In doing my research for a black and grey realism tattoo artist in the Jacksonville area, I found…read moreMelissa Ferranto of Elite Tattoo Gallery. She was great to work with, really listened to what I wanted, and delivered on point. It's obvious how passionate she is about her work, as well as the clients she works with and the connection between them and the tattoo artist. Elite Tattoo has an open and welcoming environment. The staff was very friendly during both my consultation visit and the day of my tattoo appointment. Upon walking in, one of the things that impressed me the most was that instead of the walls being covered in tattoo work, it was instead covered in original art works from the tattoo artists. This is a great way to show off their extended creativity. If anyone in the Jacksonville area is looking to get a tattoo, I highly recommend calling Elite and setting up a consultation.

I just got my nose pierced at Unique Ink and they did an excellent job. My piercer (never got her…read morename but she had dreads) was friendly, professional, and very quick. She was thorough with aftercare instructions and made the experience enjoyable. Their shop is very clean and well kept with a private room for piercings. The prep and piercing took no more than five minutes. It is healing up wonderfully. This shop has been around for about 10 years which says a lot about them. If you're looking for a good piercer, go to Unique Ink! Note: if paying with card, there is a surcharge but this is common for tattoo shops. Cash is recommended.

I've been getting tattoos by Stephen Taylor for almost a decade now. I've met him at conventions,…read moreat studios he was guest spotting in, and traveled to NC for appointments. He never disappoints with the quality of work. He's done several coverups for me and they all turned out amazing. He did my full back piece and currently we are working on my full sleeve. Forever grateful to have found him years ago!

The best thing about this shop besides the phenomenal talent, is the vibe. I never felt out of…read moreplace or unwelcome. Each tattoo artist has their own niche and they'd be the first to tell you if they thought what you wanted done would be better suited with another artist in the shop. They are all very passionate about what they do. I usually book with Stephen and it's great because often my tattoo comes with a side of knowledge and always humor.Bethany has also tattooed a beautiful book themed piece for me and while doing so we talked books. There were two times I went back for a touch up (very very minor) and more so because I wanted to add this or that to the original design. I was nervous because I wasn't sure how that would be received. That was a ridiculous notion on my part because as fun as they are, they are equally as professional. I cannot recommend this shop enough, 5 pieces and counting. I included the day they were done and a few years later.

I'll start this review by saying I'm not good with pain AT ALL. I was completely apprehensive about…read moregetting a tattoo and inflicting pain upon myself. Unfortunately I wasn't the brightest in my 20's and got a man's name on my rib cage of all places. I shopped around at few tattoo shops and my last stop was Stout's House of Pain. Just based upon vibes alone I already trusted ED with what I had in mind. To my disbelief it actually became a fun and easy going experience. The man is awesome, personable, and somehow got me to laugh when I wasn't in the mood, lol. His work is amazing and he delivered well above any expectations I had before choosing him as my artist. If you need any work done, he is your man. The place is also extremely clean and they have a really friendly staff. 5/5 this is the place to go.

We had our wedding bands tattooed in 2017 & touched up in 2018. Today we had a sunflower & Marine Raider patch tattooed on my husband and me. It was another great experience with Andrew for us both.

So I was going to get a tattoo done by Lisa D Tattoo at 111 Western Blvd here in Jacksonville. She…read morestarted sending me DMs after seeing a comment I posted under a friend's post about tattoos. Everything seemed cool at first, I sent her the pics of the tatts I wanted and scheduled the appointment for this Thursday. She tells me deposit is $100 via messenger. I told her I could pay her the next day (it was late Saturday night) on Sunday once I was off work at 6pm. She tells me she only accepts Chime payments which seemed weird claiming she doesn't handle cash or any other form payment. After talking to my husband it seemed sketchy I've never had an artist tell me they only deal with CHIME. I messaged her back and told her to cancel the appointment (this was on Sunday) and decided to just go to someone who was referred by a friend. I deleted the conversation and went on my day. She starts messaging the next day NOW OFFERING TO ACCEPT CASHAPP and sends me a cashapp tag that didnt seem to match her name. I still didn't respond because its giving weird and sketchy. She then offers to take $20 off...big deal the tatts weren't expensive. So because I would no longer respond to her anymore she decided that she would send me this message. If your that upset because I decided to not let you tattoo me TOO BAD. All you did is prove how unprofessional you are. Watch out and be careful doing business with this one.
