My wife, daughter and myself had a last minute urge to get matching tattoos. We did an online…read moresearch to find a shop to consider. We stopped by a couple others in town that were not clean or desirable in any way. We got to Empire and right away could tell this shop was clean and had a very inviting and comfortable atmosphere. We met with Nora and let her know what we wanted. It was a Saturday afternoon and didn't really expect that we could get it done that day, but my daughter was flying home the next day. We told Nora what we wanted and she said no problem and asked if we could come back that evening and she would make it happen. I will definitely be back. She did a great job, she was friendly and took pride in her work.

Working with my artist, Ryder, I was able to have a detailed vision of what I wanted done. He was great about not only listening to what I wanted to do, but he was candid enough to let me know when something I might want wouldn't be the best idea based on how tattoos work in terms of size and scope. I have 3 pretty elaborate and fairly custom tattoos that he has done for me. I have gotten multiple compliments on them, and I won't go to another shop to have anything inked on my body. Everybody that is very cool with a laid back vibe. You don't get that dingy biker dive feel about the place. Great artists that do great work and listen to their clients.

Persephone has over a decade of piercing experience with her expansive knowledge and exquisite jewelry, you will be thrilled you book with her! She's made a local name for herself with her personalized ear curations! Have to take a moment for a well deserved honorable mention of any the custom tattoo arts that live and breathe life into this place... because wow! Have you liked and followed their Facebook and instagram page yet? If not, you're missing out! Scotty, Spooki, Jarred, and Laura all have their own unique style that really makes this place stand out among the rest. You go to other tattoo shops to get a cool tattoo. Neat! But when you step foot in Fox and Crow, you not only get the dopest tattoo, you get the whole experience. The shop is beautifully designed and decorated like a whimsical museum, something to gawk at around every nook and cranny. You'll find something new every time you go! I promise, each visit will leave you wanting to come back for more! 100/10 you should have already booked an appointment!

I've gotten two tattoos and some extra artwork from the amazing artists at The Fox and Crow and I…read morecould not be happier with the results or the experience. Entering the appointment-only shop, you're greeted by your artist at the door. There's eclectic artwork starting right as you enter and continuing throughout the shop. Some are display, some are novelty, some are for sale. But all of it intriguing and engaging. I could hang out just exploring the shop. The fact that it's appointment-only and that you must be escorted in creates and environment free from outside distractions, allowing for a truly focused experience between patron and artist. Scotty Tedrow seems like a fantastic human being. He engaged me I conversation when I was talkative and let me kinda simmer in earbuds when I needed silence or online distraction. The tattooing is abso-effing-lutely mind blowing. Scotty is basically a wizard with black and grays. His blackwork portfolio could be a textbook/training manual in the style. Jarred Scott tattooed a memorial piece of my late pup a few years ago. The things this man can do with color borders on the absurd. Ignoring his fantastic attention to detail, I've never seen a fully healed tattoo that he's created where the color is not still as vibrant, saturated, and stunning as the day it was made. The Fox and Crow is a non-judgemental, open, and dare I say safe space. Patrons can feel safe to be themselves with any of the artists or piercers, knowing that they will be welcomed and accepted. I've been to tattoo shops where the air feels tense. Where there's big personalities clashing across the tables. The Fox and Crow is the opposite of that. The team of artists and apprentices there seem to be a tight-knot, cohesive unit. I get a really really strong sense of found family and it just adds the to the overall experience. In short, book any of them now and you won't be disappointed.

Quoted multiple times 350 for a piece filler tenticles full color. Ask if I care who does it i say…read moreno. The apprentice takes the job quotes same 350 price as before "may be a little less". She takes forever with the line work. She's learning no biggie. Kinda shakey lines again learning no biggie won't be able to tell when colored. After line work is finished she states she didnt realize how much work it was (I guess the mentors didnt either lol) charges me 265 for just the line work and states it will be $100 an hour and she doesnt know how many hours it will take to finish it (color it in) shouldn't the mentors help you with timing and pricing? I digress. I told her I didnt agree and felt like it was bad business practice to wait to say it was going to be more after half of the tattoo had been done she said she wasnt arguing and her work is worth more than that she wasnt going to do it for free. Idk how $350 is free but whatever. Owner Melissa Smith just says things like this can happen. Lmao what a scam. Creative Extortion. Stay away go anywhere else.
