I can't say enough good things about this tattoo shop and the artist who helped me. I came in right before closing in a lot of pain because my earring was completely stuck in my ear, bleeding, and really hurting. He seemed to be either the owner or the person in charge, and despite how late it was, he immediately stepped in to help. He spent over 30 minutes patiently working to remove the earring and relieve the pain. In situations like this, many piercers are hesitant to help, but he showed true professionalism and compassion and didn't give up until it was out. The relief was instant. His kindness, patience, and willingness to help someone in need truly stood out. I'm incredibly grateful and would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for artists who genuinely care about people, not just business. read more

I been going to this shop for all my tattoo needs for a few years now, I basically tell them what I like amd they never ever disappoint to sketch out a tattoo personalized just for me using the inspirational photos I send them. Aside from always being satisfied with the work done, the vibe from the shop is amazing. It's like waking in to a family pack. Very welcoming my daughter always come with me. She loves the experience watching the artist at work. I also got my daughter ears pierced when she was small, they were very gentle and quick to take care of her. She healed beautifully. I also got pierced & tattooed by Memo. Awesome artist! Very professional and made the experience much smoother. Over all totally recommend Wildlife Thank you guys! I had an awesome birthday getting tatted. read more

I'm in love with this shop and everyone in it. I started my tattoo journey with Greg back in 2023 and I've been a regular ever since. I've only experienced high quality, incredible vibes, and such amazing customer service from this shop. Since my initial 20 visits, I've been tatted by Kayla, Emily, and the owner Ceelos and the experiences have all been memorable. I'd recommend this shop a million times over. They're family. read more

Super great experiences when I've come in here! I've gotten a tattoo and a piercing and can't reccommend this place enough! My first tattoo was at this shop and Ceelos kept the experience feeling comfortable. He offered a numbing cream since it was my first one and on my ribs. He helped with the exact placement and gave multiple sizing options. He was even accomodating with the fact that I brought in a picture that I drew. And I am very impressed with the detail suggestion that the artist recommended. It came out flawless! The cartilage piercing I got was also comfortable and they answered all questions I bugged with. They didn't get freaked or go slower at how much of a bleeder I am! And still got the jewelry in quick. It wasn't at all as bad as I psyched myself out that it would be. read more

The people I was originally speaking to seemed very engaging and personable. Unfortunately the artist I originally wanted to work with was not available and I was referred to someone else. Unfortunately it was not a good experience at all... artist was late, not prepared and I sat there for an hour before engaging in conversation with him. He also didn't know how to get the verbiage I wanted transferred over correctly and when the stencil was placed he had to redo it again. He also seemed very distracted- I was planning on getting a tattoo on my spine so I wanted to make sure it would look good. Place has a lot of great artist! And the energy seemed great. My artist might have been newer or not comfortable with the tattoo I was going to get. I was there for 2.5 hours and only got to placing the stencil on my back- I ended up having to leave because I had an event to be at. read more

KEN KEN KEN!!! Thats all I gotta say. Amazing vibes and amazing people at this shop. The detailed work and time that Ken puts in to ALL his clients is worth every penny. I had family come in from another state due to a death in the family. We all wanted matching pieces, smaller than the palm of your hand and we knew how much time, effort and materials that go into a tattoo. Even though the pieces were small, Ken was happy to help - with a HUGE smile on his face. Ken is truly amazing and I would recommend going to him! He was VERY appreciative too. THANKS AGAIN, KEN!!! read more

Went to this place 3 days ago because the usual place I go to was closed and it was late at night. Memo repierced my helix and pierced my conch. I was excited. Now I expected to bleed but not that much. I don't know how good a tattoo artist he is but he's not very good/smooth with piercings. He has a heavy hand. He asked me if I wanted a hoop for my helix and I've been told before that you should start with studs so it doesn't get irritated with all the movement so I told him that and he's like yeah you're right. Next red flag, guy was in a hurry. Should not have done it cuz I could see he was busy and he told me so. Now, I just came back from my regular piercer and he replaced my conch with a longer stud because for the past 3 days my ear has been throbbing and swelling. I would not go to this guy for a piercing. Idk what's standard but I always sign a consent form before piercing and maybe this place doesn't have one? Anyway, maybe he's a good tattoo artist but he doesn't seem to know piercing very well. read more

I had such a wonderful experience coming here Randy is awesome ! Although I've had previous tattoos, it's been about seven years since my last one.and so I was quite nervous. BUT, Randy made me feel comfortable from the beginning to the end, he has a gentle touch !!! Also I purchased some tragus earrings and Mike put them on for me since I hadn't had any earrings on them for a bit, he made it quick and painless. This is my new spot for piercings and tattoos read more

