Review below but also a "what to expect" for anyone curious…read more I have been wanting to get a tattoo for some time now and finally decided to go with Juan Daniel ("JD") at Glorious Tattoo and could not be happier. I submitted a request for appointment online and was able to schedule. JD used my reference pictures to come up with the design and I was pleased with how the spirit of the reference pictures were captured but brought to life in a unique way to make my tattoo completely my own. The studio itself is clean and tidy. JD was playing calming pop music but as the session progressed into the evening we aligned on what we wanted to listen to. We took breaks as often as needed with a dinner break. I recommend bringing ample snacks and water/fluids. JD was focused for the entire session and we made continued steady progress - there wasn't any rushing nor delays. Pain levels were manageable but did rise as the session progressed. JD was clear on care instructions and made it easy to understand. The shop accepts credit card payments. I'd like to return to get another piece which I believe is the best testimonial that can be given. I would recommend Glorious Tattoo to my friends and family! Thank you JD!

I messaged them on their Instagram account asking about walk ins and the owner, Anastasia, responded super fast. We went around 12 and she told us to come back in about an hour and they'd be able to fit us in. They have a great selection of flash tattoos. Originally we were going to do our own design idea but we fell in love with this small flower design. We both actually ended up getting 2 tattoos because the vibes were just so good! The waiting area is super cute and all the artists were so kind. I also appreciate how transparent they were about pricing. We are so happy with our tattoos and will definitely be back for more!!

This tattoo has been percolating in my heart for over five years, since my father passed in 2020, so it was incredibly meaningful to me. My husband gifted it to me as a Christmas present, and I'm so grateful that Soeen was the artist I was paired with. I first reached out in mid-December for a personal consultation over email, went in-person that same week, reviewed the artwork, made a few small tweaks, and finalized the design and placement together on the day of my appointment. The whole process felt smooth, thoughtful, and collaborative from start to finish. Soeen was so patient, attentive, and meticulous, especially when it came to making sure the placement on my arm felt just right. She really took the time to understand what I wanted and created a custom Asian illustrative design that was way better than anything I could have imagined! I felt truly heard and cared for throughout the entire experience. I live locally in the neighborhood and have always wanted to get tattooed here--I even reached out back in 2024 but didn't pull the trigger at the time. I'm so glad I finally did, and even happier that it was with Soeen. If you're looking for an artist who is talented, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in bringing your vision to life, I highly recommend Soeen. I loved working with her and can't wait to get tattooed by her again in the future!

I had shared I wanted a tattoo of a bonfire in the beach with waves and smoke floating away. I sent photos of the types of waves, flames and smoke tattoos I liked, and some possible design configurations. Since she doesn't share designs in advance, I had to just put down my deposit and hope for the best. When I showed up, I was given a design that Miko herself acknowledged looked weird, but she didn't have suggestions on how to improve it. It took so much time just to try and get it to look decent. In the end the tattoo looks fine, but for the price she charges I would have expected something amazing. I would definitely come back if I had a tattoo pre-designed, but not if I needed help translating an abstract idea into a tattoo.

Another amazing tattoo shop! They are a private studio and only take clients by appointment. There…read moreare two main artists: Kong and Miko with occasional tattooing guests. I first came across their shop on Instagram, and took notice of their fine-line work. The only way to book an appointment with them is by following their links on Instagram. I received a response from them about an hour later. I initially sent it pictures of the idea I had in mind, and we set a google meeting so they could show the design. After the google meeting, I put down a $200 deposit for the actual appointment. To get to the shop, you have to enter through the main entrance at Shops at the Loom, and walk through a couple hallways to find their studio. There is another tattoo shop in the front but that's not them. One of the first things I noticed was that their shop is really aesthetically pleasing; the modern neutral tones with dried plants. The shop itself was clean and very spacious. I think the only thing I noted was that there isn't much room from privacy? I'm not sure if they provide a divider if you're getting tattooed on the rib cage/chest/upper thigh areas. I only planned to get something small, and Kong was really quick and light handed. He confirmed the design with me and made small changes after my suggestions to what I liked. There was a small quip in translation though; I didn't know he was going to do part of the tattoo in red ink but by the time I had asked he was already tattooing it. In the end I didn't really mind because I think it looks great with the red, but it was on me to not question the red heart at the final design agreement. In total, I paid $450 for the tattoo. You can pay cash but they also accept Zelle (they add tax to Zelle payments). It probably seems like the pricier end of tattoos, but you're also paying for craftsmanship. I'll definitely come back for another fine-lined tattoo I have in my mind later down the road!
