I went in nervous about getting a tattoo but was welcomed very nicely. They drew out a great design (better then what i was thinking) and was extra conforting with me since it was my first tat.
I had Patience tattoo it and she is a wonderful artist.

I love Trader Bob's tattoos! I've gotten 4 tattoos from here, and always have a wonderful experience. Workshops as a woman, they make me feel comfortable and safe. I've never felt intimidated here, or that the artists were pretentious.

Every time I go here, the artists are friendly and they are all amazingly talented! At other tattoo shops I've had bad experiences and I've never had one here! I highly recommend

Honestly had a great experience the first time. But we were made to feel like s*** when we came in the second time to get our finger tattoos touched up for engagement/wedding photos. Even though we definitely gave an ample tip the first time and as well as planned on giving an accommodating tip the second time because we understand time is money and no service is free, we still felt very unwelcome (vibe, body language, and verbatim). Our daughter was sitting there for her FIRST experience as the tattoo artist literally scolded us the entire time. She stated after we left "I will never get a tattoo." We aren't even from the same state, but duly planned on getting more tattoos once we moved there soon. I've never been talked down to by any artist I've ever been too. I had really high hope's for this place but I sincerely dont think I'll be back just out of how embarrassing the whole situation was. Oh and we still tipped because it was the right thing to do.

This is like the heaven of tattoo shops. Open 7days a week, very very cool staff, reasonable prices, knowledgeable and experienced artists, walk ins on point. BIG shout out to Joey Featherfingers for my masterpiece!!

Super clean and historical shop. Legit some off the nicest people I've ever met. Got tattooed by Joe Cumbee. Couldn't have had a better experience. Would recommend to anyone who wants good quality work.

Oldest and finest tattoo shop. I would let every artist that works there tattoo me, not many places that anyone can say that about, they are all very professionl and their work is top notch. They can design anything, and deliver awesome results everytime!
