Can't say enough great stuff about this shop. My sister and I just got our second tattoos from the…read moreowner, Sevil James - who kindly rebooked us after the shop was shut down for COVID. It was completely worth the wait because his work is incredible, painstakingly detail-oriented and gorgeous. He won't start the ink until you're 100% comfortable with the design and placement, and won't finish until he knows it's exactly perfect. He is a true artist and professional, with a chill demeanor and cool vibe. He made our ideas come alive in ways we could never have imagined. The shop is clean and all the artists are friendly. Definitely come get your ink done here, you won't be disappointed. We'll be coming back as long as we can. Thanks to Sevil - you are the man. Wish I could give you 100 stars.

Dylan did a great job. I couldn't be any happier with the work he has done so far. His shop is…read moreclean calm and chill. Parking can be tricky but it is worth the effort. I didn't even get a chance to sit down without one of his staff offering me water. This is now my second tattoo I've gotten from Dylan. He did a fantastic job covering up a mistake I made 20 years ago. Also if Dungeons & Dragons is what you're into so is he. If you are in the market for a tattoo please consider Dylan or one of his staff. I don't really share pics of myself online anymore so I apologize for not being able to show you his beautiful work you're gonna have to see for yourself.

Erin had done a large tattoo on my thigh at this shop. The line work is extremely uneven and…read morecrooked throughout. Some lines are noticeably thicker than others, and it looks like the needle had gone too deep in several areas. Instead of clean, smooth lines, the tattoo appears shaky and poorly done. I understand that no tattoo is perfect, but this goes beyond minor imperfections. For something this large and permanent, I expected a much higher level of precision. I was there for many hours and spent hundreds of dollars to be left with a big embarrassment.

I had been planning on getting a cover up job for an old tattoo on my back for years-- and in the…read moreend decided to take the plunge-- with a little apprehension about how it would be. So-- I thought I'd tell you how it was-- in case you too are teetering on the edge of indecision and needed just a little push to compel you to take the plunge too. I worked with Mike Bradley-- and he was fantastic. I gave him two images that I liked, then he came up with an original work from those ideas-- and he is an artist-- with an artist's eye for detail and precision-- and in the end, the work was spectacular. In the end, the piece took about five hours. Needless to say, getting a larger tattoo means pain-- and I think I'd gone in underestimating just how important it is that the artist doing the work is personable and patient and thoughtful. Mike was all of these-- which took the edge off of the pain and made the time fly. So! If you're looking for quality and skill, I highly recommend Mike at 717 in Columbia. The place offers piercing and tattooing services, and jewelry as well. It's clean, and the staff is helpful and accommodating, and it's not too far off Route 30, and has cheap, metered street parking. And you know how it is: tattoos are a little like them Lay's potato chips-- it's really hard to stop at just one. When I went in I had no intention of getting more-- but now I'm reconsidering; I had such a positive experience, and I don't know that I can articulate just how much I love the piece that I will carry on my back for the rest of my days-- and I want more. So, if you were looking to support a locally owned business, and support our local artists, you should definitely check out 717.
