Today was my first time coming to Welcome Tattoo and I 10/10 recommend!! It's such a cool shop with beautiful art work all over, super cool flash to choose from and the artists are all so crazy talented!! I worked with Jorge today and it was a breeze. He is very personable and knowledgeable. I walked out with a beautiful black and gray dogwood flower piece, it is so beautiful and exactly what I wanted! Everyone I interacted with were very nice. I cant wait to come back! Thank you! 🤗

such great service!!! my friend and i went in during walk-in saturday and had a fantastic experience. Jorge was our artist and absolutely killed it. it was our first tattoo for both of us, and he made us feel very comfortable and walked us through each step of the process. he was personable and funny, but still professional. the tattoo came out perfect and even better than i had imagined!!! the shop itself is not your stereotypical dark and intimidating vibe, which i liked a lot. lots of natural light and a friendly environment. i truly don't have enough good things to say!! walk-in sign ups fill up quick, so i recommend getting there right at 10. we signed up at around 10:30 and were numbers 11 and 12 on the list, but were not called in until 3:15, to give you an idea.

Awesome squirrel tatoo by Martin Iwan. Amazing how easy and almost painless this tatoo was applied. Excellent artist and will be back fo another tatoo soon! Studio is open air and very relaxed. Highly recommend.

Welcome tattoo is the best. Everyone is so kind always- both artists and front desk. They love what they do and you can tell. I’ve been tattooed by Kohen and David, both amazing artists. I’m so happy with all of my tattoos and will continue to come back. Thanks guys!

Awesome staff really clean shop! Was my first tattoo and I felt like I was a regular. Communication was easy and set up my first appointment with Bryan via text. Explained what I wanted and a week later was super satisfied with the results! Couldn’t be happier. Will definitely be back for my next tattoo.
