Goku Tattoo

If you want to get a tattoo here ask for my boy Willy, this man is talented, precise and knows how to be detailed!

Just had my second session with Adam and I'm extremely happy with the work and excited to continue my sleeve. Very talented artist that was able to take random ideas I had and turn them into a story. Can't wait to see the finished product. Atmosphere in the studio is great. Everyone is super friendly.

My "$200 Tattoo"

My daughter and I went there for tattoos. Simple tattoos. Nothing huge. Nothing out of the ordinary. Brian said they were "20 each." OK. VERY reasonable. Until it came time to pay. That's when we were told that it was a $200 shop minimum! WTAF? There is no signage stating as such! NOTHING!! BAIT AND SWITCH! The BBB is going to get a nice report, as well. BTW...I've attached a photo of my $200 tattoo...

This is just after kiddo finished.  It looks crisper now that it's healed.

I went there with an idea for a tat. Originally talked to Dainte who after hearing me out put me in touch with Kiddo - basically someone who specializes in more realistic looking tattoos. We sketched out some original ideas and then got going. The experience was great. Place was super clean and hygienic. Would recommend. Also think it's funny they got a 1 star review because someone didn't like a poster.

Very nice clean shop. Everyone is nice. All tattoo artist are very talented at their work. Check them out on Instagram. They accept walk ins and also do appointments. I'm very happy with my tattoos done with them, yesterday got two simple tattoos. But have had others done through them. this is my go to shop and I'm already planning my next trip.

Rose Tattoo High Class Studio

Went to high class for my first tattoo at age 68. Felt apprehensive but from phone call to arrival I was treated with professionalism friendliness and people who really were interested in me. It has been three weeks since Kiddo did my rose tattoo and I love it. Super clean establishment. Kiddo was very friendly and informative. Great artist.

Black and grey fish by Kiddo

Kiddo did a phenomenal job on my tattoo. I had an anchor done already and asked him about putting a fish around it and he came up with a great idea and made it exactly how I wanted. The atmosphere is great and the shop is clean. Overall great experience at high class studio.

By far the best talent and service that I ever had in a tattoo shop! Very clean and friendly environment. Hands down no questions ask go get you next tattoo you will be happy!

I got a back piece done by John Bass and I love it. He did such a good job on it and I will definitely be going back again. Staff was so friendly and shop was very clean!

Didn't even get a chance to go in before they were very rude on the phone. Super sad cause they had availability... but now I know why.

Atmosphere Tattoo - Got my eyebrow pierced by Julia Urbancik!! She did an amazing job and was so sweet and nice to both me and my friend!

Super nice place. I went this past Sunday since my ear piercings were kind of closed (my fault)…read more I had sweetest lady help me. She reopened my first hole and pierced my second holes as well. Will definitely be returning.

My best friend wanted to get his eyebrow re-pierced and he found atmosphere tattoo online. We went…read morein on Wednesday afternoon and the piercer hadn't gotten there yet. 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.

I had an amazing experience at Space Cat Tattoo. I arrived there yesterday, an emotional wreck and…read moremet Kevin, who assisted me with the design of a tattoo in memory of my brother, who had recently passed away. I don't think I've ever met a more compassionate and kind human being. He asked me about my family, and how I was feeling. I shared things I don't typically share with people. He is an absolutely beautiful person. I left there feeling so much better. I think he may have missed his calling as a Counselor. I love the tattoo. He is an amazing artist.

She covered the tattoo with a wrap after she said she was finished didn't show it to me. No other artist has ever done that before because they always hand me a mirror and ask me what I think of it. She was pretending to be nice though, so I didn't think much of it. I even gave her a tip when I paid because I planned on coming back to get more. She told me that the tattoo would be more visible after a few days, which I should have known was strange. Days pass and the tattoo was not very visible at all, so I contacted her on instagram because that was the only way I could contact her. She told me to give it about two more weeks for the tattoo to heal and then she could do a touch up. After two more weeks I contacted her and she said give it another week or two for it to fully heal and then she could give it a touch up. After several weeks I let her know that I was having to go back to work because I don't live in the state and asked when she could redo the tattoo because it isn't visible at all. She told me that she was booked for the rest of the month and had no openings even though I had already paid her $300 and tipped her. She got an attitude with me basically like she was trying to create a fight, so she would have an excuse to not fix the tattoo. She wrote me long paragraphs on instagram of nonsense and never in those paragraphs asked me when I could come back in for the touch up. She tried to blame it on my skin tone, but I have other tattoos in yellow ink and they show up fine on my skin. She never took responsibility for the bad job she did and then said that she would not work with me again and blocked my instagram. She made a thousand excuses, but there is no excuse. I was a paying customer and I didn't get what I paid for.

