My father's last heart beat
Angela W.

I called 1 hour before closing and asked if I could be seen if I made it by 9:30. The woman in the phone (at the front desk) was so polite and answered all of my questions. She told me I was welcome to come in and see if one of the artists could help me. When I arrived Riley offered to do my tattoo. It is a very emotional but small tattoo for me. Riley made me very comfortable even though I was crying. Very nice and clean shop. Would definitely recommend!

Stopped in on a whim to see about getting a small tattoo. They were very kind in answering all my questions and got not only myself but my husband in right away. Rod was our artist and took the time to make sure everything lined up perfectly to a previous tattoo I had. He even touched it up so they matched. Thanks Rod! We will be back to add more!

I really appreciate several things about True Art Tattoos. The receptionist and check-in process were clear and easy, most of it electronic. The place has a nice vibe to it and is funky/cool. Scott, our tattoo artist was funny, kind, and professional with our 16 year old daughter. He helped her get exactly what she wanted and made the process very clear as it was her first tattoo. Scott welcomed photos (see attached) and worked quickly. When we went to pay, here's where things were just a bit frustrating. They are a cash establishment, but will take your credit card with an 18% service fee, which seems excessive. I wish that was something they'd say up front. I used their ATM, with a $3.50 service fee, as opposed to a $16 credit/debit card charge. Also, we had to ask for a receipt (they did say life time touch ups were free), as we were not automatically given one, and the one we were given was hand written from a generic receipt book. That just struck me as odd for a place that had an electronic check in process. So that back end was tough, and that merited four stars instead of five, but the quality and professionalism is all there at True Art Tattoos. Just make sure you bring cash!

A little one clutching her bear for courage! But she didn't need it. Tanesha was awesome with her for her ear piercing!

We had an awesome experience today getting my daughter's ears pierced! Tanesha was sooo patient with my hesitant 7 year old. She explained what she was doing and helped her to take a deep breath when it seemed she might back out! My daughter couldn't believe how fast and painless the experience was and is so amazingly proud of her freshly pierced ears!! Thank you so much for making this little girl's day! We'll be back with kiddo #2 in a few years!

Yesterday I went in as a walk in. I was greeted as soon as I walked in. I was told it would be about 20 minutes before an artist would be available to see me. So I went and sat down. Omg don't sit on the couch you will sink haha I managed to get back up and sit on a regular chair. The shop itself is very clean and they have tons of art on the walls as well as a tv monitor with some of the ink that has been done. It's a very large shop. They do piercings also. Kelly came out and introduced himself, he was very friendly and we talked about what I wanted tattooed. I showed him the pics I had on my phone, he asked me to airdrop them to him so he could use it as a reference to draw up my tattoo. About 10 minutes later he came out and showed me the drawing. He even modified my female cat to look more feminine. He made the cat silhouettes similar but different in the aspect that one of my cats is male and the other is a female. I love the way it came out and the placement fit perfectly between some other tattoos I already had. His area is very clean and he was very thorough when explaining each step and colors of ink he was planning to use, etc. overall it was a great experience. This was my 14th tattoo. I'll be back for more and would recommend.

Working on a tribute piece with Ronnie!
Jenn S.

Ronnie gets 5 stars, the shop overall-4. Ronnie is an undiscovered genius! I say undiscovered, because I was able to walk in, and get an appointment with him. Other tattoo artists around town charge twice as much, and have waiting lists going weeks, or even months into the future. Ronnie is a true professional, and the excitement he had for the design he helped me create made me glad I had chosen him as my artist. His fine detail work is incredible, and I am eager to get the piece finished and shaded in. The shop overall was a little like a frat house, pizza boxes on the back table, one staff person asleep in his room had to be woken up when a client wanted a piercing.

I came in as a walk in for my first tattoo and had an amazing experience. Betty was great from the start and made me feel very welcome and excited. Joe was the tattoo artist and he did a fantastic job. Joe made the experience very fun while also doing a perfect job with the tattoo. I have already recommended True Art and Joe to a few of my friends, could not be more impressed!

Brittany M.

I always get compliments on this, it's actually overwhelming lol. Anyways, I hope the artist sees this review and comments his name so people can know!

Two more great tattoos by Joe....very talented and meticulous to detail. Highly recommended shop and artist.

Pauline L.

