I got my first tattoo here, and I have been back for more. Hands down, the best tattoo shop ever! I have been tattooed by two other artists, and their work is good. However, Ash did 3 of mine and they are my favorites, as well as the best work I have. I do have to say to the folks who posted negative experiences, well... you made it negative yourself. They will not put a copycat tat on their customers, they will not lay down something that won't look anything less than perfect. These guys are amazing and the shop is super clean.

Got a tattoo from Max, a cover from an old tattoo. He did an amazing job, and now I have a beautiful geisha on my back. Both Max and Ash are great guys, and amazing artists. The only reason I do not have more tatoos from them is that I moved out of the state.
I definitely recommend them.

2 guys with remarkable creativity and artistic talent. Whether you get Max or Ash, they both honor tattooing by maintaining a high standard of work ethics so anyone should feel safe and relaxed in their hands. And not only is their shop a nice clean environment but there’s a bit of tattoo history or something interesting to look at every where your eyes travel.

Max and Ash are both great artists. My husband and I both have been tattooed by Max several times. The best service, top quality drawings, and he has always brought our ideas to life in the most professional and beautiful ways. The best you will find in the area if not the state!

Max did my first tattoo and did an amazing job! Almost 6 years later and it still looks phenomenal. As soon as we move back, we will be paying a few more visits for more tattoos! Clean, professional, and absolute superb work!

I sent a text message asking for an appointment, their web page says they answered messages in a couple of days. Here we are on week two, no reply.
SO, in speaking with the folks at Nakatosh Tatoo Co, after reading their reply, they never got my text so, you can't reply to a text that you don't get. Electronics, can't live with them, can't live without them. I thank them for their grace and I apologize for squawking before I knew the whole story.
I'm back in NC now so, will definitely look to these folks the next time I plan to be home and want ink. The shop is immaculate, I peeked in the glass one morning, and the work is beautiful. Check out their FB page. I look forward to giving 5 stars when I have first hand experience!!!
Again, my apologies!

I have had 3 tattoos done at this shop all with Ash. One is still in progress and looks absolutely dope. These chumps posting one star reviews have no appreciation for the point of "creative original tattoos". Put your damn phones away and enjoy the experience at a tattoo shop that is worth every damn penny.

Ash did my first tattoo during his Baton Rouge days. When I was ready for my next one, I learned he had gone to Nakatosh.... 3 hours away. I make the drive every time I get ink. He's done all 5 of my tattoos. Max is great, too. He teamed up with Ash and did mine and my Gemini sisters' matching tattoos at the same time. Love them and the shop is awesome!

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions kind of like how 100% of the negative comments are from hack jobs, rednecks, and hipsters. To start off this place charges a $100 an hour. If you don't like it, go to a shitty tattoo shop located around the great tattoo shop. This shop is by far the cleanest/best place around. They don't take bullshit for payment and they know how to get the job done. I mean come on now, I've spent more than 5 grand here. That should at LEAST tell you something.

I have 2, one on each calf muscle. Both are good size and color, one is from Max back in 2010, the other is from Ash in 2015. They both look perfect to this day. I have a half sleeve from 2003, (and a different artist) that looks terrible in comparison and faded pretty quick. As far as the shop goes, I've been to a lot of shops all over the place and Nakatosh is definitely a far more interesting place to walk into than your average shop. Most places have like a neon sign and some flash on the walls, these guys put a lot of work into the place. If they care enough to do that, it should be obvious they care enough to do a good job on your tattoo.
