Alan's Cool Ink is a tattoo and piercing shop located in Destin, Florida. The shop offers a variety of services including tattoos, body piercings, ear piercings, and tattoo removal. The shop is open from 12:00 pm to midnight on Fridays and closed on all other days of the week.
The shop has received mixed reviews from customers. Some customers have praised the shop for its excellent service and high-quality tattoos. One customer even mentioned that they traveled an hour from Panama City to get a tattoo from the shop's guest artist from Spain. Another customer appreciated the shop's strict adherence to Florida law and cleanliness standards.
However, other customers have had negative experiences with the shop. One customer was unhappy with a cover-up tattoo they received and felt that the shop did not deliver on their promises. Another customer was turned away because their last name did not match their parent's ID, and they felt that the staff was rude.

Stella is a great piercer. She is very precise and a perfectionist. Not to mention her amazing personality!

Best tattoo experience! Everyone was friendly and made us feel like family! Andrew did two tattoos for my son and one for me. He is an talented artist and a great person! We enjoyed the five and a half hours we were there, laughing and having a good time while getting the work done. Best shop I have ever been too! The shop is nice and clean as well. We will definitely be back next time we are in town for some ink! Thank you Andrew for the awesome tattoos and making us feel so comfortable and at home!

My husband and I LOVED our experience at Alan’s Cool Ink! We’ve both been wanting tattoos for awhile and it was a “spur of the moment” decision. We called ahead for a consultation, spoke with Andrew, made an appointment, and was in and out fairly quick for the consultation as well as the appointment the following day! Andrew did great work on our tattoos and was so easy to hangout with and talk to.
Great artists and a great/clean environment.

My band came down to Destin for the weekend to do some shows and we stopped into Alan's to check out the selection. Stella was so helpful and amazing with her knowledge of all the products. We spent about $150 on goodies and plan to definitely come back the next time we roll through town! Thanks!

This shop is top notch, polite, clean and friendly environment. Are hold themselves very strict to florida law having a government issued photo i.d. they cross all I's and dot the T's. Being by the book says a lot.
Finding a trust worthy, honesty and clean studio these days are few and between. All artists portfolio's are laid out on the register so you can pick the artist and style you like.
Highly recommend the studio. They need more then 5 stars

My friend and I walked in and the place felt right to us. Earlier in the day we went to two other tattoo shops that tried to quote us astronomical prices. This place has fair reasonable prices. It feels clean, private, and relaxed, and the artist was so fun to talk to while taking care and quality in his work. I’m so happy with my new ink!

Couldn’t get any service at counter for over ten minutes. No greeting and no concern for us as we walked around and attempted to look at jewelry. The two employees discussed random events of the day and then one ordered some food while we stood there needing assistance.

Me and my sister went here to get our nose pierced, but we are 14 so we had to have parental id. Our mom showed the id and they printed it onto a paper and then wouldn’t let us get piercings bc our last names didn’t match? Never coming back bc that’s ridiculous. The workers were so rude, my other sister is 16 and she has an id so she could get hers pierced but the woman who done it said that she wouldn’t have pierced my nose anyways because i had an attitude. They can keep their needles bc i ain’t coming back.

We had a large group walk in all wanting small tattoos. They fit us all in that night and we’re extremely welcoming and helpful! Xuxu tattooed me and she was absolutely amazing! So professional and really just wanted to be sure I liked my tattoo. I would 1000% go back if I happen to be in Destin! The staff was just so great. Truly one of the most welcoming and open tattoo shops I have been in. Couldn’t recommend them more!!

We popped in for my niece to get her nose pierced and the guy was just awesome! Very friendly, yet professional, and made her feel comfortable and at ease (as much as can be expected!). The shop is clean, organized and overall one of the nicest looking that I've been in.
