    My GF has had several tattoos done by Ron. Josh C. did my art & did a great job. So happy with his artwork. In & out in about an hour with prep.

    Too much ink was put into my skin.

    I only go to tropical tattoo for my ink. I typically have Clay do all my work as he is phenomenal at laying the ink and i never have any problems Unfortunately due to my schedule I wasn't able to see Clay my last two times visiting tropical tattoo. My first visit A month ago katie did a absolutely beautiful job on my cardinal piece. I had no issues with the healing process. However my most recent visit on 5/20 i was there at opening hoping a artist had some time to do a infinity symbol tattoo on my arm. I had a traveling artist named mike tattoo me from jacksonville. He injected way to much ink into my skin as he was milking the clock to say it took longer then it should have and charged me 200$. Now i have a tattoo that is healing messed up with painful thick raised scabs with yellow and green crust/discharge. I follow my healing instructions very carefully and have never had a issue with any of my tattoos. I went back to tropical tattoo a week after i was tattooed for a followup on why it was healing like this i was told it was normal and i was just overreacting and it was my fault because i didnt wash it correctly or globbed lotion on it..i have NEVER had a tattoo heal like this before. Sadly this may be one of my last visits to willies tropical tattoo.

    Excellent bass fish by Skully

    Done week of re-open during COVID in May 2020. Original art work and vibrant colors my Skully. Tribute to my Dad. Excellent communication on design and nice experience in completing the work.

    Had a great experience with Ron Gray. This was my first tattoo and I had it on the ribcage. The place was clean and the employees were friendly. Everything went smoothly, from drawing up the design to the tattooing process itself. I'm very happy with my little sunrise, which cost $60. I highly recommend Willie's Tropical Tattoo for anyone looking for a tattoo, even a first-timer like me!

    I recently got a tattoo from this parlor and I loved it, it was a great experience. Ron was a very good artist and the tat was done surprisingly quickly. The guys were friendly and the shop was very clean. Just a note - at ANY tattoo parlor in FL- if ur 17 u need a notary to sign a consent form (which u can get at Amstar for $10) and a parent has to be with u

    Came in an hour before closing. Read most of the reviews and was so excited to get a custom tatoo. But either it was late and they did not want to spend the time or what I really wanted was too difficult. But they were fast and I got a good little wave. But not original :( they were friendly. Just have cash and expect to not pay less then $50 or $150 an hour.

    My friend and I came in for kind of matching tattoos. We had been to another place in Daytona earlier in the day and the artist couldn't be bothered to draw our tattoos and was very condescending. That was not our experience at tropica! Ron was our artist. He drew our tattoos in about 10 minutes and they were exactly what he wanted. He was professional, yet able to have fun and get in on our jokes and conversation. Everyone was accommodating and welcoming even though we didn't actually start the tattoo process until 10 pm. I would definitely go back for another tattoo in the future and would highly recommend Tropical Tattoo.

    Highly recommend the artists here! I just got my birthday tattoo & I love it. The shop is super clean & the artists are talented. I've gotten at least 10 of my tattoos at this shop, most done by Ron Gray, who is exceptional, but don't forget Pete & Clay as they have also inked me with skill. They have other artists, but I've not had an experience with them YET. They are usually quite busy, so call ahead & make an appointment, but they can usually take you as a walk in any day.

    My friends and I came to this place visiting from CT. We were instantly greeted by a friendly and welcoming receptionist. I had the intention of getting a quote on the front of my arm. The tattoo artist, Katie was super honest and patient with me. She informed me that if I were to get a quote in that area, eventually in a few years it would blend together and not look great. Not only was she honest, but she worked with me to come up with a great idea that I ended up loving even more than my original thought. Katie was super patient, knowledgeable, and friendly. She also did my friends first tattoo. My friend was super anxious and nervous, but Katie made her feel super comfortable. Katie was amazing and I would recommend her to ANYONE.

