Fast Service Professional Clean Talented Artists

Fast, professional, and clean service. Each artist cares about their craft and it shows. John has done quite a few of my tattoos and they are amazing. But you can't go wrong with any of the artists here. If you're looking to get a tattoo, Name Brand is your place.

Great Customer Service Talented Artists Relaxed Atmosphere

I can't recommend this place enough. I just moved to the area and had trouble getting responses from other shops as they were all busy. Kerri at Name Brand Tattoo got right back to me and set me up with Pat based on what I wanted. Pat was able to take a rather abstract idea and turn it into something better than I could have imagined. I also got to chat with multiple artists during my time there and everyone was super cool and inviting. I loved the relaxed atmosphere and will definitely be coming back!

Professional Comfortable Passionate

So glad I found Name Brand tattoo, Kerri set me up with Patrick Schreader! For my first tattoo and it turned out amazing! Patrick takes his time and is professional with his work! He makes you feel welcome and comfortable while he draws and prepares for your tattoo. Since my first tattoo with Patrick I’ve scheduled another visit to touch up my cross. He absolutely nailed it! My cross looks more vibrant and meaningful! I’m very happy with name brand tattoo and Patrick Schreader for his skills and the environment there is great! Everyone is so helpful and really show there passion in the art of tattoos! Thanks soo much !

Tattoo artist unprofessional Poor communication

I had my first tattoo done here last year and had a wonderful experience. The staff is very friendly and helpful and they made me feel incredibly welcomed.

This last set of tattoos discouraged me a bit though. I was getting two tattoos done by Nick Melody (who did my first tattoo, phenomenal work). That day he showed up a little late, spoke to another customer and did not speak to me until fifteen minutes after my appointment time. I made my appointment last minute and did not have the chance to send him my artwork ideas until that morning so I wasn’t too bothered by it. What did bother me was the fact that I had two words of text and three small asterisk like stars for each tattoo and it took nearly 45 minutes for everything to be laid out. In this time, another artist took a walk in customer with a similar tattoo idea to mine and had everything laid out and tattooed onto the girl. I was nervous and upset at this point, so I wanted the tattoos to get done. I didn’t pay attention to the fact that the tattoo on my wrist was not centered correctly, and that the stars on my chest piece were on the wrong side. I know I have myself to blame for not saying anything/ realizing, but it’s just disappointing when it’s done wrong when you thought the artist was listening to what you wanted.

I would go back, because the other artists are awesome and I’ve seen their work and the way they are with their customers. Maybe my artist was having an off day or something, but I can’t help but be a little upset about how things went yesterday.

Best in town Professional Clean Wide variety of artists Attention to detail Legit

This is the best parlor in town. At this point I’ve done 3 pieces with this same artist there and I’m scheduled for my 4th! They are extremely professional, clean and have a wide variety of artists. Every time they make sure it’s exactly what I want before doing it. I’ve had work done other places and left unamused, never once from name brand. PS. super legit!

Bad customer service Unprofessional behavior Overcharging

My experience with Name Brand was below par at best. Firstly, I scheduled a tattoo on my hand 2 weeks prior to the appt. even sent in an example for which i was approved. I arrived after the two weeks and waited about 45 minutes to then be rescheduled another week later because the β€œlines on the example i gave were too close together” clearly something that could’ve been emailed to me instead of wasting my time and gas. Then, after changing the design, my tattooist Pat started the tattoo without quoting me a price first. Pat was consistently passive aggressive with me throughout this whole process and he also had to replace the stencil 3 different times onto my forearm. The total he quoted for me was $150 minus the first $60 charge which should come out to $90 after the tattoo, but after reviewing my bank notice he had charged me $100. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend Name Brand Tattoo.

(edit) I should add that it was not my tattooist who had suggested replacing the stencil a number of times, each time the stencil was placed it was clearly off center. Even now looking at the tattoo it still could've been moved a little to the right on my forearm.

Quality Work Attention to Detail Ultimate Destination

Name Brand is home to some of the best artists known the craft. Their quality of work, attention to detail and overall experience are unparalleled. Having visited a multitude of tattoo shops over the last decade, Name Brand remains the ultimate destination. If you seek a piece you will gladly sport for the rest of your days, look no further.

Clean work Friendly staff Professional artist

Last year I looked for an artist that could work cleanly and precisely in black and white. I had an image of a heart and initials of my son's name that were all drawn by him. The work I was drawn to was mainly from the traditional work I had viewed online from Name Brand Tattoo. I picked a few artists and Nick Melody had an opening that fit my schedule. The shop was cleaning and friendly. Nick was a pro who was easy to talk to and was willing to work through the size and position of the artwork I gave him. I will definitely go back to Name Brand again.

Great atmosphere and everyone seems like they love their jobs. It feels nice to walk into a place for the first time and feel comfortable. I absolutely love my tattoo! I feel like Nick Z really listened to what I wanted. Turned out beautiful! I would definitely recommend this to friends and will come back here!
