Excellent experience and my tattoo healed beautifully. Jake was great to collaborate with.

Great service great art well definitely be back

Highly recommend. Honest, clean, and thorough. Only place I will go to — I have referred family members and friends, after I’ve been asked ‘who I go to.’ They stand by that as well and have been back several times. Many single tattoos and full pieces I’ve had done here, beautifully finished.

Was initially happy with my tattoo and with the cleanliness of the shop itself. However as time went on my tattoo has not aged well with a part of it just looking cheaply done and other parts being prorated and scarring on my skin. I have asked multiple friends with tattoos and other tattoo shops about their aftercare and all told me the opposite of what I was told here. On top of that, communication was awful with this place and when I tried to get my free touch up within a year that they offer I was essentially ghosted. I have also asked other shops what they would have charged for my tattoo and what friends who got tattoos of the same size payed and I feel I payed too much. Initially did not have these complaints but it has not aged well even with me doing the exact after care and care with time that was given to me.

Jake done good. On a thumb scale, it’s a 2. On a star scale, it’s a 5. But on the 10 scale? 11.

I have gotten two tattoos from Jake now he’s the only one so far to ink my skin and it not over time get thick or look bad . I’ve had my link for one and two years now they look as a good as the heal date .

(Update!!! They owner has responded and is dealing with the situation. He has verified that her views do not represent the company. Will for sure give them a chance and try them in the future with such an understanding owner.) One of the artists made a TikTok about not allowing numbing cream. Although i personally don’t use it it just shows the disregard for their customers comfort and happiness. Stated in the video that the tattoo had to be “earned” but a tattoo is earned the moment you paid for it in my opinion. It’s really a shame because i was looking into new tattoos parlors and this isn’t too far away from where i am. Disappointing.

Amazing job done. First tattoo ever I have and did it turn out amazing and well done. Worked with what design I had in mind and got me in and out quickly. I will always come back here for my Tattoos. Staff was amazing and helped me with what I needed done. Jake Koenig was my artist and did a great job with my tattoo and made me very comfortable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I got a piece done today by Sam and she was the best! Super patient and such an outgoing artist! The shop is VERY well kept, and their art is amazing. This is the only shop I'd EVER recommend! There seem to be quite a few negative reviews on here about Samantha, however the accounts all only have 1 review, and that is against her. Clearly a smear campaign. First piece I've had done by her and she was clean, professional, and made sure I was happy with my art. She is a 10/10 artist, as is Jake. Blackwater is deserving of their 5/5 reviews all day!!!

BlackWater13 is the only place I will go to get my tattoo work done, I live in Florida currently but here on vacation and Samantha is the first person I called to get my newest tattoo work done. She is very professional and just all around a fun person. Her work is impeccable and the environment is friendly and clean. You can’t go wrong with Blackwater 13. Thank you Samantha you are so inspiring a true beauty.

Blackwater 13 is the best tattoo shop I've been to! It's always such a clean, and professional environment! Jake, the owner, is such a friendly and very talented artist. He has been doing amazing tattoos for years and his reputation should not be ruined over one artists actions and dishonesty. Give the man a chance to handle his employee. He just became aware of the situation after most of you did, he doesn't even have Tik Tok! He cares about his work and his customers & would never allow this type of behavior, so I know this will be handled!

Great service and professional and clean!! . great colors that last!!

This shop is very clean, courteous and professional, please do not let the actions of one artist ruin it for the whole shop and reputation, her actions and what she posts do not represent or speak for the whole shop. It will be handled. this is one of if not the best shop in town, great quality and professional work, so again please do not disregard the shop. There are bad apples on every tree.

samantha is literally insane and not only lies to clients but intentionally hurts them so she can brag about it on the internet

definitely don’t get a tattoo from samantha salvaria, she brags on the Internet about purposely hurting clients to make them earn their tattoos which is incredibly unprofessional. pick one of the other artists

Samantha is filthy, unprofessional, the art is hideous and she is nasty and rude. They really just let anyone tattoo nowadays. Do not get tatted by Samantha pick another artist here

this chick samantha posted a tiktok about lying to her clients about numbing options on purpose so she would hurt them while tattooing?? ALL OTHER ARTISTS R FINE just don’t get tatted by Samantha!!!

Whatever you do don’t get tatted by samantha she’s crazy, all the other artists are fine

most of the artists are great, but avoid samantha at all costs! she refuses to use any kind of numbing on her clients, even if they request it.

Best tattoo artist in town great price and great art
