Art Attack Tattoo LLC

Artist did not do what I asked for! This is my second tattoo. Being an older guy I like simple tattoos. I just wanted a tribal hummingbird with the word Pura Vida underneath. Drew took that concept, and made it so much better, using his amazing artistic talents to take that simple idea and really give it life. my girlfriend now wants the same tattoo. These folks are artists for a reason. I am immensely pleased with the way that he took that tattoo and really made it art.

Have you ever wondered what makes someone get a tattoo? What about the pain and the lifelong commitment? I did. But then I wanted to memorialize my dog and I felt a tattoo would be a good way to do it. I scoured the internet for a quality shop. I asked people with tattoos for shop recommendations. I ended up finding Art Attack on my own. I liked the clever name, the look of the shop was clean, modern and not scary and they had mostly good reviews. The complaint reviews were handled well. I emailed them with a jillion questions. They suggested I come in, talk with them, look around and if I was still interested I could make an appointment. My husband, the most supportive man I’ve ever known, went with me. We went on Thursday, April Fool’s Day. No, that wasn’t lost on me but I chose to view it as ironic and funny. The shop was clean and decorated nicely. I especially liked the NO CHILDREN sign because who wants a screaming child startling your tattoo artist?! Kaylie came out and I explained what I was looking for and showed her my drawing. She was very sweet and told me she’d be happy to help and gave me the price of $80.00. She had an opening and I took it. I had no clue as to the process. She took my idea and made a computer drawing for me to review. I tweaked it a little, she revised it and I loved it, so she made a stencil. She took me back to her studio which was bright, airy and neatly organized. The tattoo needle head was hermetically sealed and she opened it in front of me. She explained what she would be doing then cleaned and shaved my arm then cleaned it again. She applied the stencil where I thought I wanted it. She told me to get up and look in the full length mirror to make sure. I decided to move it to the underside, center of my forearm. I asked her to start with the dot and the E (Dottie) just in case I couldn’t take it. Honestly, I’ve had wasp stings that hurt worse so I told her to keep going and I’m so glad I did! She applied Saniderm tape and explained how to take care of it. I purchased their $10 care pack that included a small bottle of liquid soap (smelled like Dial), 6 packets of Aquaphor and a tiny bottle of Lubriderm lotion. I chose to use my own Provon soap that I ordered from Amazon. My tattoo never went thru a messy stage and there was no scabbing or itchiness. My only suggestion for Art Attack is for them to update their website to show their new aftercare guidelines and they do not sell After Inked products so I’m not sure why they are listed.

I highly recommend Kaylie!

Every time I call to try to come or set up an appointment with the Piercer (Lee) the people on the frontline phone say she last left due to a family emergency. Now they have said this 2 times I’m beginning to think they aren’t telling the truth because it will be early morning and the shop will have just opened. They say most of the time appointment only but walk ins accepted. But this is the only place that will start me out with titanium jewelry for sensitive skin In Winston so I have no choice. I will try to make an appointment or call back up here to see but if they say that lee is unavailable again I will just have to take my business elsewhere this is ridiculous that every time I call up here they say the same thing. At this point it’s starting to sound a little suspicious like she doesn’t want to take walk ins. Not saying she isn’t telling the truth but it’s the same excuse when I call.She’s a great piercer . I’m willing to still deal with them and see if I can atleast get service. Thank you.

This was by far our best tattoo and experience. The venue was clean, and comfortable. My wife got a large thigh piece today, and we think it is super well done. What follows is her experience.

Drew Collins has a very light touch with the tattoo gun, it barely hurt at all. Can't say it didn't hurt, if you've had a tattoo before you will know that there is a measure of pain involved, but this was by far the lightest touch of a tattoo that I have had. The lines are super clean and crisp, and I can't wait to go back for fill in shading in a month.

The prices are exceptionally reasonable and the customer service is excellent! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is interested in getting beautiful art put on their body!

Kaylie did an awesome job on a tribute to my beloved Isabella. I was loved by Miss Izzy for two months shy of twelve years. Her little heart impacted my life tremendously. Miss. Kaylie was professional with exacting attention to detail. The facility was clean and as you can see by the TAT ,I could not be happier. I would recommend Kaylie highly for your tattoo. Thank you Kaylie for expressing my love for Izzy through your artwork.

I went to Art Attack to get a cover up down. This tattoo was very important and I wanted it to turn out nice. I knew it was going to be hard to cover but Kalaigh said she could do it. Upon leaving the shop my arm hurt quite a bit and after an hour my arm had a pretty nice size bruise and I noticed the color “bleeding”. Hoping it wasn’t a blowout and I knew she bruised the hell out of my arm I waited to make sure it wasn’t just my arm healing. I’ve waited a few months and work/life happens “. The bruising is now better unfortunately my tattoo doesn’t look good now. I’ve reached out to Kayleigh with no reply. My understanding was she’s pretty new to tattooing which is fine everyone needs to learn. Hopefully she takes this as a learning experience I paid over $200 for a tattoo that means so much and I’m very unhappy with it.

Got my first ever tattoo here, all the staff members were very kind and my artist Kaylie did a wonderful job with the tattoo and was very responsive to my questions and the design/placement of the tattoo. Another big plus is the place was very clean and professional looking. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be coming back if I did decide to get another.

Shop is full of great and awesome artists. Two of my three tattoos have been done here. And Lee has done my ear and lip piercings.

Today, I had an amazing inking experience at Art Attack Tattoo. What made this a wonderful experience for me was a combination of three things. First, all of the staff that I encountered were friendly, courteous, and willing to answer all of my questions. Second, Drew Collins (the artist that did my inking) took the time to really understand what I wanted, where I wanted it placed, and was willing to make modifications. I never felt rushed or hurried. He was patient and thorough. What I really dig about Drew is that he is a very "real" and "genuine" artist. Plus--he has a great sense of humor! He inks with a steady hand, and is intimately invested in the finished project! Third, and lastly, the entire project was what I call "wallet-friendly." The price for the two inkings was very reasonable.

As home and work for me is in California, and I have inking done there, Drew is by far the most engaging, sincere, and talented artist I have met to date. For those of you, such as I, who have had a disappointing tattoo experience where someone inks your body, says little to nothing, and takes your money, I strongly suggest that you visit Art Attack for a reparative experience:) Drew and the staff there rock! I am looking forward to future inking at only Art Attack Tattoo!

Went for new piercings and Lee was fantastic! Very friendly and super knowledgeable. I'll definitely be going back for more 😁
