While on vacation in Myrtle Beach, I decided to get a tattoo toward the end of the trip. After finding Aces High Tattoo, I checked out each of the artists' portfolios and immediately knew this shop was my top pick. I went in as a walk-in and was met by the friendliest, coolest staff and the vibe was immaculate. Jake had availability for my tattoo, and he was incredible from start to finish. I couldn't find exact reference photos for the tattoo I had in mind, so I came in with a collection of tattoos saved on my phone that highlighted different concepts, line work, and details I liked. Jake genuinely seemed excited about the idea and took the time to go through every detail with me as we talked through how to bring the piece to life. He then drew up a design that captured exactly what I had envisioned. Once the stencil was ready, he was just as meticulous about placement as he was about the design itself. During the tattoo, you could tell how focused he was on making every detail perfect. Such a talented artist and genuinely great dude. I would absolutely recommend Aces High Tattoo to anyone looking for a tattoo in Myrtle Beach! read more

I would highly recommend Aces High Tattoo. We stopped by while on vacation and they were able to fit us in that very evening. The front desk staff and tattoo artists were friendly and professional.

Everyone was very nice, helpful and knowledgeable. Jake did the tattoo and the outcome was excellent!

My husband and I came to Myrtle Beach on vacation years ago and decided to get tattooed. I called around and Aces High was so nice on the phone. We went to the shop to check it out and it was so clean and everyone was very nice. We have since moved to MBeach and have been back twice since our first tattoos. Each time we had a different artist, but each has been equally professional and comfortable to talk to. Our latest tattoo was done by Jeff. We are so happy with the work he did. The price was very good and he was so professional. We highly recommend Aces High on Seaboard Street! read more

This place was amazing!! I stopped by to just check things out. They opened at 12. The lady at the desk was slammed all at once. She handles it like a Boss Lady!! Some were getting family tattoos, 2 groups, then there were me and another single. And we all were in and out within probably an hour and a half. The guy who done mine was quick and efficient. Very personal able. His name was Chris. He was awesome!! We talked the whole time he did tattooed me. The pricing was very reasonable. read more

I wish I could give zero stars. We went in with drawings and full descriptions of what we wanted. We were told no problem and gave a $300 deposit ($100 per person) when we went in the next day for our appointment we were told they couldn't do what we wanted. The "artist" Brian drew a quick new version that was nothing like what we wanted. When we asked for some small changes he gave us a nasty attitude and basically yelled at us and stormed off to do another drawing. We were told to get what they drew for us eventhough it was not at all what we wanted and proceeded to treat us with disdain for not just accepting a drawing we didn't like. They also kept out $300 eventhough they said they could do what we wanted when we have the deposit and apparently they can only do one thing and are too rude and careless to spend any time on the individual or the art Absolute WORST experience. read more

The staff at Aces High was amazing. They were friendly, informative, talented and great at calming my anxiety. I was so happy to share some interests and background with my artist so that really helped keep me calm. I would definitely go back! They give up-front / no haggle pricing that you can accept or not. I prefer that and appreciate that they reward the artists time and their talent. Everything was sterile and my artist (Brian) had a medical background. I recommend this establishment! read more

OH MY WORD! The best place in MB to get tattooed. We were on a bachelorette trip and decided last minute to get tattooed, we walked in and they were able to get all SEVEN of us happily tattooed.

My mom and sister and I decided to get tattoos while in town. Brock was extremely patient with us as we tried to figure out what to get. He explained everything and was fun to talk to while getting the tattoo. Everything was clean and professional. $100 cash deposit to reserve your time but it goes towards your tat. $100 min tattoo. All three of us took three hours. There are tattoo shops up and down this street. We are so happy with the one we picked. We highly recommend Brock and Acea High read more

I wanted to get my first tattoo while on vacation at Myrtle Beach. All of the piercing and tattoo parlors are in a strip mall all together. I made an appointment at Aces High Tattoo based on the reviews and ratings on Yelp. Staff were nice and helpful. My tattoo artist, Brock, gave me exactly what I wanted and even helped me with the location of it so that it won't fade as much over time. I was in and out of the tattoo parlor in less than an hour, which was pleasantly surprising to me. It has been a few weeks and I love my tattoo. I'll definitely be back if I ever want to get vacation ink again! read more

