Had a few tattoos here from my main Artist Chuckie did great work as always. The shop was very friendly and chill, the people greeted me professionally and promptly, everything was clean and well lit. 5/5 couldn't recommend it more.

I went to protons as a walk in trying to get a small leg tattoo. When they told me the wait time was going to be 7 hours(which I know isnt ridiculous for a walk in) I remarked "well shoot I'm gonna check over at out on a whim" the guy I was talking to started BASHING out on a whim. Saying all the artists they have now are horrible and cant draw a line. But being crunched on time and really wanting this tattoo I said "f it" and went to check out out on a whim. They got me in right away and did an AMAZING job on a kokopelli tattoo on my calf. It was a good experience and it was very VERY reasonably priced. I love protons and all but the wait times are sometime ridiculous for a spur of the moment tattoo. Out on a whim will definitely see me again.

Kenny G is the greatest! He's very knowledgable. And the area where he does the piercing is very sterile, very clean, he makes sure you are relaxed and makes the piercing experience as fun as possible. Not to mention the reasonable pricing! Enjoy!
-I've gotten my cartilage and naval piercing there

Went to get my tongue pierced, and was excited. I have have my tongue pierced 2 times before and this this was just not right. First, they all look so angry when you walk in. They were not friendly. The guy who pierced my tongue wasnt really friendly either, he pierced my tongue and did it wrong. It was crooked and he had to take it out. Never will go back. I'm so disappointed and upset about this. He wasnt even sympathetic about what his did. Horrible place!

Justin and the crew at Out On a Whim tattoo are truly Masters in their craft!! Highly recommend them to anyone looking for great ink. Cannot say enough about the cover-up Norse sleeve that Justin did. One of a kind!!! Will be back again for the arm.

Attentive staff - helpful and welcoming! From the time I walked in, to the consult and my appointment...I felt comfortable. Justin did an awesome job and helped me pick and create a design. This shop is doing it right! Walk in and you'll see what I'm talking about 😁

Knowledgeable, incredibly friendly, happy to help!
They explained the process, aftercare, and notes they wanted me to make sure I knew before the piercing, as well as answering all questions readily!
