    The artist are very well rounded., The consultation process was super easy.I gave the back story and meaning behind the Ink and Charlie G. help bring my ideas to life! His suggestion on tattoo placement was perfect! Thanks work the wonderful sentimental piece!

    FERNANDO IS AMAZING!!! We have visited quite a few tattoo shops.. this is by far the best. Fernando is very talented. He does not use stencil. He draws freehand and OMG... I am impressed. My 22 year old daughter LOVES her new ink. I'm new to the area and he was referred by a colleague. He will be my my go-to. I highly recommend FERNANDO for some fresh ink.

    My 1st tattoo. Friendly staff. Very clean Jason was my artist doing my tattoo. I knew the cost up front. I highly recommend this place. Jason was great about putting me at ease . He has a gentle and light hand.

    The staff was friendly, Doc redesigned the original idea I brought. I let him be creative with it, unfortunately I gave him too much freedom with the design and tattoo that it came out horrible. He was very sure of himself but did a very poor job on my tricep. The original concept was a bear, looks like a wolf with bear ears. I am really disappointed because not only did I spent $700 on this, now I have to pay extra for the laser removal sessions I have to get done before cover up. The colors and shading look rushed and unprofessional and it sucks having to carry with a tattoo you did not expect it would turn out like that. This has been a nightmare of an experience for me and I am definitely not satisfied one bit with Docs work.

    After 2 sessions. It's still not finished but this is better than I ever imagined.

    This was by far the best experience I've ever had at a tattoo shop! Fernando did two sessions of a huge cover up and it is amazing. I have a couple more sessions left but I know it will end up better than I could've imagined. The shop is very clean and all of the artists are very friendly. The hospitality I received was like nothing I've ever seen at a tattoo shop before. The owner, Gary makes everyone feel like they belong there. You'll feel like you've known these guys forever after just a few minutes in the chair.

I…read morecame here with some friends who wanted to get some piercings done and one of them spoke highly of this place. Outside the building I wasn't expecting much but once we went inside, it had nice setup with a few couches you can relax. The place was well kept, organized and clean. The guy that helped my friends was great. Derek was very informative, knowledgeable and can tell he enjoys what he does. He made sure that the room my friends were in were thoroughly clean and explained what to expect when getting the piercings. He was also teaching someone too while talking to my friends. I think he did a great job making sure my friends were good and comfortable throughout. I didnt get anything but looking around if I do consider getting a piercing in the future, I would consider coming here for sure. They also do tattoos too and some images I saw seem cool so maybe something to think about too.

The place itself is nice and clean. We had the pleasure of meeting Derek for our service. He was thorough, honest, and friendly. Derek has been doing his expert work for 17 years. It was nice to hear someone passionate about what they do. I wanted to get a tattoo but unfortunately they were all booked up for the day. Next time I hope. Definitely don't pass this place up. I was extremely pleased with the service we received as well as how clean they kept everything. A must try if you are in need of this kind of service.

    I got pierced by Frankie on Friday evening, and she was so sweet. My appointment was at 6:20 but I…read moregot there very early because I didn't want to chicken out of my piercing! I was brought back to the piercing studio around 6:30ish. I absolutely LOVE how the facility is by appointment only, and that they require you to wash your hands immediately upon coming in. Because it's appointment only, the lobby area was clear and there wasn't really anyone out there, which I really liked. The music wasn't loud either and it was enjoyable. The facility was extremely clean. Frankie was a gem. I was getting re-pierced and I was very nervous and anxious, and her vibes helped the nerves a ton. I let her know that I have a tendency to get swollen pretty quickly and more than the usual person, and she made sure to give me a longer post to account for additional swelling. Yes, it's a bit more pricier than your typical piercing studio BUT it's worth it and an investment; good work isn't cheap, cheap work isn't good. Their selection of jewelry is again, expensive but absolutely beautiful and high quality. I wish I would've gotten all my piercings done by Frankie! I can't wait to come back and see her for the next one. Thank you Frankie!

    Electric Panther Tattoo…read more If you're looking for a shop with incredible vibes, amazing artists, and top-tier professionalism, Electric Panther Tattoo is it. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming, creative, and absolutely buzzing in the best way. The shop is spotless! Clean, organized, and run with the kind of care that immediately puts you at ease. The artists here are not only talented, but truly professional. They take their time to listen, collaborate, and make sure everything is perfect before a single line is laid down. The quality of work is unreal. I get compliments every day on the pieces I've gotten from Electric Panther, and people always ask where I went. The linework, color, and detail are on another level. If you want a tattoo experience that's comfortable, clean, and produces art you'll be proud to show off for years, this is the place. Highly recommend!

    I visited Electric Panther because I was following their artist Lydia from a previous tattoo shop…read more I have nothing but praise to offer both to Lydia and Electric Panther! First, I have two pieces from Lydia now and while she typically does a lot more intricate work, she never bats an eye to fit me in for a quick and simple design. Both of my experiences with her have been so quick and painless, I cannot recommend her enough. As for the shop, it is a tiny little place that shows up big with wall to wall decoration and funny little assortment of books to read while you wait. During my time there, I observed what was a very obvious camaraderie among the staff. Happy employees are always a great sign that a business is doing something right, and I believe Electric Panther is! I will certainly be returning next time I get a tattoo itch!

    I was a bit nervous going into my first tattoo with Nycole B. at Rings of Fire Tattoo, but she…read morequickly made me feel comfortable and at ease. The first day I went in, I only planned on getting one tattoo but ended up getting a second right then. A few days later, I came back for one more and ended up getting two that day. Her work is fantastic. She's really very knowledgeable and knows a lot about the different layers of skin and how tattoo art works with them. She takes an advanced approach, using tablet technology to layer the design perfectly and understands how the skin heals and responds. This also makes the process less painful. I used to use lidocaine when I get work done at home in Massachusetts. However I did not bring any on my work trip, and it hurt less with her than anyone else(even when I forgot my lidocaine) The tattoos came out even better than I expected, and people always compliment them. The other staff there are friendly too, and it's a relaxed, welcoming environment. I'm from Massachusetts and plan to fly back just to get more done by her. (Probably a big piece) If you're thinking about getting a tattoo done, Especially if it deals with Math or Physics. I'd definitely recommend making an appointment ahead of time and bringing a design idea. I like how she is very into what she does and not rushing to get the work perfect. Nycole's the best at what she does.