For my first experience i was slightly frustrated that the shop was not open on time and i had to wait over a an hour for my tat being the first person in... ...but with that said... the shop was super clean and staff was nice! Donnie did my tattoo and he was patient with my high anxiety and many questions. ..he explained the process and provided good history and stories while doing my tattoo. I love it and would highly recommend!!!

a bit shaky

I had Joe and he was super nice and absolutely great about asking where stuff was so it sucks to have to give a not so great review :-/ basically it looks super obvious to me that the moon is a bit uneven (i'll be getting that fixed hopefully !) and he also put the tiny dots on every little sun thing when it was only supposed to be on a couple of them. it's not an easy thing that he's doing there so i totally get it and hopefully they're easy fixes ! update : chris (the owner) reached out about me being unhappy with my tattoo and is working to fix the situation which is amazing ! will be updating again with final product :-)

Sandy H.

Spontaneously decided to add to our collection and glad this was the spot. The staff members were all welcoming and our tattoo artist Eugenius Scott was amazing. He really took the time to work with us individually on what we wanted. I am in love with my new piece. The experience was everything and more.

I'm actually surprised I'm the first to review this great place. Very clean first off and…read moreincredibly friendly. Before I even sat down to schedule and talk about what I wanted...I saw a mother and daughter getting same tattoos together. So rest assured this place will do high volume and also a 10 minute wrist tattoo. So to my story. Chuck Uhler is the owner and happened to help me on my tattoo journey. That was 5 tattoos ago. I ran ideals buy Chuck as far as military and what would place and color. For once, instead of someone just taking my money and doing it...he advised against a certain design due to size and color. That being said...I am so incredibly happy with my end result and absolutely recommend this artist shop to angone

"Don't be sad go get a tattoo"…read more This place is absolutely amazing, I stopped in on Wednesday to set up an appointment for Thursday. The front desk staff was so sweet and easily helped me get in on my one off day. I was placed with the super talented Brian Anthony for my tattoo. I went in to get writing on my thighs in Old English font. I showed him my reference photo and within a few minutes he came back with the perfect font, and we were off. He took his time and carefully made sure the writing was even since the writing is split over both of my legs. After a couple of reajuste he sat me down and started. Brian was so nice and he worked super quickly, he made me feel very comfortable and we shared several laughs throughout the process which is always a plus. This was a breakup tattoo for myself and I couldn't be happier with it. I talked with him about my other leg tattoos, because I know I'll be in such good hands and the product will be amazing. If you're thinking of going here please do, every staff member I met with was so sweet and you can tell they all love their jobs. It's such a comfortable place that I easily recommend!

okay so now I've been here three times (once for my initial brows, once for my touch up…read moreappointment, and now for my body art tattoos!). I've never had a problem with parking here :) This place continues to impress me with their cleanliness and professionalism. The shop is cleaner than a lot of salons I've been in every time I walk in. I'm always greeted at the front door, and promptly handled or acknowledged. The shop itself and its owners are very strict on covid-19 protocols - all employees are masked, there's hand sanitizer available, and they are super responsible when their employees are sick (i.e. if employees are sick appointments are promptly rescheduled for client and shop safety. ) This place is the bomb: they do body art, piercings, and medical tattooing. They even do scar retouching for things like surgeries and Areola tattoos for people affected by breast cancer. I've worked with Sara (@scaktats on instagram- all three times I've been here, as she does permanent makeup and now body art!) Can't recommend her enough. She is very professional and kind - easy to communicate with, understanding, and flexible. She walked my partner and I through the process of picking flash tattoos and even worked with us to combine two of them. My partner got a smoking skull with a rose with a black and gray stippled design and I got a melting skull ice cream. (If you've never had a flash tattoo before - the design is drawn up before hand by the artist and you're able to pick from the design. This is different from custom tattooing where an artist makes a design specifically for you). Call the shop or go to their website to schedule an appointment - all of the artists here have instagrams and booking procedures that they follow. I've only worked with Sara but have heard good things about the other artists and the owner! Anyway - Sara is great, the shop is sanitary and covid-19 responsible, and the work here is gorgeous. I would highly recommend booking Sara for your body art tattoo or permanent makeup needs!

The girl at the front desk was extremely pleasant (both times I was there), which somehow helped calm my nervousness about meeting with the doc for my first tattoo removal. I met with Dr Kates, who was so cool and easy going, which again really helped me stay calmer than I wanted to feel. (The anticipation is the worst!) She explained the hows and whys of the procedure asked if I wanted to get to it right then and there, explained that it would take 15min *tops*, but unfortunately I had to come back another day. When I came back a few days later, same great, low key, this-is-no-big-deal experience and the process of lasering my tattoo away took so little time, I was floored. Honestly, I don't think I could have had a better experience. Also I have to say the fact that they offer discounts for tattoo removal for people joining the military is so awesome. And yes it is painful, but not more painful than actually getting tattooed on some of the more tender parts of the body!
