Anthony is quite the artist and easy to talk to. The shop has a single chair and everything is kept very clean. He's the owner and works by appointment. Cash only. I know of him due to mutual friends. I've seen several of his pieces in-person, as well as on his Facebook page.

Keith is literally the bomb!!! I have three and all three have been done by him. He is super…read moreefficient but always makes sure you're doing ok during your session. My last tattoo required two sessions because my skin swelled. He is willing to work with you on a price, within reason. The last one, I also told him basically what I wanted but let him use his imagination to put his take on it. Everything was on point from design to color. There is one little part that it looks like he missed but he offers free touch ups as long as the touch up isn't due to not caring for it properly. I really like the new location. It's a little more private than the booths at the other location and the ac is a plus! I hands down will forever recommend underground ink and Keith!!!

I get most of my tattoos from Scott Updike. He is not just a tattoo artist, but he is an actual…read moreartist. I have commissioned him to do a painting for my husband for christmas. He has this beautiful old skool style and amazing use of colors. Robert is also amazing. He remembers tattoos he worked on decades ago. Seriously, he remembers doing one of my husband's first tattoos that he got in the early 2000's. Oh and he does really good work. Check out their portfolios! As for the shop, I know they use clean packaged needles (you can watch them open the package). While they do have flash you can pick and stick, they mostly do custom work. It's in a cool section of town and the exposed brick on the inside is beautiful. My problem is all the scary taxidermy animals in bathroom. They tend to scare the pee out me me. Way to be creepy, guys. I love the artists here. Always check out the site and the work of any artist you decide to go to. Make sure you are comfortable with them.

I was in and out quickly and absolutely love the final product! He came highly recommended from a couple of friends/colleagues and was able to get me in quickly. He understood exactly what I wanted and offered great advice on placement and colors. His work seems vibrant and individualized. Make sure you schedule an appointment to make sure he's at the shop- as he's a one man parlor.

I had no plans to bring this situation to social media, it's actually been over a year, but since…read moreJohn reached out to me today and chose to blame me for being unhappy with a tattoo that was poorly done -- with uneven lines, missing details, and not even centered where I asked -- I feel the need to speak up. I quietly went to another artist to have it fixed because I lost confidence in his work. I didn't cause a scene, didn't bash anyone, just moved on. But after he reached out and made a post about me on Facebook, I can no longer recommend Studio West.

I have, totally in writing, a conversation between me and Derrick Jay about how medically hazardous…read moreit is to take $600 up front and THEN tell people they only get two bathroom breaks or else the session stops. He says that he doesn't think it's hazardous and has never had a problem before. He even cited a client not going to the bathroom for five hours as evidence and that's when I told him that's what it means to be dehydrated. He refused to acknowledge the power imbalance or the danger of holding urine OR clients dehydrating themselves to avoid going. He said I have no authority over him and he's not afraid of the health department or the shop's owner so he will continue. This shop is now fully aware that they are selling a special with medically unsafe guidelines, but Derrick's reason for not being receptive to the information was that I was rude to him. So basically, this shop is willing to risk physical harm to their clients because a grown man got his feelings hurt by a woman on Facebook, because she didn't sugarcoat that he is putting people who may not know any better in harm's way. If they're willing to defend this, what else are they doing that's dangerous that they're not volunteering on social media?
