Aphotic Tattoo Studio & Artistry

10/10 experience. My tattoo was drawn up for me and it came out perfect. I asked for a skull with roses and chains incorporated, he absolutely nailed it. Coverups aren’t easy but he did a great job. The creativity of this piece is crazy. I couldn’t have found a better tattoo artist for this piece. Very reasonably priced and great energy all around. He really knocked it outta the park.

I'd recommend Aphotic Tattoo for anyone who wants great design and execution. The studio was clean and welcoming. Coleton is a professional and makes the whole process fun and enjoyable.

Incredible experience! Coleton has a unique artistic style, and his tattooing showcases his exceptionally clean line work enhanced by pointillism, which he sometimes uses as a modern alternative to shading. The shop itself is meticulously clean, and Coleton was happy to share with me the advancements in tattooing technology that aid in infection control and ergonomics for both the client and the artist. He also shared experiences from his 4 year apprenticeship that helped shape him into the tattoo artist he is today. I was confident that his rigorous training and natural talent more than qualified him to produce excellent results. I sat through a 7 hour session with no problems and am healing very nicely. I am beyond impressed with the steady-hand-precision used to place my tattoo and will definitely be getting another one at Aphotic!

Coleton is an awesome artist and standup dude! Ive been in twice now to him. Dont want to go anywhere else for some ink! Shop is nice, and clean. And has a very nice atmosphere. If your looking for someone look no further, you have found your guy! Cant wait to get back in his chair. (Sorry the 2nd pic is blurry, really hard to take a picture of ones forearm)

Coleton has a clean shop, plays great music, and I really enjoyed visiting with him. Best of all with the idea that I had he created an amazing tattoo that I will love forever! I appreciate his absolute professionalism. Can not wait for my next tattoo- thank you Coleton!

Colteon is super professional and talented! I love my new tattoo from him! Also, he knows some good music! I didn’t know what the sketch would look like going into the appointment, and he asked how I liked it or if I wanted it altered. But I loved the sketch and how he placed it on my arm. Definitely recommend this place for awesome tattoos!!!

I went in to get a tattoo of an octopus. I said that I wanted it as large as possible but did not want to go over $800. The artist was nice, professional, and the space was clean. My issue is that he charged me $800 and my tattoo is not finished and it would be $400-$500 dollars more to get it finished. He failed to see my side of things that he should not have made it that large and ignored my initial budget. "Good tattoos are not cheap, and cheap tattoos are not good." Is the response i received, which is not what I was arguing. He should have made it smaller as it was my first time going to him and did not know he would not be able to complete the tattoo in 8 hours.

Coleton is such a talented artist who created the perfect tattoo for me. He was so fun to talk to as well, very professional. The shop is clean and has such a cool atmosphere. 100% recommend!

Coleton took my vision and made it a beautiful reality. I am super pleases with my tattoo! I absolutely recommend him for all of your ink needs. He is an amazing artist on paper and on skin!

When first researching artists, I was a little leery of this place because of the perfect 5-star rating...sort of like it has to be too good to be true, but let me tell you, Coleton does phenomenal work and deserves the highest rating possible. He responded to my inquiry right away, which I greatly appreciated, and ended up doing a cover-up for me. The piece looks amazing and I am so happy with it. Clean shop and professional customer service skills. I will definitely be back in the future!