Thank you to Critical Strike Mike at Wildlife Tattoo! I'd waited so long to get my nose pierced. Just wasn't the right timing or person to do it. A friend at work had recently got hers pierced and told me about how great her experience was. She said (and I'm paraphrasing), "Mike walked me through the entire process, was patient, sanitary and clean. I'm so happy." She sent me his card and sure enough, I schedule an appointment. Everything she said was true! Mike goes above and beyond. He's professional and reasonably priced. I even contacted him a few times since. I'd snagged it, developed a bump and he walked me through the process of healing it. Recently went in again to the shop to have him install a retainer for a surgery I'll be having soon. To top it off, he pierced my mom's nose too haha. Sometimes, you come across people who are really good at what they do and it shows; Mike is one of them. It's not just about the piercing, it's about the experience. Thanks again . His IG: @CriticalStrikeMike. read more

Update! Went back to William for another bombass tattoo. He finessed this piece and I love his work! My advice is if you want to get tattooed by William, let him freestyle and add his flair! His black and grey work is amazing! His fine line work is IMMACULATE. On top of all that, most gentle hands! I was never in pain when he tattooed me! Definitely book an appointment with William because he does have a lot of clients so book ASAP read more

I've had a couple of piercings done here over the past few years, and this shop has always been so great to me! Seriously, I am a HUGE baby about needles. It takes me at least 15 minutes to stop squirming and carrying on. Yet, every time, I finally get it done and the first words out of my mouth are "Wow, that wasn't even bad..." I usually just call ahead to let them know I'm coming. Appointments and walk-ins are accepted, as long as the piercer is there. Cee Los and his staff are accommodating and prices are fair. Note that they don't usually open until 1pm, though, and then close at 10pm. (Sundays are noon to 7pm). I'm not quite ready for a tattoo, but I'll definitely come here when I am. Hopefully, by then, I'll have toughened up a bit... :) Also, the shop is nicely decorated with painted artwork and there's adequate parking in the lot. read more

So I called around a couple places and wanted a very simple heart outline tattoo on my wrist. A lot of places that I called had a minimum of $100 and I honestly didn't want to spend that much. I called Wildlife Tattoo and the person that I spoke to on the phone was so nice and so helpful. I unfortunately didn't get their name. I made an appointment with Greg for around 5-5:30 PM on Sunday. When I showed up for my appointment, I parked right in front of the shop. Greg wasn't around but I ran into Randy who was extremely nice and helpful and told me to come on in. He took care of my tattoo right away. I showed him what I wanted, I was super nervous, but Randy made me feel very comfortable and worked with me to get me the exact tattoo dimensions that I wanted. Another worker, Alex, came around and gave me moral support since this was my first tattoo and they were both cracking jokes with me, which made me feel very at ease. My tattoo took two very quick minutes. I have to say, tattoos hurt! But the pain didn't last long. They give you after-care ointment and tell you how to take care of your new art. I was in an out of there in 15 minutes. Thier interior is super nice and they just rennovated their offices. Randy has a cool private space in the back so I felt very special when I got my tattoo. They take credit card and cash so the transaction was nice and easy and they gave me a great deal for a good price. I came out of here feeling amazing and so happy that I finally got the tattoo that I've been DYING for!! Definitely recommend this place. They make you feel so comfortable and it was really fun coming here and crossing this off my bucket list. I'm very happy that Wildlife Tattoo could be a part of that. read more

This is a great tattoo spot the line work shading and coloring is on perfection . I used to pay twice as much money for a tattoo artist that thought she was the best and needed to overcharge. her name is Alyssa and works at Queens of Needles. I would never recommend her she overshades everything and always messes up my tattoos she will not fix it on the same session she wants me to come back for another time when she could've just fixed what she needed to fix in five minutes. The tattoo artist that I recommend is Dylan Vanyo he is a great tattoo artist who has done five outstanding tattoos within a a few days time. His Instagram is:@DVIANT_ART. 747-206-6959. The shop is called wildlife tattoo. I'm recommending all my friends and people who ask about my tattoos to Dylan for sure. read more

He's done it again! Randizzle for the win. Came in for a touch up on my Led Zeppelin trash polka art style tattoo he pretty much free handed and made it look even better which I didn't think he could do. Seriously some artistic talent that's natural. I always have complete confidence in him both artistically and as a down to earth person. He's done and freehanded all my tattoos but I'm crazy about his trash polka style... he's spot on and I know I'm in good hands. All the artists at the shop are great too, super friendly and helpful, they don't make you feel u comfortable At all like most places do and they have a vibe unique to their niche shop. Thank you randy and everyone for being a awesome and top notch! Ps Check out a pic of my tattoo read more

I can't say enough great things about Wildlife Tatoo! They came highly recommended to me but I was still nervous. The owner was kind and welcoming and was punctual. I didn't have to wait for my appointment he was right on schedule. With over 25 years of experience he helped me choose the right size and looks of my tatoo and went above and beyond to make sure it was perfect! All the equipment was sanitized and very clean. His artistry is amazing! He is a artist first then a tatoo artist. They also do piercings there. You can't go wrong scheduling an appointment with Wildlife Tatoo. Ask for "Ceelos". He did my Tatoo and my friend's tattoo and we love them! They're 5 star plus!! read more
