The shop itself is clean and professional...with a relaxed and welcoming vibe...all the artists are friendly and supportive of each other...which adds to the great energy in the space. I've got a couple more sessions to go...and I'll definitely add a photo once the work is complete...but so far...I couldn't be happier with how it's coming along...highly recommend Slim and the entire Gnosis team if you're looking for quality ink and a great experience.

Terribly unprofessional.

No introduction, "I'm your new artist". Nothing. Walked out. No call asking what happened. They clearly just didn't want to tattoo me.

Walked right in without an appointment and got my son's ears pierced in no time…read more CLEAN establishment. That's big for me. FRIENDLY and very informative. Piercing is done with a needle versus a gun but he was very precise with the location of the piercings and confirmed the placement before the poke. Because of this they do not pierce under 6 yo which is understandable. My son and I have been looking for a good tattoo spot since he's been itching to get one so I think we found our spot. Now it's time to figure out what to get.

But my new dermal has lasted way longer than the rejected one and it's healed so nicely. If it wasn't for Tina I'd probably have two scars on my face. She's so kind. I love that she takes her time to make sure you are 100% satisfied. I also got a new industrial jewelry that she colored also new chest piercings. Every time I visit I always call ahead to ask for her. She's one of a kind and I wish her nothing but success.

He adjusted the design until it was exactly what I envisioned. Shelter Tattoo is has a great vibe--the studio is clean and comfortable. I have never had any concerns about cleanliness around any part of the tattoo process which I greatly appreciate. The shop itself is easy to find and parking is readily available. James is always on time--I've never had to wait at any of my appointments. I show up at the scheduled time and James is always ready a small fact that I really appreciate. Initially, I was a little anxious about knowing what to talk about while being tattooed/if it was going to be awkward, but James is super chill. He's open to chatting or just quietly vibing--whatever is comfortable for the client. There's a reasons I'm a repeat customer. 10/10 experience!
