My husband & I are SO HAPPY we chose Mammoth Tattoo for our anniversary tattoo! The overall vibe of…read morethe place is super cool. The walls are covered with flash art and we both chose pieces that were on their walls & in their flash books. I loved the music they had playing and the overall ambience of the place. The bathroom was clean & also well decorated. This entire place is very clean & well-organized. We were both tattooed by their apprentice Hannah. She's only been tattooing for 2 years and it is very evident that she has a very bright & fruitful future ahead of her! Aside from her tattoo skill, she is super nice, has great energy, and a great conversationalist! At no point during our time did I feel awkward or uncomfortable (which I tend to feel sometimes in social situations). She placed both of our stencils perfectly on the first attempt and made sure we were 100000% satisfied with it before starting the process. Before starting my tattoo, I told her about my nearly non-existent pain tolerance and advised her of what my tattoo safe word was lol. She is not heavy handed (no shade to artists that are heavy handed) and ensured to check-in with my husband & I periodically throughout the process to make sure we were both still doing okay. I've been very skeptical about getting a lady's face on my body since I've seen many botched faces but Hannah gave me the prettiest & cutest face I could've asked for! I've also seen plenty of botched American traditional eagle pieces and to say she NAILED IT is simply an understatement. My husband & I were both done in 4 hours and the price was extremely fair. We have already determined that we will be returning to her for our upcoming anniversary tattoos. Also, after the tattoo, Hannah offered us hot compresses. I've gotten tattooed at plenty of places in the past and have never had a hot compress. Let me tell you!!! The hot compress was life changing and felt like a nice warm hug on your tattoo. She informed us that it helped with the swelling & healing process and I can definitely tell a difference! I will never decline a hot compress moving forward haha. When we were there, we got to meet the other artist Andrew, who is also Hannah's mentor. He had great vibes & was a great conversationalist as well. We got to see his finished piece on someone else and it was DOPE! When we were done with our tattoos, she had Andrew look at both of them and received his seal of approval. If you have a chance to swing by Mammoth and get tattooed by either one of them, you will not regret it!

I've been coming to Mammoth for over a year now. This is my go to place whenever I want a new…read moretattoo. I always see Andrew, the shop owner, and he's fantastic. Andrew is so patient and answers every question I have about the design, placement, and size in a way that allows me to see the vision and also provide clarity when needed. Andrew is incredibly talented and can do any type of tattoo. I have also really appreciated how honest he is when I ask for feedback on what an idea would look like several years from now. I've had a few ideas of how I want tattoos to look and Andrew always gets the vision right on the first try. Andrew tends to be very available and is very speedy. I'm normally in and out within 30-45 min max. The pricing is also super reasonable. The vibe of the studio is great. The artists love to have fun and joke around with their clients and one another. The building itself is a tad space restricted but they always find a way to make room. Definitely check out Andrew at Mammoth for your next tattoo!

They offered a free consult which few shops do. I go there they had a screen of all different lion tattoo variations. A specific program for tattooing. Very cool. They printed out a few I liked and we three discussed pros and cons of size and placement. Ying, myself, and Connor the tattoo artist. I embarrassingly had to reschedule a couple sessions and arrived late for my first one (100% my fault) and they established with great kindness a boundary around time while giving me the full time of tattooing. They could have charged me the hour I was late (bad communication on my part) they did not. Now don't take that as permission to do what I did cause you might (and should) be charged, but I share this to show how friendly, understanding, and at the same time professional they are. Took two sessions a total of 7 1/2 hrs I think. Second session I was on time ;) Connor starts a stop watch when he begins and shows you. That's when the charging begins , and stops the stop watch immediately when he's done , and shows you as well. I thought that was very cool of him and all ships should do that. The place was sparkling clean, organized, and worth Connors time. He's an amazing artist.

Carson is the fastest tattoo artist I've ever worked with and his tattoos heal the fastest. Fully recommend!

I sent Joey a picture of what I'd like, and he was able to (naturally) easily accommodate. I appreciate that Joey just seems to know how to read your mind when you walk in the door and immediately he could tell I wanted the tattoo to be really small; something he was able to quickly update and ensure proper placement for me. I mentioned another idea for a tattoo I'd like on my shoulder, and being Im far from an artist another thing I appreciated was just a simple description and he quickly seemed to know exactly what I wanted. Come here, be happy. Get tatted.

I really didn't want to have to write this because it seemed so good at first, but this was easily…read morethe worst experience I have ever had a tattoo parlor. I was recommended this place from a couple friends who had gotten amazing tattoo's done by Ian. I had done research and it looked like Ian had done an incredible job and had a multitude of knowledge on tattoo's, so I figured it would be good to give him a shot. Well, now I have three botched tattoos and one lopsided one. I got five done in total because they were simple, small, fine line ones. And ended up with only one that looked good. I have to get one of the tattoos removed because the line work was so poorly done. When I asked him for a touch up on one, he spent about 5 minutes verbatim telling me how "anal" I was being on wanting touch ups and was very rude towards me. Extremely unprofessional. On top of that, while we were talking during the touch up, I had another tattoo that I had gotten done by another artist that I loved, he and co-worker commented on it and proceeded to tell me how tell me how "bad" my tattoo looked and told me it was going to age very poorly. Even though the artist I went to is known for having incredible tattoos and the tattoo itself looked amazing which I have already had for over five years at this point. Then when I had asked him to touch up and fix my other tattoos he did, I never heard back and followed up twice; even though he claimed there was a 90 day policy for free touch ups. Sadly, you will want to avoid this place. So disappointing because I had very high hopes because of the recommendations I was given and how good their work looked. I can't speak for the other artists, but I just didn't have a good experience with Ian.

Red flag 1: I got an anonymous text saying they were interested in my project. No introduction, but I still made an appointment. Red flag 2: I showed up, and there was one person there who seemed Incredibly irritated I was there, even complaining that he was ditched by his coworker? Boss? Not positive because Red flag 3: there was construction going on outside, and I could barely hear anything he said, which he seemed confused and annoyed that I kept saying I could not hear him. Red flag 4: he didn't know anything about my project, then tried to talk me into a different piece, and when I kept insisting, he stayed sounding annoyed, then agreed to it and quoted me $440 for an inch by inch piece. Red flag 5: he had me write my name and number on a sticky note with no information about me, the project, or anything useful. It was a costly mistake for me, because even with all my discomfort, I really liked the art I had seen, which was very poor thinking in retrospect. I cancelled my appointment as soon as I talked to a friend about it, and realized that I absolutely felt like that was a Huge mistake to agree to. I don't think I could get a reimbursement even though they said they would because I am fairly sure they have no idea who I was. It was unprofessional, uncomfortable and felt like I was not possibly going to get what I had asked for safely. I hope others have a better experience, but unless they can improve their professionality, I will not be going back.

He finished this simple tattoo, I noticed how it started to fade fast. I waited a solid 4 weeks so that the skin could fully heal and took the picture I posted that shows where the tattoo was at. Before posting on yelp I decided to email to shop and share how badly it had healed and faded. Till this day i haven't heard a reply nor do I expect one. My advice for anyone thinking of getting tattooed here is that the quality products could be either the ink or the silent tattoo gun are not great.
