Clean Friendly Caring Great Service

Area 51 Tattoo is very clean & everyone is so friendly & caring. I have been going there for 15 years. Desi does all my tattoos. I wouldn't go any place else. Khalid is the owner of Area 51. Love it there!

Awesome Great Service Friendly Staff

I can't stress enough how awesome this place is. The owner Khalid is just amazing to work with (as well as all the others). They will always make sure you love the work you get done. At this point I will not get work done on me by anyone else, I've found my place! Moving out to LA this year so I'll have to fly back to get any work done haha

Professional Accommodating Recommended

Area 51 was recommended to me by a friend who has had several tattoos from here. They were very professional and accommodating. This was my first tattoo, and I will be going back for any future artwork as long as I live in the Midwest.

Great Service Clean and Sanitary Fantastic Job

TAYLOR IS THE BEST!! I've gone to him for my last two tattoos and have gotten non-stop compliments on both of them! Service is always wonderful, everything is always clean and sanitary, and all of A51's artists do a fantastic job. I won't go anywhere else

Talented Artist Friendly Staff Fun Atmosphere

Been going to Khalid for a couple of years working on a back piece. Everyone that sees the work so far has been very impressed! He's very talented and easy to work with and everyone in the shop is friendly and fun. Occasionally questionable music choices 😜

Professional Clean Friendly Attentive Highly Recommend

Khalid and his crew are true professionals. The shop atmosphere is very clean and feels more like your at a friend’s house instead of a tattoo parlor. I was a bit nervous touching up two old tattoos because I hadn’t been under the gun in over 20 years. Everyone was very attentive to me and answered all my questions prior to me making a appointment and during the day of my appointment. Khalid knocked the ball out of the park with my touch ups. None of my friends or family could believe the before and after pictures of my tattoos. I could tell everyone in the shop took pride in their work and believed in taking care of the customer. I would highly recommend Area 51.

Great Artists Beautifully executed work

The Artistry by Khalid at Area 51 is Stellar!
I had no Idea how my tattoo cover up would end up looking. Let me say that it not only hid the unwanted work, but blew me away with it's perfection.
For those who are on the fence as to whether or not to attempt a cover up, this is the place to go. Great Artists who know their trade and execute their work Beautifully.
