    Another much appreciated Tattoo from Jake at my favorite Tattoo shop, coloring the guitar in with the Toby Keith signature red, white and blue american flag in a few weeks as a special tribute.

    I was lucky enough to get an appointment with Jon. I provided him some pretty rough sketches of what I wanted. He turned my concept into some incredible pieces. I was blown away with how he brought these tattoos to life. Jon can nail all sorts of styles, but got me exactly what I was going for. As for aces itself, the vibe is great. Skateboards and rock. The place was packed, presumably because everyone there is great. I highly recommend Aces, and Jon in particular if you can!

    Amazing shop! Nestled among great food establishments and boutiques is where you can find this local icon. If you have heard bad things about this place, it's likely the person spouting such was unreasonable (just being honest here). The shops cleanliness is remarkable. The staff is not only professional but honest and extremely friendly. The work is impeccable. I had a shoulder cover up that I am utterly in love with. The piece that Jon McCann covered for me was an ugly & very black tattoo. It was not an easy nor small cover up. Pricing will always depend on what you are seeking. Well worth the cost x10! I couldn't be more pleased with my experiences here twice now. Very much looking forward to continuing my tattoo work here!

    This place was quite nice! I got Jake to do my tatoo and the line work was clean and it didn't take long at all. V cute dogs. I would recommend establishment to anyone for a simple tatoo with some good line work. Mr. Jake was a nice conversationalist. Go get a tatoo

    Love the remodel

    I'm updating my review since I was finally the client. But it's still all about the artist Jon. Last fall after watching and talking to tattoo artist Jon McCann add to a friend's tattoo, I wanted to put my idea into motion. I was placed ons cancel list. It seems he's quite popular and appointments are almost 6 months out. Earlier this week I got a message about an open time and took it. Two fellow Yelpers Angie and Chris joined me at my appointment. Both are having work done by Jon. And they wanted to lend moral support. But I honestly think it's about hanging out with Jon who has a great personality and is cute. :) I arrived a little early and Jon had my drawing all ready. We made a few changes and took care of some easy paper work. Then moved into his work space. Love the new shop- it's brighter and more private. Just as the previous spot every thing is very clean and tidy. Jon has a great calming voice and walks a beginner through the steps. And double checks all the colors involved. And what to expect for sensations and the importance of sitting still. I won't lie, I made some odd faces but did not cry. I'm not sure how my two friends can sit through their large projects because my small guy was just enough for me. I highly recommend checking out Ace's and especially Jon.

    The finished tattoo! Well done Rob!

    Took my daughter (17) for her first tattoo. I came on a Sunday. After showing them a few pictures of the idea she had Rob drew it up. It was very good and for what she wanted. He helped us determine it need to be smaller. I appreciated they took in consideration of her first tattoo. The place was very clean and we were in and out on a a couple Of hours. If you come in have a few pictures you can email them, but let them use their creative talent to make it your own. And while your in mid town check out the other businesses in the area! Very cute clothing store next door!

    Got my tattoo colored here. Came in planning to just make an appointment and Jon had a cancelation. He got me in that night! He free handed the coloring of my tattoo, and it was amazing. He really knows how to do water color tattoos. The other artists at the shop are really good as well. My friends have gotten tattoos here as well and they were really cool. The shops clean and right in the heart of mid town off virgina. The prices are really good. 200 bucks for 3 hours of me squirming around, not the easiest person to tat, being muscular as well. I was so happy with my tattoo and I will be getting all my tattoos done here from now on. Jon is leaving for a little bit to Spain, but he'll back soon! If you get the chance and want a tattoo come here, expect about a 1-2 month wait time for appointment.

    Great tattoo place! We stopped in to see if we needed an appointment fully expecting it would be for a different day. We were super excited when they were able to get us in in 2 hours. I got a sisters infinity circle on my wrist. Jake was my tattoo artist. He did a fabulous job! The shop was clean and the staff was super friendly. I didn't think their prices were bad either. I have 2 more tattoos that I'd like to get and I will be coming here to get them done.

