Beaver tattoo

Went in as a walk in for my birthday and Ali was great at helping me out. The shop had great flash and I ended up getting a beaver. Ali did a great job and made me feel comfortable and welcomed. I would highly recommend Avalon Tattoo II and Ali!

Stopped by for a walk-in with Mike Stobbe today and was super happy with my tattoo and experience. I already had a single line black wave done on my foot from a a different shop and wanted to jazz it up a bit. Mike did an amazing job with the palm tree and blue coloring. It's exactly what envisioned! Great conversation, very comfortable/clean shop. I will definitely be going back for my next tattoo!

Jo brings it every time I may get flash later on from other artists when I travel but she will be my go to for meaningful and deep tattoos that are the most important to me Clean friendly and all around comfortable atmosphere Wish there were more stars to give

I wanted a tattoo in honor of my brother who recently passed. I was nervous to trust anyone with this task. But then I met D. He was compassionate, communicative, and gave me an amazing tattoo that honestly looks unreal. It made me cry when I got home because it was done with such care. He even set me up with a pillow and cushion so I could relax. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

My 50th birthday tattoo:)

I love this place! I went to Avalon Tattoo back in the day for my 18th birthday. Now, 32 years! later I went back to get a tattoo for my 50th birthday. Mike did a great job! I am absolutely obsessed with my new tattoo. And I'm pretty sure he also did the flowers on my ankles in 1991, lol. Tip: Make an appointment and send your ideas for the tattoo ahead of time.

Ryan was so great in helping me design my tattoo from start to finish. This was my first tattoo and I will definitely use him again for another.

Almost completely healed

Fip drew up my perfect tattoo based on five photos I sent with different components I wanted. I absolutely love it. It is exactly what I wanted and the entire process was awesome. The price was extremely reasonable. I was quoted almost eight times as much at another shop (which I will not name, since I ultimately decided that I was not going to work with them) for the same project. Fip has such a light hand that there was no bleeding at all, and it has almost completely healed just 9 days later. There are a few tiny bits of dry skin that haven't flaked off yet, but I'm patient. This is my eighth tattoo, so I know what I want and what I like and I appreciated how communicative Fip was throughout the design process as well as the actual tattoo. Honestly, the only downside is that the shop is on the second floor and as someone with really destroyed knees, I hate stairs. I did know this beforehand, and was willing to tolerate a little knee pain for the perfect tattoo. I am beyond thrilled with the end product, and will definitely be back for my next project.

Waited about 2.5 Months to get an appointment wit Jo Atwood. I have been tattooed at Avalon II before by Dave W. but he is not there any more. After much research we decided Jo would suit our tattoos perfectly. Both the wife and I were getting a pineapple with a hibiscus flower. One of Jo's specialties is flowers. She is good at what she does" Super friendly throughout the whole process, felt like I have known her for years. Her colors are vibrant and really pop! The shop is super clean and friendly, felt like my living room. All the artists and customers were also super friendly, lots of chatter going on. Lots of flash around the walls by Fip who owns the shop, very well know Tattoo artist! This was an all around great expierience and we will be back again when we figure the next tattoo! Thanks again Jo and Avalon II you are awesome!

"Anyway" tattoo by Jo Ann Atwood
Rena P.

5 stars to Jo Ann for her wonderful costumer service, positive attitude, patience, and beautiful art. I contacted Jo Ann through Instagram and she replied very quickly (that day). She helped me set up an appointment a few days later (she is booked out for a couple months, but made time for me since my tattoo is very small). She was on time for our appointment and very polite during our first meeting. She radiated a fun, professional vibe that was perfect for a tattoo artist. She took the time to pick out the perfect font for me, and didn't settle until she was sure I was happy. (even though we were in a bit of a rush, she was so kind and patient). She gave great advice on the size and placement of my tattoo based on my vision. She checked in with me several times and held a fun, light conversation with me while my tattoo was getting done. The shop was clean and well maintained. I felt very safe (especially since these are corona times!) Jo's station was tidy and professional. The shop has a very cool vibe with all the art on display on the walls. And finally, the art and tattoo itself! Jo's font and lettering is perfect. She turned my vision into reality and executed it perfectly onto my skin. I am proud to wear it. Overall, a wonderful experience with Jo Ann Atwood at Avalon II in North Park. Would absolutely recommend her to any, and I will definitely be back for more quote pieces in the future.

I've had some less than stellar experiences doing walk in tattoos, so I was cautiously skeptical when I saw the reviews. However, I'd like to confirm all of the good reviews! This is an amazing shop! Personally, I've been working with Jo and her work is amazing! I couldn't be happier with the piece she did for me.

I actually got my nose pierced years earlier at Enigma right next door, so I thought it was funny that my mom and I ended up here for tattoos. This tattoo parlor was recommended to me by a friend. Alex was super nice and accommodating and even took us in before his appointment since we arrived first. I had only called about 2 hours ahead of time to see if they could do a quick walk in and he said sure! I appreciated his care in the tattoo as well, as it is my late grandmother's name. Great, clean work & healed quick!

Great work done by Rezzy. Very happy with my quarter sleeve. Great work done by professionals who…read morelove what they do.

0/10. Do NOT come here…read more I found this artist through Instagram for anime tattoos. His work looked good, so I reached out. He was quick to respond and asked for a $200 deposit, which I sent via Apple Pay on March 5 to the shop owner. We booked for March 16. Leading up to the appointment, he would send random updates on the design, but nothing was finalized. I gave feedback and stayed patient, even knowing they had a Friday the 13th event going on. I didn't hit him up again until March 15 (the day before my appointment) because we STILL didn't have a finished design, which is wild. He tells me he'll have it done that day. Cool. Then a few hours later, I get a generic email saying my appointment is canceled. No explanation. Nothing. So I reach out to the number I sent my $200 to asking for a refund, and instead of handling it like professionals, they get confrontational and start acting like I'm the problem for asking for MY money back. They try to hide behind a "no refund" policy... even though THEY canceled on me. Make that make sense. I added my conversation with the artist, since the owner wants to claim harassment. Judge for yourself. No policy was ever clearly shown to me, and communication was trash the entire time. Instead of owning their mistake, they blamed me and got disrespectful. I only got my money back after I told them I'd file a chargeback with my bank and take them to small claims court. Go read their bad reviews--you'll see a pattern, especially with how the owner talks to customers. Super unprofessional. Save your time, save your money, and go somewhere else.
