Nick and Vick are amazing! Not only are they incredibly patient and friendly. They made my friend and I feel super comfortable. As this is not my first tattoo Vick took his time with the script. Making sure it not only looked good, but also be exactly what I wanted. I was a little nervous about the rib area but I was super comfortable and Vick did a fantastic and quick job. I'm so happy. Shout out to tattoo artist who really do enjoy their jobs and make their clients feel super comfortable. Thanks again guys. We'll forsure come back next time visit from Cali. read more

Very unprofessional. This isn't my first rodeo getting tattoos. I don't expect them to role out the red carpet that's not how tattoo shops work. I do expect a clean space which it was. I also expect that if I'm paying a tattoo artist to put something on me that they give me their attention. I came in after first messaging on Facebook and getting no response and finally calling. So employee was properly wearing a mask and several clients waiting were not either. Then he tries to do this consault with me while he's tattooing a guy. I asked since they were takkng walk in what flash they had they could also do that same day while wanting to make a plan to have more tattoos done and I feel like he just was bothered by me the moment I came in the door. When I messaged his business again to say. This is why I am choosing to not come here as a way to inform him he's chasing off business he response with "good riddance" See the convo below. Rude and unprofessional. Plus no masks that tells me they might not listen to other safety practices. Glad I'm not going here read more

I came here for my very first tattoo, and I got a super cool Celtic tattoo on my wrist. Ashley used a super-fine needle, so I got the delicate look I was going for. The shop is really cool, it feels like a garage but still manages to also feel clean, which is awesome. I'm already planning with Ashley for my second tattoo, she is such a talented artist! I won't go anywhere else!!! read more

I came into the shop to get matching tattoos with my husband and everything was great until a week later when both of our tattoos started looking not great at all very little color stayed and when we reached out to the artist who also said we would get "touch ups for life" he basically made it out like he would get around to us whenever he was available he has no interest in scheduling us to come back in and get a touch up! Said he would call us when he was done with his other appointment and we have never heard from him again! So much for guaranteed work and free touch ups for life! I wouldn't recommend going there when I have to find another artist and pay them just to touch up work I already paid to have done! So wrong in so many ways!! read more

Came here for my first tattoo. Nick my artist did an amazing job with it and thoroughly explained the steps and process for the whole piece. At first there was some miscommunication with the design but was quickly clarified and design just the way i hoped for. Thank you again sideshow! read more

Mr Vick is awesome. Super friendly, clean, fun, and personable. Work was perfect and looks better than what I imagined. We'll be back for sure read more

Ive been in a tattoo parlor or two and for the most part the artist seemed like they were doing me a favor by talking to me and drawing up what i had in mind. Sideshow was different. When we walked in, we met by Vick, who is by far the happiest tattoo artist ive ever met. This is my 35 anniversary to my wife so we wanted themed tattoos.Vick listemes to our ideas and made sketches as we talked and quickly produced what we had in mind while adding a few of his own ideas. It was definately the best interaction ive had with a tattoo artist and the work was beautiful. Id recommend sideshow to anyone. Ill be back. read more

This is THE best place for all you tattoo wishes. The artist is very helpful in getting your design together and walking you through it.

Sideshow Was Tattoo is simply the best. read more

My girl had a Tattoo done by the owner of Sideshow. They both agreed to have her comeback and have the tattoo finished. He was hostile​, mean and instisted it was done. She felt bullied and discrimpcated against. Her heart was broken. She was in tears!!! Although the tattoo is well done, it does look unfinished. We went to another local shop and they agreed. Also, they were very kind and made her feel like she wasn't a terrible person. We found out that they have had 3 other customers with similar complaints I was disappointed! He seemed great the other times we had been there. Not sure what's going on!! read more

I came in on a whim wanting a tattoo and Nick fit me in two days later. He had accidentally lost my appt but still fit me in. I gave him a sentence and that I also wanted a semi colon and a diamond incorporated and he gave me such a beautiful tattoo. I didn't even know I wanted it to look how it does until he showed me what he had come up with! He made sure to take the time to ask if I was okay during and made my experience amazing. Now I'm looking at my other tattoos thinking how bad they are in comparison to this one! 10/10 would recommend! Thank you nick!! read more

I came in for my first tattoo and the experience couldn't have been more wonderful. I was really nervous. But, the guys put me completely at ease. I came in with a Pinterest picture of what I wanted. But, Jared improved upon it. My tattoo is even better than a Pinterest picture! I love it and I'll be back for the larger ones I've been lusting over. read more
