Great service and excellent communication skills (getting a tattoo) here (a BIG one /9hrs) so …read more.. let's just say I did my homework. Nice clean shop; dark (which I prefer as a barely day-walker) so ideal if you're not a big light person either. Awesome variety of artists and I couldn't be happier. Not cheap, so you can't be either! I had Matthew Graham do some back & gray realism and he killed it! 10/10 rec

This is the cleanest, most aesthetically pleasing Tattoo & Piercing Shop I've ever visited. The…read moreemployees are true professionals and VERY sanitary! I went to them to see if they could look at my daughters new piercing from another shop that wasn't doing so well, because the other shop didn't help when we returned for help. The young lady who helped knew so much. She knew that the other shop has used the incorrect stubs, the stems were too short & the piercing had become infected. She cleaned my daughters ear & used the correct hardware. The male employee gave us their shop-made concoction for her to clean the piercing site, clear the infection, and avoid keloids. Then the piercing expert gave my daughter proper education on care. Not only do I hope their business stays around, but I hope they grow and prosper! Will definitely recommend them and be back soon. *excuse any typos

I give the two stars because I really liked that this place was as eco friendly as possible. And…read morebecause it was my first tattoo and the artist was very sweet and kind and could tell I was nervous. On the other hand, I've included the picture I showed them and basically just asked for exactly that. As you can see, after only three months mine is looking pretty faded. It is about the size of a penny and costed $80 (plus tip on top of that). I think it is pretty pricey for such a small, simple piece. If you just want a simple, small tattoo I'd go somewhere else because their starting price is $80. And the colors also just weren't as vibrant as I was hoping for. I'm pretty unhappy with how it turned out and will definitely be getting a touch up. For $80 I should have loved it.

Savannah, a shop apprentice, was the available artist. I've never had an apprentice tattoo me so I was a bit leery at first. I decided to go for it and am extremely happy with the work. She was very polite and professional and did a great job. The shop was spotless and all the artists were down to earth. I recommend this shop and Savannah is MY artist at Black Hand.
