Great artists that are good to chat and work through ideas. Shop is well set up, shiny clean and a good spot to just hang out. Kevin Harden is a fantastic artist, couldn't recommend him more. read more

Ultra Violence Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I decided to get my first pair of tattoos from Sydney after following her work on Instagram for a while. Their shop is immaculate and there's dozens of art pieces hanging on every wall. I definitely dig their aesthetic here. Sydney did a great job of making me feel comfortable in an otherwise uncomfortable experience for many people. Everyone seems to be really nice and friendly here. As for the art itself, you can see that she did an amazing job. I was on the table for less than an hour and it cost less than I expected. Needless to say, I was more than happy with my first tattoo experience and I'm already looking forward to getting future pieces here. read more

TLDR: super sanitary! Rachael is the best. I flew in to get my tragus pierced. I found Rachael through Instagram and fell in love!! She is so incredibly sweet and very informative. Throughout the entire process, she would let me know step-by-step what she was doing so I wasn't out of the loop of what was happening. This piercing has honestly been the most smoothest healing process ever & I cannot help but thank Rachael for the care and attention she gave during my appointment. 100% booking with her next time I visit Alaska read more

I love this shop. I will this my main shop. I have erin do my black and Grey and I will be going to Christian for my color work. All artists are super talented and I'd recommend any one of them! read more

IMO, hands down best place in Anchorage!! Will is an amazing artist! I gave him an idea of what I wanted, let him run with it and I am more than WOWED!!! read more

Super clean and open environment. Rachel, the piercer, was wonderful to work with, and made the process of getting my first piercing quick and easy. She walked me through the process before even getting the area clean, to make sure I knew exactly what to expect and what would be going on, which alleviated so much anxiety. She was fully honest with me about which pieces of jewelry would work for me, and it never felt like she was trying to push a more expensive piece or anything like that- I never doubted she had my best interest in mind the whole time. The jewelry stocked here is high quality and affordable, and I have had no issues with the piercing, jewelry or the cleaning solution she provided to keep the piercing clean. Overall just a super easy and pleasant experience, and I would highly recommend it! read more

My daughter got a belly button piercing. The experience was fast and parece to. Staff is very professional and the place is spotless.

My friend and I truly enjoyed our experience at Ultra Violence. I was on the hunt for an artist available while my friend was in town and it so happened that one of the artists, Tanner, had an opening. I think making the appointment in person is more efficient because of their deposit requirement and more direct communication. Everyone at the stop was very nice and welcoming, and the shop was very clean. Would recommended! Tanner was a great artist that paid attention to close detail and made sure we got what he wanted. read more

Worst communication I've ever experienced with any business. They will ask the same question repeatedly, even after receiving the answer multiple times - they clearly do not communicate with eachother. It's taken nearly two weeks to even schedule an appointment and it's still not happened. Would not recommend. read more

I've been getting tattooed for 20yrs and this was the most underwhelming experience I've had since that time. Tanner was supposed to be the artist to do the work. Well, we didn't get there. Paid my deposit and was told that around a day before that I would get a call to come in and go over the art as to make any changes. That never happened. Day of, I receive a text stating his car broke down and needed to push the appointment back an hour or so. Needed to find a ride. Not my problem but it really was no problem, we got a lot of snow that day so I understood. This was around noon. FFW to 5-6 hours later, with zero communication in that time, he tells me his phone and car are broke. What happened to the ride bro? You couldn't communicate that? Uber doesn't exist? Guess you couldn't get a ride or borrow a phone? I had two appointments with this guy. An appointment for each hand. He wanted to do both at the next appointment. I declined because I work with my hands and wanted two separate appointments in order to give healing time, and because obviously he's unreliable. Well, I was offered my deposit back. He said I'll Venmo it over, which was over a month ago. Still waiting on that deposit there Tanner? Tell ya what, keep it and buy yourself a clue bro. Your communication is reminiscent of a toddler and your professionalism is pedestrian at best. I took the day off work only to sit around and wait for something, anything. When I reached out to Tanner days later to ask why he ghosted me he told me "I wasn't his only client". I may not be his only client but I took time out of my life to research several shops in town to pick this one, took the day off, and waited 2 months for the appointment only to be out the deposit and tattoo. Anyway, cheers and keep doing what your doing I'm sure you'll go far! Getting a tattoo is a big deal, it's on your body forever. The last thing someone will want is a tattoo that reminds them of a negative experience. I would never recommend this shop, especially Tanner. read more

I am totally impressed with Seth! We stopped by and lucky for us Seth had someone that canceled. This man has skills! He tattooed a feather for me then free handed "AK18" at the bottom. Definitely worth going to check him out. read more

A poorly ran business all around! Policies are not clear on the website. Staff is unwilling to work with you if your 7 minutes late due to unsafe road conditions. read more

