Some shading left to do on the next visit! But you get the idea! Love it!
Mariano L.

Just had some work done at Raw Ink. Matt was the Tattoo artist that did my work. I have to say that of all the other tattoo studios that I've been to , Raw Ink is a class act. A premium custom tattoo studio! I had a tribal type forearm tattoo done and the lines are very clean, detailed. I'm getting all kinds of compliments from friends and my wife liked it so much She told me I should go full sleeve! Thanks Matt! Oh, and they are reasonably priced!

Worst tattoo I've ever received. Stay away from Raw Ink and Bobby.

This is something I've been meaning to write for a very long time. A few years back my best friend and I were looking to get matching tattoos. We finally decided on a design and I had heard great things about Raw Ink and Bobby so I we went to go check it out. We spoke to Bobby, got a quote and set up our appointment. I couldn't have been more excited. Little did I know things were about to go so wrong. A few weeks later my friend and I showed up for our appointments which were scheduled to start at 3pm. When we arrived we were told that Bobby wasn't in yet and we were ushered to the waiting area. After waiting a total of 4 hours we were finally brought into the studio by an assistant at 7pm. When Bobby finally walked in he had cuts all over his face and was carrying multiple boxes of band-aids. The only explanation we received for his lateness was "Sorry, there was a band-aid problem." After getting his "band-aid" issue under control we were finally ready to start. He laid the stencil down on my best friend and it immediately looks wrong. I guess this should have been the first sign that we should have got up and left but for some reason we decided to stay. After all was said and done we both had hideous tattoos that looked nothing like what we asked for. (by the way if you can't tell from the photo I don't blame you its suppose to be a diamond) We went back the next day and complained but he was incredibly unprofessional about the matter. We later heard from friends that he had gotten into using hard drugs around the time that we had our work done and things started adding up. I advise everyone to stay as far away from this shop as possible.

Jason did an amazing job on our matching family tattoos.

My Dad's been going to Bobby the last 10 years for all his tattoos, so, when I was looking to get work done, I went straight to Raw Ink. Bobby was booked out, no surprise... but, we were able to make an appointment with Jason. He listened to our idea, and was able to stencil out the design exactly how we imagined it. He was done with each of ours in about 10 minutes, and gave great instructions on the healing process. Jason also guarantees his work for life and offers free touch ups. They also have an entire side of the shop set up for live music and events. If you live in the area, check them out. As for the shop, imagine an estate sale for a rock in roll legend. That's the vibe when you walk in. Tons of cool, random, stuff everywhere. Definitely a happy customer. I'll be back again in the fall to get another piece done.

Done 3 years ago. All healed and perfect (still)

I always go to Matt Leo. He's a great artist, he cares about the quality of work he does, and he listens. If he suggests any changes, he will discuss them with you before hand and explain why it would be a better choice than the former. I went to see him 3 years ago, and again 2 years ago. When I had my dagger tattoo done, he had a very similar design painted by him and hung on his wall. He asked to incorporate his design in with the one that I had shown him. As someone who appreciates art, I love that! It's truly special to have a custom/original piece from an artist. Give your artist creative control! You won't regret it.

I honestly love this place, I got my first tattoo here and I just keep coming for more. Also got my boyfriend hooked! Thanks Matt Leo for such a great experience! Can't wait for another appointment! All of my art has healed great! Thank you Raw ink

My son had his first tattoo done at Raw Ink 6 years ago when their shop was up the street from where they are now. I went in this past Tuesday (11/15/2016) afternoon and they took me without an appointment. Matt was my artist. I gave him 3 pictures of what I wanted. He took them and turned them into exactly what I envisioned! He did all 3 tats within 2 hours. He had nice music playing, I was so relaxed that it didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would. It actually hurt more the day after I had it done!! He explained everything thing he was doing and why. The cost was VERY reasonable!! I will be going back! Both my boys have appointments to have there tats done! You can't go wrong with Raw Ink!!

She is super personable to talk to - that my session went by pretty quickly - and so skilled at what she does. I sent over two inspo pictures and she got the design just right with the font, spacing and even delicateness of the letters! I absolutely love it. I normally get skin hives from environmental stressors but my tattoo was only slightly red immediately after and not hiving at all in the recovery. It is healing really well, too. The business itself is also very welcoming and bright. I cannot recommend this business and Maddy enough!

