Elite Ink Tattoo Studios

I worked with Ray. He's a cool dude and a great artist. The same week I had the money, I was booked for my knuckles. I got everything I wanted and more, his design was flawless. Sya was a blast getting to know as well, hope you find out who Banksy really is! Ray took the time to measure and fit every letter and put together an ink bottle and quill to fit the design. I was fairly charged for his art and time. The room was spotless. He kept conversation when there was to be had and was very open and friendly. He did my knuckles in about two and a half hours, including draw time. I called several shops in the area, Ray got my business because he consulted with me, got the designs aim right away and knew what I wanted without me saying much. Ill be coming back for more time with Ray when I have the money to do what I have planned. Keep up the great work guys, you've got my business for as long as you're in business. Maybe the next ones I can have him put his sketchwork to work, as there were several designs on his wall I really appreciated.

Ray did an awesome job love the line work great tattoo
Highly recommend

Let me start off by saying, do not go to this shop for a tattoo! Maybe their main shop is better, or maybe they are good at piercings, I dont know.
I was very excited to get my first tattoo, talking to many people on where to go, and in general gathering advice. Some consistent advice I got was, not to worry about price and look for a place that is clean. After going to 4 tattoo shops in the area, and talking to the people there about time and cost to do the tattoo I wanted, I settled on Elite because they were clean and told me that the tattoo would take a very long time to do (almost double in cost everyone else too) and that they had just the artist who loved doing dot work tattoos. I mistook that for meaning that their artist would be very precise and more experienced than anyone else, resulting in a better product. I was sorely mistaken. The process took less than half the time he quoted and charged me for, and the tattoo turned out to be a black blob of what I wanted, rather than the piece of art I was expecting. I definitely wont be going back, or recommending them to friends. Below is what I showed the artist, and then what I got. I wasnt expecting an exact copy by any means, but there was no attempt at detail at all, and dont even get me started about the sad excuse for stars above the bear (the 7 dots).
I know that this post may have a negative impact on their business, and for that I am sorry, but I feel that I have to put this information out there and let the costumers decide to listen to my advice or not.

Ray is the best, he designed all my tattoos and is super patient and very talented. I refuse to see anyone else. It’s honestly like seeing a monthly therapist. 😂😂😂

It was my first time going to elite ink and from the moment I walked, the receptionist, her name was taylor, I believe, was very friendly and a pleasure to talk to. Ray, who did my tattoo, was one of the nicest guys ever. He was professional and easy going. He did a wonderful job and can’t wait to go back. If I could give them a hundred stars….I would.

Best place for piercings, reputable, clean and friendly. I got my last tattoo here and will be going back for any subsequent ones.

Called on a Saturday morning and John got me that evening for a quick piece I wanted. In and out in an hour, great work, no touch up needed and he's reasonable as long as you follow the house rules.

Yesterday, Ray did memorial tattoos for me and my sister in honor of our mother who passed away. The tattoos came out absolutely perfect and we are very happy we chose to go to Ray. I 100% recommend going to see Ray if you want a great tattoo experience and stunning line work!

Absolutely love most of the workers. Ashely had great line work and and all around amazing person. John is the only person I will let pierce anything on my body they are the best people I’ve ran into at a tattoo shop. I only don’t like one person there cause she has an attitude every time I’m there and she’s there. But I love that tattoo shop very reasonable prices.10000/10 would recommend going there and get Ashley for tattoos orhan and John for tattoos❤️❤️❤️

I had my first tattoo done by Ray at the Mound location last Friday. Everyone in the shop was very friendly, welcoming, and calming (I was a little nervous). I walked in showed them what I wanted and they were able to quote me a very reasonable price. It was significantly lower than I was anticipating on spending.

The shop is very clean and recently remodeled displaying local art. All the tools were clean or brand new in sealed packages. Ray used gloves and everything about the shop made me feel safe.

I came in with a very specific design in mind, therefore Ray was unable to use his artistic skills. However, I did see some of his hand sketches, which were very impressive, and he has an art school background. He was friendly and carried on conversation that kept my mind off the uncomfortableness of the physical tattooing process.

Overall, I am very pleased with my tattoo. It is exactly what I wanted and I had a great experience with the guys in the shop.
