Needlework Tattoo Co.

I have been going to Chris for tattoos for a couple years. Always a relaxed atmosphere, great to talk to and beautiful, clean work. Couldn't recommend more.

I love going to Needlework Tattoo. I will no longer allow someone else to tattoo my body other than Chris. He does amazing work, he is honest and reliable. Its 's always a good time when we go to him. He truley loves what he does.

Clean, great atmosphere ! Dave is AMAZING! Can’t wait until this is finished

I’ve been pierced by Randee and have also sat with friends getting pierced and she’s so wonderful! She explains everything throughly so you feel absolutely no stress or uncertainty, her studio is so comfortable, and her personality is amazing! Randee is by far my favorite piercer by far and the only person I will recommend to all my friends and family!! I 1000% reccomend going to her eith any piercing you want!

A little background to explain my review: I love tattoos but am afraid of needles and not a fan of pain so I mostly stand on the sidelines appreciating the artwork on others. A few years ago I decided to get a set of clovers on my wrist to represent my kids at a different tattoo shop. They turned out looking more like flowers and while the tattoo looked nice, it really wasn't what I was hoping for.

I really wanted to find someone who was an artist. Not just good with copying clip art lining the walls of a shop, but one with vision, ideas, passion and compassion. Until I had enough confidence, I wasn't about to take another leap and end up disappointed again after all the anxiety I went through to get a tattoo done in the first place.

Chris was referred to me by a dear friend who he completed work on. I scoped out his Facebook, checked out the photos of artwork he's done for other people along with the pieces he's done for my friend. I finally decided to reach out, and hope he could help with my "clovers" issue first and then hopefully down the line, take some of the other ideas I have in my head and create some original additional pieces.

I sent him a photo, explained my original experience and told him what I had hoped to turn it into instead. He quickly responded to me, said he thought it would be an easy fix and invited me out to his shop so he could briefly see it in person.

The shop/studio is unlike anything I've ever seen. Certainly not what would be stereotyped as a tattoo shop. It's modern, clean, and provides an intimate space just for your experience. There isn't an assembly line of clients, it's just you. When I arrived, he was in the middle of doing a tattoo for a gentleman. I showed him my tattoo and said again it would be a real easy revision and would send me a mock up soon. He took a quick break, reviewed his schedule and we booked an appointment. The gentleman getting tattooed showed me some of his other original pieces, all of them having been done by Chris. I left there really excited and more at peace with my anxiety.

A few days before my appointment, Chris sent me an image he came up with as the "cover up" for my flowers. I responded back within seconds saying how much I loved it. It was exactly what I had explained and he just took it to the next level.

The day of the appointment I was very nervous, which Chris could obviously sense. He did some resizing of the drawing to line it up more with what was being covered up, we went through some color options and started. The entire time he was very aware of my anxiety, kept engaging me in conversation, playing music, etc to help keep my mind off it. There was an iPad showing a slideshow of his previous work and I was amazed at how different all the themes and techniques were. He truly creates artwork based on the clients vision as well as his own. He talked me through the whole process and what to expect and also advised that my previous tattoo had a lot of scar tissue underneath it. His knowledge of the industry, the newer technology and overall incredibly personable approach was appreciated. When it was done, we discussed the bandage and healing process, and sent me home with everything I needed, including happiness over the new design and confidence that I would have no future anxiety issues with getting a tattoo again.

I honestly can't praise this artist enough. I would recommend him to anyone and if I moved away from the local area, I'd make the drive to his business because it was that great.

This place does an excellent job of keeping their staff and clients safe during this pandemic! Bre did a great job on my birthday tattoo, too! Highly recommend!

What a great tattoo shop!!! Everyone is super friendly and go above and beyond for their customers!!! Highly recommend and the free tattoo after care kits are a huge bonus and very nice of the shop to offer!!! I would recommend this place 1,000 times over!!!

Very rude and disrespectful to veterans. The owner simply went off on my friend for asking if he needed to wear a mask bc he is disabled. I would NEVER EVER reccomend this place to my worst enemy in how this veteran was treated today!!! They need to learn class and obviously some kindness, compassion and decency. I give this place a big fat ZERO.

Randee is so wonderful and so amazing. She has done all my piercings and I will go to her with anymore I want. She’s so informative and clean. Highly recommend everyone to her.

This place is awesome! Everyone there was super kind and welcoming, and my tattoo is absolutely awesome. 10/10 recommend