I came to Wicked Goddess after my 9 year old daughter told me she was ready to get her ears pierced. alright, easy enough. I knew I wasn't going to take her to Claire's & I was worried about piercing her ears while they would still be growing. in comes Rachel, who came highly recommend on the Google and reddit. I booked the appointment for the end of November for Rachel since I figured this would give my daughter enough time to back out if she changed her mind. she did not. so the day after Thanksgiving, we went over to Mosaic to get her ears pierced. they let her pick out her earrings first and were so great. they let her hold the earrings up to her ear to give her a visual and gave her plenty of time to pick. Rachel sanitized everything and took her into the piercing room once she was ready. Rachel marked her ears a little higher up so when she grows, it'll be more centered as she got older. then came the first piercing, which my sensitive soul daughter took very personally. she refused to get her second ear pierced claiming she couldn't go through with it. with Rachel, my SIL, my husband and I trying to provide positive encouragement to continue on. Rachel ended up giving her the option to go grab some lunch to relax after the first piercing and to come back after. after our ramen lunch, we went back to get her second piercing. obviously it wasn't an easy task getting her to go through with it. I ended up having her sit down on my lap with Katseye playing just so Rachel could finish it. so to the amazing Rachel (who just came back from maternity leave!!), thank you! my daughter loves her piercings now and can't/won't stop looking at them. Rachel honestly has the patience of a saint even after my kid screamed bloody murder in her piercing room. if you're looking for a fantastic piercer for your child, I'd go to Rachel. she's a mother herself and understands children. she's soft spoken and really strives to make sure your child is comfortable and ready. not related, but there's free parking in the garage across the street. don't be an idiot like me who paid for parking in front.

It obviously rubs off to his team as they are ALL amazing artists. Fernando did my full arm sleeve and the amount of people that stop me to talk about the work is astronomical.

When you sit in the chair here whether it be a tattoo or piercing listen to when I say, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY about the quality of either as they surpass the expectations every time. 10/10 Recommended.

I'm disappointed to have to update my review but my recent experience make it necessary. I went…read moreback to Embassy Tattoo for another piercing (a conch) and had no issues. I asked a question about my original cartilage piercing and I was told that the piercer used a barbell that was too short and there was no way for the piercing to swell and heal properly. My earring was changed but I was charged for a new earring, even though they used the wrong one in the first place. A few weeks later I was cleaning the conch piercing and the earring fell out, and because it was a small earring that screwed into the back, it was not easy to put back in myself or with my husband's help. I called Embassy Tattoo to ask if they could put my earring back in for me, and they said they weren't taking jewelry changes that day because they were running a special for only new piercings. When I said it wasn't a new piercing, it was a 3 week old piercing that fell out, they told me it didn't matter and to stop by the next day. I definitely wasn't waiting a day to put a new piercing back into my ear when it was throbbing, swelling, and would definitely close by then. I went to another tattoo shop nearby who, after saying a new piercing should not have been a screw-in earring, changed the earring for one that snapped in. They also took a look at the new piercing and the original cartilage I got at Embassy Tattoo and said both were pierced on an angle which makes it harder to heal (as I've been experiencing over these last few months). While the staff at Embassy Tattoo are great, I don't see myself going back to after this.

Due to the permanency and an awareness…read moreof my own OCD and perfectionism, I was stressed about getting everything exactly the way I wanted it. Seth was remarkably patient and worked with me to meet my requests on every last detail (size, aspect ratio, position, ink). (Embarrassingly, I asked him if we could move the template we transferred onto my skin 5 times for one tattoo, having to wipe it away and reapply it. It would have driven basically anyone crazy, but Seth was laid-back and understanding throughout.) The price was also very reasonable. As others have mentioned the private studio was clean and seemed well organized. Honestly, vibe at the studio is not something I care about (I just want a great looking, safe tattoo), but it did have a nice feel. In my case, I wanted something very specific (and relatively simple), rather than something creative from the artist. I got exactly what I wanted, and it looks perfect. Since this was my first, Seth also explained every step of the process to me as we went. In terms of safety, I saw all his new, packaged needles. (One thing I didn't verify was how he sterilized any reusable parts. ...something you could do yourself if you're inclined.) I'll definitely return to Seth for any future tattoos.
