Best Tattoos Collective

I went to Steven a few years ago to get a tattoo done by him. At the time, he was at another shop but I had seen his work before. This shop hes at now is a welcoming experience and if you're getting work done for 5+ hours, you get to learn a little about about everyone there instead of sitting in silence with blaring music you cant talk over. Ever since then, hes the one I go to for my tattoos, especially black and white/realistic styles. And if you are a smoker or cant handle sitting for long periods of time, he will work with you until the tattoo is finished 😊

Steven did a small rib tattoo for me. It was an extremely meaningful tattoo and he took the time to make a custom piece that was exactly what I was looking for. It looks great and the color stayed very nicely even with it being in such an odd spot. I can't wait to go back to him soon for another one :)

So here is the deal. None of these guys wanted to work. Walked in was barely acknowledged. When we were acknowledged it was uncomfortable as if we didn’t belong. Mind you we are both fully tattooed. Was looking for a small tattoo, having another tattoo in the same area of similar size I know how much. They wanted to charge $150/hr. Standard for high quality, but in the same sentence said that the tattoo minimum was $100 for that area. ??? Everyone was rude and I would say don’t even waste you time. Hit up a more reputable place. You will thank yourself later.

the atmosphere is great and friendly. the place is very clean and very professional. ask for Andre! he made me feel comfortable and my first tattoo experience well worth it. would definitely recommend his designs!

Buddies of mine and myself have been getting inked at this shop for a few years, with the prior owner and formal owner. We have always been treated with respect and fellas are down to Earth. That being said I always trust Steve (IG | Stevenalf) when it comes to my tattoos, I have developed an awesome relationship with my artist. I know when I come in I'm in good hands from creative design, to laying the ink properly, to post care! Without a doubt do not hesitate to check him out.

Got my first tattoo from Steven, an odd mix of sacred geometry mixed with something special to me. From start to finish, i couldn't be more happy with my experience. I have since come back for my tattoo needs and have never been let down. Highly recommend!

I went to get a Monroe piercing back in December of 2016. My sister recommended the place for her tattoo so I thought I would get a piercing here. I was greeted by Holly who seemed very nice and professional, she did explain the procedure to me and marked the area for me before we began. The procedure was fairly quick and easy however the stud seemed very tight however she assured me it was loose to accommodate the swelling. I obviously swelled as she told me but about 2 or 3 days later I noticed the flat disk on the inside of my mouth was no longer visible and was swallowed by my own skin. I called up the shop and she assured me that it was normal and that the skin would eventually fall off and create its own little dent inside my mouth to prevent any chance of tooth decay. I called about a week later just to reassure myself that this was normal and she told me that it was and not to worry about it and to come in check after the holidays . I trusted her professional opinion and just left it at that eventually around New Year's is when my swelling had subsided and I decided to go by the shop to get it checked out to my dismay I was told that she no longer works there and they didn't have a piercer available to look at my piercing. At first I wasn't bothered the piercing looked cute but then the more the swelling went down the more the piercing stuck out about a half a centimeter off of my face and it looked ridiculous. I then went to at least five to ten different piercing and tattoo shops to see if they can work with my piercing and nobody could. I did however eventually come back to best tattoos and their piercer by the name of Loki had offered to try to help me with the piercing but he said it was too deep and that it would require stitches so unfortunately he couldn't help me. Needless to say I went to the ER and spent more than $600 to get it removed. It had been swallowed by my skin so deep the doctor had to take it out of the front of my face. It was a painful experience and my lip was numb for about a month but luckily it finally healed in there is just a slight small scar but no hole in my face. My suggestion would be not to get a piercing here but hopefully they have a better staff now than they did back then.

I recently have been coming in and getting all my sailor tattoos that I couldn’t afford when I was a sailor. LOL and Jacob White has been amazing and has done a fantastic job!!! best work anywhere!!

Steven did a memorial tattoo for my mom and I am so i love with it. He could not have made something better to represent my mom. I live in Gainesville and will travel to him any time I need a tattoo. Truly great experience cannot wait to get more! I thank him all the time cos giving me a gorgeous tattoo to remember my mom by.

So Nick is a friend from high school and he did a memorial piece for my baby girl that passed in August of last year and it is a masterpiece. I cry almost every time I look at it. Not only are they all super sweet but I felt comfortable and I CANNOT wait to go back to get my next one. I definitely recommend them to everyone that asks me where I got this beautiful phenomial tattoo. Thank you again!!!
