Exile Tattoo

After researching for some time which tattoo artist I wanted to do my tattoo I found Jessie at Exile. Her work absolutely looks amazing. I filled out the "contact form" and submitted it as per her instructions on her web page. I was fully prepared to wait the 6 months for her to do my tattoo. After a week I had not seen a return email or phone call. I sent another email directly to her email by passing the contact form. After another week still no return contact. I called Exile where a very nice girl took down my info and a brief description of the tattoo I wanted and she said that she would pass along the note. After another week (3 weeks now in total) I still didn't hear from Jessie or anyone for the matter. I didn't want to give up so I walked in and the same girl (I wish I could remember her name) that answered my phone call was at the front and remembered me calling. Again took down my info and a brief description of the tattoo and I waited another week. Here I am writing a negative review after four weeks of no contact not even an email saying I cant or won't do the tattoo. At least that would have been something. I am very disappointed.

Review is for Nathan Blankensh - he did a tattoo for me (last one 20 years ago) and my wife (newbie!). He was chill and laid back, able to customize what we wanted a few times in a short time frame. He came up w something custom from what we initially wanted that my wife loved. He walked her through it in a great way - not sure if we'll be back but if she wants more ink we will def head back to Nathan. Thank you sir!

The entire staff at Exile is amazing. Danny is not only a great artist but he is also a genuinely nice guy. Steve does awesome tattoos and is a lot of fun to talk to. Jesse is an absolutely amazing artist and a very nice person to talk to. I heve never once seen her without a smile on her face. Bob rocks and is great at helping you with your appointments. This is the best tattoo shop I have ever seen in the US and abroad (I've been to 7 different countries outside of the US and heve never seen a shop this nice). If you want it classy, you want it from Exile.

Pam and I got our 1st & 2nd tattoos with Bob Rodriguez. Pam is going back to get her 3rd tomorrow. This place is great and the people are amazing. Always a pleasant experience!

Great place love my tattoo guy Nathan and good clean place to go

Great Experience,Danny was fantastic.
The shop was absolutely spotless, which makes you feel at ease from the start.
Danny made the whole process fun which made the time pass quickly.The tattoo is a masterpiece,everyone who has seen it is totally impressed with the art and detail.
I suppose the best recommendation I can give, is to say that I will do it again !

I got my first tattoo here in April '15. Jeremy Latta did an AMAZING job. He was very patient with me, worked with what I wanted and how I wanted it, gave great after-care advice, and made sure that I loved it before he even started to tattoo. This place gave me a good vibe when I walked in. It was very clean. I am very happy with Exile!

I would recommend this shop to anyone. I went to Exile 2 and had Nathan Blankenship as my artist. Nathan is very talented, super helpful, and has great social skills. He made me extremely confident during the tattoo process, and did anything he could to give me the exact tattoo I wanted. Nathan at Exile 2 gets 5 stars from me.

I got my first tattoo from Whispering Danny about seven years ago and it is just as clean as the one I received a month ago. My experiences at Exile have always been pleasant both in the quality of the work and my interactions with the rest of the staff.
As to Danny himself: This man takes extreme pride and joy in what he does, which is exactly what you want in an artist. It has always been my experience that he not only makes sure the tattoo will look good, but that it is something that you will be happy with. He puts an overwhelming amount of effort and care in to each step of the process, from the design and layout of the piece, to the way he handles you while he is tattooing. I have spent an extended number of hours in his chair, and you cannot ask for a more gracious, easy-going, accomplished, or competent demeanor or artist.
A note to the reader looking to get their first tattoo, or get tattooed by Danny or either of the other phenomenal artists at Exile (Jessie Hopeless or Steven Campbell): Exile Tattoo is a *quality* tattoo shop and as such, you will need to wait a bit before you are able to get your ink. This is something that you want from a caliber shop. These truly are artists, and they are creating a tattoo for you to enjoy and wear for the rest of your life. There is a demand for that quality, but it is TOTALLY worth the wait (you are wearing this forever, after all).

Juan Moya is awesome and the shop is great. On time, clean shop, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff. Other than the pain of the tattoo it was a total pleasure! And my tattoo looks great too!
