The guys at UATC are true professionals. Their combined experience and friendly attitude make getting a tattoo there an awesome experience. I have gotten all my work done from them over the years and will continue to do so. They really do care about the work they do. I can say without any doubt, these guys will continue to grow as a business and as artists.
I absolutely recommend going to Union Ave Tattoo Company.

Had a bomb ass experience at union ave tattoo.Q himself did some awesome job. He took his time, and still finished in a reasonable time. He staid after he closed to finish my husband and two friends tattoos. Will definitely be coming back for other tattoo work. Thank you Q for helping us out.

I got my first tattoo here and itās āmehā. I was charged $100 for a very small outline tattoo, which seems overpriced to me. He didnāt even tell me how much it was going to be until he started. That was after I made a $60 non-refundable deposit for him to even do the sketch. Cash only. Iām honestly not happy with how the outline actually turned out, but thereās not much I can do it about it now.

Got my 1st tattoo here by DK. Awesome dude that does a great job. They give you what you ask for at a good price.
Friendly environment as soon as you walk in you feel welcomed. I will definitely be coming back to this shop soon.
Keep up the great work Union.

I wish I would have discovered this place sooner. Before I deployed I looked past this shop because of it's location. When I got back to the US my friend told me about a tattoo artist named Q and brought me in. Now I have this dragon sleeve that looks amazing! No wonder these guys don't pay for advertisement, they get their own reputation with the military community through word of mouth. I highly recommend getting a tattoo here. The atmosphere is great, I would go there just to hang out. These guys will keep you laughing as you get your piece done. My experience with Q was quick, he doesn't try to purposely prolong the process to get more money out of you. The pricing is fair, I am a very happy customer.

I got a tatto from the shop that didnāt come out the way it looks on the picture I brought in.Iāve been trying to get my tatto fixed by an artist(Brett) that works there and he has been blowing me off for weeks. He promised up and down that we could fix the tatto once it healed but never did and he never answers. It was an elephant piece that couldāve been a really good but the eyes are too far apart and one is bigger than the other. It makes the entire tatto look like garbage. Completely unprofessional and poor quality shop. I wouldnāt spend money there and I wonāt spend anymore money there. A good artist knows how to place tattoos.

Not even close to cheapest in town, but the work is great, price is fair, and they listen t good music everyday. Finally a shop that listens to modern hardcore music instead of ugly butt rock from the 70s. Attention tattoo artists, no one likes it but you, and we all hate you for it
