I went here for my first tattoo ever and had a great experience!! Both Trent and Erica did an amazing job on the artwork and with helping me through the process! The studio was also really clean. I will absolutely be going back!

I love this studio! I wont go anywhere else for my tattoos and can't recommend Trent and Erica enough. They are as full of talent and creativity as they are genuinely good people. They're open to ideas and ready to offer up some great ideas of their own if need be. Highly recommend!

Trent did my tattoo and was absolutely wonderful. The entire time I was in the chair he made sure I was comfortable. Erica was working on another client while I was there and they just made it feel like a casual hangout. I will definitely be back as soon as I can!

Came here for my first tattoo hoping for a good experience and quality tattoo. I gave the artist my original idea and they disagreed with it and made me change it completely instead of working with me to design one based off the original concept. And the one we did end up choosing, they changed completely and only showed me one prior photo of a “rough draft” despite the fact I was told I would be communicated back and forth with. I was good with what we chose but I was not good with the result. Not even a week after getting the tattoo and doing all the proper treatments I was informed of, the tattoo started fading. And not just fading but also ink spread to where it wasn’t meant to be. But what bothers me most is how bad it faded and how low the quality of the work is. Some lines are thick and some are thin and the lines themselves are wavy. My skin shows through the ink and it just looks bad. There are full parts of the tattoo missing now. I don’t plan on coming back and I have to spend money to fix their mistake.
Other than the work, the artists are friendly and the place is generally clean.

Best Tattoo shop in town! Was debating on a chest piece for about a year. Couldnt find a shop where i liked the work. Spoke to Trent gave him my idea and with in a day he had it drawn up and was ready to go! It turned out amazing! Erica and Trent are amazing and so friendly. The specials they do for the holidays shows how much they appreciate their customers. If you need a tattoo look no further. They can do it all! Thank you guys for amazing work and the most enjoyable tattoo experience anybody could ask for!! Cant wait for my next session!!!

The artists are wonderful, and I love that they are a 100% vegan tattoo shop! I had my very first tattoo done here by Erica. I got color portraits of my 2 dogs (one passed away). It is a very meaningful and sentimental tattoo, and Erica did a fantastic job! The whole experience was so wonderful! She had great music playing, and we talked about all kinds of things during the tattoo sessions. The tattoo didn't even hurt that much. I think using all natural care products during the process really helped. I loved everything and will be back for more tattoos!

There is some amazing artwork coming out of this studio!! I’ve been watching them on Facebook and was impressed!! I made a consultation appointment on their app, very easy. I ended up getting off work a little early and my tattoo was already done by my appointment time. Love my new ink! You were great to work with!

Trent was amazing. This was my first tattoo. The consultation a few days prior he went over thoroughly and gave his professional advice. The day before, Tent sent an amazing sketch of my tattoo. When I arrived, Trent made me feel totally relaxed. He coached me through the entire process, constantly making sure I was ok. The place is immaculate. I hit a gold mine. I would like to get a couple more tattoos. This is the only place I will go. Best experience ever.

Trent has done a few of my tattoos and drawn up some artwork for me and everything is amazing. He has a wonderful eye for details and really listened to me and gave his opinion of what would look best and where would be the best placement so that I would be the happiest. I just wish they were still in Maine so I could get some tattoos. Maine lost some excellent artists when Trent and Erica moved, but Illinois hit the jackpot with them. Hands down the best artist I've ever been to and it's going to hard as hell to find someone that does that caliber of work.
