I recently got tattooed at Crawling Squid by Evan Barry…read more The facilities are super clean, the staff is super friendly and make you feel comfortable and right at home. My tattoo was a traditional tattoo done in the traditional "Sailor Jerry" style, which Evan Barry excels at. He was patient, asked if and when I needed a break, and it was really comfortable and pleasant, as pleasant as getting a tattoo could be. It was obvious from the meticulous way he worked that he wanted the tattoo to be perfect. And it was! I now have an amazing tattoo, which I got at a really great price, and had a really great experience. I'm already contemplating the next piece and am excited to head back to Crawling Squid for more great work. Whether it's your first tattoo, or like me, you're getting more, Crawling Squid is the place to do it.

The flash pieces were larger than than other shops which I loved, and the art was far from your typical run of the mill flash pieces. There was also different price points for each of the sheets which allowed a wide variety of choices within multiple budgets. I will be returning again for a custom piece from Sean.

100% yes on this parlor!…read more There's adequate parking. Very clean establishment. The music was beyond amazing & serene. Which I needed because I was getting an impromptu bday piercing ((Nose stud )). Also had them put new jewlery in my tongue. I cannot emphasize enough how professional they were. How detailed he was with my piercing and explained everything. I do not live near them, however, I will be driving to them for another piercing.

Hello, my name is Maya. I usually don't do reviews, but I decided to leave one for the nice…read moregentleman that pierced my friend's ears (both lobes and one cartilage) and did a small but neat tattoo on my arm. My friend and I had spent all day looking for a shop to pierce her ears and found that almost all the shops reeked of marijuana and lacked sanitary hygiene. We stumbled upon Valhalla modifications and called the shop, spoke to the owner, and he had told us he could take walk-ins. We arrived 15 minutes later, and he opened us with open arms. He was probably one of the most genuine and attentive people I have ever met. His shop was clean and did NOT reek of marijuana. He spent at least 30 minutes explaining to my friend the options for earrings and how they all differ and benefit her. He was extremely thorough. When piercing her ears, he explained how he would pierce them, why he chose the angles he did and also explained to her everything he was doing as he was doing it. My friend and I were comfortable with the choices, and I decided to get the word "strength" tattooed on my right wrist. The tattoo placement and word I had chosen were a little more complicated than other work he had done due to the thickness and style I wanted to do. He told me he would take a little longer to ensure the tattoo looked best. I was okay with that. He had me revise the tattoo multiple times and let him know if I wanted anything corrected. The tattoo remains one of my favorites, and I loved our overall experience. Wes (the owner) is a talented artist! I DEFINITELY recommend this shop and look forward to coming back.

I have wanted tattoos for awhile now, but was uncertain what I truly wanted and where I wanted to…read morego. I got referred by a friend to Manny at Hand Of Faith. I feel like the entire tattoo process can be intimidating and most artists can give this vibe. Fortunately, from the get go Manny was super nice and very cooperative. He makes you feel very welcomed from start to finish. As for the ink: Manny does an excellent job. Not only is he a great artist, he gives great advice and recommendations on what to do for a certain idea that you may have in mind. I personally knew what I wanted, but didn't know where to put it or how to do it. Manny walked me through everything and sketched up ideas that were exactly how I wanted it. I was pretty nervous to trust someone with tattooing my arm the first time around, but after everything, I wouldn't go anywhere else. Manny makes it easy to trust him through his easy nature, and solid ink he can produce. While getting tattooed Manny is super nice and will casually chat with you to make the process a lot better, instead of just inking your arm like anyone else. I have about 70% of my arm full now, all done at Hand of Faith. I would highly recommend going to HoF and seeing Manny if you want to get anything done. He has a very good reputation and has 10+ years of experience behind that. Prices: Prices are good and Manny gives a fair price on all his work. Location: Hand of Faith is kept very clean and organized. Shop has plenty of artwork you can reference or even choose from as well. To sum it up: Well kept shop - good pricing -  great artist.

Upon talking to a coworker who has amazing sleeve of Jacob's art, I was given his contact info. I looked and researched and felt this was the artist I could use for my art. The shop is set up absolutely in an eclectic but modern Business district. You walk in and the vibes and energy are so chill you feel like Jacob has been your friend forever. It is also very sterile clean and inviting. He is professional, gets back to you in a timely manner, doesn't waste ANY time . Helps you decide what YOU want. Gives his professional opinion. It was a great experience for my husband and I. Jacob is a phenomenal artist , you will have to see so for yourself. No regrets We have found our artist for all of our ink desires.

I'm ok with a bit of that, but when you charge $120 for 3 inch line work I'm a bit hesitant. I understand, Noah, you have children to support and you've just opened your own studio. A gentle word of advice, listen maybe a bit more to customers. You have the privilege to display your incredible talent on a living canvas. Please be more accommodating. My short term memory is bad. As said above, I've had more tattoo experiences. You did speak with me about placement. Responding angrily to reviewing a reflects badly on business. Thank you.

When I got to his shop he had some rough drafts ready and got my feedback before starting work. This was my third tattoo but definitely my least painful, even though it was on ribs. Scotty did a great job getting the ink down without really digging into my body. And that was before he put numbing solution on. The lines look hella clean. And the whole process was super chill. Definitely would consider Scotty for anything really big I wanted on my body.

Buyer Beware! I never write reviews, but I got royally…read morescrewed & y'all deserve to know! The lack of communication with Scotty Mac was crazy. I had multiple messages go without reply. I repeated myself multiple times and my requests went unheard. I stuck with him because he came with high review. He asked what I had budgeted, I responded, but again that was ignored! he said he would stay within those parameters, that was a LIE!! I was charged $200 OVER what I said I was comfortable with. I paid $600 for a shotty outline, I sent him a messages to right the wrong and instead of him stepping up he tried to blame me for lack communication! I have it all saved in texts. Not sure what caused him to go down hill, but I'm left with a very poor outline, both missing and random extra lines and a business owner that accepts no responsibility in his actions

Javier at Inkz Tattoo was absolutely amazing and has beautiful work! As soon as we walked in he…read moremade great conversation and made us feel right at home and got right to work designing our tattoos. Work space was spotless clean. His workspace was comfortable and had tvs that he turned on that we couldn't watch while he was working on us. Javier was fast, steady, and clean also not to mention the conversation he made and there was never a quiet moment which was comforting. He talked with passion and there was never a dull moment with him. We went in just wanting black outline of tattoos and in the middle of the session i asked if he did watercolor and the watercolor effect was done on the spot. In which it came out breathtaking and the tattoos went from an outline to a true piece of art popping with color and life. Me and my boyfriend have multiple tattoos from various places but the piece we both got from Inkz Tattoo are the best ones we have on our bodies and can't wait to show them off. Javier is an outstanding artist with a great reputation. We will go back again and again for more pf his artwork!
