The students at the shop are great! They are very talented and really enjoy what they are doing.
Most recently, a student tattooed an awesome spider in my elbow ditch. It was a great experience and I will definitely come back.

Great experience! I worked with a student who touched up an old tattoo. Later we talked about another tattoo to memorialize my Mother. She took my idea and created a beautiful iris. It was so absolutely perfect and it meshed well and fit with my current tattoo, too! Highly recommend the cleanliness and comfort of the shop. My artist was well trained and went through protocol each time. Great shop to work with and I love their specials!

I have known Shelly and Gil from Garden of Ink for the better part of my life, and my own personal experiences with them aside the professionalism and tact with which they run their shop is a force to be reckoned with. I have received every single piece of art on my body from the talented Miss Shelly and I love every one. Besides being a professional and clean atmosphere, Garden of Ink is full of character and charisma. A place where you can sit back, listen to great tunes and have awesome conversation while one of the many talented tattooers transforms your skin into art. I can't believe anybody would have a harsh word to say about the place and people who have had such an amazing impact on my life and others. Keep it up guys, you're making the world more beautiful with your art and creativity, I will always recommend Garden of Ink to every single person I meet, why? Because it always follows them telling me how amazing my tattoos are. :)

I have had only positive experiences coming to this studio. Shelly and Gil are excellent teachers. They provide all their students with up to date techniques and knowledge. I've personally witnessed students improve in a short period of time and am impressed with the outcome. I absolutely love the tattoo machines they use, and believe the students who come out of their school will be excellent tattoo artists who will go far in their careers.

I treasure each and every tattoo Shelly has given me. Each of my tattoos are works of art that were very well thought out and executed. The attention to detail is fantastic. I have recommend several people to come to see Shelly. I am always stopped and asked where I got my work done. This is a place where each and every person wants to make sure you are as comfortable as possible. My oldest tattoo is 10 and the color and lines are just as fresh looking as my 1 year old tattoo. I highly recommend them.

Shelly and Gil are not only professional, clean, and talented; but the experience they offer at Garden of Ink is something truly amazing. As soon as you walk in the door you are surrounded by a feeling of comfort, and they work with you every step of the way through the tattoo process. Each and every tattoo I've received from them has healed cleanly, quickly, and unraised; and every session was an amazing and memorable experience.
Keep up the great work guys, for the sake of future artists and happy customers alike!!!

I have been to the shop with friends for tattoos as well as 2 of my own. Everyone in the shop is respectful and talented. I have always been welcomed with a bright smile and knowledgeable answers. It's well worth the short trip to Cottage Grove to enjoy the tattoo experience in a fantastic environment! I definitely recommend this place as well as Shelly for your tattoo needs!!

I worked under Shelly Dax learning the art of tattoo. Not only was she skilled and knowledgeable, she is an amazing artist who works hard to give her clients the best experience possible. Her style is unique and she has such a diverse range of work. The facility is clean and well managed. I left Garden of Ink with a great portfolio of my own due to the fantastic work and patience of Shelly. I highly recommend Shelly and the Garden of Ink Tattoo Shop and School.
