I cannot say enough good things about this place. Not only did I visit Tampa on a girls trip with…read morethe purpose of a great time but doing some searching I came across this tattoo shop and sent a message to Cesar on Instagram. Not only was he informative, personable and helpful but he helped me to figure out EXACTLY what I wanted. He answered every single question I had, showed me as many options as I wanted to see and was very responsive. Once we visited the shop, I was amazed at the decor and how clean and professionally everything was set up. Cesar made me feel very comfortable (he could sense my nerves!) and I was in and out in half an hour! Not only did we joke around but I was able to listen to whatever music I wanted to and it almost felt like I was with family. The cherry on top of the cake was that three days after my tattoo, he reached out to me to find out how it was healing. Definitely see Cesar for all your tattoo needs. I cannot recommend him enough!

Go see Cesar now, you won't regret it. The shop is beautiful and clean and his work is amazing…read more I've been to a lot of shops and without a doubt this is my fav, highly recommend!

My aunt found Mad Beach Ink on Yelp for me & my cousins to get our tattoos before we left town. We…read morewere able to meet the owner Dani who is FANTASTIC! He welcomed us in, no appointment needed, took our design, asked us to give him some time and got to work. When we came back he got us checked in and started working on getting our stencils just right. He helped us understand why certain things needed to stay a certain size & helped up feel secure in what we were getting. Once we got ready to get started he asked what we wanted to listen to, cranked the music to the perfect volume & started working. All 3 of us came for one tattoo a piece. It was one of my cousin's first tattoo so of course she had to go first. He got her in and out in about 15-20 minutes tops for setup to cleaning for the next person. I was next then my other cousin went. We were so happy with the quality of work, price and speed of his work my last cousin & I decided to get more tattoos. In total we ended up getting 6 tattoos between the 3 of us. Going to Mad Beach Ink didn't end up being just somewhere to go get tattoos while we were in town. Dani created a whole experience for us and other customers as well. We learned about some good local spots and he even told us about the Amish ice cream shop a couple storefronts down (I went & it's amazing). Dani is a great business owner, truly cares about his quality of work and making sure that he's giving his customers the best that he has to offer. He even checked to make sure my cousin made his flight on time. Wish I was coming back sooner just to get some more work done, but if we're ever in the area again WE WILL BE BACK! We truly appreciate you making our cousin tattoos special Dani. Thank you.

The vibe of the tattoo shop is really cool and it's nice that they don't do walk ins, as it makes the place less stuffy and crowded. Just keep in mind that you will have to reach out to the artists individually to make an appointment! The price was also very fair for the size/quality of the work and I will definitely come back to August for my next piece!

For my 70th birthday, I decided I would, finally, get that tattoo I was going to get for 5 decades…read more Fiends recommended Ciara at Metamorphosis Ink and I am ecstatic with the results. Ciara took my rough sketch and my vision and turned it into a work of art. Throughout the process she was concerned with my comfort. She kept me constantly informed and asked my opinion when she was debating subtle details. She understood the importance of the pice and gave it 100% of her talent. This was going to be a "one and done" tattoo but it was such a positive experience with amazing results that I am strongly considering my next piece of art. The shop is spotlessly clean and has a great vibe. If you're considering ink, you owe it to yourself to check this place out.

I asked for a refund because we don't live in Florida so we can't come back in. They said no. So they took our money and we got basically nothing.

The entire experience was flawless. The artist Explained every step of the process, the shop was very clean, and the receptionist was so helpful. It was an excellent first experience. I also appreciated that the artist asked a ton of questions about why I was getting a tattoo and the reasons behind it, to ensure I was doing the right thing. I won't be getting another tattoo, so I won't be back! But highly recommend this place

He walked us through the process and was very patient and accommodating, helping us with size recommendation and placement, changes to placement if we wanted to see it at a different angle, etc. and then he went to work and it was a breeze! The manager and assistant manager and head of HR wasn't present (I am suspicious that it's all the same guy) but at least there were pictures of him...even in the restroom (iykyk). Just to say I loved all the fun signage in the shop. Thank you again, Andy, for your help and awesome work! There's a reason this shop has 4.9 stars with over 1100 reviews on google (which is how we found them!) 100/10 recommend!

There's plenty of parking around the area. The shop is awesome.

While I was living out of state, i tried to find an artist comparable to her work but I never did. I actually made the drive down to Florida once just to see her. She is also a genuinely amazing person. Super sweet and good energy. I love her personality and talent. I'm super excited to continue my sleeve with her! I've met the owner on 2 of my visits, and he is just as awesome. They've done an amazing job with the shop. It looks so fancy, and has a very clean and sleek vibe to it. The chairs are super comfortable, and the artwork around the shop is super neat. Definitely check out 1776! Thanks so much, Steph!

He was able to capture the softness I was hoping for and didn't try to steer me into something bigger or more elaborate as other artists have done in the past. I love that they are a custom shop and that even though this tattoo is basic, it still felt unique enough. He is true artist and clearly enjoys what he does. I was prepared for pain, especially at the lateral malleolus/ankle bone, but he was so gentle that it barely hurt. I also got a piercing and he was just as friendly and professional for that. Prices were decent and quality is on point. 100% recommended and I will DEFINITELY be back to see him for my next work.
