    Great experience here! I showed an inspiration photo and the artist drew his own rendition which turned out perfect!! I would definitely come back here.

    Miguel made my vision come to life. I went in with an idea and came out with my dream fulfilled. It is a small but meaningful piece. I was able to get my dad's signature tattooed on my left wrist area. The ladybugs are for my nickname. They were beautifully drawn. Very detailed. I don't think it could have been more perfectly placed or drawn. This is my first time visiting this tattoo shop, but I do plan to return. And the place is absolutely beautiful and very clean!!

    Avoid getting work done with Miquel . My sister has been doing business with him for about two years so she felt comfortable to send him $800 for the full amount of a cover up. After the first session she noticed her arm being swollen more than usual and her skin had yellow scabbing.... She expressed her concerns to Miquel about a possible infection and he didn't respond . My sister decided not to proceed with the whole cover up and that she'll just get the whole thing removed so she sent him a text about her decision and he said he said he is unable to give a partial refund for the work he already did. I'll be uploading the a picture of the partial "cover up" that she paid $800 for.

    10/10 would recommend! There was a small mix-up with my appointment but the owners were very nice about it and got me all setup. The staff is genuinely nice and welcoming. It's been 10 years since my last tattoo so I was a little nervous. It helped that @MrsPhiltyClean was very communicative about the process. It's so important to feel like you're in good hands because helloooo this is on your body forever lol. I explained what I wanted, showed her a few photos, and she drew exactly what I had in mind. Definitely coming back. Pricing is also reasonable!

    I had Antonio tat me & I am beyond pleased with what he did ! I came in with an outline & he exceeded my expectations! I love when an artist can be truthful & gimme input on what will not only look better but what is more my style. The staff are truly amazing. They make you feel welcomed as soon as you step foot into the shop & they make sure you've been helped right away. With the lil bit of time I was there, I felt like I was apart of the fam even tho it was my first time being there.. you don't get that with many tat shops / businesses. I am definitely coming back for more tattoos in the future!

    Clean shop, small but they worked it well. Decorations nice. Tattoo artist was nice and funny, chill attitude. But prices outrages. I have tons of tattoos and I've never payed this much for my smaller tattoos, and I've been to good shops before. $150 dollars!!! For a bare minimum tattoo because it's "shop minimum" I literally got the bare minimum for a tattoo it's the size of a dollar coin and a outline of a head. Seriously?!! I would have added details or a face or shading, if I was going to pay that much. Don't go here if you want small tattoos because they will rob you

    I've gotten 2 tattoos here with Miguel aka Bounce. The time frame to where they were booked was very reasonable and Miguel was very transparent on pricing and design. When I came in for my second tattoo. Miguel whipped up a sketch based on my ideas and it came out exactly what I wanted. The outcome was dope, the pricing was reasonable, and, the time frame was super fast. I can't wait for this dope tattoo to heal up because this shop has won me over easily. I highly recommend Miguel, this dude is talented. I've gotten a lot of praise for how dope my tattoo came out. I'm definitely coming back and definitely having Miguel do all my tattoos moving forward.

    Excuse this photo.

    Had an appointment still waited upwards of 45 minutes for a nose piercing. I have tons of other piercings. In my nose as well. This hurt like shit and sent shooting nerve pain through the rest of my face for several days. Literally made my eyes and mouth twitch... It's also pierced at about a tilt to my face and sticks upwards out of my nose. So think up, instead of out. DO NOT GO HERE FOR FACIAL PIERCINGS. All that aside it's been over a month and a half and it feels like the healing process has barely started despite consistent care. No joke literal shooting nerve pain up my face for multiple days after piercing

    Miguel did a great job with a piece I've been wanting for a while. I checked out his (and the shops) Instagram and was impressed with his work. I only had two very small tattoos before this one and was honestly a little nervous to do something this big. The shop was clean and chill while doing a pretty good job with the COVID restrictions and guidelines. Not too many people. It took a little over 3 hours to get my tattoo done but I'm really happy with the outcome. I was surprised and grateful to get in with Miguel last minute while I had some time off in the area. He has a chill personality and helped me design exactly what I wanted after I showed him some ideas. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants some detailed work done and will be going back to him for any future pieces.

