Came in for a walk in one day and Motz was the perfect match for what I was looking for. I got a gnarly American traditional wizard on my arm and I love it! if you're looking for big pieces, Motz also does that too. We are currently working on my battle royale backpiece and it's so close to being finished. I highly reccomend Dedication tattoo and ask for Motz.

Clean, professional, kind, personable and highly skilled artists. I would highly recommend! Special shout out to our artist Aaron - he is amazing!!

He made our daughter's first tattoo experience super special. Thank you Aaron!

I told him when I'm ready I'll let him know as I'm not good with pain. Fast forward I notified him that I was ready. He said he'd create something. Admittedly I was nervous especially around the face. As we discussed the face makes it. To my wonderment I was pleasantly surprised. Being that I'm more of the expert on Blade we made minor adjustments and it came out beautifully. We changed some nuances so my art ink was run of the mill Blade. The shop was very clean and decorated like a total tattoo shop. James vibe was there from the beginning when my niece and I went to him the first time.

One thing about me is depending on the day, I am cartoonishly anxious. Lucky artist Amanda Boik got…read moreme on one of my bad days. I was indecisive, insecure, antsy, and overthinking everything. Fun! Despite my best efforts to drive her insane, she was the picture of professionalism throughout our session. She worked with me to ensure I was happy with the piece and it's placement, and answered all of my questions (including the half-dozen times I asked if I was moving too much). After going back to the drawing board twice to make adjustments to the design, Amanda did a beautiful job on my White Rabbit tattoo. Her line work is STUNNING! I will also say that she had a very light touch, and the experience was about as painless as it could be for an hour of needles being jabbed into my skin. Pricing was fair, and the booking process was easy. The shop was clean, and had a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. I'd come back for more work in the future, and would recommend Dead Drift to anyone who asks.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Nick did my tattoo and made the process so easy…read moreand memorable. I really feel like he actually cared about it and didn't see it as just another tattoo on another person. He took his time helping me design my vision and gave great advice and suggestions when I asked. I never felt he rushed any of it. It turned out even better than I could've imagined. This tattoo is in honor of my grandmother that unexpectedly passed, so it was going to be the most important tattoo I'd ever get. If you want a person that is going to listen to you and also genuinely care about you and the work they do, Nick is the guy! He's fabulous with colors. The shop itself is also clean and the owner is very friendly. I can't see myself ever going to anyone else in the future.

I got a two word phrase, "Let God" the process of choosing where I want it and how went perfectly, but once he was done and I looked in the mirror the letters were a bit wonky and uneven. This was my first tattoo experience so I was a bit nervous to speak up about my doubts, but I asked another artist if he noticed what I did. He agreed with me and said he'll tell the artist to fix it for me. My artist, Matt, came over and proceeded to fix it as best he could. He was a bit sassy with me... I asked if he noticed the L in "Let" he said "what about it". I then told him i think making the bottom of the "L" line a bit thicker would maybe fix it. I asked him if he thinks so and he replied with "I don't know, we'll see". His attitude and demeanor towards me after I spoke up about my tattoo just wasn't great. Overall, I am glad I got my tattoo, I do like it, but the experience and outcome of it could have been much better.

When I decided it was time to just do it, I felt like finding the right artist who could take this idea on was going to be difficult. I mass emailed a ton of tattoo parlors with my idea and only got one artist who was excited to take on the idea: Trina. She not only wanted to do it, but was legitimately excited to. What resulted was an amazing work and something I'm so genuinely in love with. As we went along, I kept wanting to add, add, and add! The final result is incredible. I'm so happy. Definitely will be getting another one from Trina as soon as the right idea pops in my head again.

I cannot thank and recommend enough Ikonik Tattoo for their love and patience. All of the people that work there are phenomenally talented artists.
