The studio gives "calm/peaceful" vibes, which helps me not be overstimulated or anxious. The shop is clean, tranquil, and shares global inclusive art creativity. Tattoo Artist: Jonathan was amazing! He greeted me with a genuine welcome and readiness to help. He explained my options, created my design, and was kind, professional, SKILLED, and hilarious. His positive, down-to-earth energy was contagious. I felt spoiled with VIP treatment the entire time. I LOVE my newest tattoo and will be back for another. Thank you, JP and Ageless Arts Tattoo & Body Piercing.

We are assuming she had a regular call and make an appointment at the last minute and bumped wife's appointment. It must be nice to turn down business.

I had my work done by Eris and not only is he a very nice welcoming individual but his skills are truly out of this world. I brought him a tattoo design and he improved it on his computer, asked for my opinion, gave me his opinion and then placed it exactly like we agreed onto my skin. It is a true work of art. My tattoo turns head everywhere I go and I couldn't be happier.

I can't say enough about Venture Tattoo. Anthony did a custom half-sleeve for me. It was my first…read moretattoo, but won't be my last. Anthony is an artist, plain and simple. He's an unbelievable talent who is also soft spoken and humble about his work. I know all the artists there are excellent, but if you're looking for something big, he's awesome. He worked for 6 hours on my arm. Got it done in one session, and because he is so good, pain was minimal and after care was painless (which surprised me). I waited 43 years to feel confident enough to get a tattoo. Anthony was the perfect artist for me and I can't wait to get back in there for the next one. I almost never write reviews like this but just want to make sure Anthony and Venture get their due respect from me after my experience there. Thanks. See you guys in October!

Super accommodating when we had the consultation - when other places gave me very judgey looks - and just said "hey you're the boss". And then when we went in today he kept us laughing the whole time even through the pain of wrist tattoos. He totally nerded out with us over Harry Potter and other things. And the tattoos are GORGEOUS and so clean and he was helpful about aftercare. I didn't take a picture before it got covered but I'll add one later. Super reasonable prices too!

Why would you pay $100 deposit and pay for your tattoo up front before getting your tattoo. So now I'm out of $100 and I had to report this tattoo shop. Do not go here.

He's extremely meticulous and my tattoo came out so beautiful. I'm grateful for all of the effort he put into it. I let him have creative freedom with what I wanted and it was very worth it.

Overall, extremely kind people that want to take care of you and give you the best quality art. Thank you guys for everything! I will definitely be returning!

Leo's attention to detail and artistic skill are unmatched. Every line, every bit of shading, always turns out clean and precise. On top of that, the atmosphere they create in the shop is relaxed and welcoming. I have always felt comfortable and cared for during every session. What really stands out is how much passion he puts into his work. You can tell he truly leans into his craft, and it shows in the quality and creativity of every piece. I'm so proud to have his artwork on my skin and can't recommend him enough to anyone looking for a tattoo artist who's talented, professional, and genuinely kind. Raquel also makes booking easy and seamless, I look forward to seeing them both!

By far the worst tattoo shop I've gone to…read more... 2 years ago I got 2 small tattoos (I was a walk in) and both the experience and the tattoos themselves are horrible. For reference I have over 10 tattoos have gone to many shops now. Firstly, a tattoo on my arm, the artist (still works at the shop) did NOT prep the skin or shave the spot until I told them and now that its 2 years old its super faded and sloppy line work. Then for my second tattoo, its splotchy and wobbly. The artist could pull a clean line to save their life. Its so embarrassing to have this on my skin... forever. I do not recommend. Seriously. Do not go here I don't even know how they have 5 stars.
