We walked in & Bear was finishing up with someone & said he could take us in! The girl up front was absolutely amazing & combined the design I wanted & the design my best friend wanted into one so that it would turn o it being the best of both worlds. They also gave us 3 size options so I went with medium & my best friend with the smaller one! They were PERFECT. I was freaked out because mine was bleeding quite a bit, but after 24 hours, as instructed, we removed the bandaids & everything was fine upon cleaning it!!! We love them!!! Thank you both so much! For not only the art you guys credit but also for the atmosphere in your shop!! ((I want to go on vacation asap again just to get tattood there again))

My wife decided to get her first tattoo. We randomly picked Black Sails and a tattoo artist named…read moreSarah. I had gone in earlier and given her a picture of what she wanted. She met Sarah and she immediately put my wife at ease (she was a little nervous) with her bubbly personality and enthusiasm! She was very happy with the cleanliness and overall feeling of the place. The final result exceeded our expectations! The tattoo looked exactly like the photo. She was amazed at the detail, the coloring, and she felt like the tattoo captured the dog's personality. I firmly believe that Sarah is one of the top artists in the Port Charlotte area; maybe in the state of Florida. Her work is that good! It was such a good experience that my wife might even get another tattoo. Try Sarah and Black Sails Tattoo- you will not regret it.

I was looking for a piercing studio to add to my ear candy collection and after a few phone calls I…read moredecided on Eternal Art. After finding out this studio was the oldest in Sarasota, I knew I'd be in good hands. I wanted a tragus and helix piercing to add to my collection. After discussing the jewelry options (I wanted a simple, tiny rhinestone) we settled on a few and Karen (the owner) began to mark my ear with placements. What I loved about Karen is that she gave her honest and professional opinion on placement of the helix. Where I initially wanted it was not going to be the best option because of the shape and curve of my ear. Being a woman herself, she knew I wouldn't love my initial placement ad recommended a lower helix piercing. I appreciated her honesty. She even asked if my two prior piercings were done by different piercers, which I said yes, and she knew right away they were from different people (because of the placement they did, going off of what I wanted and not taking my ear shape into consideration). I went with her recommended area and I couldn't be happier with results. She runs the show here at EA - a small, woman owned business which resonates with me. Karen is highly professional and personal, engaging and makes you feel comfortable and secure. I couldn't recommend Karen enough! Just an fyi - she's cash only - not a problem but come prepared. Always ask or call to make sure she's available and she can give you an estimate over the phone in what you are wanting. Karen - I'll be back to add more ear candy when I'm in town next.

Stopped in this 'local business' twice to inquire about a very small tattoo touch up as a 'walk in'…read moreclient ~ both times was told to come back at a different suggested time ... completely understandable as they were very busy. Third time I was SPECIFICALLY told to come back 'Sunday at noon'. Showed up that Sunday at noon and the doors were locked. Called the number posted on the front door, left a voice mail AND sent a text message (as instructed on the door) and received NOTHING in response. Nothing. Not a 'sorry, not a 'we're too busy', not a 'job is too small', or just a simple 'Fuck you'. Nothing. Rude, disrespectful of MY time (which is just as important as the next guys, regardless of what one might think) and completely unprofessional. So much for trying to 'support my local businesses'. Found an amazing artist just up the road who did a FANTASTIC job (and who I paid a hundred bucks to ~ plus a tip ~ for that 5 minute job, because I respect EVERYONES time...) and who I will highly recommend going forward. In truth, the rating should be one star ~ but I'm not a complete dick.
