    After
    Ned R.

    Ses did my first tattoo in 1999, and it was pretty faded out after 25 years. After building up the courage to face the needle again (lol), he agreed to re work it for me. I can't express how awesome this experience was. Such a laid back guy and he spent so much time making sure it was just right. I actually had a lot of fun talking with Ses and he did a great job making me comfortable. I am amazed how he had the skill to make it look like the old work was never there, and this new one is so crisp and clear, I can't stop staring at it! I am already planning another tattoo and would never think of going anywhere else. If there was a 10 star review option, you'd be looking at one. Attached are a faded before and awesome after pic.

    Fully custom designed tattoo by Ses
    Matthew B.

    Awesome experience with blackwork. Ses is the man and did my whole sleeve completely customized to even more than what I could have asked for. Ses and the rest of the staff are great and extremely helpful making the whole process a breeze from start to finish. The shop was great, clean, and comfortable so the many hours spent in there were pleasant.

    My dragonfly tattoo.  I love it!

    I had a great experience at Blackwork Tattoo Studio. My artist was Nat Cruz and she did an amazing job with every aspect of my tattoo. She designed the perfect tattoo for me. I had all these different ideas in my mind, and she took them all and designed exactly what I had envisioned. I scheduled my appointment through her website and it was easy and painless. We had an online consultation and we kept in touch until it was time for my tattoo. The day of my appointment, I arrived early, filled out some paperwork, and sat in the waiting room a bit. The shop is very clean and the receptionist was very nice and helpful. At the start of my appointment, Nat and I spent half an hour talking about the tattoo in the shop and then she got to work. It had been quite some time since my last tattoo so I was a bit nervous, but it was like riding a bike, and I felt comfortable with the tattoo process and with her immediately. My tattoo took exactly three hours and I had such a lovely time talking to Nat; she really knows how to put your mind at ease. It was a fun experience, and it made me want to go back and get even more tattoos! Thank you Blackwork Tattoo Studio and Nat for a great experience! I highly recommend Nat for your next tattoo!

    Rob Vanhook! Huge thumbs up for the amazing job you did adding to & improving my existing tattoo. Multiple people poo-pooed having a different artist doing the work I wanted, but after seeing his work, I took a leap of faith. It certainly paid off. Bonus: he's such a nice person & super easy to talk to.

    I absolutely love coming to Blackwork. Everyone is friendly and helpful! Alegra (Leg) is incredibly talented. I only consider going to Leg for all of my tattoos. The pricing is reasonable and a great value for the quality of work. Highly recommend.

    I love blackwork tattoo. I go to them for both piercings and tattoos. Natalie always does an amazing job. The staff is so kind, friendly and they take proper precautions with COVID-19. Thank you guys for your amazing work

    Skull and rose tattoo on right forearm

    I have been going to Blackwork Tattoo for years now. Cat was very professional and helpful at the front desk. With Covid and the restrictions now, she made everything easy and kept everyone comfortable as well, limiting the amount of people in at once, washing hands before entering the tattoo artist's room and keeping a safe distance. I got my tattoo done with Ease who I have been going to for years now and he didn't disappoint. I will continue to go to Blackwork and get all my tattoos there. I tried to get a good picture of my latest tattoo but it was difficult

    Tattoo by Evil Rob
    Carrie B.

    Let me start off by saying that I LOVE tattoos, but I am not the best client. I squirm and move and can't sit still for terribly long periods of time. Evil Rob was by far the most patient and caring artist I've ever had the pleasure of working on me. I get an incredible amount of compliments on my back and refer everyone I know to him. If you're looking for great conversation, great music choices, and someone who's willing to tolerate your bullshit to get you the tattoo you're dying for, Evil Rob is your man.

    My tattoo immediately after, its still smudged and a bit bloody but it is healing perfectly
    Shannon B.

    My girl Natalie didn't just give me a tattoo she gave me my favorite tattoo. I brought in "i am enough" in my own handwriting and explained what i wanted and she took my handwriting added to it slightly and made a beautiful piece for me. She is knowledgeable, artistic and just all around cool. My boyfriend also got a tattoo from her and we both plan on going to her from now on. Love her!

    Is this opened yet due to COVID or still closed?

    They're open.

    How are they on piercings?

    Excellent! My daughter got her second holes pierced there the same day that I got my conch pierced.