The shop is clean and the atmosphere while getting a tattoo is nice. I picked this place out from a recommendation of my co-worker . This review is more for the artist I picked and not the entire shop . I booked my appointment with christian weeks in advance , I took off work , planned my flight , booked a hotel , rented a car just for this appointment. Prior to this appointment he had already done one tattoo for me , which I was very pleased with , hence why I booked another session with him. We talked about the area I wanted to have the art put on , he told me to bring some pictures of what I wanted and he would get me fixed up . I would like to say up front I have no idea of tattoo etiquette . I'm new to getting artwork so I'm not aware of things not to do to piss off your artist . Let me add that the first tattoo he did on me was in march .It took several hours just to put the outline on me . He told me he was going out of town for several months for work doing tattoos . I had no problem with that and was not told it would be inappropriate to have another artist do the color .I went on vacation to Georgia a few months later and had another artist color in my original tattoo (which turned out great by the way ), thanks to Stan. I went early to my appointment at the shop after being flown in to anchorage , Christian walked up to me shook my hand looked at my tattoo turned around walked to the cash register with no explanation and threw my deposit on the counter . Keep in mind this appointment was for a completely different area of my body and I've already spent thousands at this shop . The man at the register who I'm going to assume was the owner not only agreed with the way he treated me but referred me to go to another shop for my artwork . I was in tears standing there with no clue what happened , made to feel like a fool .I explained to the guy behind the counter I had flown in for this appointment , booked weeks in advance , rented a hotel room , and a car . There was no apology or offer for another artist to help me , instead I was told to go elsewhere . I was and still am completely shocked by the way I was treated . I reached out to the shop afterwards by phone and email to speak with the owner about what happened. This appointment was a week ago and I still have not heard back from the owner . That's not the way I would run a business and I certainly would not have someone working for me that acted like a child , slung money at a repeat customer and gave no explanation after all the trouble I went to for this appointment . The artist obviously has an ego issue and is aloud to act however he deems appropriate to his clients . Overall this was one of the most embarrassing , unprofessional appointments I've ever been to . I will pick a much more professional artist in the future . Be warned if you use Christian he has a bad temper and thinks highly enough of himself that your time and money don't mean anything . Very disappointing ! read more

Highly recommend Rachel as your go-to piercer. Extremely professional and great customer service. I have a very low pain tolerance and I'm nervous every time I go in but Rachel has made every experience enjoyable for me, 13 piercings and counting. Could not recommend her enough. I have gotten one tattoo done by Sydney and plan to get several more by her and other artists. All around great shop! read more

Got addicted to piercings and even more when I met Rachael. She is the sweetest human bring and is so knowledgable and professional. I trust her so much! She the CUTEST jewelry of all the professional piercing places in Anchorage. read more

I will always go to Rachael for my piercings. She is so welcoming and knowledgeable and has a way of making everyone feel so comfortable. Her prices are fair and the quality in jewelry is high. I wouldn't go to anybody else in town! read more

I highly highly recommend this wonderful little shop. Rachael was the best piercer with a great bedside manner. I barely felt the nose piercing and didn't bleed what so ever. I absolutely love my piercing!!! read more

Isaac Nichols was very professional and very skilled, to add this place is a very clean and shows attention to detail and cleanliness. Most of all, Isaac stayed late to finish my arm and even did a small touch up on a mistake from another tattoo shop . Thank you Isaac read more

Ultra Violence Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

As tatted as I am? Medium/ heavy. Depending on what artists you ask. I like this place. The name is not indicative of the excellent service. The name is a reference to a movie. And not a depiction of your tattoo experience. Place is clean. Tattoo booth sterile. And my artist was professional. And actually went over some previous shops work. Too make sure my second chest piece vibed. Price was more than fair. Took me about 20 years to realize how bad the shop minimums in several states are. Great artist, and straight up estimates. Are a must for me. And that's what I got. They offer piercings as well. And not one employee displayed any of the old "ultra violence". read more

I've been tattooed here before with Elizabeth and had a great experience. I've also seen Rachel for some troubleshooting and jewelry changes and had a great time as well. I decided to get my hubby a gift certificate for his first tattoo, knowing whoever he saw here would do great work. When I came in they were out of gift certificates, but no fear, Glade to the rescue! He scanned an old copy of one they had and we made it work! He totally saved my ass, and my Valentine's gift. Can't say thank you enough! read more

My son and I recently visited Ultraviolence Tattoo and got our ink done by Tanner Cuthbert. His help with my sons design was outstanding and our tats look superb. Highly recommend. read more

i've gone to kaitlin for a couple pieces and will be back for more - she's awesome and everyone i've encountered here is professional and friendly. the shop is clean and organized and has some pretty cool art literally from the ceilings to the floors. my husband also got a piercing with rachel and i had an old and irritated piercing changed by her. she knows what she's doing and has a pretty vast selection of jewelry to choose from. definitely recommend checking them out :) read more

Got lucky - walked in and Seth Wild had an opening. He is the best tattoo artist I have come across. He is new to this place but has been tattooing for about 7 years now. And his work is amazing. He has an Instagram account if you want to check out his work. 110% satisfied with his art work and customer service! I highly recommend him. read more

Ultra Violence Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I got both lobes pierced the other day with Rachael. The shop was really sterile and nicely decorated. I felt a lot more comfortable at this shop (I went to another one in town before) and she walked me through the whole process. I would defiantly come back for any future piercings or tattoos! read more
