I went to port city a couple weeks ago as a walk in and was thrilled with the experience! I had…read moretried Hardline the night before, and left less than impressed. After researching reviews, I decided to try port city. I had 2 simple pieces I wanted done, and walked in with cell phone pics to show them. Zach took a look at my pics, and quickly set about getting them drawn up. He asked a couple times if they looked the way I wanted them to, and made adjustments as I requested. He even went back and made one smaller after we put on the stencil and I didn't like the size. I also ended up adding a third small design, after he had already drawn up the other 2. He helped me decide on proper placement, and did an awesome job on them. They've healed now, and I love all three! The shop was very clean, and comfortable. The guys greeted me as soon as I walked in, and even joked around with my teen son. My son pulled out his computer to play on while he waited, and they were quick to offer their wifi password, which thrilled him! If I'm ever back in the area, they'll be who I go to! Definitely recommend the shop as a whole! My designs were quite simple, so I'm truly not sure about Zachs artistry outside of the small, clean lines he had to use on them, but I definitely wouldn't hesitate to go back to him for a more complex piece. Thanks guys!

We did set up a last minute appointment and wasn't a huge fan of waiting outside in cold weather for like 15-20 mins but it was due to very strict hygiene/ sanitation reasons. They also had us sanitize as we walked in so very clean! It's actually a pretty small shop inside but their prices are great for the art, they also are willing to work with your budget by adjusting size or design which is helpful if you are on a budget. Would recommend especially after they messaged later reinforcing that they are there if we needed anything later on. Thank you to Jimmy who did the tats and Max who got us the info to get us in!

Art fuel tattoos had great reviews so I booked a consultation with Brian. I showed him my family crest which was a rough picture. Brian tweaked it here and there and what a amazing job he did. Brian is truly a gifted artist. I came in Wednesday at noon and was there until 6. The staff made me feel like one of the family. Brian spent so much time to every detail. I was sooooo pleased. I hope he will display my tattoo on his website. It is truly a work of art. I highly recommend art fuel tattoos and definitely recommend Brian. Friends and family members are booking with Brian now.
