I just got another piece done by Gabe and I couldn't be happier. He is such a talented artist. The attention to detail and line work is absolutely incredible-it’s even better than I imagined. This tattoo had special meaning for my two boys and I literally cried when I saw the finished piece. The shop and other artists are super cool and such a dope vibe always! If you’re looking for someone who truly takes pride in their craft and has a great eye for design, this is the place to go. 11/10 recommendation!

Christine is AMAZING. What a talented artist and overall great human being. This was my 4th tattoo with her. No one else I'd rather be tattooed by. Her creativity and thoughtfulness she put into each one of my tattoos has never left me disappointed. I have both black and grey and full color done by her and she nailed each one. Highly recommend Christine McMullen!!!!

I got a video-game-inspired tattoo done by Madeline Brown and she did an amazing job. Her style looks so good and I am blown away by how it turned out! She was very fun to talk with and I would definitely get tattooed by her again. The space is pretty cool and has a chill atmosphere, too. The other artists seem very nice!

I have gotten every single one of my tattoos done by Madeline Brown (instagram: @shiver_beams). She’s a brilliant artist and can easily bring any vision you have to life! I live 4hrs away and make the trip time and time again to work with her! She has a distinct style that stands out. I get countless compliments on my tattoos all thanks to her! Every session I’ve had with her has been a delight. The latest project I’ve done with Madeline was my insane transcendent back piece. Despite it being a lengthy and an obviously painful process-Madeline ensured my comfort and was incredibly gentle-offering plenty of snack/water breaks and check ins. Madeline is easy to work with and a blast to talk to! Anyone who books with her is in good hands! The Crucible itself has a wonderful and cleanly atmosphere. Not to mention the wonderful art galleries that are curated there (which is always a treat to see)!

Visited the shop for their walk in Saturday, which happens on the second Saturday of the month. It’s a great opportunity to get with an artist for a small piece who might be booked out for a while. Extremely professional and clean shop what stood out the most was how welcoming the shop was. All of the artists were very kind and easy to work with. Taylor, the owner of the shop, did mine and my friend’s matching tattoos. He was absolutely fabulous. This shop has risen the bar for my expectations out of a tattoo shop. I will forever recommend the shop as well as any of the artists who work there. A phenomenal experience!
