The Western Rose

I recently had a photo realistic tattoo of my son done by Dave in September and he is a GEM, absolutely incredibly talented and I can’t wait to see him grow as an artist and get another done by him. I haven’t had one done by Reagan but her work is magical as well (hopefully one day I can get one of her beautiful moons!). Her and Dave were so much fun and completely comfortable to talk with while being tattooed. I’ve also been lucky enough to have work done by Ali in the past who is another absolutely talented artist and one of the sweetest women I have ever spoken with. I haven’t had the opportunity to meet Victoria since she was on maternity leave when I visited but I’m sure she is just as crazy talented and another beautiful soul to get art from (Her fun flashes are adorable!). Western Rose is the real deal and I refuse to go anywhere else.

Dave Ham is one of a kind. He puts all of his effort and talent into all of his work. I haven’t gotten to experience Reagan Mauldin tattoos, but I know she has amazing work as well. Western Rose is a great studio and the atmosphere is truly healing. If you can get on these books, you’re in for the best experience of your life.

Vic is my go to artist in town! She’s incredible, so sweet and very talented. She has my favorite style of art and also does the get what you get, which I love since I just want random tattoos. I would 100% recommend Vic to anyone looking for an artist who does colorful traditional style tattoos.

I was lucky enough to be tattooed by Dave Ham and wow… I feel like I am watching the rise of a tattoo master. Dave is such a skilled artist and his personality is equally amazing. It was the most enjoyable tattoo experience I have ever had. While getting tattooed I got to chat with Reagan and watch her work. Her work is so whimsical and beautiful, I managed to snag a spot with her and I cannot wait to see what she comes up with. If you want to walk into a tattoo shop without anxiety knowing you will get a stunning piece of art and meet some amazing people this is the spot.

The Western Rose is BY FAR the best tattoo shop I’ve ever been to! The environment and the artists are all so welcoming. I felt very safe and comfortable from the moment I stepped foot in the door! I have had the pleasure of getting several tattoos from Victoria and I look forward to many more! All of the artists are insanely talented and have different art styles. If you are looking for a wonderful tattoo experience, the Western Rose is the place!

Western Rose is by far my favorite studio in Pensacola! I’ve been tattooed by Reagan, Dave, and Vic and all 3 were amazing. They all took the time to design my tattoo and make sure it’s what I wanted. Reagan is an illustrative genius and I recommend her to everyone I meet. Dave’s realism is insane and Vic arguably has the best flash in town. I highly recommend western rose to anyone looking to get tattooed!

Top tier tattoo shop. I got tattooed by Dave Ham. If you know you know! The shop is very clean and inviting. Dave is extremely professional and an absolutely phenomenal artist. Dave was able to help me piece together an amazing tattoo over multiple sessions. The studio space is eclectic and inviting, as well as extremely clean. 10/10 would recommend The Western Rose for anyone looking for a great work of art.

I have been tattooed multiple times by Reagan, Victoria, and Dave and I have to say they are the best tattoo artists and wonderful people. They are all so kind and truly talented. The shop is cozy and unique and the atmosphere is unmatched - so friendly and welcoming to all, LGBTQ+ and women included. You will leave with a great new piece of art and a smile on your face, guaranteed. Best shop around. ❤️

My wife and I been getting tattooed by Vic for two years and she has given us multiple, high quality tattoos. She listens to our ideas and concerns, each time, giving us amazing solid tattoos.
Vic has done a small cover up on my wife’s arm and a fairly large cover up on majority of my thigh.
Vic definitely makes the space feel safe and welcoming, while also doing rad work.

I received my first tattoo from Dave at The Western Rose. I’ve spent years looking off and on for a local artist, and when I saw his portfolio, I knew he was the one. The shop is clean and charming, with a convenient location near Ever’man in downtown. Dave is professional and easy going, he walked me through the process and I left with a tattoo that I love. I’ll definitely be back!
