Came in day after Christmas to get matching tattoos with my mom and sister. Pat did an incredible job and everyone loves the new ink. Inspired me to start building a sleeve! Chill environment, top notch artists.

Been working on a full traditional Japanese body suit over the last 4 years with this shop. Wouldn't trust anyone else to keep it 100% authentic. Some of my art was drawn directly on the skin. Drawn to fit. Sean B. is the man to see.

One of the Best Tattoo Shops Around! Tower Classic Tattooing is an incredible shop with an eclectic, vintage vibe that immediately sets the tone. The space is filled with classic flash and retro decor—it feels like you’re stepping into a piece of tattoo history. I got tattooed by Sean, the owner, and I couldn’t be happier. His American traditional work is bold and clean, and his Japanese traditional tattoos are just as impressive—super detailed and beautifully balanced. You can tell he’s a true professional who really knows his craft. The whole staff is friendly, welcoming, and chill. No ego, just good vibes and great tattoos. Whether it’s your first piece or you’re adding to your collection, this is the kind of place you want to keep coming back to. Highly recommend Tower Classic Tattooing—5 stars all the way!

From beginning to end, my tattoo was an absolute breeze. Everyone there was super kind and friendly, the atmosphere is really neat, and I loved the music. They even played some stuff that was very fitting for what I got tattooed, which made it more fun. I went in with way too many ideas/choice paralysis. I ran them all by Sean and he helped me pick a design and placement. He customized my idea to make a good fit for both of our styles. I am glad I trusted him with creative freedom. He and his crew made sure I was comfortable and taken care of the whole way through. They even gave me some Starburst when we started to make sure my blood sugar kept at a good level. I have quite a few tattoos and I've never been looked out for preemptively like that. On top of the experience itself, I'm totally in love with my tattoo. It is high quality work backed by decades of industry practice and continued passion. I highly recommend this shop!! Did I say I love my tattoo? 😉
