Jared was very knowledgeable, personable, and above all, very caring. I have extremely sensitive skin and he took his time to make sure I was comfortable and my tattoo would turn out how I wanted it too. My husband and I felt very welcomed and comfortable and will be returning for more work!

Jarod was so friendly, chill and relatable. It was a very relaxing experience and their set up is so cool. Very nice place, very professional.

Anyone that tells you (especially without being asked) how good they are at their job, and how much experience they have, before doing any actual work, typically are nowhere near as good as they think they are.
The people who are truly the best at what they do don't have to tell you how good they are. The reviews, word of mouth, and results speak for themselves.

Wish I could get some type of compensation or free work done to fix this mess on my leg done here. It was okay until the color was started. Even if itโs normal to have blotchy color between sessions, the colors are way darker thank they should be. Not sure if painting is similar to tattooing or not; but when I painted rosalina I started with a more whitish tan for her hair not straight bright yellow. Just wanted to share my thoughts and the $1000 piece of work Iโve been stuck with and ignoring for the past year. Would love to have worked on but worried it will just get worse since thatโs what happened to me already. Outline was great then it just got worse and worse.

I went in and got a tattoo a little over a year ago when I made the appointment I was not made aware that I was being tattooed by an apprentice until I had got there. Everything was going all right and initially I liked the tattoo once it got finished. But a few months after I got it done I reached out about getting a few fading spots touched up and they were very rude. And now a little over a year later the lines are faded and sloppy, doesnโt look good! I used to swear by this place, but after this experience I am not sure I will go back.

I've had the best tattoo experience ever at Outkast. Josh has been a wonder to work with, and he had done any excellent job giving me the tattoo I've wanted for decades. He drew my design according to my request (and made it better than imagined) and he doesn't drill into the skin like some tattooists in my past experiences elsewhere.
The tattoo process was comfortable and of course sanitary. He didn't mind talking and joking, or just sitting in silence. My tattoo took 3 different visits which took a few hours each, and every time I started to feel uncomfortable with my pain level, he immediately stopped.
The shop is well decorated to keep your eyes busy as you look around, there are TV's playing movies, shows, or anything you request, as well as music to keep your mind off the buzz of the tattoo machine.
I fully recommend Outkast, and Josh, to anyone looking to get their first or just their next tattoo. Thank you so much!

My friend and I went in for matching tattoos and Kyle overworked our tattoos. He went over mine 4 times and my friends 3 . When he was finished he didnโt even clean it off he just wiped it with sani solution and put salve on it and was done. He left ink all over our foot. The words on mine are raised and scaring and the birds on my friends have lost color among other things. When we went in to see about a partial refund we were told that was just how foot tattoos were, which my friend has one on her other foot she has had for awhile that looks perfectly fine, how it was our fault ect.. They refused to take any responsibility for the mistake at all and wouldnโt give any kind of refund. This place is very unprofessional and I would not recommend them to anyone.

To be fair Iโm giving a combined review for 2 different experiences. Josh was great. Got what was requested done very well, and quickly, for a great deal. Great customer service, and by that I mean he was very professional and didnโt talk much outside of what was necessary to complete the work. I tipped him very well to consider this.
Kyle on the other handโฆ for what itโs worth, his work looks great. His pricing reflects how he feels about you, and he made this clear from the very beginning, and I wasnโt able to tip him because he charged me ahead of time because he felt my โdemeanorโ was off and that I was arguing with him by asking literally any questions at all. I didnโt cuss or raise my voice, yet he continued to be as rude as possible for someone who apparently had nothing booked for the day. I can see why. He wasnโt tipped, not because I donโt tip, but because he didnโt provide me an opportunity to tip by charging me ahead of time, unlike Josh, but had he given me the opportunity to tip, he wouldnโt have deserved it. I canโt afford any legal trouble right now but Iโm sure someone someday will have a chat with him in the parking lot about the way he likes to speak to people if he keeps it up. I wonโt be going back to him, and I will pass the recommendation on to anyone who I know might be interested.
Josh gets a 5, Kyle gets a 2 and only because the work was well done.