    I contacted the shop through yelp and the owner got back to me really quick. I sent a picture of what I was looking for and he booked me an appointment with someone in the shop named bounce. AMAZZZING. I normally don't have a picture because my previous tattoo guy would wing it but I wanted my tattoo to be just like the picture and this guy did it spot on. I love the way it came out! Before starting he asked me questions to make sure it was going to be what I wanted. Besides the artist, everyone in the shop was real chill. I'll definitely be going back

Days leading up to it, I was still very worried because I hadn't seen her sketch yet. The day beforehand, she sent me her sketch and I adjusted it to my liking. The next day was my appointment and I had to call her since the building was kind of hard to find. The studio was very clean and professional. I had never had a professional studio tattoo prior to this visit and I was a little worried about the pain especially because of the stipple shading. Ally had a super light hand and the outline was completely fine, and after the pain spray it was basically numb. Another concern was the healing process and I did notice little black flakes coming off and I was a little worried. After a couple weeks, fully healed, the tattoo looks as good as it was when it was freshly done. The session took less than two hours and I think the price was reasonable. Definitely appreciate Ally being my first studio tattoo experience! Thanks again :-)

    Arie was amazing to work with!…read more I reached out to her via email for a custom design and everything went really smoothly. I sent her lots of reference images and the tattoo she created was exactly what I wanted. Her communication was consistent and she got back to me quickly whenever I had questions. I wanted a fine line design with some ornamental touches and I'm so happy with my result. The studio is very welcoming, clean and comfortable. My tattoo was pretty large for my first one, but I felt fine the entire time and Arie checked on me consistently. Applying the stencil took time, but I'm grateful for that because the placement was exactly what I wanted. We ended up going bigger day of and seeing the piece on my body with a stencil was super helpful in getting it right. I really appreciated Arie's calm demeanor & attention to detail! I get so many compliments on my tattoo, and I'm already planning to come back for more. The healing process was a breeze and my skin was never irritated, even immediately after my tattoo was completed. Highly recommend working with Arie and visiting O Tattoo if you're looking for a beautiful piece, that's done by a qualified, artistic professional.

I will be returning and recommending Sean and FTW to everyone!

Got there and was told to put my name on a sheet and didn't sign a waver or form of any sort. Piercer put on gloves and proceeded to touch every surface possible. She forgot about my metal allergy until reminded. Jewelry came in a box of mass supply, cheaply made jewelry like would be found on Amazon, and very unsterile as she was touching all of them and digging through it. Needle was the only thing in sterile packaging. She then got out the wrong jewelry, and was asking my opinion on gauge size which she should know. For the piercing I came in for, a flat back was required for minimal dental wear. She pulled out a curved barbell and when I requested a flat back because that's what's supposed to be used, she stated 'it will damage your teeth either way and you'll have to come back to downsize in a week anyway'. I told her to keep the deposit and left, never seen such an unsanitary and unprofessional piercer.

I can't wear my wedding ring because I've had multiple surgeries and having any jewelry on agitates my skin. We had been wanting to do it for a while so called around to see if anywhere had walk ins available. I called Tattoo 13's sister shop and they directed me there. The person that answered the phone said if I could get there soon they could take me so we went right there and were the first people in. They took us immediately and people started coming in pretty quickly afterwards. Definitely a fast paced shop that gets lots of foot traffic so adjust your expectations if you think you're gonna get right in. We got Nino (@zappyzip on Instagram) and he was really great at being straight with us about what will and won't look good on a finger. We both have tattoos but these were our first finger tattoos so we didn't really know what was realistic. My husband wanted to get the entire date in Roman numerals and Nino very gentle told him that would not be a good idea cause it's just too much writing and that we should keep it simple. He was totally right and we were so happy with how they turned out. Shop was very clean, friendly and professional. I read reviews before coming and could kinda tell the general attitude of the negative reviewers and I'm sure if you come in here and act like a tool or are rude they might get a little spicy with you but honestly everyone here was so nice and talented. Next time we are in the area we are definitely gonna try and book in advance with Nino!
