I LOVE Tattoo Paradise! I’ve literally gotten all of my tattoos here because they’re attentive, honest, open, well-priced, ethical, kind, clean and quick. Every single artist does great work and I was lucky to stumble upon them

Terrible service, front desk staff are arrogant and cannot give you a quote until they make you wait for 45+ mins, then another 90 mins to actually get a tattoo. Getting a tattoo is also an experience - they don't understand thus they ruin it, also they don't allow you to take pictures, to what? I don't know the walls are full of low quality design anyway

My sisters and I all got piercings here last weekend after Embassy Piercing cancelled our appts at the last minute and didn’t bother to let us know... I wish I had gotten the names of the piercer (I think it was Pattie?) and the guy at the front desk (had a British sounding accent). She was super quick, professional, and did a great job walking me through what she was doing and how to care for my nose piercing. The gentleman at the front desk could tell my sister-in-law was nervous, and he tactfully steered her back to us before her turn, suggesting we might want to give her some encouragement beforehand. Everyone was very kind and patient; I will definitely come here if and when I finally work up the courage to get that tattoo I’ve always wanted... 😅

Gordie Jones did a cute nice fox for me, he was pretty quick and def light handed. Highly recommend Gordie!

I honestly just went there this morning as a walk in and had a great experience. It was a rather spur-of-the-moment tattoo, but I’ve known that I wanted to get something similar for a while.
I went with one of my friends and the lady at the front desk was nice and polite to both of us. Only a couple minutes of wait before we were brought to the back. My tattoo was done by Tom Kenney and he was really nice. He listened to my questions, understood my input, and encouraged me through the pain. He was also listening to me the whole time I was rambling on! I’m in chemistry so I got trinitrotoluene tattooed on my sternum and I would periodically look down and say “a nitrous group is done!” or “half of the benzene ring is through!” and he was joking back with me about how I’m the first person he’s ever done a molecule tattoo on who knew what they were talking about!
Yes, it was a little pricey, but putting together the size of the art, the time it took to do it, where it would be and how Tom would have to deal with a customer in pain and cracking bad jokes because she’s in pain, I felt like the price was fair. The only other slightly negative thing I could say is that the lines are slightly crooked (not really noticeable unless you’re looking closely), but again it was rather painful and I twitched a lot. But I also know that this can be easily fixed with the free (within six months) touch up!
That was a long post, but my whole experience was really great and the people who worked there were really nice. Thank you!

I got a tattoo here years ago.. and I recently went in to buy a new nose ring as mine fell out.

The women at the counter looked at me as if I'd insulted them by being in their presence. They eventually asked me why I was there and directed me to the gentleman who I could order the nose ring through.

In short, my tattoo was great, and the gold nose ring I bought looks great in my nose, but the rudeness that the staff exudes is borderline unacceptable. I wouldn't, in good conscience, send a friend there for any services.

Super amazing staff, as soon as you walk in they check you in. Friendly, you definitely feel like you’re in a good comfortable space, even with the whole pandemic they keep everything clean and sanitized. David took care of my tat and he definitely did that 🔥 the lines and shading was so clean and nice. Will be coming back for sure!

Love this place! Always are super professional and kind. Got my nose pierced there and had them switch out my studs a couple times, great experience each time. The jewelry they offer is very high quality and I have had no problems with it. Overall a very trust-worthy place, would recommend highly.

David C. is the best. Very quick only took him a hour and few minutes to finish. Line work and everything is clean. But however this shop is very pricey but worth the money. I’m completely satisfied with my tattoo but for $500 I believe I could’ve got a lot more done to the tattoo and I could’ve after I spoke to David. So when you go here just make sure you completely know what you want. If I would’ve said something I could’ve got more work done i’m very anti-social lol. But this shop is worth it! I really recommend David and Eddie!

Casey Tran

David is amazing! I sent him a few inspiration photos and he came up with a beautiful design. It is original and incorporates all the pieces I wanted and I couldn't be happier. He made me feel really comfortable for my first tattoo.