My friend and I were on vacation and decided to get matching tattoos while in Myrtle Beach. The staff at Aces High was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We were lucky enough to have Adia do our tattoos and we both love them. I will definitely go to her the next time I'm in town. She is excellent! read more

I couldn't have been happier with this place. We came in right as they opened and everyone from the artists to the girl at the front were so welcoming and friendly. There were five of us with no appointment and they got us in right away. Made sure we were getting exactly the pieces we wanted and walked us through each step from the drawing to the aftercare. I highly recommend Jeff, he did my simplistic Saturn tattoo (pictured) and the best part was that he showed me that all of the equipment was brand new and sanitary as well as told me extensive after care instructions. He also gave me his opinion on what would look nice without any pressure. The shop was clean and nice inside and of all the tattoo shops in one strip, I'm so happy we chose Ace. read more

Aces High Tattoo - Done by Jeff :) - Tattoo Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

I am not from South Carolina & I make a tradition of getting tattoos from other states and by far the best decision to get tattooed at this shop. I come in and was immediately greeted by the woman working despite her helping other people. For me this is amazing because she made sure to acknowledge me. My tattoo artist was Jeff & he was the most amazing person I had a pleasure of meeting. The price of my tattoo was beyond responsible especially since the quality of the shop is great. Jeff talked me through the entire tattoo and made me feel super comfortable, there was an artist working on another piece to the cube over from me and he even chimed in on me and Jeff's conversation. The atmosphere at the shop was by far the best ever. I seriously enjoyed my time and the quality of the shop. Jeff even took time to explain and show me the tools he would use to make sure I felt comfortable and to demonstrate how clean they were which was by far so considerate. Afterwards he gave me detailed aftercare instructions which of course is greatly appreciated. THIS IS THE SHOP YOU NEED TO VISIT!!!! - a very happy customer! read more

We actually weren't able to get our tattoos from aces high because of some unforeseen circumstances. The Owner Jan was amazing and my emails with her she was very professional.

My friend wanted to get her second tattoo while we were on vacation as a "souvenir," so she decided to go with Aces High Tattoo. While I wasn't the one getting a tattoo, I was there the entire time, and can say that the artists treat their customers with respect, and take pride in their work! They were fairly priced compared to other shops in the area. Her artist did an outstanding job on the actual tattoo, and made everything a breeze for her. He did a great job explaining things to us about what he was using for the prep, and after care. After seeing how professional these guys are, I will definitely be going here when we come back to get one of my tattoos covered up! read more

After researching several tattoo shops and artists in the area, I decided that Aces High was going to be the best option for my tattooing experience. The artist portfolios look to be of high skill and the studio is known for its cleanliness. I had such a positive experience at Aces. I was in town for just a few days and called to see if I could get in with Jeff after looking at artists' portfolios on their website. I called and the man answering the phone was super nice and informative. He told me that I would need to come by the shop to consult with the artist and see if I could get worked into his schedule while in town. I did as he told me. When I arrived at Aces, I only had to wait a couple of minutes to consult with the artist. I told him exactly what I was looking for and he told me what would and wouldn't work with my design, of course looking for the tattoo to last and be readable over the years. I expressed worry about getting a straight line and on an uneven area; Jeff was honest about the difficulty of the area to tattoo a straight line, but was confident that he would make the tattoo look good. I was happy with what we decided and paid the deposit for a tattoo the next day. When I came back for my tattoo, I was taken back to where the tattooing would take place. There were two artists (including my own) and two people being tattooed (including me). I liked that it wasn't super crowded and minimal distractions, if any. Jeff showed me my sealed needles and expiration dates for each, which is comforting. We applied the stencils for each tattoo. Jeff was able to capture exactly what I wanted for each tattoo (size, design, etc.) and each was perfectly sized and designed for the areas of my body where I wanted them. Since my tattoos were rather small, I was in and out in just about 30 minutes. Jeff was super focused on his work and took care with my straight line that I had expressed concern about on the day we originally met. Everything turned out exactly as I had hoped and, even better in some ways. Not only was I met with a clean studio and friendly people, but I was met with knowledgeable people who focused on giving me high-quality permanent pieces on my skin. The artist took time to listen to what I wanted, asked a handful of clarifying questions to make sure he got exactly what I wanted, and took his time to tell me how to adequately take care of my tattoos for proper healing. I will absolutely go back to Aces High and see Jeff if ever I choose to get another. read more

