    This place is awesome. I walked in on a Wednesday afternoon and one of their artists, Chris Stoll, was able to take me immediately. He drew up exactly what I wanted, and executed it perfectly. I was in and out in under an hour!

    In March 2019, I walked into Red 5 looking to have a blown out tattoo covered. I was lucky enough to be seen immediately by Rob who ended up covering the old tattoo and adding a flag to my forearm. This past month, I started seeing Jude to finish working on my sleeve. So far, he has added my lotus flower and Phoenix. I've sat with him for about 5hrs total. The moment you walk into Red 5, you'll notice that it's exceptionally clean. Everyone is friendly and helpful which is great. But what's even better is the talent they have at Red 5. I now recommend everyone I know to get their work done here. Because of Covid, they are doing appointment requests via email and there is a wait to be seen since I would say this is not your average shop. The artists all have waitlists but that's understandable.

    This was my first time getting a tattoo here and I was very happy with the whole experience. I have been following a lot of the artist on Instagram for a long time and was ready to get something done. The shop is very clean and has a great atmosphere. It's a lot bigger than I thought! I like how there are individual rooms instead of a big open room. I had an appointment at 6 with Chris Stoll and was out of there by 6:30. He breezed through the tattoo but gave me exactly what I wanted. I will definitely be back to add more floral pieces to my arm from him!

    Chris GARCIA!!! Masterful work on my dads Portrait   Looking to have my Mom done now  Hoping to see you soon

    2in Tattoo - Anna

    We called to see if they do walk-ins and they said first come first serve & to come on in, we were close by so no one was ahead of us! In and out in 30-45 minutes. We were picky - Anna and Walker were more than happy to accommodate. I appreciated how much time they took with our placement, and Walker mirrored the "devil" tattoo so it would face mine. Anna made sure our Tattoos were going to line up by having us get together, and even offered to take a photo for me before the wrap went on! We come for vacation and will be back next year!

    This is the 2nd tattoo I have got from Ant at Red 5. He went above and beyond. I recieved this tattoo an it was 10 times more than I expected!!! I would recommend this parlor to anyone the staff is super friendly and even more professional. In fact my wife is going there also!!!

    (Update below 2/17) This is just part 1 of my review. I'm all scheduled to go on Saturday! So, I will update my experience soon...but hey, 5 stars up front? Let me tell you why... My friend and I have been doing some traveling around the city from tattoo shop to tattoo shop, searching for a place that was just right. We needed to take everything into consideration including the right vibe, a personable and honest staff, cleanliness, recommendations, good first impressions, prices, and more. Red 5 pretty much fit the bill. When I walked in, the place had a really good vibe to it. The studio was spacious and modern. There was a good amount of people waiting, and it was a Wednesday night! We were greeted right away and the receptionist was knowledgeable and funny. She made a great recommendation for an artist, Anna, and after checking out her portfolio, I knew she was who I was looking for! Luckily, she was there. She shared her thoughts and ideas about my design and made me feel very confident about what it would look like after she put her spin on it. She was very personable as well. It was seriously meant to be because I wanted to go in this weekend and a client had just cancelled, so she had an open spot! I am so excited for my session on Saturday! I'll be back for part 2 of my review... Okay, PART 2! I came back to Red 5 a week later for a coverup, and I am still in the 5 star range. YES, that's right....I went back twice since my first review last week! I booked Anna because what can I say, she gets me and her art is amazing. So, about last time....everything that you would want to go right, went smoothly. My friend and I were greeted at the door and we started right away. I was worried about the design, because I knew Anna would have to redraw it to make it work. We had to make a tiny adjustment, but her ideas made loving it more easy. My friend got her first tattoo and had a great experience as well. Anna was super friendly and informative/comforting towards us. I definitely felt at home there. That's why I came back for my cover up!!! Again, Anna worked with me in placement and design ideas. She wanted to be sure it was just right and that I'd love it. I trusted her, even if we needed to free draw parts of it. So, final verdict - the QUALITY and PASSION that you see at this studio is unparalled! The door was continuously revolving with clients booking appointments! I would recommend this business to everyone looking to get a tattoo, old or new! Now, ...what to book next???? Haha

    Red 5 is the place to go to get your Tattoo! Brett Spickard does an amazing and outstanding job! I have never had anyone take the time and care to make sure that the Tattoo you are getting is perfect! He is truly an amazing artist! My tattoo is perfect in every way! He has a client for life now!! The Red 5 studio is very clean and very well run. The staff is very friendly and personable. I really can't say enough about Brett and Red 5. An all around an outstanding experience!

    2nd session
    Morgan F.

    Was blown away!! Just had my first session with Brett Spickard and I couldn't be happier with how it's coming along. A lot more was done than I had expected and it flowed quite nicely. Already made my second appointment and I can't wait!!! Update: After having the finish project, I am more than happy with how it turned out! The attention to detail is absolutely amazing and I love it! I told him what I wanted and he drew up exactly what I was looking for, but better!! Will definitely be back for more!

    Saw they we're doing walk ins and decided to get a tattoo out of the whim. Great vibe and Anna was great! Her lines are incredible!! Can't wait to get my next one.

    Ashley R.

    Very clean studio, professional and talented artist. I got seven tattoos done at the studio and never had a bad experience. Very happy with my artist Anna, she brought all my ideas to life. She is talented, professional, and very friendly. Highly recommend booking your next tattoo with

    Another tattoo done by Chris!
    Kayla C.

    This place is just amazing! I went in for another tattoo and had another great experience. I called to see if they could take 2 walk ins for small matching tattoos, the lady up front said yes. We get there and Chris squeezed us in to get our tattoos done. We reminded Chris that both me and my friend had gotten tattoos done by him and he remembered. He is great, he did excellent work in short time. I also really liked how my friend went first, when she was done he cleaned his entire area before doing me next. Really clean place with wonderful people. I have recommended people there and have gotten work done by Chris. Keep up the good work guys!

    My Octopus tattoo by Jude!

    Went for my second session today with Jude!! He totally made my idea better than I could imagine. Honestly haven't seen anything come out of there that wasn't awesome.

(@chris_h_art_ink) Now called Seven Cities Tattoo Co., my artist, --Chris H.-- did my *two* new tattoos. He squeezed me in on a Saturday and gave me a beautiful chrysanthemum tattoo. We couldn't finish the other flowers as we ran out of time, but he didn't leave it incomplete. I messaged him halfway through the next week with a question about the healing process. He answered my questions thoroughly, and then mentioned he had an opening the following Saturday to finish up the tattoo if I wanted, and of course I took the opportunity. He finished my tattoo up with a beautiful arrangement of gladiolus! He didn't block it off either, so if I want to add more, I could (most definitely will!). He listened to my requests of no harsh black outlines and that I wanted it in the same manner of my previous 8 year tattoo. He asked what colors I was thinking and went from there. Definitely trust the process. I am beyond thrilled with the work. Chris was really nice and kind, and very realistic and practical about the whole process from booking to aftercare. The shop has great vibes and it's very calm. The decor is fun and whimsical, the tattoo area is spaced out nicely, and you can watch them clean the areas up after they're done so you know it's clean. I enjoyed my experience here, and I'll keep coming back so long as Chris is here.
