Prohibition Ink Custom Tattoo

My visit to prohibition ink was not for the services they provide! I work at a bridal shop and they kindly let us use the stunning shop for a photo shoot!!! Darlene and JJ (the owners) are the sweetest people who were always willing to help us! The decor is unlike any other! I was also able to go around to all the artists station and take in their amazing work! I loved it all that I instantly grabbed all the business cards to show my boyfriend who is constantly getting tattoos! When I am ready for a tattoo I definitely know where I am going!!!!!

I can’t say enough great things about Prohibition Ink. I’ve had multiple tattoos completed there over the years and the staff is outstanding to work with. JJ is exceptionally talented and efficient. I constantly get compliments on the work he’s done for me, which includes roughly 50 hours worth of work (including a coverup). The shop is beautiful and very inviting. For the best art, style, and technical acuity, there no where better than Prohibition Ink.

I know everyone expects all their tattoo experiences to be life-changing but this one actually was. Thank you JJ & Darlene for fitting me in during my time in Utah, for the incredible artwork and the wonderful atmosphere of safety, professionalism, collaboration, and of course legit art vibes in the shop space :) Looking forward to being part of the Prohibition family for years to come.

My husband got his first tattoo here from apprentice Rat. We were a walk in that they very kindly accommodated. Rat helped design a beautiful tattoo to my husband's specifications and talked us through the whole process.

Reasons why we chose here over other parlors:
- Excellent ratings compared to other parlors (seriously, go look at the statistical distribution, I'll wait)
- Their website has the best, clearest, most detailed instructions of any I found for what to expect and how to care for your tattoo after. They also gave us additional instructions while we were there.

Glad we chose here. :)

I had a cover up with Geoffrey and I was blown away by how great of an experience I had. During my appointment he took his time to make sure that the size was right to cover the previous tattoo. We had great conversation for the few hours of tattooing. After everything was all finished up he walked me through the after care and sent me on my way with a beautiful new tattoo.

Positives and negatives can be said about my experience at Prohibition Ink. I did a lot of research and JJ had an impressive body of work. He had done a few geometric tattoos and they looked fine and all his other art was so amazing, I reasoned that it would work out.

I asked for something similar to the butterfly tattoo but with an owl. I wanted some delicate sacred geometry behind it. He didn't show me the geometry design till I was at the shop ready to get tattooed. It was much blockier and heavier than what I had originally intended, but I thought the darkness of the geometry might help offset the owl and make it stand out more.

The tattoo experience itself was good, he was a good conversationalist and we chatted the whole 3 hours. I did find him pretty cocky, but a nice guy overall. Once he was done, I still wasn't crazy about the dark behind the owl, but figured I'd grow to like it over time.

It wasn't until I took off the wrap and really looked at it that I realized that the geometry is very sloppily done. He said that he used a single needle instead of a shading needle, for the texture it would give it. It gave it texture, but looks like it was colored in with a ballpoint pen. It's very patchy and the geometry design itself is completely warped and not at all precise and clean.

At the time he said I could contact a few months after for a touch up, but I'm going to another artist, who specializes in geometric designs, to see if she can clean it up and add to the design to make it better. I'm happy with the owl, but not with the geometry at all.

I LOVED the atmosphere at Prohibition Ink. The staff was beyond nice and make it a very fun and relaxing first tattoo experience. Everything was very clean, organized, and well run. I will definitely be cashing in my birthday ink money. Thanks JJ and staff!

I had a wonderful experience with JJ and Darlene - they really care for the "whole person" before, during, and after the tattoo. The actual tattoo was more beautiful than anything I had designed or researched. Their shop is beautifully decorated and clean. JJ and Darlene are genuine, warm and took the time and care to answer answer all of my questions I highly recommend Prohibition Ink for a place to come away with a piece of unique, fine art and an overall fabulous experience.

Christine is the absolutely the best! 13 hours of tattooing over two days and was on point the entire time! She covered a tattoo I’ve had and hated since 1996 with an original piece she created, and added 12 other traditional tatts, some originals and a few killer old school tatts that are freakn sick! Totally stoked! Thanks Christine!!!

I had a tattoo done by Maddie last night and she was absolutely fantastic. Super professional, place was beautiful and spotless. She made sure the tattoo was perfectly placed on where I wanted it ( butterfly on the left inside wrist). She explained the aftercare when the tattoo was done and also asked if she could check it in a few weeks to make sure it looked perfect as well. I would definitely make a point to come back here for another tattoo.
Thank you Maddie