So Aces High is awesome :) My three friends and I had come up with a basic tattoo concept we all wanted but on different body parts. Sam took our design and created something even lovelier, and he and Chuck did a phenomenal job applying it. Crazy cool staff (who were all super helpful and delightful to chat with), super clean and professional and comfy environment. Makes me want to come back to Myrtle Beach for all my future tattoos (even though I live in Ohio:) read more

Sam was a great tattoo artist. Very friendly, nice and professional. Tattoos came out amazing. We went through the strip to get prices and Sam was incredibly nice and offered for us to watch as he drew them out, sized them and all. I would definitely recommend and ask for him, if you're ready this. read more

Very clean, receptionist was awesome. That being said if you choose to come here BEWARE OF CHUCK. He seemed very out of it and possibly intoxicated. He then got frustrated after he applied the stencil and it was not at all what I wanted. It looked very sloppy and he told me I'd have to go to a different artist. I then went with Joel who was much more professional and did his job correctly. Without Joel I would have rated this place 1 star. If you come here DONT BOOK CHUCK. Chuck is not worth the buck. (He also tried to over charge us hundreds of dollars. read more

Was at the beach and decided to get a tattoo. Went to Aces High because of the great reviews. Went into talk to them and they were supper friendly. I showed them what I wanted. They told me no problem. I mentioned I was on vacation and they told me to wait to get the tattoo until the night before I was going to leave. I came back in and Sam did my tattoo. He explained everything clearly he took time with me. He was just wonderful and professional. I highly recommend Aces High and Sam to anybody who wants to get a tattoo. Thanks great work. read more

i called aces high a couple weeks ago about having a bachelorette party i was organizing from out of state to come by on a sunday. let me start by saying that this was one of the coolest days ever. the artists and staff are so friendly, so patient, and so COOL. a group of 8 girls with very different styles, tastes, ideas, and personalities filling up your shop for the entire day can be quite an endeavor, but the gents (and lady!) of the establishment took us all on with good graces. very clean. very professional. i got an area that is typically very difficult for me tattooed, and had an amazing experience. the colors are bright, and the healing process has been, at this point almost a week out, almost effortless. thank you, guys! it was a memorable day for sure! read more

My wife and I were vacationing in North Myrtle Beach. and both of us wanted to get a tattoo to celebrate our anniversary. I had always wanted a certain tattoo and we has searched Google exhaustedly to find the right tattoo shop. After wasting our time for an entire week emailing back-and-forth with a competitor, I won't mention their name, but trust me they were far from "Elite". At the last minute we were told they didn't have any sittings the entire week so we were left with nothing the first day we pulled into Myrtle Beach. We saw that Aces High was highly recommended so we gave them a call and they brought us in to see what design we wanted. Brock, the manager, agreed to take his day off to do both our tattoos and WOW!! He is incredible!!! Not only did I get what I wanted, it was above and beyond all my expectations. The shop was super clean, Social distancing was strictly enforced by the amazing shop manager, and our total of 7 1/2 hours at the shop flew by. If you want a $20 tattoo then go elsewhere,If you want a work l of art you'll be proud of the rest of your life then Ace's High is the place! Thanks Brock and staff, we will see you next summer!!

