I first started going to Black Rose Tattoo and having Asa be my tattoo guy in I think 2020/ 2019. It's 2025 and I have a full sleeve completed and have started a pant leg as well. I have enjoyed each experience here. The artwork is phenomenal and the conversation is steady. Asa and I have found a bonding over chickens, gardening and music. Life doesn't need to be more complicated than that. I ask for a specific take on the traditional style and I receive it each time. That alone, gives me reason to recommend the shop. I am always getting compliments on the work I have had done and I am consistently telling people to check out this business.

I don’t recommend booking with Joey. No regards for the customer. He will ghost you on the day of your appointment. Hopefully he will at least return my deposit. Made me waste time and parking money for nothing.
