I will not go anywhere else. I've had 3 tattoos done here. Professional and willing to work with you on your ideas. James and Martin have been great! All artists are top notch.

Wouldn't choose anywhere else to go for a piercing or tattoo! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The shop itself is very very clean and you can tell everyone takes pride in the work they do. Joey did a piercing for my mom and she was nervous but he stayed patient and professional. I got a tattoo done by ben and it exceeded my expectations! The prices are excellent for quality work! Would highly recommend to anyone.

Friendly staff, clean environment. The piercing specialist on staff is absolutely professional and clinical at all times. He goes at whatever pace is comfortable for you, and makes sure you're fully informed on the front end how things are going to go, and on the back end for aftercare and recovery.

My son placed a $50 deposit for a tattoo, then was told by his army recruiter that he could not get one after the fact. I called this shop and advised that he missed his appointment because he was enlisted and leaving for the army. He was even interested in them doing his tattoo when he got back from basic training (6 months later). They declined both!!! I guess this shop would rather keep his money then show respect to someone willing to serve the county. He will get his tattoos from a group that respects service members....Keep the money!!!

Joey, the piercing specialist, is incredibly professional and easy to work with. Any piercing in any location is greeted with the same polite and thorough information on projected pain level and aftercare. He works with you to make sure you're not in too much pain at any given time. Shop prices are more than fair.

Clean place. So much so that there's a faint bleach smell, even at 6pm on a Thursday. Bleach doesn't exactly smell great, but it's reassuring to know they keep they place clean. Knowledgeable staff. Wife had a piercing done here and our guy changed his gloves 4 times during the 10 minute procedure. We received oral and written after care instructions. While at the market to get some supplies, I had to call to clarify something and he walked through exactly what we needed. If I ever consider a tattoo, this will be the place.

I went here with my best friend. We called 4 other tattoo parlors and they were all booked. We called asylum and neither of us have heard much about them but we saw the art online and it was absolutely outstanding. Ben, worked my friend in it was a small tattoo but also needed to be perfected because it was in her moms hand writing. It was also her first tattoo I was so amazed at how patient he was with my friend considering she got her very first tattoo on her ribs! I 10/10 highly recommend this place tattoos and Ben was awesome!

The piercer Joey was great very professional and friendly. He explained everything very well and did an awesome job on my industrial piercing. Definitely will be going back for more piercings and tattoos in the future.

All of my tattoos have been done at Asylum. I get stopped on the street and asked about my tattoos everywhere I go because of the quality and detail of them. I have even been featured in a few tattoo publications because of my work.
Everyone is partial to their tattoo shop/tattoo artists for some reason, so I will say I am definitely biased to Asylum Tattoo, but with good reason.
-Asylum only uses vegan friendly pigments from the top pigment suppliers in the world and single use, disposable needles AND tubes.
-All piercing equipment is chemically sterilized, with single use disposable needles, and they carry top of the line jewelry from Industrial Strength and Anatometal.
-Everyone that works there is welcoming, whether it's your first tattoo or you're working on a full body suit, and each artist (while all very competent in a variety of styles) has their own unique stylistic preference, so whatever type of art you want, the guys at Asylum have you covered.
My breakdown of tattoo artist by style:
-Martin: realism and portraits
-Joe N.: traditional and mystic symbolism
-Shad: Japanese and color work
-Dustin: Neo-traditional and script
-James: illustrative color and black&gray work
Joey is the main piercer there, and is very knowledgeable about his trade. He is currently training an apprentice, Dani, who just did my second lobe piercings and did a fantastic job--she made sure that the alignment was perfect and was very thorough about aftercare.
I highly recommend Asylum to others. Go in and just BS with everyone. This is the kind of shop where the artists will become your friend overtime and know you by name.
