I had an amazing experience with Randal and love my tattoo. His clean line work, attention to detail, and artistic vision really stand out. He listened to what I wanted and made thoughtful suggestions that took the design to the next level. The process was professional and comfortable, and you can tell he truly cares about his work and clients. Highly recommend! This is my second tattoo with him now
I was referred to Hot Rod by a friend. The staff made me feel as though this is the best place to receive my first tattoo. Randall was wonderful to work with! His design was perfect and the tattoo is unique. He is creative and an artist. He is my preferred tattoo artist. Highly recommend Hot Rod Tattoo and Randall.
If you’re looking for someone to do your next anime tattoo, you need to see Elena! Her artwork is stunning and she will get you exactly what you’re looking for or even better! Elena is also very sweet and fun to work with. I highly recommend her for your next tattoo!
HotRod Tattoo is hands down amazing. I went in to get my Homer Simpson tattoo re-done with coloring, and Gene Heideman took incredible care of me from start to finish. The coloring came out awesome — clean, vibrant, and exactly what I was hoping for. When the tattoo started to hurt, Gene immediately offered numbing cream, which made the rest of the session way more enjoyable. Once we finished, he applied latex-free second skin, and that alone made the healing process so much easier and smoother. On top of that, Gene also pierced my daughter’s ears, and I can’t say enough about how patient and kind he was. She was scared at first and started crying, but once she saw her dad getting tattooed, she calmed down and felt comfortable. Now she’s already talking about coming back for her nose piercing — and she only wants HotRod Tattoo to do it. Professional, caring, and great vibes all around. Highly recommend HotRod Tattoo and Gene Heideman. 👌
I highly recommend HRT. Gene was great! He gave me a chance on a crazy head tattoo idea and brought my vision to life. He was mindful of time, cost, and balancing my expectations with what my skin could physically handle in longer sessions. The shop was very clean, well run, the staff was so nice, and Gene’s creativity and professionalism was second to none. You can tell by the vibe in this shop that everyone really cares about their craft and elevating each other. Couldn’t recommend enough.
