John did an excellent job on my tattoo. Five hours in the chair was a breeze. Highly recommend John and Imperial tattoos!

Tim Gill is amazing! I highly recommend him, but you'll have to travel to Indiana now to get work done because he's opening his own shop. The staff is down to earth and has a great sense of humor. They are all highly talented.

Goose, John, is a true craftsman with his art. He is versatile in styles and can make any piece pop. Very practiced in his artwork. Not only is he a great artist, he is very professional, and always creates a comfortable environment for his clients. 12/10 highly recommend

My first tattoos! I did a lot of research and Imperial Tattoos is the shop I chose. And I chose Glenn Archer for my artist. He did an amazing job. Very patient helping me choose a font and the sizes. He is very helpful and easy to talk with. And the aftercare I received was also top notch! I am extremely pleased with my experience. Thanks Glenn and Imperial Tattoos. I give y’all FIVE STARS!

Glenn is the man! I got my first tattoo 14 years ago and have been wanting to add a second for quite a while now. I have zero artistic vision personally, so I gave him a couple of designs that I wanted him to mesh together with not a whole lot of space to work with. He meshed everything perfectly and what he was able to do with the design/outline/shading completely exceeded any expectations I had. Everyone is super nice in this shop also, Sean the owner was running out to get some snacks and even asked if he could get me anything. Zero complaints about my experience here.
