Carmel Tattoo INK

My experience with Michael at Carmel Tattoo INK was amazing - he did a great job on my tattoo! Not only is Michael an incredible artist but he was easy to work with and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. Everyone was very warm and welcoming, which I know can be hard to find in a tattoo parlor. Don't hesitate to work with them. I can't wait for my next tattoo! Thank you Michael!

I am currently 1/3 through my sessions with Michael. This is my first tattoo with any ambition. I had a value brand tattoo done in a basement shop earlier this year, and will never go to less than a professional again after my experience at Carmel Ink. It started with a meet up about a month ago. I sat down with Michael and discussed what I wanted, the reasons, and the source material. He had previous with Dark Tower tattoo's so we discussed potential designs he could implement. I have no artistic sense, so I am happy that he could take the thoughts of what I wanted, and implemented them into his own unique artwork. On the day of, his area was very clean & he was great at giving me a rundown of what we would accomplish that day. He bared with me through some of the unexpected pain(Not incredibly bad)and did a great job of giving tips to distract myself. After a 2 hour session, we are 1/3 done. The rose is BEAUTIFUL with the shading. He walked me through proper tattoo care for my tattoo and we booked our next appointment. Overall, very happy so far and would highly recommend.

Got my first ever tattoo by Michael and dont plan on stopping anytime soon. Everyone in the store is super nice and friendly too. The time and detail ALL the artists put in can’t go unrecognized. From the line work to the shading to just the overall experience it was awesome. If you’re looking for a clean, detailed, tattoo this is your shop.

Carmel Ink is your best bet for the best tattoo. It's an amazing place to go for your tattooing or piercing needs. I just recently had my first tattoo done there by Adam and it was a great experience. He put any worries I had to ease almost immediately, was very knowledgeable, helpful and informative as well as being a nice and relaxed guy. Adam was very helpful during consultation and about any aftercare needs, and the tattoo process itself was easy, fun and worry free. He took my idea and turned it into even better than I was imagining and blew my expectations out of the water. The tattoo place itself is in a nice, easy to get to/find location, and the environment inside is even better, it's relaxing, stress free, clean and professional. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a tattoo and a fun personable and professional experience. 100% will come back for any tattoos in the future. All in all definitely a 5 star experience although I would put more stars if I could :)

I have been to Carmel Tattoo INK several times over the past few years, and each experience is better than the last. Recently I went in with 2 of my friends, and had Adam as our artist. He was incredibly personable, and made us all feel at ease. His attitude made the experience far and away the best I've had a tattoo parlor. If you ever get a tattoo done here, request Adam for the best possible experience

Great experience! Got my first tattoo from Michael and it was amazing. He was very nice and helped me prepare for my tattoo in the best way possible. Very clean and inviting place with skilled artists to do any kind of work. 10/10 would recommend for your next tattoo.

I had a great experience!! This was my first tattoo and I really wasn’t sure what to expect. Michael was very professional and explained everything clearly. He definitely put my anxiety/concerns at ease. The tattoo, a cross with wings on my upper back, turned out great! I couldn’t imagine a better result! I look forward to finishing the remainder of my tattoo at my 2nd session in a couple of weeks. I would highly recommend Michael for anyone looking for a high quality tattoo

My experience with Michael at Carmel ink tattoo was absolutely awesome. I went in for a consultation and he was so kind and knowledgeable and helped me with the final details, so I set up an appointment. When I went back to get my tattoo he was so nice and made me feel very comfortable. We did some final tweaking on the design prior to him starting. It was fun and painless. I would recommend him and the shop to anybody. I already have my next tattoo design started and that is exactly who I’m going back to. Everyone in the shop that I meant was very nice and very helpful. ***** Thank you so much. This tattoo has very deep emotional meaning to me,which Michael was aware of and he took that into consideration when finalizing the design. and I couldn’t be more happy with the outcome 💕💜💕. I returned for my second tattoo done by Michael. My second experience was just as good as my first.He is great. He is very personable and kind and talented. He will definitely be the man to do my next tattoo. ❤️❤️❤️
