    Halloween tattoo
    Angie H.

    Cannot express how much we enjoyed our experience at this shop! Everyone was welcoming and I got a great tattoo from Gilly! We had a great Halloween!

    First tattoo-- incredible experience! Gilly did my tattoo and made it so enjoyable. He talked to me through the entire tattoo and was very reassuring. He also was very understanding as I adjusted the placement of the tattoo during stenciling. Everything was very cleanly and I felt so comfortable! Cannot recommend enough!

    Gilbert kills every single piece you throw his way, I got my first tattoo from him in 2018 and still get compliments on how detailed and enthralling his work is. His energy is always on point as well

    New ink. Live it!!!

    So, it's been a little while since I got my tattoo, and I still can't get the vibe of the shop out of my mind. I cannot wait to go back, and I recommend them to literally anyone looking for a great piece of art.

    My brother and I had an amazing experience at Welcome Stranger Tattoo. The customer service was beyond amazing and the tattoos are spectacular. This was my brothers first tattoo and he said they handled is so well. I will definitely be coming back to get another tattoo very soon!

    Turtley awesome work by Thomas. Couldn't be happier.

    I have a pretty decent size collection of tattoos from several different artist but the only one I've been impressed by enough to follow no matter where he goes is Thomas Fernandes. I got my 7th tattoo from him over the weekend and I'm just as impressed with it as I am with the previous 6 (if not even more so). It's not too common to be able to put your full confidence and trust in letting someone have total creative freedom in designing your art, but every piece of work I have from him has been worth it and absolutely amazing. Truly an artist you can trust to impress that won't just throw any halfhearted design out. As for the shop itself, it's probably the cleanest and most inviting I've been to so far. Every single artist there was welcoming and friendly. Already thinking up what I'll go see them for next.

    I am so stoked about this place! This isn't your average tattoo shop; this place is beautiful, unique and welcoming. I've been seeing Andy Felty for about 4 years now. The boy's got talent, he nails the concept and executes it perfectly every single time. He is down to earth and has a great attitude. I always enjoy my visits to the shop, all of the guys are super friendly and extremely talented. This shop feels like home. Andy is changing the industry and I am here for it!

    Highly recommend Andy and his shop - got my first tattoo at 55 with my daughter and the experience was the best ! He explained it all and made it even more meaningful! Awesome!

    Just got a tattoo today! Great experience, and AMAZING artist! Went in today with a friend and 10/10 we will come back! I recommend this shop to anyone wanting a tattoo! Gilbert was awesome, and I followed him from his last shop. I recommend him to anyone! His roses are beyond beautiful, I couldn't be happier with the results!

    Rob was fantastic, he gets it. They really do draw what your heart sees. The place is a bit difficult to find, it doesn't face the street.

    Several years ago I had Billyjack do an improvement/cover-up to a tattoo I had got from a shop in…read moreNew Orleans. Then last week I went in for a new one. Neither of the designs were complicated or intricate...just some 3-5 inch ones. If you've seen Billyjack's Instagram page you know the man can do some pretty fabulous, complicated pieces so my stuff wasn't exactly anything that was automatically going to get his artistic juices flowing. And that's what I love about Billyjack. Even on when you give him a fairly simple concept, he'll make sure he makes it more and special. The most important thing he does in my opinion though is that he acts like a partner or a consultant, not just an artist who's going to execute the design you bring him. My experience down in New Orleans with the other shop was one where it was kind of like "whatever you want, man". I didn't need that, I needed a strong guiding hand and that's what I got with Billyjack. I threw out some ideas and he pretty much said what would and wouldn't work and then expanded on what would. Oh, and he's a blast to talk with. How many tattoos have you had where you and the artist have covered: dogs, kids (OK, those first 2 are pretty easy), rent relief policies during COVID and Roth IRA's. And laughing the whole time.

    When I walked into the tattoo parlor, it looked clean, professional, and well put together. Based…read moreon the appearance alone, I felt confident I would receive good service. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience at all. The artist who worked on me seemed inexperienced, and the process didn't match what I was told. What should have taken around 30 minutes was discussed as taking several hours, which already felt off. In the end, I was charged $200 for a cover-up that I'm extremely unhappy with--especially since it's on my face. To make matters worse, the artist didn't follow through on what was promised. He said he would work on two tattoos but only did one, and even then, it wasn't what I asked for. I specifically wanted a design resembling stitches, but instead I was left with a large black feather on my head that I deeply regret. The environment also felt unprofessional. The staff came across as dismissive and made me feel judged for the tattoo ideas I wanted, which added to an already negative experience. Overall, I left feeling disappointed, frustrated, and unhappy with both the service and the final result. I would not recommend this shop. Are there any tattoo shops in the area willing to help fix a bad face tattoo once it heals? I'm worried it might scar, and I'm trying to figure out my options. If anyone has experience with cover-ups or thinks removal would be a better route, please let me know. I'd really appreciate any advice or recommendations--this is something I'm stressing about and want to fix the right way. I'm not trying to bash the entire shop, because there seemed to be some talented artists there. However, I do want to warn others about my experience with one specific artist. The artist I worked with--whose name may be Ivan or Isaac--came across as confident, but in my opinion did not demonstrate the level of knowledge or experience I expected. For example, when I asked about certain techniques like blood shading, he didn't seem to understand what I was referring to. That raised concerns for me about his training and experience. Again, this does not reflect everyone at the shop, but based on my experience, I would personally not recommend working with that particular artist.

Not only did you give me what I wanted and more today, you also turned my day into not so great, to amazing. You are an incredible artist and a genuine and kind person and you will be my first recommendation to anyone that asks.... Don't ever change, you are going places. I have had plenty and several different tattoo experiences and yours has by far been the best. From the moment I walked in with the way your friend greeted me at the front desk, (shoot, from the moment I called the store) you two made me feel important and cared about. The fact that you have a personal sheet to fill out about personality to make each experience for each Individual unique and important is just something I haven't ever experienced before and something I won't ever forget. Never have I ever reached out to an artist to give them this much of an opinion about them or my experience but you truly made a stranger feel like family in a matter of a couple of hours and that's something that deserves to be pointed out. Thank you again for giving me such an incredible work of art that I get to wear the rest of my life and that you for being such an incredible person that made me feel seen and cared about. I can't wait to finish the rest of my sleeve with you
