I got my first two tattoos here. One from my childhood friend Meagan who is currently a student, the other from my cousin Dylan. Definitely a 5+ star from the experience I have had. My first tattoo from Meagan was a design she drew up that my twin sister and I wanted. I got a small ocean and a moon, my sister the sun and mountains both on our ribs. She did a really good job with asking how we were doing and making sure we had a good experience knowing it was our first tattoos.
Dylan was the second who did my tattoo. This location above my right shoulder blade. I really wanted a butterfly, but I wasn't sure what else to add to detail. Knowing he's very amazing with geometrics, I asked if there was any way he could incorporate that into a tattoo. He did an outstanding job, and I'm definitely getting another one through him. I've gotten tons of compliments on it.
There are so many amazing artists with so much talent. I hope if anyone is looking for somewhere with a good experience, as well as a tattoo they love... Definitely go here!!

My first tattoo was done here by Dylan. He was great at explaining the process and did amazing shade work and line work on my fox tattoo. He paid extra attention to the little details and I'm very very happy with how it turned out.

This was my first visit to Necropolis Tattoo. It was clean, the staff were friendly, and I got a nice addition to my art collection. Nico, was welcoming, enthusiastic, and did a great job making sure I got the piece that worked best for me. Thanks!

Amazing experience! Nico is a wonderful artist, super patient and encouraging! Also my tattoo was extremely well priced, not too expensive at all. I 100% recommend this studio!!! I definitely plan on going back π

I have followed Markβs growth as an artist since well before he was licensed, and always knew I wanted him to create beautiful art for me. I saw one of his original watercolor paintings that he was offering as a tattoo design for the right client, and I immediately snatched it up.
My jellyfish is BEAUTIFUL. His color and line work are excellent, and his professionalism during the consultation, booking, and chair time were beyond reproach. I cannot wait to see more of his original work on my canvas.
Thank you, Mark. Your passion in your work shows in every piece you create.
A++++ from me!!

Ashley did this adorable little rose near my ankle for a valentine's day flash special and it healed so well! This is a little over a month healed. She was very sweet and had the most comfortable chair setup and environment. Will definitely come back!

Dylan was an amazing and understanding artist with my tattoo. Talking to him really made the time and pain go away. I got my tattoo during the pandemic, and they followed all the guidelines and the shop felt very safe.

I didn't get a tattoo here and that's the trouble.
Admittedly I was unsure about the style I wanted my full color mermaid tattoo in at first, maybe neo traditional, maybe realistic, but after some trial and error and direct communication Mark and I finally decided on a realistic 50s pinup style. But eventually Mark admitted that he could neither do this style nor do it within my budget.
So because Mark couldnβt do this style, not because I didnβt want a mermaid, I compromised and chose a second design to accommodate Markβs skills, a small and simple black and white typewriter. I gave him plenty of time, at least a month to prepare, during which I rarely heard from him and never got confirmation back. I contacted him several days and the day before my appointment and still didn't hear back. Confidence shaken, I decided to cancel and lose my $100 deposit.
What I found most problematic here was poor communication. I was unsure about the style of my mermaid tattoo because Iβm not an artist and I needed more guidance and direction from Mark. Had we discussed style more we would have figured out what I wanted sooner and then, as we discussed at one point, maybe I could have worked with another artist better suited to my project. I feel that I did a respectable amount of research beforehand as the customer and my needs were not being met by the experts.
Mark is a nice guy but this entire process and miscommunication has left me discouraged to start the tattoo process all over again.

I have received 6 tattoos from the tattoo shop and have received the best customer service. Mark has completed 4 of my tattoos and I have never been disappointed with the process or the outcome of my tattoo.
Mark is the only one I trust with my tattoos and will continue to have my work completed by him and the support of his shop.

I got my tattoo done back in May in 2016 by Mark. He did such a wonderful job on my Darth Vader tattoo on my neck. I get compliments on it almost daily! I love Marks style. Heβs so talented! Thanks Mark!
