Taylor has done a phenomenal job on my sleeve! I gave her a few ideas of things I wanted to get tattooed on me and she has given great input on placements. On top of that her artwork blows me away every time! Always ends up better than I imagined it. I can't wait to continue working with her on some other pieces and plan on going to her for all of my tats!
I got my first tattoo here and I loved it. Everyone there was very nice, and the atmosphere there was awesome. Their website made booking a session and artist really easy which was really nice. My artist was Andy Gutierrez Varela, and they were incredible. I sent a reference photo that wasn't their usual style and the design they came up with was amazing. I'll be coming back for my next one.
Absolutely no complaints. Cat was my artist and she did PHENOMENAL work. I gave her a picture of something I wanted and she made a version even better than what I imagined. She worked with me to tweak it exactly how I wanted with enthusiasm. Our mutual interest in a book series made this appointment even more fun and special, getting to discuss the story behind what I was getting tattoo’d! I also loved that she still took the time to explain the aftercare process to me even though she knows I have tattoos, because I’ve had several artists in the past just completely skip that part! With different products/tattoos, aftercare may look different! Cannot recommend Cat enough, will definitely be back!
I recently came to Alchemy for my first tattoo ever and I cannot recommend the experience enough. I was drawn to Alchemy for its inclusive and friendly attitude and atmosphere and my experience completely lived up to that initial impression. I was paired with Lacey who is one of the friendliest people ever. She walked me through every aspect of the tattooing process from placement to stenciling to aftercare. She answered every question I came up with and gave me advice that I didn't even think to ask about. The price was very reasonable, especially for the service provided. I highly recommend Alchemy!!
Recently worked with Lacey on a fun Nintendo-themed tattoo! She was so amazing to work with - she was kind, made me feel comfortable and happy and did such an amazing job. I can't wait to go back and work with her again!
