    "Immunity" tattoo above elbow

    I got my first two tattoos here and they were done by Cory. The process of getting the tattoo was very easy and I love how they turned out. The pictures were taken right after they got tattooed. The shop had a lot of cool art all around and everyone was really chill and nice. I had a great first tattoo experience and I will definitely be coming back when I want another tattoo.

    My first tattoo

    Went in just for a consultation but Cory had time to fit me in and we got to work. It was my first and he talked me through it. I am very happy with the work!

    Recommend to all my friends. I will keep coming back to this place for as long as I am around. Never fail to be impressed by Josh Roy's work. Got my second tattoo with them today. Much gratitude for all the time, effort, and vibes.

    Rhiannon (Ree) did an amazing, custom and colorful traditional mandala on my forearm. I walked in for a consult (check her Instagram @tattoosbyree for hours) to talk about what I wanted, came back a week later to look at the drawing, and sat the next day for the work. Ree worked quickly, made great conversation, and was honest and transparent about the process and options. The final product really came to life with vibrant colors. (And, the workspace was very clean and professional.)

    I got tattooed by Cory around a year ago (the piece on my lower left forearm). Cute shop, good music, and I was happy with my experience! Cory worked with me to find the perfect placement for my tattoo, and it turned out just how I wanted. Friends have said great things about Ree as well!

    Got my second tattoo here, love it such a great job!! Cory did an amazing job the lines on this tattoo are much better than my previous one that I had done somewhere else. I will definitely be coming here for all my other tattoos.

    Professional consultation with Brian, super helpful. Great work and a great time in the chair. Very affordable and convenient location.

    Gary is an amazing artist!!! I went in without a real concept in mind, I just knew that I wanted an owl and I like the color purple. He took the time to draw it up and give me a completely personal tattoo that I show off to everyone!! I get compliments every time I go out. Gary's attitude and annoyance with me was only mildly irritating. (Kidding of course). He is the only person besides a phlebotomist that I'll allow to touch me with a needle. He does incredible work and takes a lot of pride in his trade! Highly recommend

    Thanks Cory!

    Well, I didn't want to leave a review until I'd had my consultation-- but I was rescheduled almost…read morethree times and decided not to go through with it, so my review is based solely on customer service. I'm sure the artists are great, and I liked what I saw. However, let's get into it. I believe I scheduled my first consultation attempt a month in advance. The DAY BEFORE, I get a call at work. Something came up, does 2:30 work? I said no, because I am an adult that can't come places at 2:30 on a Thursday with no notice. We agreed on 3 and I said sure. (I had a doctors appointment.) I cancel my 3 o'clock appointment with my nail girl. I get a call not even ten minutes later, again at work. 3 doesn't work. Awesome! I schedule for 2:30 the next day. I then get a text at almost 10 AT NIGHT. Another client rescheduled, which I thought would not affect my appointment as I'd made it so far in advance but evidently not! I ended up going with somewhere else due to the unprofessionalism, but was kind in my response anyways (because why be nasty?). I basically just said I thought G-d was telling me not to because it'd been cancelled so many times. But, what rubbed me the wrong way was "that might be the case". I'm sorry, but how is you rescheduling me three times G-d? I was being nice. Be real.

    Review / Complaint About My Experience With David at Steve's Tattoo…read moreI've been getting tattooed at Steve's Tattoo for years -- by Steve himself and by many artists who've come and gone, including David, who this review is specifically about. Up until recently, I actually liked David's work. He's done multiple tattoos on my sleeve and even tightened up some older pieces to make everything flow together. His talent can be great when he actually tries. But what happened this year is something people deserve to be warned about. 1. The First Red Flag Last year David tattooed a tarot card of my dog on my bicep. The work turned out great, but his behavior that day was... off. He was short, rude, and uninterested in even basic communication. I brushed it off as a bad day. We talked afterward about finishing my sleeve, so I assumed things were fine. 2. October 26th Appointment - The Point Where Everything Went Sideways I booked an appointment for October 26th at noon to finish some filler on my sleeve. What actually happened: He made me wait over 30 minutes just to start setting up. He barely spoke and acted irritated from the second I walked in. I explained what I needed: the same pattern and color he started near my wrist, carried up the rest of the arm. I put my headphones in because the tension was so uncomfortable. While he was tattooing, it felt like he kept going over the same spots repeatedly. I have tattoos on my neck and feet -- I know what tattoo pain and swelling look like. This was different. When I looked, the area was extremely red, raised, and bleeding more than anything I've ever had. When I got home, I realized why: He only used ONE color -- and it was the WRONG color. The design didn't match my sleeve at all. It looked sloppy, rushed, and honestly more like flames than the pattern he originally created. It already looked like something that will age terribly. I emailed him politely because I was genuinely afraid I had somehow upset him and he did this intentionally. That's how uncomfortable and off his behavior was. He told me to come back on December 10th so he could "fix it." 3. December 10th - The Gaslighting & Disrespect I went to my appointment today hoping he would make it right. Instead: He completely gaslit me. He insisted the tattoo "is the same" (it absolutely is not). He claimed "there's no room," "it would look crowded," and "that's the best he can do." When I showed him the areas that are clearly different, he just argued and dismissed everything. And then he said the part that really tells you everything you need to know: "I don't want to work on it anymore." "You're being too emotional." "I just don't feel like it." He refused to finish the work he messed up. I begged, I reasoned, I even offered to pay him AGAIN just to fix the damage -- because I've already had multiple artists start and stop this sleeve and I wanted the same person to finish it. He didn't care. When I asked for Steve's contact info, he refused to give it to me. When I turned to look for a business card, he literally yelled at me: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? THE DOOR IS RIGHT THERE." He treated me like trash and threw me out of the shop after knowingly giving me a tattoo that doesn't match, isn't the right color, and was done so aggressively that it raised and bled more than any tattoo I've ever had. 4. Why I'm Warning People I've never disrespected an artist. I tip well. I sit still. I don't complain. I've never caused a scene or been rude. There was absolutely no reason for him to treat me the way he did. And here's the truth: **If David gives you work you don't like, he will NOT fix it. He will gaslight you, blame you, and then kick you out.** I don't know if he was having a bad month, a bad year, or if something happened between appointments. But what I DO know is this: What he did to my arm was careless and nothing like the work he is capable of when he actually tries. And the way he treated me -- after years of being a good client -- was inhumane, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. People deserve to know.
