Great vibe, great people. Loved the southern hospitality. High quality piercing and gave great advice for after care. Highly recommend.

Stopped in here with my wife to get a walk in tattoo. I had a simple traditional sparrow piece of flash i wanted on my hand. Jordan did a terrible job. Neither artist had a portfolio to look through which should have been a red flag. I have been getting tattoos for 20 years and am very disappointed. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS ESTABLISHMENT!

I cannot say enough good things about this tattoo and the tattoo experience. A small-town ND girl walks in off the street at 11 am with no appointment and asks for a petite, feminine fleur-de-lis as a souvenir for her trip to New Orleans. Akeem did a beautiful job. It was the most gentle tattoo I've ever gotten (this is number 11). It is 100% what I wanted. He was super kind, and the place was relaxed and clean. I knew I was in the right place when the gal at the front and I bonded over Little House on the Prairie being on TV. I knew it was where I needed to be. Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Akeem was great 👍🏻

We walked in looking to get very simple tattoos. My husband and I got matching ones and my step dad (64 years old) got his very first one! The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming even though we were clearly tourists. They were extremely clean and kind. Very reasonable prices for what we wanted, as well (Back at home we had gotten quoted 2x what we paid here). Would absolutely recommend based on our experience!

I spent almost 2 years trying to find the right artist to make my vision a reality and let me tell you this place knocked it out of the park. The owner is the absolute best, he took the time to sit down and listen to my vision and went to work bringing it to life. And let me tell you, he absolutely crushed it!! I will come across country for him to do my next one. The rest of the staff is awesome also.