    I love their new location right next door to their previous one. This one seems very clean and well lit. Comfortable setup. I was recommended to Jon McCann by friends and am so pleased with his work. I had a mastectomy and reconstruction 3 years ago and have been contemplating getting some tattoo work for a while now. I made the appointments back in March and had my first session last week. I showed him a picture of the style I like and asked him if it was realistic. The colors are so vibrant, I thought they may have been PhotoShopped! Turns out, he knew the artist that did the work and was confident that he could do something similar. When I have had tattoos in the past, they have always been drawn on paper and transferred to the skin. I was nervous when he said he would draw directly on my skin instead of showing me a picture first but he did not disappoint and I couldn't be happier. Having someone tattoo on your breast may be a little awkward but he was perfect. I was comfortable every step of the way. There was a little area on the mastectomy scar that was extremely painful but we got through it. I was grateful that he did the most tender spots first. It made the rest easy. He completed the outline in about 90 minutes. I have two more sessions scheduled for the coloring but not sure we will need them both. *Update 8/23/16* The tattoo is complete and I couldn't be happier. Ended up using all three appointments. At times it was excruciating, just due to the nature of the tattoo. Jon made it as painless as possible and tolerated my grimaces. This was Jon's first time doing mastectomy work and he rocked it. I would recommend Jon without hesitation.

    My dudes. I've gotten two tattoos from Jake here at Ace's and he is great. First I time I went I got a Clueless tattoo (bc obviously). I saw Jake's cat photos at his station, he saw my cat tattoo on my arm, and I knew I was in the right place. The second time was on my 21st birthday and all my friends were in class (it was Tuesday and rainy) so instead of sitting at home I got a Beyoncé tattoo (you guys are starting to see where my priorities are). Jake gave me a lil birthday discount because he remembered me and gave me my first legal beer while I got my tattoo, turning my 21st into a pretty fab Tuesday. Both tattoos I got there are clean, creative, and exactly what I wanted! Everyone is very professional and friendly. Great prices and artists in this place!

    I came into the shop asking if they did walk-ins. They did. I asked Jason at the front desk who the best artist for ladies faces or artistic tattoos. He pointed to Elijah, and once I met this guy I knew he was going to be chill. Point is the shop is definitely clean, definitely professional, and definitely good. The prices are mostly moderate but I think can be open for discussion but as always YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!

    Huge amazing tattoo in 4 hours by Jared! Always quick and friendly.

Archie specializes in Traditional Japanese and he also does incredibly lifelike animal realism tattoos from portraits. He has a varied and talented array of artists, so you will be able to find someone who specializes in the body art you want. They take appointments and walk-ins, but no credit cards. Cash app, Venmo, Zelle or cash. They do have an onsite ATM for convenience. There is a Friday the 13th first come, first served flash event. Follow them on social media to see work from the artists and upcoming events. Located in midtown with a shared parking lot and on street parking as well. I wouldn't go anywhere else for a tattoo!

My daughter is autistic but had been wanting a tattoo for forever. Alexx was so patient and kind, as well as the others. When my daughter got lightheaded, another artist gave up his candy for her.

So much so, that a couple months later, my daughter went back for another one. 10/10 I recommend them to everyone.

Went there and City my tattoo artist had good work but I was already feeling nervous with his attitude while he rushed to eat his lunch to do my tattoo. I should have walked away then but was with a friend and wanted to do something fun. I let city know I have especially sensitive skin and he sarcastically responded that all tattoos hurt when that isn't true as this isn't my first one. He was not only rude but while I was on the chair I was the only one who asked for breaks for myself. When I was twitching and trying to hold on he annoyedly asked if I needed to get up. I just wanted my shit done and could hold on the pain. Y'all he didn't even get me any aftercare instructions and was invalidating my pain from the beginning to the end. I let the workers know and city texts me apologizing saying he'd fix it but that doesn't fix an already broken trust between client and artist. Looked cool at the end but because of lack of instructions and more my tattoo ended up burning me and I had to get help from several other tattoo friends and artists. Didn't ask for my money back or for a fix because I don't want my experience to be tied to that. Red has a great vibe and he was my piercer. I wouldn't want to tank his greatness with city's carelessness for me.
