I started getting tattooed at Proton back when they were in Cortland! My husband and I have had quite a few tattoos done here and then we sent in many family and friends in. We have never had a bad experience and the work has always been nothing but the best. Price is always amazing and work is always above expectations.

I got my first ever tattoo here a few years back, a flower of life on my back done by Erin Boyle who has now gone to Chicago to continue her career. But then got my second tattoo done here as well, a Lord of the Rings tattoo on my right calf, done by April High, who still works at Proton. Both of my tattoos were done perfect and I have nothing but great things to say about this shop and everyone who works there. Cant wait to make my appointment soon for my third tattoo!!

I have been collecting art from the crew at Proton for almost 14 years now, and I am always blown away by their professionalism, skill, and general radness. Their facility is super welcoming, clean, and just a fun place to be. I've had a great tattoo experience there every time.

Chris May, you are a true madman. I came to you with virtually no idea of what I wanted, all I knew is that I wanted my tattoo to be done by you. After following you for a few years now, I finally pulled the trigger and set up an appointment with you and I was not disappointed at all. I said I wanted something weird. Black. Lots of teeth. Super laid back guy, no hassle, and you were completely straight forward and honest with me about pricing. I showed up in person, and you insulted me about my size (joking), and lowered the price of my tattoo even though I was willing to spend significantly more regardless. Thank you for being honest and not just taking me for my money. No wonder you’ve been in business for 20 years. Keep doing weird stuff.

Highly recommend Proton for all your tattoo and piercing wants. I have worked with Chris May and he has exceeded my expectations every time. I also brought my daughter in for peircings and Mike was great with her! I am excited to see the new shop...looks pretty stellar.

Proton has been my number one tattoo and piercing place. I just recently got. Memorial tattoo for my grandmother that just passed away. I don't think I would have gone any were else for it. I have also in the past have gotten piercings done here and Mike it super kind and knowledgeable about the whole process. He will make you feel comfortable about your first piercing or your 20th.

I have been going to Proton exclusively for the last 20 years. They are always kind and professional. Their artistry is out of this world! Jon Bowman has done all of my tattoos and he is truly talented! 100% recommend Proton for all your tattoo needs!

Aside from laughing my way through almost all of my tattoos from Proton (since every artist there is incredibly social with a great sense of humor) I have never been more proud of the killer artwork I leave with! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars, honestly!
