Stigma Ink Tattoo Studio

I got a tattoo done with Carlos Valdez, I told him in advance I made a mistake with the time of my appointment, was only 15 minutes late. He said he would work on the design the day of, then he was very rude when I asked for changes (I specifically asked for a certain size) then the third time he said it was going to be the last time he was making any changes (I only got through with it cause I really wanted to get my tattoo done that day). When I agreed to the design he asked if I was this demanding with everything in my life, to which I responded: Only with things that go permanently in my body. He said he was going to charge me $30 additional for all the changes (2) and for being late 15 minutes. The cashier said he could do anything cause he needed to charge me what the artist said. The tattoo is crooked to one side. Horrible experience!!!!

I got a piercing with Leo for the second time. He’s very nice and explains the whole healing process good. Very patient and explains the whole process.

I have known Telly for years, but finally got my first tattoo from him the other day. It was my first large piece and from the sketch to the final product I was amazed with his artistic ability. I highly recommend if you want an original piece, describe the key features you would like and let Telly use some of his own artistic touch. The whole staff is professional, the facility is clean, and their work is second to none. Highly recommend getting a piece done from these guys.

Love Stigma. Telly is a fabulous artist! He has done two beautiful pieces for me and I couldn’t be happier. The color is amazing and brilliant, he listens to his clients, is extremely professional and did I mention his artwork is fabulous!!! Couldn’t be happier and I’ll definitely return for more work! Thanks, Telly!

Rem did my conch for me when I went with my sister to get a piercing. Decided on the spot I wanted to get it done and he did a great job! Very friendly and everything was sanitary.

This place is amazing!!! Super comfortable atmosphere and everyone was very kind and friendly. I got a rook piercing and it was done beautifully and at a great price point. I have zero complaints about Stigma Ink and I will be recommending to all my friends :)))

I’m in LOVE with the result, Carlos was very professional, very attentive, every time he asked me if I was okay, if I felt good, if I was comfortable. HE exceed my expectations and I hope to return very soon... also i was a walk-in 🙃😂😬 and he was able to do everything on the same day. Thank youuuu Carlos, i hope to see you soon for my next tattoo ❤️ Also Chino was amazing very respectful. Thank you guys.

I was a little nervous when I started my Google search for a new tattoo artist in the Tampa Bay area. I only had one rather large tattoo on my right forearm and was looking for a specific style of roses to get on my left forearm to feel balance out. When I came across Stigma Ink's page and viewed their artist's work, I got really excited. John had a rose in his portfolio that was almost exactly what I wanted.
They responded to my email inquiry very quickly and after a brief but positive conversation with John about my tattoo idea I had an appointment for a consultation on Saturday. It was like I was a kid waiting for Christmas!
My mom and I were pleasantly surprised by how friendly the people at Stigma Ink are and how clean the shop was kept. I instantly fell in love with the tattoo John had drawn up for me and we decided to go ahead and get it done. We had originally decided to just do the outline work and then I would come back for the color later. After he finished our first session I decided I couldn't wait 2 more weeks to have the finished product so John went ahead and colored it that same day. Everyone we met at the shop that day was so professional and friendly. I received many compliments on my tattoo while we were in the process and I continue to receive compliments on it daily. The line work is so clean and it is unreal how saturated the color is. And don't get me started on the pearls, lol.
I have recommended and will continue to recommend Stigma Ink to anyone who will hear it. I cannot wait to continue my half sleeve of roses with John and have my other tattoo touched up and continued as well. They will be seeing a lot of me in the future! Thank you, Stigma Ink, and thank you John for my beautiful roses! See you guys real soon!

Honestly had the best experience here! Walked in and started chatting with Chino and decided to get my nipples pierced. He thoroughly explained how to take care of the piercings and also made the process super quick and almost painless. Definitely a must when it comes to getting any piercings! Chino won't let you down and he's a super fun guy to talk to!

This was by far my best tattoo experience. John was professional and his talent shows. The realistic, full color poppy flower tattoo he did on my arm looks beautiful and I get compliments on it daily. He was very friendly and accommodating, willing to listen to what I wanted and ultimately creating a clean and one of a kind tattoo. I will certainly be going back to him for more.
