Dark Arts Tattoo Studio

I called on a whim to see if the had any availability for a walk-in gum ball tattoo, and I lucked out. The person who answered the phone was very polite and pleasant, both times I called, because they asked me to call back in 30mins to better gauge if there would be anyone available. So when I called the 2nd time they were able to squeeze me in within an hour. The artist I ended up with was Jaime. He was polite, his area was clean, and just had a vibe about him that made me feel comfortable. I really appreciated that he wasn’t a chatty person. We spoke a little while he was setting up, but when he was working, I appreciated that he allowed me to just zen out during the process. It was by far the most relaxing tattoo experience I’ve had.

Will not go anywhere else. Marty is the only one who has tattooed me but I would proudly wear any of their work.

My first visit they greeted me enthusiastically and I felt right at home. I had a chance to chat with the artists and see even more of their incredible work that day - made a second appt shortly thereafter! Can't wait for more opportunities - I will definitely be heading to Dark Arts from here on out. Also looking forward to piercings!

I absolutely loved my experience at Dark Arts. Angela was so kind and patient with me throughout the scheduling process and right up until I walked out the door with my new tattoo. It is everything that I imagined it would be and more. Definitely will be back :)

Amazing staff! Super friendly, everything went incredibly smoothly. Jake was an amazing piercer, very professional but at the sametime we had a great conversation! Definitely will be coming here again and again!

The first artist I went to at Dark Arts Tattoo Studio was Michaela! She made me feel so comfortable during the consultation and she listened to everything that I wanted for my tattoo and after I sent her a few reference pictures she combined different things from all of them to create a completely custom design for me! Not only does my hand tattoo look amazing, she was clean and organized as well!
I’ve not only continued seeing Michaela for tattoo work, but also have seen Brittany for a piece and most recently Nix for a piece as well! I highly recommend all 3 artists because they do amazing work! Every artist at Dark Arts is talented and along with the owner Amanda, everyone creates such a positive and comfortable atmosphere!

Jake did my nose piercing. He was very professional and extremely sanitary. He took his time and made sure I was comfortable and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend using him for your next piercing!

I first became aware of Dark Arts through a friend, He'd gotten a few pieces from Nix and recommended him to me. I was still reeling after getting a very bad addition to a chest piece and I was pretty desperate to get it altered or covered up entirely as I hated the way the previous artists work turned out on me. I was a little hesitant as male dominated spaces tend to be less friendly to POC Trans women, but Dark Arts was different. From the moment I walked in-- incredibly nervous and very shy-- I felt relieved to see so many other women there. There was no biting stares, no whispers or veiled laughs at my expense (I'm 6 foot 7 I get a lot of unsavory experiences in public), just professionalism and the occasional peek over at what Nix and I were working on together. My first visit was a consultation so there wasn't much to be said, but when I came in to get my work done, it was truly such a wonderful experience. I've never felt so safe, comfortable, and taken care of in a Tattoo studio. Every time I've gone in I've had a fun conversation with the artists or even the other customers. The atmosphere is so relaxed and everyone just has immaculate vibes. The music is also super top tier, I appreciate them letting me relive my bygone era of emo bangs and really bad eyeliner, but in a fun nostalgic way surrounded by people who won't judge me for poorly singing along.
I have begun sincerely recommending them to all of my friends looking to get work done and I will continue to do so and go to Dark Arts until I leave the area. If I could give them a hundred stars I would. I will totally post pictures when my chest piece is finally completed! We are about halfway done fixing it and I don't think it would do them justice to show an incomplete piece, but let me say, it is already leaps and bounds better than what it used to be.

Special shoutout to Nix, he is the primo numero uno homie.

I was there on December 4th and my artist was Paige and I have to say I absolutely love it there. I will definitely be coming back to get more. The atmosphere, the professionalism, everything about the place was everything I could’ve asked for and more. I wish I could think of more amazing things to say about the store or I would. I’m excited for my mother to come back to get her tattoo later this month. Thank you all. You rock!!!

Had the best experience getting a tattoo by the owner, Amanda. Everyone in the shop was amazingly friendly, the music was great, and my new tattoo is beyond perfect. Will recommend Dark Arts to anyone and everyone!
