Great Tattoo Experience LGBTQ-friendly Skillful Artists Laid-back Atmosphere

Had my first ever tattoo done with Will as a walk in. Couldn't be happier with the work. Clean lines. Didn't hurt. checked in with me constantly. I got the tattoo at the same time as an LGBTQ friend, and they couldn't have been cooler. No broiness or stupid masculinity to be found. Whether you're a first timer or someone with loads of ink, this place is great. Laid back and skillful. Just be understanding that they take a lot of walk-ins, and that they may not be on schedule, and basically, be cool, as they are being cool. Whether you're a new customer or old. I'll definitely be going back.

Friendly Staff Good Service Reasonable Wait Time Professional Great Location

Awesome, awesome place. Very friendly staff - if you're doing a walk-in, make sure you leave ample time in your schedule, and try to get there right at 12! I came in on a weekend with my roommate around 12:30 to put our names in and got called in to come back around 2 pm. We got our tattoos drawn up and started at 3. Overall the wait wasn't too bad, we got to walk around Grand Avenue and shop at all the other cute stores in the area :) Cameron did our tattoos and he was super chill, very friendly and professional. Both of our tattoos were done in less than an hour. Will def be coming back!

Excellent Artists Friendly Vibes Busy Shop Fair Pricing Pleasant Experience

I have been worked on by both Ransom and Cam here, two excellent artists who excel in their own styles. I have been to a dozen different shops give or take, and this is the first shop that I have bothered to write a review on. Super warm and friendly vibes for anyone that walks through the door, artists are easy to work with but will still offer their advice on the piece. This shop is super busy, I have never seen a shop with the waiting area completely full which says enough about how much people enjoy this place. If they are running behind on your appointment time you should realize that this happens at pretty much any tattoo shop ever. Pricing is fair for the quality and experience, but it is on the more expensive side (which when getting a tattoo, the last thing you should be looking to do is get a deal on price). Overall super pleasant experience and I will be back.

Great Customer Service Fair Price Talented Artist

Got my first tattoo yesterday from Evan. It was a tattoo on my ring finger as I recently got engaged and I must say I love it. The customer service was amazing, and the price was more than fair. I look forward to getting more tattoos done at this shop.

P.S. if you want a walk in I’d advise you arrive around 11 because the list fills up quick (probably due to the amazing quality of the talented artist)

Clean Shop Great Music High Quality Work Friendly Staff Comfortable Environment Good Conversation

I had a wonderful experience at Grand Avenue Tattoo! The shop was clean. The music selection was perfect. Ransom did a beautiful job on my plant tattoo. He is the Plant Zaddy. The prices are totally fair for the high quality of work. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and kind. Honestly, I was just very comfortable and we had great conversation which helped pass the time. I will absolutely be back.

Friendly Staff Good Customer Service Expensive

As a former tattooer myself, I have to say that this is the friendliest shop I've been at. A little too expensive for what I requested but it's offset by the genuine camaraderie that the team has for one another and the care for their clientele.

Poor Service Bad Quality Long Wait Time

There are better places in the cities to go for a tattoo. I went in to schedule an appointment, and the front desk staff was nice enough. When I arrived for my appointment time, I waited over an hour because for some reason the artist didn’t think I was there even though the shop had told him I was. The artwork wasn’t ready, even though I had sent the artist a DM explaining what I wanted. (3 stars with varying shading on my collarbone). I got the 3 stars, but the shading was poorly done and sloppy - it looks like I have discolored skin where the shading is. I’m going to another shop to get these filled in, and won’t be going back anytime soon.
