Got my first set of tattoos done here about 6.5 - 7 years ago. Amazing, family friendly environment from my first visit, and extremely impressed with the job that was done. Fast forward to present day (06/17/18) with no tattoos in between, the very same people still remember me, and welcomed me in with loving arms. They do such a good job that I sent a picture to my ex, and she asked me to marry her.

Great place! The staff is awesome! The owners lujan and Rudy are amazing people. I have been going there for 10 years and I have even promoted their business all up and down the east coast. I definitely recommend them and will continue to go there for as long as their open. They always make me feel welcome and treat me like family when I go in there. Awesome atmosphere and great people all around!

I came here for my first two tattoos. The artists were very kind and I love my first tattoo (it is just a quote). My second tattoo is a word with the same font as my first, and an airplane. I'm not going to pretend to know a whole lot about tattoos but what I was told when getting my second was that they could only make the airplane so small or it wouldn't look right. I told them that was fine and to make it as small as they could without it looking bad. After the tattoo had healed I noticed that the airplane looks more like a cross between a bird and an airplane and it is scarred very badly. I was told by my most recent tattoo artist this was because the needle that was used was the incorrect size. Like I said, I don't know much about tattoos so I don't want to throw the artist under the bus, but if they knew the design was too small and that it wouldn't work I don't understand why, after telling them to make it as big as needed, they would make it too small to tattoo nicely.
Other than that, the writing on both of my tattoos are pretty nice, for the price. Also, the artists were very very kind and the shop was clean.

This place is awesome!! Warpig did all 3 of my tattoos that day .Warpig made sure that I was completely satisfied with the size, location and look of my tattoo BEFORE starting it!! The music that he played created a dope vibe and he made sure that I was comfortable the entire time. He is officially my go- to tattoo guy.

I went to La Rude's to get 2 tattoos done. One was a large Spartan piece and I added to another. The customer service was great! Matt did both of my tattoos and priced them very reasonably. I am very pleased with his work and will be returning for more tattoos!

I received my tattoo from Scot and the whole experience was amazing. From being able to get my quote through text and Scot being able to personalize my tattoo exactly the way I wanted, I will definitely be back!

Chris Rodgers is great with kids. Don't take your kid to have a dull earring shot through their ear with a gun that's likely not been sanitized correctly. Take them here, ask for Chris and watch as he eases your loved one into their new piercings. He's great with kids. Very personable. Area is clean. Would recommend.

I went to LaRudes last night as a walk in and Jay created the tattoo I wanted right away for me! He did an amazing job, made me feel comfortable and exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be going back for more!

Chris Rogers I'd an amazing piercer, knowledgeable, helpful, and great at his job. I wouldn't go to anyone else.

Rudie did my first tattoo today and I loved it. They were very professional and kept conversation through the tattoo helping as a distraction. I hardly noticed him doing it. Will definitely be coming back and recommending people here.
