Ended up finding a better tattoo shop. would not recommend this place. They truly only care about getting their little 100$ so they can survive in this economy

Short Review: Atmosphere is great! The artist (Janelle) was awesome! I will definitely go back…read moreagain. Long Review: Last week I got a tattoo at Iron Quill. Janelle was the artist I worked with. She was fantastic. This was my 5th tattoo, first at Iron Quill. Like most people, getting a tattoo is still a big deal for me. They are meaningful, each are well thought out, personal, and purposeful. Obviously everyone wants the tattoo to look great, but I also want the experience to be positive. Everyone in the shop was outgoing. The owner bought everyone (including me) subs for lunch. All around it was a great experience. Janelle was super friendly and funny. The tat looks fantastic. I've already told a bunch of people to check the shop out.
