Outstanding Job Highly Recommend

Noah was great. He did an outstanding job. I gave the receptionist a vague idea of what I was looking for and size and he had it absolutely perfect for me when I showed up to my appointment. I highly recommend Noah and Forbidden for your next tattoo.

Friendly Staff Professional Highly Recommend

Highly recommend Forbidden Tattoos. I called in this morning and asked if they had availability for 6 people to get a tattoo. The receptionist was extremely friendly and professional. We got here and we were greeted immediately. The entire shop worked to get us all our tattoos. I will definitely be back to get more work done. Thank you all so much for getting myself and my family our tattoos. We will always remember the amazing experience we had here.

Professional Clean Friendly Staff Recommend

Went in to get two important tattoos with my wife and the experience was pure bliss! Extremely professional, clean and the whole staff is warm and welcoming. We had our three year old with us and the staff were so friendly to her it made the whole process that much better! I was told by many people to go here for our tattoos and I left so happy! In the five hours we were there we saw three other people leave happy with their results. I would highly recommend this establishment to everyone I know and we will be going back for huge piece on my back and possibly more!

Outstanding Staff Expert Skills Professionalism Excellent Education Gentle Technique Flawless Detailed Oriented Exceptional Attention to Hygiene Phenomenal Tattoo Artist Great Follow Up Service World Class Facility Friendly Staff

The staff at Forbidden is outstanding!!!! The Misses and I have taking all of our piercing and tattoo business here because of the professionalism and expert skills. Jessye has performed many piercings on us since January and always makes us feel comfortable and offers honest opinions and excellent education on aftercare. Her technique is gentle, flawless, and detailed orientated with exceptional attention to placement and hygiene. We highly recommend her for your piercing needs. She is also very readily available to answer questions after the piercing and offers great follow up service. I’d give her ten ⭐️ if that were an option.

Melissa is a phenomenal tattoo artist. She has performed 3 significant pieces for us and we have been more than impressed. She took our concept and brought it to life with much more detail and style than we imagined. We will be going back for much more work. Sergio is also an excellent tattoo artist and performed one of our pieces very much to our satisfaction. His technique brings images to life on the skin. His color work is second to none.

Josh will great you when you walk into this world class facility and immediately make you feel right at home. He is knowledgeable about all of their services and will guide you to the right artist to accomplish your vision. All of the other staff at this facility are also very friendly to us when we are waiting or taking breaks from tattooing.

Wonderful Experience Friendly Staff Great Environment Highly Recommended

Absolutely wonderful experience. Ryan was my tattoo artist and I met with him three times, once for a consultation and two actual sessions. I was very impressed all three times I was there; the staff were all very friendly, great environment, and my tattoo came out better than I had originally envisioned it. I came in with a basic idea for a custom tattoo and Ryan drew the whole thing out, very impressed from start to finish. I highly recommend that anybody in the market for some new ink makes Elite their first stop, I'm definitely going back.

unprofessional behavior poor customer service bad checkout experience toxic employee

I will start out by saying Will was amazing! He was very professional, patient, and did a great job. He gets 5 stars all around! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

However, the entire process was a giant nightmare. I called to see about making an appointment to get β€œa dime size” tattoo done. The lady on the phone said they required a consultation for an appointment and to just stop in whenever. So, my friend and I did just that. Turns out, we really didn’t need the consultation because of the simplicity and size (like I stated on the phone multiple times). So they said they could get us right in that night. Well we had plans and wanted to make an appointment for later in the week. We were gifted 2 $50 gift cards from a competition that was won so we wanted to use them. They said we had to put a $40 deposit down to hold the appointment spot and that we would be refunded the deposit so we could use our gift cards. Weird but okay, sure.

Night of tattoo, Will was amazing! Everything was great until the checkout process. The new girl at the desk was very awesome, and super kind. She was new so she needed some help. An older woman (much older) was called up to help. She seemed extremely put off by this β€œinconvenience” of having to issue refunds to use our gift cards. She then turned her nose up about the cards, saying they were super old and had the most disgusting look on her face with an extremely disrespectful tone. My friend and I are both managers of salons, like we get it. But I have never seen such disrespectful behavior. She made us feel so uncomfortable! On top of it all, this was my FIRST TATTOO EXPERIENCE! Totally ruined it. So after an annoying amount of time and 3 staff members later, we were done. As I turned my car on, I saw her race to the window and stare at us through the glass. Like are you serious? Unbelievable! I held my tongue through the entire process because I was raised to be respectful, and treat everyone with that same respect. She was awful! As much as I wanted to go back in, I don’t think I ever will.

It’s really a shame that such a toxic person works in such a cool place with great talent.

Professional Staff Clean Shop Talented Artist Great Customer Service Friendly Atmosphere Accommodating Free Snacks Comfy Couches Tasty Jams Customer for Life

Elite Tattoo has earned a customer for life. This was my first tattoo and I could not be happier. Josh and the staff were beyond professional from the instant I walked in. The atmosphere was friendly and accommodating. All of my questions were answered with a smile and years of expertise. The shop is extremely clean. Free snacks, comfy couches, and tasty jams. Sergio was the artist that gave me this beautiful piece. He is amazingly talented. Did I mention they stayed stayed until 11 pm to finish my tattoo? I am stoked to be a part of the Elite Tattoo family.

Great Service Skilled Artists Reasonable Prices

Just got my tattoo done and HOLY BALLS this place is awesome! Melissa did my tattoo and she did an amazing job. Everyone is so cool and fun; they really made me feel comfortable there. My tattoo turned out great and the price was good as well. We liked them so much, we brought them candy thongs and swords for gifts ;)
They loved it like only amazing people would. Definitely coming back!

Update: Just tried their Hustle Butter and I'm pretty certain it's made out of unicorn tears. This stuff is heavenly.
