Amazing Work Worth the Price Quality Tattoos

The artist's do amazing work at this place. It's not cheap, but it's worth every dollar. What's the saying? "Good tattoos are never cheap, and cheap tattoos are never good." Memento is 100 % sticking by that motto. Carey did two of mine and almost two years later they look just as good as the day I got them.

Great Service Talented Artists Clean Facilities Friendly Staff

Memento Tattoo is simply the best. I was looking for a smaller, but special tattoo last minute before moving at the end of the week. I found Ant, a wonderful artist at the shop, and DM’d him through Instagram for inquiry. He got back to me super fast and we had a booking planned the next day! Once I got there, my nerves set in… This was my first tat and I decided to get it done on my ribs of all places (known to be a particularly β€œtender spot”) but Ant assured me the entire time and made sure I was comfortable and happy the entire process. So kind and understanding! From making some last minute adjustments to my celestial piece… to the very end, showing me exactly what to do to properly care for my tat afterwards… Ant was the best! Not to mention, the entire staff was friendly, funny, and very welcoming to a newbie like me. The atmosphere/decor was engaging and eye catching… And, the facilities were so clean. They know what they are doing. ✨ So many wonderful, talented artists to look into, all very versatile in their craft. Please go check them out!

Great Artist Precise Work

My artist Cari, he was great. He took his time re-drawling or enlarging one side of the tattoo so it fit my hand with the already existing tattoo I had. Finally after the 3rd time messing with the size it fit perfectly. He was very quick and precise. The finished tattoo was exactly what I wanted. Thanks again Cari, me and my wife will be return customers. Fight4Family

amazing work reasonable price clean environment

Silvia is amazing! Her work was beautiful and she kept me calm the whole time. The tattoo I got has pretty small cursive writing but she totally pulled it off. In terms of price, I probably could have gone somewhere else and paid $100 more for less quality than Momento provided. Also the place is also super clean. Book with Silvia! Her work was amazing and she kept me calm the whole time. Also the place is super clean, constantly changing gloves for each little thing and sanitizing everything and everything. Again, get Silvia, she is so comforting and an amazing artist!

Poor Communication Unprofessional Behavior

Stopped in for a consult, talked with the artist he asked me to email him a couple things. Had to email him two to three times for every response I got. Paid the deposit, artist stopped replying. Showed up on my appointment date the artist was surprised that I was there. Had not responded to my emails asking to see his design, didn't like the design and left. Poor experience.

Quality Work Signature Style Clean Shop Fair Pricing Recommendation

I just received my third tattoo from Cary at Memento, and I am continually impressed by his quality of work, designs, and willingness to work with someone's ideas while bringing very cool and signature touches and ideas to each piece. He has a very recognizable signature style and multiple times at bars I have asked people if Cary did a tattoo of theirs, and each time it was one of his.

The shop is extremely clean and decorated all over with pieces from the artists who work their. It has always been very welcoming to me and it seems very laid back and fun, with people cracking jokes and in good spirits. The pricing seems very fair for the size and quality of pieces I have received. I would recommend this shop to anyone i know, and will continue to go there to have work done.

Excellent Customer Service High Quality Tattoo Sterile Environment Responsive Communication

I had a tattoo done by Caleb Ledley. When we made the appointment, he gave me his email to send images of what I wanted. He was so quick to respond and even sent me a picture of his drawing of the tattoo before the appointment to make sure I liked it. On the day of the appointment, everything was extremely, I mean almost surgically, sterile and clean. Caleb changed his gloves every time he did something different, no matter what it was. He gave me several breaks from the tattoo, making me feel very comfortable, and the end result was totally worth all the time and, yes, pain. I am extremely happy with my tattoo and my experience and plan to go back for my next tattoo. I highly recommend this place and recommend Caleb as your tattoo artist. His customer service and tattoo quality was excellent overall.

Clean Shop Friendly Staff Patient Artist Great Results

A friend of mine recommended Cary at Memento Tattoo after I mentioned I was looking to get some new work done. Let me say I was blown away by my experience there. The shop is clean and the staff was friendly and super helpful from the first time I came in to discuss what I was looking for to the time I walked out with the completed work. Cary was super patient at the appointment since I didn't really have the placement worked out and he did multiple different options until we landed on one I liked. Let me just say I am blown away by the completed tattoos. They are way better than I even envisioned. My wife took one look and commented "damn that guy is good". I felt so good about the work, I made a follow up appointment on the spot to have a tattoo I had done twenty years ago redone. Well done Memento!!

recommend great artist attention to detail caring

I recommend this shop to anyone that asks me for a place to go. Iggy has been my tattoo artist for almost 10 years (before he was ever an artist at Memento). The tattoo on my upper arm still looks so fresh and it has been over 9 years. I get compliments on my tattoos whenever they are vvisible, even from people who start off by saying that they do not like tattoos. His line work is phenomenal and his attention to detail is amazing. He also cares about his clients and he really takes pride in his work.
If I could give this place more stars, I would.

Tattoo Artistic Friendly Staff

I highly recommend Memento Tattoo & Gallery. I have been there multiple times while getting work done on a shoulder to hip back/side piece. Every time I am there I am warmly greeted, and it is incredibly clean and bright. I have been to other tattoo shops and immediately when I walk in I feel intimidated and as if I'm being judged right off the bat and that I am 'just another appointment'. Memento is nothing like that, and that was a really nice feeling. These artists take pride in their work, make you feel welcome, and make sure you leave happy.

I have been working with Iggy Sweeney, a very talented artist at the shop. I sent him photos via email and the first time I met him in person he had taken my photo examples and created a beautiful drawing. He made sure I was completely satisfied with the placement of the stencil, making sure I felt comfortable enough to voice an opinion if there was anything I didn't like (about the drawing itself, or seeing it on my body). Every appointment with Iggy thereafter was great. While working on my tattoo, he was completely focused on it. He doesn't miss any tiny detail and told me right off the bat that he will keep working on it until both of us are happy with it and that he refuses to rush it. Hearing that made me feel like he understood how important this tattoo is to me and he wanted it to be perfect. I left every appointment watching my tattoo come to life. Iggy truly has a way of making any tattoo into a work of art that you will keep finding new things to love about. I am in awe of what he is able to do and so thankful that he took so much time and care in working on it. I am so in love with my piece and show it off any chance I get. I can say with no hesitation that if you are looking for an artist that will really listen to what you want, and create something that truly beautiful and meaningful, Iggy is your answer.
