The moment we walked in I felt comfortable, they were very welcoming. We were greeted by Adam, he joked with us and sent us to the artist who he felt fit the best, let me tell you he knows his stuff. So did our amazing artist, Santiago! The whole experience was really good and for the first time I felt calm getting a tattoo ❤️ Me and my husband got tattooed by Santiago. He was patient, funny, quick, and his line work is amazing! He was extremely nice and worked with us to figure out exactly what we wanted, how we wanted it!

Robin is amazing. Her line work is crisp, the shading is smooth, and the color saturation is incredible—you can really see it in the finished pieces. Every tattoo I’ve gotten from her has healed beautifully and looks even better over time. The world-famous Blue Horseshoe is always clean, professional, and comfortable. You can tell cleanliness and attention to detail are a top priority from start to finish. I’ll absolutely continue coming back to Robin and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier tattoo work in a spotless, professional shop.

SANTIAGO! You did an amazing job! Extremely clean, detailed and quick! Blue horseshoe has been reliable and the go to for all my tattoos over the last few years. World famous for a reason. Each tattoo comes with an after-care kit that has cream for protection and sanitization spray.

He was willing to work with my budget and time, and really prioritized making sure the piece came out well. He’s always available if I have any questions, but with this stunner on my arm im speechless!! thank you so much for having me on your table!! This entire location is very sweet and makes me super comfortable to be around. No worries here!!! Thanks for taking care of me :)
