I get compliments everywhere I go! He also has the most laid back, calming energy, which makes the whole experience feel really easy and comfortable. I fully trust him at this point and honestly feel lucky I get to walk around with his art on me. I'm already booked for two more pieces! Do not sleep on his pre drawn designs, they're awesome!

So, let me start with this! Very nice Establishment! Not at all disappointed! They offer drinks,…read moreand snacks "which you do not have to pay for" But the one thing I will say.... Super expensive! More than it should be! I want to say money is a factor because the deposit shouldn't be that much!!! Isn't everything already high enough! NOT A DEPOSIT, for some people this can be a deal breaker ! I know They have their reason for such a high deposit and I have my reason why it shouldn't be! but with that said! Travis King! He's not only so cool but he definitely put up with my change of mind and what I asked for in my tattoo and theres a very big reason for that! It's "permanent" for the rest of my life! But definitely got what I wanted, easy to talk to, it's like a therapy session while you're getting art from the Artist! Super Happy and love my work! I do recommend this Establishment! And definitely Mr. Travis! Thanks again!

Got my 3rd tattoo(and first actual professional ink) done here years ago as an anniversary gift…read more It was flash dragon piece on my back, it was cheap and wasn't done all that well but I liked it well enough as when I wear tank tops, it kinda looks like I have wings sticking out. Now the son of the owner runs the place and apparently he allowed a guest artist to come in and do a Nazi tattoo in their shop. There used to be a time when asking for this kind of thing would get you tossed out of a shop at a minimum and artists would be blackballed from the scene. Totally unacceptable, Jesse.

Battle Born is the best! I've been going to the owner, Archie, for a number of years and he is…read moreamazing! The parlor is clean, and large with a nice waiting area and a zen entrance with beautiful Koi. It has amazing artwork on the walls and a great vibe. Archie specializes in Traditional Japanese and he also does incredibly lifelike animal realism tattoos from portraits. He has a varied and talented array of artists, so you will be able to find someone who specializes in the body art you want. They take appointments and walk-ins, but no credit cards. Cash app, Venmo, Zelle or cash. They do have an onsite ATM for convenience. There is a Friday the 13th first come, first served flash event. Follow them on social media to see work from the artists and upcoming events. Located in midtown with a shared parking lot and on street parking as well. I wouldn't go anywhere else for a tattoo!

I cannot say enough good things about Battle Born. The shop is astoundingly clean, the artists are…read morefriendly and accepting of everyone. My daughter is autistic but had been wanting a tattoo for forever. Alexx was so patient and kind, as well as the others. When my daughter got lightheaded, another artist gave up his candy for her. Alexx gave her all the time she needed to get back into the tattoo. It was honestly such a great experience. So much so, that a couple months later, my daughter went back for another one. 10/10 I recommend them to everyone.

It's a tradition Filipino tribal tattoo with some old Filipino writing on it. King is so amazing and patient while tattooing. He makes the room feel very comfortable. I've brought our kids here before to visit my husband while he was getting a tattoo. The entire shop is so kind. They offered candy, juices, fake tattoos, little toys, etc. The owner even once offered soup. (I believe the shop does charity work feeding the homeless once a week, which is awesome!)

They were able to get us in the next day for an appt. Nico did a wonderful job on my rose and quote, worked to blend it in with the style of my previous peony done by Dan. Nico took his time, asked for feedback, and was patient when I wasn't sure about where to put my quote. He was a pleasure to work with, and his artistry skills are fabulous. This tattoo also didn't hurt as much as previous tats I've had... he was gentle and a great guy! Best wishes to Nico, his wife and new son! Thanks so much love my new tattoo!

Went there and City my tattoo artist had good work but I was already feeling nervous with his attitude while he rushed to eat his lunch to do my tattoo. I should have walked away then but was with a friend and wanted to do something fun. I let city know I have especially sensitive skin and he sarcastically responded that all tattoos hurt when that isn't true as this isn't my first one. He was not only rude but while I was on the chair I was the only one who asked for breaks for myself. When I was twitching and trying to hold on he annoyedly asked if I needed to get up. I just wanted my shit done and could hold on the pain. Y'all he didn't even get me any aftercare instructions and was invalidating my pain from the beginning to the end. I let the workers know and city texts me apologizing saying he'd fix it but that doesn't fix an already broken trust between client and artist. Looked cool at the end but because of lack of instructions and more my tattoo ended up burning me and I had to get help from several other tattoo friends and artists. Didn't ask for my money back or for a fix because I don't want my experience to be tied to that. Red has a great vibe and he was my piercer. I wouldn't want to tank his greatness with city's carelessness for me.