Alright, strap in because this will be long but worth it. I am going to go chronologically. I had…read morebeen looking for a new tattoo artist & studio for a tattoo to document my recent trip to Italy. I had done research, as one should always do when getting something permanently put on your body, (tip for the kids that go out on a whim and get inked) and I came across Sorry Mama. The initial correspondence was via text with Raquel, the studio manager. Raquel was awesome. We had great and timely contact and I set up the initial date and sent a deposit to secure my date/time. I had to change my appointment twice, and Raquel was more than accommodating. I had uploaded ideas of what I was envisioning for my tattoo and sent them over to Raquel. One week before I was set to get my tattoo I had an epiphany and decided that I wanted to completely change gears on the type of tattoo I wanted and messaged Raquel who responded in a timely manner and connected me directly with my artist, Eric/Raven. Eric messaged back and forth over several days and he was more than gracious when I asked for a potential change. Eric sent me two versions of what he had prepared for me. Now let me say that had i wanted additional changes I feel that Eric would have made changes without any issues, but the images that he sent me were so flawless and impressive that I had no need to change a thing, I just needed to make a decision. The choice was actually easy as I wanted to stay true to the traditional Japanese Irezumi art of tattooing. The day for my appointment came and I was so excited for it that I was constantly watching the time. I arrived on time and when I walked into Sorry Mama I was blown away by the vibe, the cleanliness and the overall esthetic of the studio. Eric came from the back and greeted me warmly. We spoke briefly and I filled out the appropriate paperwork and had my DL copied. This studio does things the correct way and is nothing short of professional. I followed Eric back to his space and felt really comfortable not only with Eric but with the space, the lighting and environment. This tattoo was going to take two sessions due to its size and color. Could it have been done in one session, sure it could have been, but I really feel good about having it broken up into two. Eric positioned the overlay and we looked at it and he decided that he thought that he needed it to be moved slightly in order for the placement to be perfect. I was really impressed with that because it showed me that I had made the right choice in studios and artist because it was clear to me how serious Eric is about his craft. Eric got started and we took several breaks, just to stretch out, and six or so hours later we were done for the day. I left with the proper covering synthetic sheet to aid in the healing process as well as the proper balm to use once the barrier was to come off, 48 hours later. I used the balm as directed by Eric and just couldn't stop looking at the artwork. Yes, it as definitely ART! The linework was impeccable and flawless. The healing process was actually easy. My skin wasn't hammered one bit and the whole process was painless for me. Now I realize that each person may have a different experience based on their skin, body placement and pain tolerance, but this being my third tattoo, the process felt great. The final day approached and I confirmed with Eric, via text, and I was super stoked. I arrived at the shop and was greeted warmly, again, by Eric and had a seat while he got things prepared. I had the opportunity to meet the studio owner, Leo. What a cool and chill guy. He was almost more excited than I was about the work that Eric had previously done and that I was so happy with it. Let me also say that during the previous six hour session, which breezed by, the conversation between Eric and me just flowed. There were never any uncomfortable moments and we talked quite a bit about a range of topics. I learned of his journey in the industry as well as many personal things about him. I can honestly say that Eric is one of the most interesting artists and people that I have met. So Thank You Eric, you're amazing. This session was not nearly as long but still over three hours. Breaks were taken, snacks were offered, and then I was all done. I spoke to Eric about my next idea and timeline and he was super supportive and confident. Although I have only had two other tattoos, I have found my artist for life. I will refer everyone that I know, that wants a clearly defined and amazing piece of art to adorn their body to Sorry Mama and Eric or Leo. They both have different artistic styles and I have seen both of their works. I will not be looking any further for my future artwork than Sorry Mama. If you are serious about QUALITY tattoos and want an ARTIST to help design and tattoo you then I urge you to take the step, contact the shop, talk with Raquel and get yourself in a chair!

This tattoo studio is not just any tattoo studio. They go above and beyond to please their clients…read morewhile also being fun and pleasant. Leo is an absolute mastermind when you bring him an idea, he turns it into your tattoo. He is the most humble human being, and just a really sweet guy. Raquel is so nice and concerderate, she is amazing! I did 2 sessions for my tattoo and each time was professional and clean. I even got to pick my own music on the last session. Could not be happier with my tattoo! I love it so much. Looking forward to my next one!
