Mark and I have been collaborating in my tattoos for four years through multiple tattoo shops - hands down the best artist I have ever worked with, and ecstatic that he finally has his own place! Would highly recommend him for anyone new to tattoos, or even a seasoned "tattoo vet." He knows his stuff and works to make your tattoo design vision a reality. Please make Mark Merchant your first, last, and only stop for your tattoo artist go-to!

Got my 3/4 sleeve done by Mark about 7 years ago. I’ve gotten so many compliments not only on the design but how incredibly clean the lines are. 7 years later, the lines are still super clean and the color still vibrant. I wanted to extend the sleeve to my wrist so of course I reached out to Mark. He got me in quick, and drew this amazing addition to my sleeve! I just love it! Mark is someone I’ll always feel confident about getting high quality tattoos from! You won’t be disappointed! Mark really takes the time to make you feel comfortable and build a relationship with you. It's not just about the tattoo. He truly cares about making your tattoo vision come to life and wants to get to know the stories behind it. Great guy and amazing artist!

Mark has done 3/4 tattoos and you can easily tell as the fourth is not near as beautiful. Mark does crazy good work and I always recommend him to anyone wanting something special.
Mark is super clean and in the tattoo game, that’s essential (no doubt his area and stuff for tattooing is as clean and sterile as a controlled environment could get). He encourages a super simple routine for caring for the tattoo which is extremely important. Don’t sleep on this guy, he’s the real deal.
No matter what you’ll get, it’ll be world class.

This man is amazing! private tattoo studio,very professional,smart kindest Tattoo artist. Very steady gentle tattoo Doctor I call him! Very clean, kind and gentle person that listens and very good at what he does. I am amazed of how he can free hand designs and the use of his colors. I get compliments everyday for his awesome art. Safe, clean environment with amazing talent! I am excited for my next tattoo sessions! This guy knows what he is doing. :) I am happy to have found him he is the best!

I am a heavily tattooed collector and have been tattooed by over 40 different artists. Mark is by far one of the most perfesional and curteous that I have worked with. I felt very comfortable with him in his shop and was treated with the utmost respect. He also helped keep me in a calm place while tattooing a rather difficult and typically painful area making the experience that much more bearable. I would highly recommend Mark and if I had more space I would definitely go back.

Exceptional talent, and exceptional personality. I love that Mark takes the time to talk to you, and really collaborates with you to create a tattoo you will love. He is the only person, so far that i trust to tattoo me. I will be returning for another tattoo.
