My wife and I did a lot of searching online for an artist that had that certain touch when it came to both realism, as well as ability to be whimsical. We were blown away by his portfolio on IG. When we first met him, we knew we made the right choice. No fluff, no BS, just straight up honest man. What you see is what you get. Professional but down to earth. Extremely talented but not an arrogant jerk. Listens to you as the client and gives his professional opinion on how to make your ideas really stand out while still staying true to your want. I wanted a Demon Hunter (metal band) logo with a sword through the skull and a Scripture verse. He drew it up and explained how to best incorporate everything. After settling into a comfortable lounge chair (I had the option to sit up, lay down or lounge), it was on to getting a work of art that I've been wanting for a long time. Between the music playing, the conversation and actually feeling relaxed, it was the best tattoo experience. Look no further than Manny of Grit and Stone for the tattoo of your dreams. Not only did he take on my religious tattoo, but also my whimsical Mickey Mouse tattoo. You can't pigeonhole the man into one style. He's a man of many abilities. The man is as talented as they come. If you have to wait a month or two to be tatted by him, do it. His art is worth it.

In the middle of June I got a Celtic design about 8 inches long that has healed very nice so far and I love the look. That being said, I have never felt so uncomfortable at a tattoo shop and I have a whole sleeve and back pieces done as well so I've been in a few. Carl was so rude from the time I walked in to the time I left. He made terrible comments on my other tattoos and told me the WHOLE TIME how shitty they would look in 10 years and that I made poor choices. He proceeded to point out every single flaw that he considered my tattoos to have - including things which are intended and not flaws. He told me that a tree that I have looks like weeds and that "he just doesn't understand it". I love every single tattoo I've ever gotten and I will continue to go back to the shop I go to for all of my future work. I will never go back here again simply because of Carl. He also took frequent cigarette breaks (3 in the 2 hours I was there) and continued to tattoo while breathing the smoke at me. He was one of the cockiest people I've ever met in my life and talked so much crap about other tattooers and other people the whole entire time I was there. I actually cried when I got home and he made me regret getting tattoos in the first place. Seriously do NOT go to Carl if you don't want to cry lol. This is not about Matt at all- I've heard beyond great things about him but I'll never go back simply because of Carl.

I also love that it's so open so you can talk to the other artists while you're there and get there input and collaboration. The shop is clean and beautifully decorated. Street parking is usually pretty easy to find. All of the artists here are very talented and you can find one that will fit what you want very easily.

I wanted to get a colorful memorial piece in 2022 for my late cat. After searching around for a…read moregood local color tattoo artist, I stumbled upon Gabe Levitt. I reached out and scheduled an appointment. Communication was clear and there was a deposit upon scheduling the appointment. The over all price was a bit high for me. But for the size and detail of the piece I believe the price was very fair. Upon entering the building it has kind of an open space loft kind of feel. With a small art gallery and prints and stickers from local artists for sale at the desk. Gabe was attentive and took me to a table to get my art that I wanted done and work on the design a bit more. The communication was on point the whole way through and about 5 hours later I had a wonderful new tattoo to remember my cat by. Its one of my favorite tattoos and healed really well with the second skin.

I contacted Arboreal Ink because I wanted to get my ears pierced. I have had this done twice before years ago at cheap mall kiosks, but the holes never healed, and ended up closing up. After a short email conversation with Britt at Arboreal I made an appointment. Britt is fabulous, and I can't say enough good things about her and my experience here. She spent so much time talking me through the process. You can tell that she loves her job, and has a lot of experience to back that up. We were able to work around the scarring from previous piercings, the new ones were quick and (almost) painless, and I am very happy with the results. Highly recommended!
