Gulf Coast Ink Studio 251

Shawn dewayne did my sleeve of jesus cross and the Angel's during a tap out session. Each guy to all to and bs with while you get your tattoo can really tell he enjoys his job. My tattoo looks like it came right from the photo and it very nicely without any issues. I will continue going here my wife and I have both got ink here. Clean and family oriented , this is a shop that is worth the wait . I have numerous tattoo and shawn has done my best work.

I had been looking for a new tattoo artist and was told about Shawn and he didn't disappoint. He did an amazing job!! Everyone was super nice. My nephew decided to get his first tattoo and Chelsea did his and it looked amazing as well. I will definitely be back and will recommend!!

During my trip in Gulf Shores, we looked for various tattoo places and a nice waitress at a restaurant recommended Studio 251 to us. I was so nervous about getting my first tattoo but after the nice welcoming my friends and I got from the artists there and seeing how great of an environment we were in, I know I definitely felt more comfortable. Gary was the tattoo artist that took on my idea of the tattoo I wanted. Seeing him draw it out made me smile because it was better than the photo I showed and he made it come to life! So glad he was the one to do my tattoo and so thankful for the friendly faces that greeted us and were patient with us the whole time we were there. This is definitely the place to go!

Absolutely loved these guys! I've been debating getting my tattoo for 4 years and I'm so happy I waited and went to them. Shawn did an amazing job and I can't wait to get more work. Very professional and comfortable place to be around! I would recommend everyone to go here.

Couldn’t ask for a better experience. Very clean and employees are very respectful. They take the time to get to know their clients and what they want. I have had multiple tattoos done with them. Everytime they make me feel at home and like family. Would recommend them 100 times over. Some of the best artists in the area.

Awesome place to get a tattoo! Everyone is friendly, professional, and extremely hygienic. Shawn did my work and not only nailed the imagery, but was sociable while able to work efficiently! Definitely talented to say the least! Not to mention good pricing! Check this spot out next time you think about getting some ink, you won’t regret it!

I was apprehensive about getting my first tattoo. But, last night when I walked into Studio 251, I was greeted with such kindness and was relieved to find such a clean and inviting facility. My fears were shot down immediately. Shawn listened to the concept I wanted, I showed him some pictures, and then he started on a design that I instantly fell in love with. From there on, he took things very slow for my sake, and created something that was stunning. His attention to detail and shading work really make this thing pop, and I couldn’t be happier.

A few other family members got their first tattoos last night as well, and we were all super impressed and put at ease by their friendliness. These guys aren’t your stereotypical tattoo artists, they’re such great people, so don’t be scared!

Chelsea is phenomenal! She is an awesome and talented artist. I didn't have any bruising or swelling as I did with all my previous tattoos. Studio is clean, everyone is fun and professional.

Chelsea is fantastic! She custom designed memorial pieces for our whole family and accommodated us all in one day. She is a true professional! You will not be disappointed!

Blake and Chelsea are the best. Chelsea work is flawless and highly recommend anyone in there
