    Don't mind the older key tattoo
    Brittany M.

    I was really wanting a new tattoo but hadn't found my place yet after we moved here. I have some ideas of pieces I wanted but didn't want to commit just yet....if that makes any sense. My husband and I had passed this shop a few times and liked the way it looked. We briefly looked online at the artist's work on Wednesday and decided the style did suit us best. We headed to the shop, no appointment and thought let's see what happens. We walked in, greeted by a couple people inside and I told him I wanted a rose tattoo on my forearm, I didn't have an appointment. He went to the back to get the tattoo artist, Jessica, and we talked. It was easy since it wasn't this huge piece, just a rose. She drew one up, and I noticed a piece on the wall that I loved. I mentioned it to her when she came back, and it turned out to be hers! She drew a beautiful rose, no stem. I wanted olive colored leaves and we went with the two-toned colored rose and took just about an hour. I am so in love with the finished product, I will definitely be back to see her for my next piece.

    After failing to hear back from several shops (sigh) I went to Art Work Rebels late on a Friday afternoon, solely on the basis of their good Yelp reviews and the fact that they'll take walk-ins, time permitting. The shop was quiet, clean and festooned with tattoo art - no unpleasant surprises, there. Jason was able to see me right away (I'm pretty sure it was Jason) and he did a great job with my simple little tatt (taken from a Jasper Fforde book, long story). I appreciated his explaining the minor tweaks he made to the design, and for gently pushing back when I (foolishly) tried to argue. Trust the guy with thousands of hours of experience ;) The ink has healed up without a hitch and it looks great. I'll definitely go back there for future work.

    Love the shop and the people. The shop is very clean and well decorated for a tattoo shop. But that's not the reason it's getting 5 stars. My artist was Joe and I really enjoyed being tattooed by him. He's really nice and you for sure can't go wrong with having him tattoo you. His work is very clean and just amazing line work. Really enjoyed the piece he drew for me and it was exactly what I wanted. Very happy and overall a painful but good experience . The image isn't my full tattoo. I wasn't going to take off my pants to fully display it. But I wanted to add it to show the good work

    Stewart did an incredible job bringing my tattoo idea to life. The fine lines, shading, and artistic interpretation he captured from the initial image provided during our consultation surpassed expectations. This piece is very personal to me and I am blissfully in love with the final result; Stewart's care, stunning artistry, and deft hands made the experience and the design perfect. I highly recommend Stewart, and will be looking to book my next tattoo through him in the future.

    If you're in the market for a gorgeous, unique and intensely detailed traditional tattoo, Gordon is your man. I spent weeks researching tattoo artists who specialize in the American traditional style, and Gordon kept coming up. He listened to what I wanted and tweaked the design until I was completely satisfied. On top of all that he was a fantastic conversationalist with a great taste in music. He even touched up another tattoo I got from a different shop! I've recommended him to anyone who will listen and I'll be sure to come back for more.

    We came here on referral for my daughter's first tattoo. We were looking for a place that did excellent work and would help us create a tattoo that was just right for my daughter. We met Joel and after five minutes of talking I was convinced we had found the right place. Joel took great care to listen to my daughter's ideas and suggested refinements to suit her. The tattoo is black and gray Lilly with the word "Believe" and some scrollwork. The detail and shading is amazing. The lettering and scrollwork beautiful. Joel and the rest of the folks at Art Work Rebels are true professionals, master craftsmen, and brilliant artists. They take great pride in their work, take great care of their customers, and stand behind everything they do. We could not be happier with the tattoo and our entire experience and we highly, highly recommend them!

    Came in for a walk in today and had the best experience. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. Josiah drew up exactly what I wanted the first time and gave some awesome suggestions. He was quick and they look amazing. I'm definitely coming back here for my next tattoo.

    Rad fucking job. Jeff P. is the man and killed it on my Shintaro Kago tattoo. Highly recommend this shop for Japanese style tattoos, and I'm 99% sure the artists could kill it at any commission you have in mind.

    Adam did an amazing job on my girlfriend's tattoo as well as on mine. Very polite team and terrific atmosphere. The price was fair too. Will be returning!

    I am so glad I found Virginia! I originally told her I…read morewanted a poppy, and she came up with a beautiful drawing of 3 different poppies at different stages of blooming. She didn't know at first but this was for my daughter, and it was the perfect art work to honor her that fit me perfectly. She also did a tribute tattoo on my other arm for my mom that was in perfect fine line that looks like it was hand written in one strike. She was easy to work with, really fun to talk to, and somehow made 4 hours fly by. I didn't think I'd want another tattoo for awhile but I'll definitely be back to Scapegoat to see Virginia soon. Thanks again!

    So glad that I discovered Sarah Carr! She's an all-around exceptional artist to work with, and…read morethat's made me a return customer. Sarah listens closely to what you want and then finds a cute, stylish way to make it work. Her placement is precise, she has a firm yet gentle touch, and her use of color is fantastic (both color theory and saturation). I've never been hip and now I'm getting old, so I'm quite used to feeling anxiously out-of-place in tattoo shops, but Scapegoat is more approachable and welcoming than your average shop. They go out of their way to offer water, space heaters, heating pads, masks, or whatever else might make you feel most comfortable. The artists seem to support and treat each other kindly. The bathroom is a work of art. Everything is clean. It's easy to find unmetered parking a couple blocks away. And this is a vegan business to boot! I couldn't ask for more.
