Tracy's portfolio speaks for it's self! I love the fact that he does creative custom work. He is an actual artist, not just a copy the latest flash tattooist. I gave Tracy a grouping of photos with different elements that I liked about the wings, told him the concept I wanted behind the design and let him go be creative. As for the Face... I told him I wanted flowing long hair around the face revealing a hint of the face itself. I did show him a photo of a ...very good friend that I really liked the attitude of, plus there is a long standing inside joke between us regarding that look. Tracy took elements of that photo and used it for the design of the Guardian Fallen Angel. It is one of those tats that has a lot of meaning and each part of the design has it's purpose. All I have done is the outline so far and I can't wait to go back next week for my 2nd session to see how the drawing develops through out the stages of the tattoo! EDIT after 2nd session..... I really do like what Tracy has done with the detail and contrast soo far. He did the outline based on his design and all of the detail has been free handed as he has continued to work on the piece. I read the earlier review and kinda have to chuckle! Hell, when I stopped at the shop to talk to Tracy about my artwork I sat there for 20 minutes watching that man clean up and sterilize pretty much everything after he finish up a client...he even sprayed down his work lamp with alcohol. I have already recommended Tracy to several of my friends and plan to continue to do so in the future. read more

With years of experience, and im talking 20 plus this tattoo studio has an awesome collection of previous work done by tracy ( the owner) and his associates. From first timers to old timers touchups to coverups Tracy is very informative and creative towards each and every tattoo and its host. Tattoos arent meant for everyone of course, but it wont be an experience you'll regret. I cant speak for everyone but I will say that in my experiences from my first time to watching this artist at work I have never seen anyone who plans these masterpieces so carefully take his time preparing his studio each day sterilizing his equipment to be sure that every tattoo is just right and the environment is friendly and safe. For certain people who find pleasure putting this hard working artist down because in her opinion the visit wasn;t pleasant, Everybody has their own opinion!!! Tattoos do fade in time though, And sooner if you do not take the steps necessary which Tracy will go over with you. You can read these reviews all day long but you'll never be able to say you love your tattoo from Gunslingers unless you call Tracy up. And for the quality work you'll recieve it doesn't put a hole in your pocket. As for hayleys review Very Incorrect Tattoo fading is caused by lack of responsibility in tattoo care or many many years time, The service is great. The Knowledge you'll find here is double that of any nearby studios combined. Are you willing to let some kid just out of art school draw a permanent ink design on you or someone with more experience ? read more

Not sure why my last review disappeared, but I'm happy enough with my trip to Gunslingers to put up another one. Gunslingers was originally recommended to me by a friend currently getting her sleeve done. As suggested I went to the website to checkout Tracy's portfolio and was really impressed! I saw a lot of creative, fun and wonderfully executed designs. http://www.gunslingers.../ Photos are great but the proof is in the ink. I waited to see the piece she is getting done and after only 2 sessions with Tracy, I was sold. Her tattoo at that point wasn't even half way completed and it is already better than most of the work I currently have on my body. Cool, very cool! I also like that Tracy works with you to developer the design of your tattoo. He was more than willing to alter the drawings to create the look I'm going for on my back. He is very up front about what will work, sizing and really goes the extra mile to make it a show quality tattoo! Also as a side note, they also carry a lot of fun jewelry, purses and shirts. I found at least 5 belly rings I want. read more

I stumbled across this place on line when I recently moved to the area and went looking for a Tat Shop. Sweet custom artwork. Did a walk in to chat with the artist about some ideas I had and definitely liked the portfolio of his pas work. Sat there for a bit as he finished up a piece. Great definition on the design, the details popped and the colors were looking pretty sweet, as new tats often do. Spoke with the client, general chit chat, and he showed me an earlier piece done by Tracy as well. Colors were still decent for a 3year old tat. Hey, it really does come down to how well you baby your ink! I work construction so I tan, therefore I fad, my tats that is...hahaha. I scheduled my piece and a year later it still rocks! Tracy has talent, the work is solid and the shop is clean, so it gets a thumbs up from me. read more

I would reccomend this shop and artist to anyone looking for great quality for their money. I recieved my first tattoo here About a year ago, to start with the preparation and decision making for my artwork was a breeze. With my custom drawn tattoo ready to go we proceeded on to the final product which was better than i could have imagined. admittedly I was afraid of the needle but it was a smooth easy process it didnt hurt at all. After taking care of my tattoo with the provided instructions i have a great looking tattoo The shop appeared to be well maintained, and cleaned. The artist tracy wore all the necessary protective gear, and the same with his tools and such. All in all the experience was very professional and I will return again. read more

Definately recomend this studio/artist to anyone looking for excelent custom tattoo work. Give Tracy an idea and he'll make it happen! Studio and working environment is always clean and Tracys preparation practices are visibly sterile. I have been going to the studio for many years and have numerous pieces that Tracy has customized way beyond any expectations that I've had. It was as though he knew exactly what I wanted without me saying. I have attended many different tattoo conventions/competitions and have received several certificates and trophies for his work. I wouldn't go anywhere else...you have a customer for life! read more

The first reviewer obviously doesn't know what she's talking about. I got my first tattoo from Gunslingers about five years ago and it looks as good as it did back then. Since I've gotten three more all with the same great quality and have recommended Gunslingers to all of my friends. They all feel the same way I do. The studio/artists are very clean and professional to the highest degree. Don't listen to the first reviewer at all. I recommend this studio 100% read more

I would highly recommend Gunslingers for tattoos! I just recently got a tattoo covered up that other places said that it was beyond fixable. Tracey was very prefessional and didnt make me feel bad about the old tattoo that I had, and did an awesome job fixing me up. It was very clean and saw that the needle he used was opened in front of me. My wife will be getting hers done there real soon and I cant wait to return to get another!!! read more
