Dark Star Tattoo

Love coming her! Erik is my artist, but Ryan is awesome too! Definitely a fun place, and they have amazing talent.

I can't say enough good stuff about this place. These guys are *awesome*. I've had a few tattoos before, but I'll never go anywhere else after this place!

Great place to get an excellent tattoo from talented and personable artists......Erik and Ryan are great artists that can really bring your vision to life. Erik did an amazing job on my lively wife's dragon tatoo with geisha. These guys are great and the prices are amazing.

Ryan has tattooed myself and my husband a few times now, and he is excellent. Trust his opinions and design. He may suggest changing something up a bit. He is really clean and probably goes through a box of gloves each session.

These guys are amazing!!
We were planning to be in from out of town, these guys fit us into their schedule, Ryan even coming in on his day off to fit in my husband.
The professionalism, cleanliness, talent and fun of these guys have is top notch.
We would highly recommend this shop!!

This shop is amazing. The people are great and the shop is clean. I will go here for as much work as I can and recommend everyone here to see if it's a good for their tattoo vision. 10/10 will allways recommend.

I personally haven't got work done here myself yet. But have been coming with my boyfriend who is getting a cover-up job. Eric is doing a phenomenal job. Inside the shop is very spacious and professional and comfortable. Everyone I met has been very nice and sociable. Can't wait to come up with my next tattoo to get it done here also.

I've got 1 tattoo from Ryan about 12 yrs ago and I'm getting another March 11th. This guys skills are KILLER!! 1-16-22 Fast forward a few months and I went back and got my third tattoo from Ryan !

I'm very picky about the types of tattoos that I put on my body. Usually, my tattoos have some type of personal significance and I agonize over them for a long time before I actually get tattooed on my body.My idea for the Joker came from a old t-shirt I had in the late 80s early 90s; I wore that t-shirt so much that it was a shell of its self when I finally out grew it. I never really out grew the image though.

It took me two years after my last tattoo to finally feel ready to get the Joker. After some timely advice and lots of searching I found my placement and my artist. I was lucky enough to reconnect with an old friend of mine Erik who I was happy to learn had been tattooing at Dark Star for the last six years! When I went to meet with Erik I was impressed with how clean and professional Dark Star was; lots of open space with semi private stations for each artist. The unassuming exterior hides a very modern, relaxing tattoo shop that tugs on my pop culture heart strings.

Dealing with Erik was one of the easiest parts of getting the Joker tattoo. Erik was friendly and confident that he could give me the tattoo I wanted at a fair price. I gave Erik the Joker image, we discussed the placement, and scheduled my appointment. Erik was very accommodating to my schedule he was willing to work weekends and evenings to finish my tattoo.

The end result is nothing short of amazing. Erik took his time to make sure he had every aspect of the Joker tattoo spot on. The detail in the face, hair, playing card, pistol, and even the HA HAs come together to create a colorful, scary, and perfect rendition of the original image I came to Erik with. Erik has always been an artist for as long as I've known him but the Joker tattoo he did for me surpassed any expatiation I had. If you want a bad ass tattoo by a experienced, creative, detail oriented artist then go make your appointment with Erik at Dark Star; you won't be disappointed.

Erik is absolutely the best. He did my wife's tattoo which was a hand sketched tree from her great grandma and a little note written buy her on a birthday card looked identical couldn't recommend him more!!!