    AMAZING QUALITY EVERYTHING!!!!! The entire store is SO nice and I just wanna go every single day…read more(if I could) :P thank you guys so much for all you do!!!

    we came for the friday the 13th sale, that lasted the WHOLE WEEKEND! Ended on "Sunday the 15th at…read more10pm." Myself, my girlfriend and my best friend arrived to the shop at 8:40 PM! We walked in excited expecting we were getting piercings, they asked how they can help us and we said we were there for the sale. They proceeded to tell me that the sale was over and i asked well it says 10PM? they said that they were tired and done for the night and i told them i completely understood. The girl behind the counter with red hair then PROCEEDS TO SAY "That's the price you got to pay for waiting last minute." I was astonished with that comment, i even turned around to look at my group. I said "wow okay." We turned around and walked out. OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR, i said to my group "..Then why say you're doing a sale til 10 PM." then the other girl with a short curly bob then proceeds to scream and fly out the door and yell at us. She said "You fucking tattoo your back for 10 hour straight and tell us how your fucking back feels." i turned around and i said "excuse me what is your problem?." she continued to say that i was the one that had a problem and im the one at a lost. i continued to tell her that's extremely rude and unprofessional, they are the ones loosing sales. i told her nobody was getting tattoos, just piercings. Then i proceeded to tell her that she's extremely rude and there was no reason to speak to us like that. that they failed to update their policy and that they are out of pocket for treating me like that when it was their fault. i understand the situation of being tired and everything but other people have jobs as well. But it doesn't kill to make one post on instagram saying that you're done for the night. i made a complaint to the owner of both stores. and the receptionist said that this isn't the first time they have had complaints in the past month! wild behavior!

    My wife and I came to the tattoo parlor with a few questions and we actually gained access prior to…read moreopening hours. However, Josh, the present tattoo artist granted us access and helped us with our questions. He was a very polite, forthright man with what we believe to be very good values and morals. He shared with us his previous work and knowledge of tattoos and the industry. He is a man worth his weight. Although we didn't get tattoos that day from Josh, our experience from this establishment was amazing and very helpful. A few other attributes worth noting is that this establishment is veteran owned and operated, they share conservative values, and seem to be a very good salt of the earth type of people to work. Highly recommend.

    Just a heads up, they don't pierce minors under 16. I called and asked if they pierced minors and I…read morewas told yes with a notarized form. I printed the form and got it notarized. I showed up to have my daughter's ears pierced and the piercer had just left. They asked if I had the form. I did. They took my name and number and said he would text me when he got back. I didn't get a text, so I went back and I was told they don't pierce under 16. That would have been nice to know when I called and asked if they pierced minors or when I stopped by the first time with my 12 year old. Just a fellow Hoosier trying to support another Hoosier. The place had great reviews, but all employees need to be aware of their piercing policy. Luckily, they recommended a great place down the way.

    If I could give this place a million stars, I would! The Plastic Flamingo is an all-female one stop…read moreshop for all things beauty and I promise you that you'll always leave content. They have many tattoo artists who are talented and accommodating, piercing services, waxing services, massages, and lash services, too! Also, the owner, Brittany is super sweet and you can feel the positive atmosphere in her shop. I recently took part in Morgan's Adopt a Dragon flash deal. Basically, you can "adopt" a dragon for $75. Morgan already had plenty of dragons pre-drawn with different varying looks with added color and/or fire coming out of its mouth. All of the styles she drew are $75 and I got a cute certificate of adoption! Suuuuppperrr cute. This was my first tattoo and my experience with Morgan was a 10/10. She is super sweet, funny and does not mind taking off the stencil a few times to make sure you're happy. I am totally going back for more tattoos! On top of getting my tattoo here, I get my Brazilian wax from Lucy Chiriboga! Your first Brazilian is $25 and then after that it's $50. She's literally amazing and super gentle! I would highly recommend coming to her if you need waxing done. Also, The Plastic Flamingo is having a Flock Party on March 29th, 2026 from 1100 to 1900! They'll have $75 flash tattoos, piercings, lash lifts and tints as well as a waxing special.
