Literally the most thoughtfully designed space from top to bottom. Beautiful with lots of character. The whole place and the people are incredibly welcoming and exude a sense of calmness and openness. Best tattoo shop I've ever been to. Olivia is absolutely amazing! I'm a returning client of hers from her previous shop. Convenient parking lot behind the shop.

i've gotten 3 tattoos now with Olivia and I can't recommend her enough! She is precise, friendly, flexible, and very skilled! All three pieces were pretty different styles, and they all turned out exactly how I'd hoped. Very fair pricing for the level of skill.

I got a tattoo with Tammy and it was such a great experience, especially considering that it was my first tattoo. Tammy was kind and responsive during the booking process. When I got to the studio, she had a few different iterations of the design all ready to go. She was super open to any feedback that I had during the placement and stenciling process, and made it clear that she wanted me to be happy with how it looked. She reinforced that she would adjust it as many times as needed to make me happy with it. She also explained each step of the process in a detailed and clear way. The studio space was also beautiful: super clean but also super homey. It is a space that gets a lot of light and has a ton of plants. The space was also inclusive with nice touches throughout like a basket of free menstrual products in the bathroom. I highly recommend going here, especially to get a tattoo from Tammy, and especially if it's your first tattoo!!!

I’ve had four pieces done at Brilliance and absolutely love every single one of them. The shop is gorgeous and every single artist I have worked with has been amazing! Most recently, Amanda did a beautiful custom piece for me with sweet peas and peas - I absolutely love the colors and little details she pulled in. And I always get so many compliments on it! I cannot recommend Amanda and Brilliance enough!

I have been to Brilliance many times now and every single time I have an exceptional experience! I started going to Brilliance when one of my favorite tattoo artists of all time moved there (Dia, you are a gem!!!). Every piece I have from Dia I am completely obsessed with and I always have a wonderful time catching up with her when I get new work from her. The studio itself is extremely inclusive, the environment is lovely, and I always leave with a huge smile on my face. This year one of the other artists at Brilliance, Amanda, posted a very cool flash concept (papercraft inspired art pieces of nature) and I decided to branch out and book an appointment. I have gotten work from the same tattoo artists for the past ten years or so and was excited to get a piece from an artist who is new to me. Amanda ended up being AMAZING. Communication was crystal clear and I knew exactly what to expect from my appointment. We had a great conversation (and I even got some inspiration for my backyard garden/future pond!) and the tattoo came out beautifully. And it took under two hours! I will absolutely be returning for more work from Amanda and I’m so happy to have found another tattoo artist I am excited about!
