Great service Patient artist Accommodating Quick service

Me and my sister both got our first tattoos with Lucia here. Our tattoos are exactly what we wanted & Lucia was super patient with us & changed things for us until it was perfect! We also were late to our appointment since we drove from Wisconsin & she was still available to get our tattoos done! She did the tattoos quickly which was also a plus! Go get your tat with Lucia!!

Art Gallery Professional Staff Intricate Tattoo Reasonable Price

Dinosaur studio is a diamond in the rough, from the minute you walk in you realize it's an art gallery, and that's exactly what you will get, a piece of art. The studio is clean and well-organized, with a courteous and professional staff. I had several sittings with Mark for my tattoo and it looks amazing, I have random people stopping me to compliment it and the ask me where I received it. I have no problem referring Dinosaur Studio to any of my friends, family or passerby's on the street. I had four tattoo's prior to going to Dinosaur Studio and none of them compare to the intricacy or professional appearance to the one I received from Mark. Dinosaur Studio is reasonably priced for the world-class art you will walk out with. I would not recommend any other tattoo studio!

Amazing Artist Compliments on Linework Easy to Work With Fantastic Piece Tattoo Guy for Life Great Apprentice

I have gotten one tattoo and a half sleeve from Mark. He is an amazing artist. I always get compliments on his linework.
He is easy to work with. I came in with dozens of references and a scattered mess of a tattoo idea and he made a fantastic piece for me.
Mark will be my tattoo guy for life.

p.s. His apprentice is quite the artist also.

unprofessional long wait time offensive content won't return

Very unprofessional! I went here to get a tattoo the guy said it would be 15-20 minutes wait since he was the only artist there and finishing up a tattoo. So I wait a whole hour and he's still not done with his client. In the meantime the guy at the front desk is watching some comedy with very offensive things being said that was very loud on a speaker in the shop. I will never come here again. Glad I didn't waste my money!

Great Artist Friendly Realistic Tattoo

I will never go anywhere else again! I came to Mark at Dinosaur Studios with less than a thought of what I wanted. By the time Mark was done with my design, I couldn't believe what I saw. It was remarkable!!!!! I suppose that is what you get when you find a tattoo artist with a illustration degree from college.! He was very clean, thourough, and friendly. Most of all, he was real. He didnt treat me like a customer so much as a friend. And I hardly knew him! I brought my wife to get her tattoo done. I cant believe how realistic her tattoo is... I will be going back!

Professional Clean Environment Talented Artists

I've gotten quite a bit of work done at this shop. Mark has done my whole right sleeve. I've always given him an idea and he has gone above and beyond what I expected for a tattoo.
I have also gotten some work done from a previous artist here.
I have yet to get anything done by Lucia but look forward to getting some work done by her in the near future.
Very professional, clean environment.
