Had a great experience at Dark Roots recently. Colby was wonderful to work with and the owners were kind and welcoming. I appreciated the beautiful atmosphere and the fact that the shop didn't overload the senses. Would recommend to anyone, but especially folx that desire a calming tattoo shop and thoughtful, inclusive staff.

I was scheduled to get a tattoo from an artist at Dark Roots. The artist ended up moving shops before my tattoo appointment came up. She let me know days before Dark Roots did. Further, Dark Roots informed me they would only honor my deposit if I booked with another artist for another piece. Otherwise, the money was forfeit and I could not get it back . I find this to be a very questionable practice as they were keeping my deposit on a service they would not be able to render at all, and the only way I wouldn’t lose the money entirely would be to pay them more for another price. I can’t recommend them based on this experience.

I got my first tattoo done by Shane and I am blown away! He was so very patient with me wanting to change the placement like a million times, and he was very detailed and thorough with making sure the piece was exactly how I wanted it. The shop was gorgeous, such a great atmosphere, and clean. Seriously can’t say enough great things about Dark Roots, I am already planning to book my next tattoo with him and I can’t wait!

Every part of my experience, beginning to end, was incredible at Dark Roots. Sabrina was extremely timely with her response to my inquiry. She was patient with me in answering all of my questions. Shane was incredible throughout the tattoo process. He made sure I got what I wanted and was so friendly throughout! I’ll definitely be going back for my next tattoo!

This was my first tattoo, Shane and his wife were so nice and talked to me and my mom the entire time, which made me comfortable and made me feel like more than just a client. The shop was so clean and beautiful. I love that they're a vegan tattoo shop and also love what they support. My overall experience was just amazing and I will definitely be going back to them for my other tattoos.

Shane did a memorial piece for my dad. I’m not artistic but he took my vision and turned it into one of the most beautiful things ever. Gorgeous shop. Great location. It was my longest, most intensive tattoo (6 hours) and Shane made me feel so comfortable the entire time!
