I tell him every time i get work done that the most recent one he's done is my favorite. Shop is always spotlessly clean, friendly and welcoming!

I've gotten several great tattoos from Woody in the past and always appreciated his skill and…read moreprofessionalism. Unfortunately, my most recent experience in March 2023 changed everything. I drove five hours for this appointment, only to be told an hour beforehand that I needed to come to his house instead of the shop -- no explanation, no prior notice. When I arrived, I was directed to a bedroom in someone else's house. It felt uncomfortable, but since I had trusted him before, I went along with it. He hadn't drawn up the design yet (despite it being a large, detailed piece), and after three hours, he had me sit in awkward, painful positions because he "didn't want to get the tattoo bed out." During the session, the conversation turned disturbingly inappropriate -- he bragged about hooking up with clients, talked explicitly about anal sex, and even shared a story about doing it in the room we were in. He also stated that he refuses to tattoo men because he finds them gross, which felt like a major red flag. He appeared to be under the influence -- red nose, constant sniffing, dilated pupils -- and what should've been a 4-hour session dragged into 9. After all that, over half of the tattoo fell out and had to be completely redone by another artist. I've been hesitant to speak up, but I feel a responsibility to warn others. I hope no one else ends up in a similarly unsafe and unprofessional situation.

Heavy water tattoo is the best! Brayton Furlong is a badass at tattooing and just in life. I had…read morethe best experience! His work is amazing and he is definitely a platform artist. He is so professional and open to working with you on any ideas you have. In the past i have felt put down by artists and like my opinion on the artwork didnt matter. I never once felt like that with Brayton. He is super chill, and an amazing artist. Never have I felt so at ease with an artist, and for being such a big dude, he has a very light hand, and was kind enough to keep checking in on me and giving me breaks to stretch. This is just the beginning of my sleeve but I cant wait for it to be finished and to see what that mind comes up with. I love my piece and he captured all the elements i wanted. Could not be more happy, and i cant wait for my next appointment. Plus, We like the same type of music so i got to listen to some badass death metal while i was there and i mean, come on, Deicide and espresso coffee at a tattoo shop? what else could you ask for?

What can you say about Eights and Aces... Flip and Ethan are the best in the business…read more Their skill and artwork are second to none, and honestly, you'll appreciate their sense of humor and ability to carrying on a solid conversation for time you sit with them. Do yourself a huge favor, go meet with the team, see the work they've done, ask them to create something special or go with any of the flash they've already put together. The results are better than you can imagine. Worth every penny, and I'm going on my 7th.

Very clean. Very professional. Excellent work…read more I commissioned a name piece to celebrate my son's cancer victory. Cruz understood exactly what I wanted and the more I look at my new ink, the more I like it. I appreciate the fact that every inch of wall is covered in artwork and awards. Even the flash tattoos are unique and well-designed, which is nice. I didn't notice any women artists when I was there. Maybe it was just the day. If not, definitely consider seeking women artists. Women elevate the atmosphere, making it more welcoming, and safe-feeling. Women add legitimacy to an artistic space because art is creation and women are creators. I sort of assume women work here and I just didn't see any, but if not, it might be worth considering. Y'all deserve the aura boost. Treat yourself. Also, there was an apprentice who initially helped me. Please for the love of humanity tell him to do something about the muskrat on his lip because it is doing him 0 favors, and throwing his vibe all the way off. Thank you so much for the work. I look forward to booking another appointment if I feel fanciful. I was recommending this spot to my friends immediately upon leaving and will continue to do so.

I live in South Carolina but am a Cali native and wanted a Redwood tree tat from someone that…read moreactually knows what Reds are. I found Ally doing a Google search and know it was Divine guidance that led me to her! From an hour zoom consultation a month out, to a couple hours of chatting about all things tats and life, to a pain free tattoo experience, Ally was the most excellent hostess, fantastic artist, gifted and skilled human. My Redwood tree tattoo exceeded my expectations and wishes by a ton! I'll travel across the country again for my next tattoo - she really is THAT good!! Thank you soooo much Ally! You're a gift to the world!

Ally is known for particularly beautiful color work and extreme attention to detail in creating 3 dimensional effects. I figured something that is going to be worn on my skin for the rest of my life is worth seeking out the very best. But I didn't expect, was to meet such a compassionate, warm, and caring human being as Ally. I also was gritting my teeth because I was expecting to have pain with my tattoo, but Ally uses a completely pain-free method with skin numbing techniques. It's amazing, it really works. I almost never write reviews but I just had such a great experience that I wanted to take the time to comment. Thank you for making me a walking art canvas.

Jason Wayne is my go to guy. I walked in here a little over a year ago to see if someone could do…read moresome waves for me. Jason was in and quickly drew up my idea. Since then, I've gotten probably a dozen tats from Jason (seriously). And recently, one from Kai who is a newer (and super skilled) tattooer. All the guys here are like family to me. Always fun to spend an afternoon here getting some ink and having some laughs. Most of the guys here do pretty traditional work but they are capable of anything you ask for. Jason and Kai have definitely been able to express my own style with their artistic design. Solid work. Shop is super clean. Mac (the owner) runs a tight ship. Single use. Sterile environment. I'll never go to another shop in SC
