    My first tattoo!

    I was recommended this shop by a friend, and was not disappointed whatsoever! My artist, Speth, was courteous, professional, and very attentive to detail. Would highly recommended this shop and their style!

    Me and my sisters decided to get matching tattoos and went ahead and booked with Tyler. He was super easy going and made us feel comfortable throughout our tattoo session. He's truly passionate at what he does. This was my very first tattoo and I was super nervous but it was almost painless. I'm so glad we chose Tyler, We will definitely be back!

    Pavel is a wonderful tattoo artist and did a great job with the piece on my rib! I highly recommend and really liked the environment.

    Have only had great experiences here. Dave Moore did an amazing traditional American tattoo! Can't wait for more.

    Phoenix done by Daniel. Not finished yet but so incredibly gorgeous!

    Just got my most recent tattoo at True Love, a phoenix, and I could not be more ecstatic. I'd been looking for the right place to get a phoenix tattoo. Phoenixes are so symbolic to me, that I wanted to make sure I went someplace just as special. After scouring Yelp, I came across True Love Tattoos and although they didn't have many reviews, I trusted the ones they had and decided to take a chance. The shop is very clean, and comfortable, everyone is treated like old friends, which is nice if you're a little nervous. I was very, very particular about the design and Dan really did such a great job. He's a true artist and understood the importance of the design and put so much work into details to make it really special. Took about 3 hours and 2 sessions but the price was extremely reasonable. Everyone in the shop was so nice and the music was awesome so the time flew by. Pun intended. The tat came out so beautifully, I couldn't have had a better experience anywhere. True Love Tattoo - truly the loveliest tattoo and experience anyone could have. P.S. They're having a Valentine's Day special, $50 for a tattoo, really beautiful choices too. Check them out!

    Dan Herlihy is the man! You want a down-to-earth, super-talented tattoo artist go see Dan Herlihy. He's been the only tattoo artist that I've trusted to do my detailed work both color and black and white. You have an idea of what you want but not sure how you want it? Leave it up to Dan to either free hand on you or draw something up on paper. He will even tell you if something is a good or bad idea (like names.....who would ever do that??) If you want a real artist that truly appreciates the history, skill, talent, and dedication that it takes to be a successful tattooer then go see Dan Herlihy. You won't be disappointed.

    Pigeon by Amanda

    I went to Amanda in December and forgot to post a review until now. She did such an amazing job on my pigeon, though, and the world needs to know! She was basing the drawing on a photo I'd found, which kinda looked like a painting in the first place. We went back and forth on the pros and cons of a watercolor style. I wanted a lot of white ink in some parts but she helped me see that it wouldn't have turned out as I was imagining. She made sure I was okay with the ultimate design choices we made and then she got to work. This was my first tattoo from her but my fifth total... and I dare say my favorite so far. She's professional; she listens; she knows what she's doing and she's dang talented.

    I found this place because of the Tibetan art Dave Moore does but went in for a thigh tattoo with Amanda.

    I found Ally on Instagram and booked an appointment for a coverup tattoo about a month in advance…read more I sent her a picture of my original tattoo and the reference I had drawn to be the coverup. Days leading up to it, I was still very worried because I hadn't seen her sketch yet. The day beforehand, she sent me her sketch and I adjusted it to my liking. The next day was my appointment and I had to call her since the building was kind of hard to find. The studio was very clean and professional. I had never had a professional studio tattoo prior to this visit and I was a little worried about the pain especially because of the stipple shading. Ally had a super light hand and the outline was completely fine, and after the pain spray it was basically numb. Another concern was the healing process and I did notice little black flakes coming off and I was a little worried. After a couple weeks, fully healed, the tattoo looks as good as it was when it was freshly done. The session took less than two hours and I think the price was reasonable. Definitely appreciate Ally being my first studio tattoo experience! Thanks again :-)

    Arie was amazing to work with!…read more I reached out to her via email for a custom design and everything went really smoothly. I sent her lots of reference images and the tattoo she created was exactly what I wanted. Her communication was consistent and she got back to me quickly whenever I had questions. I wanted a fine line design with some ornamental touches and I'm so happy with my result. The studio is very welcoming, clean and comfortable. My tattoo was pretty large for my first one, but I felt fine the entire time and Arie checked on me consistently. Applying the stencil took time, but I'm grateful for that because the placement was exactly what I wanted. We ended up going bigger day of and seeing the piece on my body with a stencil was super helpful in getting it right. I really appreciated Arie's calm demeanor & attention to detail! I get so many compliments on my tattoo, and I'm already planning to come back for more. The healing process was a breeze and my skin was never irritated, even immediately after my tattoo was completed. Highly recommend working with Arie and visiting O Tattoo if you're looking for a beautiful piece, that's done by a qualified, artistic professional.

Sean was referred to me by my sister since our two other friends have gone to him for their tattoos, so I already felt comfortable going to him.

He made good conversation throughout the entire process, which distracted me from the light pain from the tattoos. For both arms, he said it was a minimum of $80! Such a good price for two tats so I decided to tip him graciously. Highly recommend this place if you want your first tattoo experience to be comfortable.

Sean made the whole process so comfortable and talking with him was like talking to an old friend. He is such a great guy and talented artist. I will be returning and recommending Sean and FTW to everyone!