Aces High Tattoo - Tatoo - Tattoo Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Definitely the place to get a tattoo. I wanted my first tattoo, very simple, but wanted some help deciding on what it would ultimately look like Tried with another shop that was highly rated, but got zero personal service. All forms and emails every 3-4 days and very expensive and NO help Was kinda bummed, but decided to try Aces High. Walking up greeted by Shawna and she set the whole tone. Sanitizer and temps were first, then she helped me figure what I wanted and could do, the price was great and place was clean and felt comfortable. She was SO very helpful and patient. Chuck was my artist and he put me at ease with his professionalism. He explained everything, and did a great job. Just a great place and I got exactly what I wanted. They will treat you right and everyone I saw leaving there, including me was very happy. Thank you Chuck and Shawna for a great experience. I will be back. read more

This was my first experience being discriminated against as a disabled veteran with a service dog, and overall denied access. They refused to acknowledge that the Americans with Disabilities Act (a federal law) supersedes SC Dept of Health & Education's rules, didn't bother to look either ADA or SC DHEC guidelines, then they didn't want to give my $60 deposit back. Backstory: I planned my trip and drove from Texas to Myrtle Beach, all planned around getting my tattooing done in an area I was stationed. I previously had gone to Joe at Elite Ink Tattoo who did amazing work. I wanted some of the color re-inked and start a new one. They couldn't fit me in but recommended Chuck at Aces High because they were familiar with and respected his work, thought he would be the best fit for what I wanted, and that the tattoo parlor was an excellent alternative. I thought it was great that they would praise a competitor. I went over to Aces High and told them everything. They (manager and an artist) immediately disparaged Elite Ink for not fitting me in, re-inking me for free, that the color didn't set right wasn't an allergic reaction but bad work, and wanted to know why Elite would recommend a specific artist when they were all experienced and amazing. So I think "Ok, let's let this go and focus on the tattooing". I explained what I wanted and they went back and forth about not having time, but Chuck was great and said since I came to the state for this and was leaving in 2 days that he'd stay late the next night for me. I made the appt, informed them that I needed to have my service dog with me, and it all started going downhill from there. They told me that my "puppy" was not allowed in. Side note: she's a 3.5yo well trained SD, in a vest, and behaving perfectly. The manager said it was state mandate that no animals are allowed in to the tattoo room. I mentioned that the ADA is federal law and supersedes state laws, that she is allowed everywhere any client would be allowed. But I said to avoid the problem, if I was feeling alright when I came in I could have her sit in the hallway where I could see her or leave her in my vehicle (evening with cool weather, don't worry!) but that I needed her close by in case any medical situations arose. They agreed with this and I paid a $60 deposit. Jump forward to the next evening and I came in for my appt. They had set up a table outside the door for screening, so the rest of this situation occurred outside and in front of about 8 other people in a 15ft radius who could hear everything. I'd had a very high stress day and my SD helps treat that and so told them I needed to have her with me. The female (front desk clerk?) said absolutely not and proceeded to again tell me that SC DHEC does not allow animals. She further explained that dogs shed dander which can cause allergic reactions and other issues and were not allowed in sterile environments for the safety of others. I explained that she was a Service Dog, not a regular dog, and that ADA states she must be allowed to go wherever I do so long as she is not out of control. She argued that DHEC overrules the federal law, that I didn't have the right to put others in danger of allergic reactions, staph, and other diseases with my dog and that I needed to call someone to pick her up. I asked if there was a way we could make this work and she went to get the manager. He came out and we went over it again with him verifying and agreeing with everything she said. I told them I had a history of seizures and other issues and that she is a response dog and not an alert dog so does not always have to be right there, but if my stress or pain was too high that I needed to have her with me in case something started and she could help treat it. He remained adamant so I asked if she could at least sit in the doorway or hallway and they said no, but that I could come back some other time without my dog. I asked if I could at least get my deposit back. He told me it's non-refundable. I explained that I'm not the one wanting to cancel my appointment and that they were already denying me entry despite the law that says they can't. They then went inside together to discuss it. While they were inside, the surrounding people chimed in with their opinions for and against, since they all got to hear everything. The manager came back out and announced (then looked around at everyone) "that they don't normally do this, but he guesses my health is worth more than them making $60" and gave me back my money. Then told me when I visited the state again to come to them and not to Elite Ink. I went back to my hotel and had an anxiety attack. Once I calmed down I looked up SC DHEC and it says clearly that guard and service dogs are the exception to the "no animals rule". The confrontation and anxiety attack lead to 3 days of full body pain while driving back to Texas and a week later I'm still stressed and hurting over it all. read more

