dedicated to his craft and ensuring his clients love the piece of artwork they leave with. I have two thought pieces, a pirate pinup, a small traditional tattoo from their ACLU fundraiser and a full back piece we are currently in the process of working on. Iβve always come to scott with a mere idea and he comes back with a beautiful piece that fits the space and is better than I couldβve ever imagined. Truly a great experience every time and Iβve spent countless hours in there (I tried keeping track but have lost count)!!!

Loved working with Sabrina - she did an excellent job and was super friendly and down to earth. Will be back!!! Edit: went back twice more to see her, she did not disappoint. I 100% recommend working with her.

I came in today as a walk-in right when they opened. I was excited that an artist was ready and willing to do this lil piece for me (winnie the pooh). Skyler McClun was super nice, listened to my ideas, and made me feel comfortable. He was also open to talk about my next tattoo idea which I will definitely be coming back to him for.
I've gotten 3 tattoos here now and I've never had a bad experience. My tattoos have healed beautifully and I will continue coming back for years to come.
