I am creative minded and had many ideas for a tribute tattoo. Mike helped me focus on the important things and guided my decision by giving facts about skin healing, aesthetic design, and the dos and don't of tattoo artistry. Mike has a soft touch which made my skin easy to heal. I enjoyed getting to know him over the coffee breaks talking about life philosophies. He is a true artist. All I can say is I wish I got a tattoo sooner because it is freeing. Thank you Mike, I love my violin (Mom), koi (Dad), and all the energy in your creation!

Very happy with the work Mike did. He was strategic with the shape and design placement which made the end result better than I could have imagined.

I've spent a lot of time over at this shop and I've never been disappointed with Mike's work. Amazing work from a truly gifted tattoo artist. Reasonable pricing based on work, amazing artwork and a very welcoming environment. Mike's tattoos are well worth the money. 10/10 will be making my way back here soon! Highly recommend to any newcomers.

Mike is truly a talented and gifted professional. I gave him some ideas of what I wanted my left arm sleeve to be and gave him full control and artistic design. He shared some design ideas which were truly a work of art! He was the utmost professional, truly gifted and made me feel comfortable. He helped me with the pain management because I am a big baby but never made me feel bad about it. I'm already thinking about my next piece! Ladies, Mike is the tattoo artist you need!

Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with! The consultation was easy, I was able to talk with him about what I was looking for and some ideas I had and he was able to give suggestions on what we could do to make a one of a kind piece. Mike was very easy to talk with and the design he came up with was exactly what I wanted, and he was very open about the whole process and always made sure I had what I needed. I highly recommend working with Mike on your next tattoo!

I went to Mike with a concept i had been kicking around in my head for 17 years for a right arm sleeve. We met for 5 min. he listened to my extremely loose concept and designed a work of art. He honestly knew what i wanted better than i did. He took concepts i had and built on them and created a beautiful piece that i am honored to wear. The finished tattoo exceeded my wildest expectations. I took a leap of faith and trusted his vision and am so glad i did. The process was a journey from concept to finish, but Mike makes it easy. I looked forward to and miss our appointments, they were a perfect break from my normal day to day grind. At the end after our last appt. Mike presented me with the original drawing that he used to create the tattoo and i have it framed in my office.
Thank you Mike!!

Mike at Arthouse is top notch! His artistic view will create a masterpiece of a tattoo! I have had a couple of large tattoos done by Mike at his studio. It is always a great experience with a clean, private studio, where the entire focus and attention is on making your tattoo perfect. Worth every cent and I will be back for more!

I came in to the consultation appointment with a vague idea of a phoenix tattoo and left the last appointment with a magnificent work of art that I will cherish forever. The design and color choices exceeded my expectations. I am so happy with how it all turned out!
Mike is super friendly and professional.
The shop is beautiful and always very clean.
All around this was an amazing experience and I HIGHLY recommend getting your next big piece done here.

I had Mike design and complete my first "big" tattoo project. I wanted a special tattoo designed, and from the initial consultation to the completion of the tattoo, Mike was very professional and kind. He sent me sketches of his image of my vision before the tattoo. Afterwards, he checked in on me to make sure my tattoo was healing properly. You can tell he really cares about creating artistry that will make his clients happy. I'm very pleased with the art he created for me, and I will cherish it always. You will not be disappointed with Arthouse Tattoo.
