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!

Blair was great, extremely light hand and banged it out quick. Darrell (owner) and Blair are nice and laid back, no up selling here. BTW Blair also fixed up a cartilage piercing (gone wrong) for me in 10 minutes and charged me 10 bucks including the jewelry.

So I had my nose pierced last week by a young man named Von Needleman (what a cool name!!.) He was…read moresuch a nice guy took his time and has a great technique to get the piercing in the correct place because he has a great theory, that all noses are NOT created equal especially ethnic noses.( I won't give away his technique btw.) He made me feel relaxed and made me laugh a bit so I appreciated that. The shop itself is very clean and organized and all the piercing tools and nose stud came from sterile packaging. Their prices are very reasonable too. I will be returning for the tattoo services as well!! :)

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.

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!
