I have had the pleasure of being tattooed by Melanie and so have some of my family members. I own a plumbing shop here in town and really enjoy the way they conduct business. The entire staff makes you feel welcome. Five Stars!!!!!!

I love Icon Tattoo. Lucky is my tattoo artist. He is a awesome guy, easy to talk with, and does amazing work. Once my tattoo is complete I'll update with pictures.

Great quick walk in on a Sunday with Lucky. Small finger tattoos for a matching anniversary gift with my husband. Super polite, kind and made us both feel at ease.

Been going to Joakim for over a year and just couldn’t be happier as a customer. Alena (shop-owner) is really sweet and in general the shop feels really positive/welcoming. Super cool historic building too.

My son got a tattoo here for his birthday. The tattoo artist was so thorough. She really took the time to study the artwork and transfer the details onto the tattoo. His tattoo design has a lot of very fine, straight lines in it and she nailed it perfectly.

I emailed Lisa in December and we scheduled a consultation in mid January.
At the consultation, not only was she late, but she was quick to hear about my idea and didn't ask any clarifying questions. I asked her for the sketch, and she said that I could have the sketch the day of my tattoo. My tattoo was scheduled for mid March.
The day of my tattoo comes around, and she canceled on me 2 hours before via email. I asked to see the sketch, and she didn't respond. All of the rescheduling was on my end, we rescheduled for late March.
When I went in for try #2 , she was 20 minutes late. She came down and showed me the sketch, which is not what I asked for at all. I had asked for a robin, ranunculus flowers, and gingko tree leaves. The bird was not a robin, and when I pointed that out, she said it was a "baby robin". Not only did I not ask for a baby robin, but it wasn't a robin as it had an upturned tail, which robins do not have, even the babies. She was very rude and defensive, but still agreed to re-sketch. She disappeared for an hour upstairs (never did she draw anything in front of me, which is another fishy aspect of the whole thing). While the next sketch was much better, she told me she was going to wait on the tattooing, "because we were out of time" (we had at least 3 hours left of the appointment). So, we rescheduled for mid April.
Mid April comes around, and the day before my tattoo, she emails me to tell me she doesn't want to do my tattoo anymore because she wasn't excited about it.
So after 5 months, 1 consultation, 3 tattoo appointments and tons of disappointment later, nothing.

Had a great consult with Sean. Very friendly and professional. I'll update after I get my tattoo.
Oops forgot to update. It was great. I'm going back today. Icon is the best.

The shop is very clean, the artists are friendly and talented. I got to work with Lucky, and he was timely, kind, and listened to what I wanted done. I'll definitely return.

Very disappointed with the customer service, trying to schedule appts. I sent an email on March 9th, as they require..March 20 I still had not heard back, when their "auto response" says they will reply within 7 days. I emailed again...when I finally got a reply they did not address the original email, which had pictures and our preferred artists. We were open to any artist but that part of the email was looked past. The response, literally, said try to walk in... I, even, went to the place, to schedule appts, at the beginning of March, but was told it all has to be done via email. Such a disappointment and very frustrating situation, when this was the place my daughter wanted to go, for her 1st tattoo and 18th Bday.

I've seen a lot of tattoo shops in my days, and this one is clean, open, and welcoming! I look forward to working with this shop! They also take covid regulations seriously which is good to see!
