7ink Miami Tattoos

Adrian does amazing work!! He did a tattoo for my wife and I and we were extremely happy with the work. I’ve followed him years and we were super pleased with the work. Great small shop, really clean and a nice chill vibe.

David is an amazing artist and he really makes sure you are comfortable!

Noots (Adrian) is the best. Been seeing him for all my tattoos since 2009. Great person and high skilled! On time, reliable, and fair with his pricing.

My experience with 7ink Miami Tattoos has been nothing short of amazing. Friendly, clean, and fun atmosphere. My artist Adrian is just phenomenal. For each piece we have done, and there have been a total of 4, I have brought him an idea, and he has breathed life into it. Creating, in my very humble opinion, a beautifully themed full sleeve of interconnected pieces that form a whole, and while it might just seem like some cool tatoos (I get nothing but great comments regarding them) they have so much meaning to me. I am so thankful to Adrian and 7ink for giving me this gift. So, if you are looking for a place where your ideas can become not just a reality, but art, look no further than 7ink Miami.

Great quality tattoos, very spacious area. Adrian was the artist we visited and he was very helpful and professional. The quality of the art work was quick and amazing.

Shop is very clean. Everyone is very polite. Adrian is an amazing artist. You bring him ideas and he just takes them to the next level.

Very high quality artist at this studio. Book by appointment only. My artist is David Gonzalez. I drive from Orlando to see him and he is well worth the drive. You can check his artwork out on his Instagram @davidgonzalezart

I've been to several artists throughout the country, and have two arms full of tattoos. 7ink Miami has a clean, professional tattoo shop, and David Gonzalez is a real deal artist. He's well studied, practiced, methodical, and calculating with his art, and understands how permanent, important, and meaningful a tattoo is to any client.

Most folks with tats end up getting more than a few, and understand the process can be time consuming and painstaking to get what you’re looking for, and what you love. Anyone with a bad tattoo story knows it’s worth taking the extra time and being patient.

Dave has a light touch, and uses silent needles (I had never seen these previously, and kind of missed the “buzzzzz” of a tattoo shop I was used to at first). The shop is a bit of a hike to get to, but worth the trip for top notch work. Dave will work with you on design, is reasonable on price, and among the very best artists I’ve seen in Miami and at other conventions, expos, and art galleries.

If you want to end up with an stock butterfly tattoo on your foot or a tribal tramp stamp, go to Ocean Drive, have an overpriced giant margarita and regret it the rest of your life with a terrible story from Miami beach. That - or - make a better life choice, and go to 7ink out west in Miami. Spend the day getting a tattoo you’ll love the rest of your life after, and find a good craft mojito later in the evening or another day.

The best way to end up with good art is to work well with your artist. Respect their time, and be specific and realistic with your tattoo designs and expectations. Good work takes time. Great work takes a lot of patience and a lifetime of practice and experience.

Looking through the 7ink portfolio, you will see the caliber of the work, and the main reasons you should consider Dave versus the other best artist and shops in Miami or Miami Beach.

In the spirit of the 7ink Miami tattoo shop, here’s 7 things to think about before getting your tattoo.

1. Pay for your drawings in advance, and keep them for future sittings.

2. Start subtle – pick a part that isn’t always visible, and won’t stretch a lot. Top of the arms are good start.

3. Pick your pieces in 3-5 hour sitting increments. Understand how long you’ll sit in the chair. It’s not always a pleasant experience. You’ll be happy to have some closure after each one, but large pieces can take hundreds of hours, so you’ll have an unfinished piece for a long time if you try to go TOO BIG.

4. Start small – get a few pieces you think might fit a theme. Be prepared for people to ask about your tattoos the more of them that you get.

5. Working your way down an arm or leg is a good start. Some places are not fun to start with a new artist on. Plan a few pieces, and make sure the placement works for the piece.

6. Have realistic expectations about drawing something custom and how long it can take. Respect the artists’ time outside of work. You’ll likely be booking a month out for great artists – respect their time, and don’t miss an appointment.

7. Buy some schwag (t-shirts and hats) and tip your artist. They’re leaving you with permanent art that you will be asked about for a lifetime.

If you're thinking about a tattoo - think it through. Spend some time, and think about it and make sure it's something you will always enjoy

Imagine wearing the same t-shirt for several months. If you think you'd like it, imagine it there for the rest of your life. If you still think you'd dig it - call Dave at 7 ink and make it that tat you always wanted.

Top notch tattoo shop with great artists. Our tattoo artist is Dave and he is AH-MAZING! The shop is super clean and located close to the FL turnpike and FIU.

Amazing tattoo shop with experienced artist!! I wouldn't go anywhere else.
