Relaxed environment. They do walk-ins, saving the whole day of Saturday for them. If you want a larger appointment you'll first need to set up a consultation appointment. Then if you want an art check before the tattoo you can set up that appointment up to two weeks ahead of the tattoo date

Daniel is awesome! His recommendations really gave the concept I wanted a good pop. Really excited to work with him on growing this piece. By the way, seriously listen to the artist if they have thoughts, reservations and/or suggestions because THEY DO TATTOOS FOR A LIVING NOT YOU. My husband got a cover-up done on his hand by Chad. You seriously can't even tell what he had underneath. Both tattoos were very reasonably priced. Definitely will keep going back for more.

Only been here three times and one was to finish up a half-sleeve that I had started several years ago, finish up a leg sleeve, and to start on another half-sleeve. I can't speak much on the expertise of the other guys in the shop but Chad is amazing with his work. From pictures that I have seen of the other guy's art, I'm surprised my tattoos have been as cheap as they have been because it all looks beyond amazing. Plus, they dedicate their Saturdays to just walk-ins which is amazing for a shop to do, so I definitely recommend them to anybody.

Was in town on vacation. Walked in and got a great tattoo. The person who helped me at the front was very nice and professional. My artist Gunnar was great. Would recommend this shop to anyone!

Absolutely love this place. They did a great job on the design of my tattoo and it looks great on me. They were patient and great to interact with. Previous works line the walls and made me feel confident that I was in the right place because of how amazing they were. I had Steve doing my tattoo and it was a very enjoyable experience. I am absolutely going here for my next tattoos.

Okay I know I'm probably wasting my breath here, but I'm just gonna speak my mind. I walked in with my own personal drawing, which I felt was well done and I thought it would make a great tattoo. Bob totally shot down my idea saying that it needed further translation before it could become a tattoo which is funny because after taking a look at his portfolio I noticed that he has a very reoccurring style! He even redrew my drawing, in literally the blink of an eye, which was impressive, bob-ifying it adding value and not really any attention to my particular design, in terms of the shape of things, sort of cartoonifying it. My design was supposed to be solid black, dark, and bold, totally unlike anything in his catalog. I understand that the way that his tattoos are done allows the tattoo a longer life, but it was a seriously limited style, and he pretended like simple shapes like EYES and HORNS could not be replicated because it "wouldnt make a great tattoo" overall demonstrating his poor attention to detail, a non-versality, and a fear to go beyond what he knows. Bottom line, go here if you want a cute and cuddly tattoo done via Bob. My tattoo was supposed to look hard and be sexy, but unfortunately Bob sent me out the door because he didn't want to change his style up! which is just lazy... Luckily Broken Lantern Tattoos was right down the street, where they displayed a much broader variety of styles, they freaking brought MY vision to life, and gave me exactly what I wanted, with 0 excuses on why they didn't want to, or couldn't do my tattoo, they're some hard workers. It's a no brainer.

First time getting a tattoo … I had no clue what to expect. I asked a lot of questions and the staff was very knowledgeable and help explained everything to help me understand the entire process. I was so excited! I had an amazing experience. I have already booked for my next one. I’ve always heard tattoos are addictive and now I understand. I am really glad I found this team of professionals. Thanks team and thanks Steve!!

Drove in from Charlotte for work, my guy down here was sick and had to cancel. I found this Gem and they had a 2 hr opening and got me in for the last 2 hrs of business. Steve absolutely did a fantastic job on a custom add on to a previous tattoo that I had. I will definitely be back when I make it down. Steve did an incredible job blending the 2 and on top of that hand drew it straight to my arm and then tatted it up. Great personality and an amazing talent!! The shop was so clean and very professional atmosphere. Great find and I really wish there were 10 stars I could give Steve and his studio!
