My SIL returned to Evolution Tattoo for a 2nd tattoo. Jon…read moredid our tattoos this time and we love them!!! I got my nickname TIA tattooed on my arm. My SIL got a TOKER POKER beaker bong with flowers. Great pricing! We had an issue with trying to get an estimate and our appts made . We *thought* we had an appt at 5 PM for 2 tattoos, BUT the worker we were texting was not working and no one knew about our appt . This was frustrating, BUT I'm glad we stayed and got our tattoos because John is PRETTY FABULOUS with his lines! My SIL has 4 tattoos and John did 2 of them We travel from the Bay Area to Reno to get the tattoos. I would definitely recommend this place and John!!!

I've been considering getting it re-pierced but put it on hold for so long. Finally, had time. Stopped by without an appointment and was taken care of in 10 minutes. The piercer (who I didn't catch the name) was super to work with. I wanted my hole to be exactly where it was before. She took her time and was very professional. The aftercare information was super. VERY happy with my ear lobes now!

I get compliments everywhere I go! He also has the most laid back, calming energy, which makes the whole experience feel really easy and comfortable. I fully trust him at this point and honestly feel lucky I get to walk around with his art on me. I'm already booked for two more pieces! Do not sleep on his pre drawn designs, they're awesome!

As an overthinker, I'd been putting off getting my first tattoo for about, oh, five years, since I…read moredidn't know what the experience would be like and couldn't seem to find a person that made me feel confident. Lucky for me, I ran into Ron Rash, and I liked him so much that I requested an appointment five minutes later. Although the artists get a lot of the attention, I want to give a big shout-out to the person who runs the front desk. She represents the face of the business by being highly professional, warm, and organized. As a former front-desk person, I know how hard that work is and appreciate how much she put me at ease. Ron was also wonderful: his warm and calm presence relaxed me, and he gave me a tattoo that is so artistically well done that several friends have asked me for his name. Whether this is your first or seventh tattoo, Ron's artistry -- deeply naturalistic but with a bent of the fantastic -- will not disappoint.

Got my 3rd tattoo(and first actual professional ink) done here years ago as an anniversary gift…read more It was flash dragon piece on my back, it was cheap and wasn't done all that well but I liked it well enough as when I wear tank tops, it kinda looks like I have wings sticking out. Now the son of the owner runs the place and apparently he allowed a guest artist to come in and do a Nazi tattoo in their shop. There used to be a time when asking for this kind of thing would get you tossed out of a shop at a minimum and artists would be blackballed from the scene. Totally unacceptable, Jesse.

Went there and City my tattoo artist had good work but I was already feeling nervous with his attitude while he rushed to eat his lunch to do my tattoo. I should have walked away then but was with a friend and wanted to do something fun. I let city know I have especially sensitive skin and he sarcastically responded that all tattoos hurt when that isn't true as this isn't my first one. He was not only rude but while I was on the chair I was the only one who asked for breaks for myself. When I was twitching and trying to hold on he annoyedly asked if I needed to get up. I just wanted my shit done and could hold on the pain. Y'all he didn't even get me any aftercare instructions and was invalidating my pain from the beginning to the end. I let the workers know and city texts me apologizing saying he'd fix it but that doesn't fix an already broken trust between client and artist. Looked cool at the end but because of lack of instructions and more my tattoo ended up burning me and I had to get help from several other tattoo friends and artists. Didn't ask for my money back or for a fix because I don't want my experience to be tied to that. Red has a great vibe and he was my piercer. I wouldn't want to tank his greatness with city's carelessness for me.

She explained everything step by step, checked in with me often, and made sure I felt comfortable the whole time. What really stood out was how thoughtful Jessica was about placement and jewelry choice. She took the time to recommend the option that would suit my face best instead of rushing through it, and she absolutely nailed it. The piercing fits my face perfectly and looks amazing. The whole experience felt professional, gentle, and genuinely caring. I never felt rushed or brushed off, and her calm energy made the entire process so much easier, especially for something that can make people nervous. If you're thinking about getting a Medusa piercing, or honestly any piercing, I highly recommend asking for Jessica. She clearly cares about her work and the people she's working on.
