I've been going here for the past 15 years to get my tattoos - not every year! Two of my daughters…read morehave also gone here. I've always made appointments ahead of time in person. I would talk to the artist and let them know what I was interested in having done and made an appointment for sometime in the future when they had an opening. Today I got lucky and got to have it done right away! Everything is always clean and the artists are nice and always make sure they're on the same page with you. All protocols are followed. I have never felt like they rushed through getting ready and I really appreciate it! I'm adding some photos to this review. These are some of the tattoos my daughters and I have and they were all done here! These people are artists! I've taken in some very basic ideas of what I want and they come up with some really cool ideas. I've had some people say they would feel uncomfortable since they're older - they feel like they wouldn't fit in. I'm 65 years Ike and I have never felt uncomfortable, or like I didn't belong. They're professionals doing their craft! I'll definitely be back when I'm ready for another one!

Impromptu piercing and girl hang. Saw the high reviews on here and walk-in friendly so we ventured…read morehere. I got my triples pierced and my friend got her nose pierced. Julie was so chill and thorough and answered any questions I had. I really appreciated the amount of detail and info she gave me as she was doing her thing. I always like to know what exactly someone is doing step-by-step and that's exactly what Julie did for me without having to ask. After giving our IDs, Julie went in the back to prep the room while we signed the paperwork. I went first and then my friend went shortly after. While we paid I noticed there were some cleaning sprays which I needed to get more of. They highly recommended this bottle I got saying it'll last a long time but to only spray up to 3x instead of what the bottle says 3-6x per day because it will dry it out. I loved that they didn't try to push me to buy it I just knew I needed it! When I got home I scanned it on the Yuka app (scan beauty products and food and they'll tell you how clean it's made or if it has any bad ingredients) and it scored 100/100 which I've only seen on a few items so I'm so so so happy I decided to get it! I have two more piercings I wanna get done and I will definitely come back for Julie!

Super grateful for the folks at 13 roses. The ease of scheduling and attention to detail were…read moregreat. I reached put, got some designs made, and got scheduled all within a week. Which, seemed fast because I know when my partner got their first tattoo it took over 2 months from design to schedule. The interior is dope. They have plenty of tvs playing movies to keep you entertained. Additionally, the decor is great. Lots of contemporary, playful artwork that meshes well. Heather was my artist and she was amazing. The attention to detail is superb and she whipped up exactly what I was looking for. She got me in and out super quick while delivering an impeccable product. Not sure when I will be getting more work done, but it'll certainly be done at 13 roses!

My mom and I went here on my 19th birthday in January to get matching tattoos. We were wanting to…read moredo our fingerprints in a heart. I was already on the fence about this place when an older gentleman kept being low key disrespectful to us. We told him our idea and he then proceeded to tell us he has non of the stuff to help us with the literal tattoo design (ex. Ink to press our fingers on to get our prints) we had to go to the bank next door and ask them for ink and I honestly should've let them tattoo us then this guy. Once we came back with a bunch of prints he proceeded to tell us they're all bad, but can manage one of them. I wish I told my mom to leave but she wants to see the good in everything but I'm so upset that I didn't push her more that day. I've gotten two decently sized, detailed as fuck thigh tattoos that have taken an hour. But these took 2 hours!! Probably because he kept taking smoke breaks. Literally in the middle of our tattoos he would go smoke -_- I'm only writing this now because I looked back on a picture I took of the tattoo the first night I go it vs now. Also there is a big lumpy scar by wrist from this tat which is.... You know what... I hope this was helpful in picking wether or not you should come here.

No matter what I come up with in the future Eric and Scott are going to be there to continue the job. I love showing it off because it looks great!! Come to see them at their NEW LOCATION by Carol House and Bobby's Place. You'll SEE the talent that I see. Both guys are good conversationalists and want to discuss how they can give you the best tattoos and piercings in the area! I've visited the others and after 16 years with Scott and Eric it reaffirms my choice. So come on, make friends and grab a brew next door!