I went in here to do a simple tattoo which I thought would be impossible to mess up... Boy was I wrong. I wanted a simple shading (smoke like) to applied around the lettering on my chest. I took in a picture of exactly what I wanted, but instead of a light gray shading, he filled in the area around it with nearly full black!! I have included a picture of what I showed him and what he tattooed on me. I'm currently rubbing Vaseline on it in hopes that it will draw out the ink and looking into bleaching creams, unfortunately I've heard these have adverse side effects. I'll probably have to spend an arm and a leg lasering this. The fact this place is quick to take you in same day and tattoo you may be tempting, but don't do it people. Do research, find a good tattoo artist, and make an appointment and wait!! read more

Aces High Tattoo - It was supposed to a super light gray shading but instead he made it almost full black, darker than my actual tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Loved going to Aces High for my 3rd tattoo, but my first in the local area. Adam did myself and my boyfriend's tattoos - was exceptionally friendly, funny, and personable. Didn't make a fuss at all over the stencils being placed 3 or 4 times on each of us to get the placement just right (I've been to an artist before who made me feel like I was inconveniencing him with this!). Though our tattoos were pretty straightforward and only black in colour, the design is all angular with long, straight lines, which of course the slightest imperfections or wiggly line would be noticeable. Nope. He did it perfectly, and the tattoos healed just as perfectly when the shop's directions were followed to the letter. I may not be a local, but I'm definitely going to be going back on my next trip to the area! (Also, I know tattoo shops don't like you to shop around, but the price for our tattoos was definitely reasonable and what I'd expect - $80 each - while another shop in the same strip wanted a whopping $200 each! I won't name that other place, but there's no way the quality could be any better to justify that difference. Not with the clean work we received at Aces High!) read more

Hello friends!!! Act 1. We came here a few weeks ago. After doing my Yelpsearch on some tattoo shops. I noticed the location for more than 5 shops in the same area. Since they were all located basically next to each other; and they are at least 30 mins away. (Ahhhhhh, I'm really starting to talk myself out of this reallyyyyyy quickly). Act 2. Listening to my inner self after reading all the reviews for this/as well as the multitude of other tattoo shop. I pick this one. Called to see if they were open. (It was a Tuesday, which was my birthday. And for that reason alone I fell like some places my observe it as a holiday). The guy ("J".... the Poe Fan) that answered the phone seemed up beat. I told him I just got married & my birthday is today. We would like to come in & get inked. He simply replied, "Awwww, sweet! Congrats. Come on in & I'll hook you up"! Act 3. After traveling 30 minutes, we made a LEFT onto the side street. GPS says its on the left. Well, it's in a business strip mall. And ALL the business's were You guest it, TATTOO SHOPS. Cool, no worries. Walked in, did a little vibe-test. Looking around & seen ut was very clean, lisence on ghe wall, etc. After a few sports talk minutes. He was OK with me. We had an idea if the tattoo we wanted. We all talked it out and he made it happen. Act 4. While my wife was getting her tattoo, I noticed he "J....the Poe fan" had a lot of artwork in his area. I noticed he had a picture of Edgar Allen Poe. He just happens to be my favorite short strory author. After that, I knew I was in the right place, gettin tatted by the right person! I mean how rare is that!! Edgar Allen Poe! read more

I went to Aces High several days ago with a neighbor. We are both in our 60's and getting tattoos were on our bucket list. AG was our artist and he did great work ! I got two tattoos and she got one. We came with images of what we wanted. I put a shamrock on my leg and a harp on my upper arm. AG made a sketch of the harp for me to approve before he put anything on my arm. His design turned out far better than the image I planned to use. He is very talented. I found the environment safe, clean and friendly. The price I paid was very fair. Thank you AG. I suspect some of my friends will be coming to see you. read more
