Josh is the MAN!! --- It's been 10yrs since my last tattoo because my artist moved. Finally decided to support local and give House of Ink a shot. Staff was super friendly and polite. Josh consulted on a simple custom design... did the mock up... emailed me a proof... and we booked the date. --- As far as skills? Can't do better. An easy hand, and very in tune with the client. After three hours in the chair, I feel like I've got a new friend... but I KNOW I've got a new artist. --- Only downside, if you're looking to browse panels of flash to get ideas... there aren't any. Come with your art ideas in mind or in hand and they will custom create anything you want.

Outstanding Custom Tattoo Work!…read more I had a fantastic experience with Madison at Area 51 Tattoo! I brought in a picture of an old drawing and wanted to turn it into a tattoo that would preserve the original artwork and its sentimental meaning. Madison did an incredible job bringing the design to life. The attention to detail is what really impressed me. She captured the character, expression, and unique elements of the original drawing while making it work beautifully as a tattoo. The finished piece is colorful, detailed, and full of personality. It genuinely feels like my original drawing has come to life! Custom tattoos can be challenging, especially when you want to preserve the look and feel of an existing piece of artwork. Madison absolutely delivered. I'm thrilled with how it turned out and love having something so meaningful permanently captured in art. If you're looking for a talented tattoo artist who can take a personal idea and turn it into something special, I highly recommend Madison at Area 51 Tattoo. This was exactly the kind of experience you hope for when trusting an artist with something meaningful. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for quality custom tattoo work!

I spent several hours looking for a trustworthy piercing shop in my area, and finally exhaled when I found Electric Tattoo Parlor! I scheduled an appointment online with Ian for about a week out. I arrived to my appointment on time and Ian was there to welcome me! It was very clean inside and I appreciated that piercings are done in a private room in the back. Ian walked me through the whole process and showed me how everything is sterilized before the piercing. He quickly put me at ease! Ian did a great job with my nose piercing and walked me through aftercare. I was able to get everything I needed for aftercare at the shop. He also has you come back 2-4 weeks after the piercing for a checkup and to swap out to a shorter post! The fact that they have you come back to ensure the piercing is healing well shows that they actually care about the quality of their work. I only had my piercing yesterday, but I LOVE it and I'm so happy with my experience and how it turned out. I have already recommended Electric Tattoo to several friends and will DEFINITELY go back whenever I want another piercing!

I work at a jewelry store and I always suggest to my customers to come here for body piercings due to the excellent service and cleanliness of everything being staral and one time use. I have made friends with the owner Dan who is a rad guy with the right attitude for the business and along with the other unique artists there! Some advice for any first timers, don't go on pinterest for a design and/or technique and expect the artist to do an exact copy. These guys all have a different style and technique to their art and they can make new concepts for your design. I have a half sleeve of different flowers I like but I didn't know how exactly I want it placed or designed, so I had Sunshine (an artist there) who was patient enough to understand my vision and my interest on the piece and worked with me to make the design perfect with different aspects I didn't think of before. That is a true artist to look for! Love these guys and will be coming back!

It was a long time since my friend and I have been pierced, and he put on some sick music that helped relax us and answered all of our questions so it was great.

So we came back about an hour or so later and ended up having to still wait a little bit but, they have a large, comfortable, and very clean waiting area! They also have water bottles available to customers, which I think is smart at any tattoo shop. Everyone was super nice. They run the facility very professionally. By the time the piercer got there, he had a few people waiting other than us but was great about taking his time with my friend. Chris was very nice, professional and extremely clean. He made sure to ask my friend what exactly he wanted and it was quick and painless and affordable! I am loyal to my tattoo artist but if I ever needed somewhere new to check out I would definitely go back. I plan on returning to that piercer to get my nose done! So if you're looking for a nearby trustworthy tattoo shop, definitely check them out. I'll share a few pictures of the waiting area. I did not get pictures during the piercing process because it's a pretty small room.
