Eternal Tattoos Inc

I am so so sooo happy with the tattoo I got from Tom Beste @ Eternal Tattoos. He is an incredible artist and just so much fun to be around while also very professional. It was a great experience getting tattooed there and will absolutely go back.

My review was from years ago. I've since found tattoo artists that I'm loyal to, but would still consider giving Eternal another shot since learning thar Dave no longer works at this location.

I got two tattoos done by Dave at Eternal in December and was not impressed. He was unprofessional and there's no way I'd go back. Dave never introduced himself or bothered to ask me my name. I also like to be in the room when the tattoo artist is setting up the guns so that I know they've been sterilized and all that. He made me wait out in the waiting room - I still have no idea why. On top of all that, BOTH TATTOOS ARE SLOPPY.
I went into Eternal because I'd heard good things about it. I was trying to get two tattoos: one was a single word in my own handwriting and the other was two words in a font that I wasn't sure about yet. When I went in there I planned on going through each artist's book to see whose style I thought would work best.. I wasn't set on getting it done that day, I just wanted to check out my options first. When I walked in they assigned me a tattoo artist who wasn't busy at the time (Dave). I didn't want to be rude and I thought that since he worked there he couldn't be too bad, so I gave it a shot.
Instead of doing the tattoo in my own handwriting, which he could've easily traced, he insisted on rewriting it himself. When I told him the first time that it wasn't close to what I'd drawn, he seemed irritated. The same thing happened with the second tattoo and he even said "I don't' think we're seeing eye to eye on this." I thought about walking out and now wish I had. We finally worked out the font on the second tattoo, and my first tattoo was close to what I'd drawn, so I said it was fine and we started.
For the second tattoo, I only wanted the outline of the letters. He finished that and then said it looked incomplete and that he thought it would look better with shading. I was hesitant but agreed when he said he would add a little bit to the top and bottom of each letter. The tattoo was on my shoulder so I couldn't see exactly what he was doing, but when I looked down he'd filled in almost the entire thing and left a skin tone strip through the middle - not at all what I'd wanted. It looks like a biker tattoo which is not at all what I wanted. He didn't bother to ask me how I felt about it.
I feel like both of my tattoos he designed how he would want them to look on him, which is stupid because he isn't going to have them on him for the rest of his life. He seemed insulted when I wanted my tattoo in my own handwriting. I even offered to write it on the stencil paper and he was like "No I can do it." It was totally unprofessional and he seemed like a stubborn little boy. I get that part of it was my fault, but you'd think that after however many years Dave would be more professional. I was not impressed and absolutely won't be coming back.

Tom Beste is an incredible artist. I definitely know who I will get all future tattoos from. He's so creative and will bring your idea to life.

Mike does great work and my tattoo came out exactly how I wanted it to. The place is very nice inside also and everyone is very friendly.

Love this parlor. Great atmosphere and the employees are very knowledgeable and have a diverse skill set. I worked with Tom Beste and had an amazing experience. Definitely a great place to go for ink

Honestly, dont waste your time or money anywhere else. Go to Eternal and see Tom Beste and I guarantee you will have one of the greatest looking tattoos ever afterwards. Not only is the man an amazing artist, he is a genius and he also helped me come up with an even better design than what I had originally came in with.

Place is great. Tom does awesome work. Going back in two weeks for another tat! Clean n people working there are great.

Fabulous! Tom is great and went out of his way to accommodate my schedule. My new tattoo is beautiful!

Tom always does an amazing job. I recently moved out of state, but still only get my tattoos here when I'm visiting home.

Steve Pelkey is one of the greatest tattoo artist I've seen or worked with. Very clean facility. Great artists.
