Bobby did an amazing job on my tattoo and I couldn't be happier with it. He is a talented artist and I look forward to getting more work done from him. Everyone at the shop seemed very friendly and chill, definetly will be recommending to others in the future.

Fantastic experience, walked in the door to a clean, professional, comfortable environment. Talked about my concepts and designs because I'm looking to do a few pieces then I looked through their gallery's. Talked to Bobby about my concepts he drew my design twice to make sure it was completely to my liking. The shading, line work, and time it took for my piece was amazing. I couldn't be happier I now have an amazing second tattoo. My friends got pieces at the same time as I did and we're all very happy with the turnout. Go check them out ASAP! Bobby is the man! I will be coming back soon for my next piece. Thank you Boardwalk Tattoos!

I just had a Majin Vegeta piece done by Bobby. He did an amazing job! Way beyond my expectations. I let him design the tattoo and he did not disappoint! It came out absolutely amazing! I would fully recommend the guys here! They were all amazing!

i got my chest pierced a couple weeks ago and was excepting a really nice experience because of all of the good reviews. there was a no friends/family allowed so i walked in alone, yet i saw other customers with a +1 which i think would’ve helped calm my nerves.
he started setting up his station so i asked about sanitation and he seemed a little put off from that. he began marking and getting me ready and although he was professional while i was undressed he hardly talked about the process.
i asked him about how he was using his hands and he briefly explained his technique and pretty much immediately began to pierce me without giving me much of a warning or time to take prepare myself.
the pain was horrible and i was caught off guard so i definitely flinched but tried my best to not move too much. during this i could feel the needle moving around while inside and it felt like it took forever to actually go through to the other side. i was expecting it to hurt but be able 1-2 seconds not 10. i was in a huge amount of pain and he simply told me it was fine and i was almost done and then again, pretty much immediately pierced me without much of a warning or time to prepare myself. i didn’t move nearly as much but the needle still took a good amount of time to go through and along with his standoffish demeanor it was kind of scary.
i was expecting a run down of the aftercare and he didn’t explain anything. he just asked if i knew what to do, gave me an aftercare sheet, told me to follow him on instagram for any questions i may have and sent me on my way. the whole session felt rushed.
i’m currently taking them out to be redone. they’ve been healing well but the first side he worked on is now bigger than the other side because he was moving the needle around before fully piercing me and i don’t want it to scar that way. as for the other side my piercings were not even. the second wasn’t at the same angle and was more shallow which was a concern. i know this is a painful area to pierce however i do think i could’ve had a much nicer and less painful experience compared to other reviews i’ve read. i also think he should have warned me that something may happen as a result of the needle moving around/piercing through so slowly.

Amazing shop! I go to Abel and he knocks it out of the park every time. Everyone is super friendly and they keep it very clean. Highly recommend this place!

I went into the shop and the experience was absolutely amazing. Very clean and the staff was very friendly. I spoke with Abel and he made me feel extremely comfortable considering I have yet to get a tattoo. He was very patient while discussing what I would like to have done. I can't wait to get my work done he is awesome!!!!

I have had previous work done by Abel so I knew there was no doubt that I would go back to him. I loved the shop! It was clean. It was professional but had a nice friendly, laid back atmosphere. I liked the carnival theme it had (minus that giant scorpion in the case that scared the life out of me...haha). My friend got a cover up done on her foot by Abel & she was beyond thrilled with it. All the staff were so nice. Most of all, I was so happy with my new tattoo that Abel did. It was more than I expected & the compliments I've received have been nothing short of disbelief at how good it is & the detail that was put in it. I give this place 5 stars plus another one!!

Abel did my tattoo, and I loved it. He took his time in every detail and never rushed. He had everything perfect and helped me with ideas I wanted. I went to skin deep before and I wish I came here first, but Abel was able to fix the tattoo and add more to it. Love this place and will come back if I want more, thank you so much Abel !!!

Sean did my tattoo. He was very professional. He sent me the artwork in a timely manner. When I wanted to make changes he did without any problems. He made sure I was happy with my tattoo. Place is in a good location. Will be returning soon.
