27 Tattoo Studio

Mason Atlas is absolutely incredible - the best tattoo artist I've met. He let my family barge in the evening before a funeral, requesting last minute memoriam tattoos. He was patient & attentive--two qualities you want in a tattoo artist! His attention to our feelings was as skillful as his linework. He even let me make adjustments to the final sketch of my tattoo within his iPad app, allowing me to truly personalize it. He had another appointment scheduled to tattoo a friend, & kindly postponed it to allow my family to have each of their tattoos completed. Our tattoos healed up beautifully and I never thought I'd prize an experience at a tattoo shop, but he really did make the occasion meaningful & calming. Anyone that can handle my in-laws with such patience is a gentleman & a scholar!

While I have not been to this studio yet, I must say that R2 is the best artist! My best and most beautiful was was done by him. He does excellent work and I'm hoping he can do some repair work for me that was done by another artist. I'm saving my $ for R2!

My review is not only about my artist but for people who seem to be confused about how they operate/the phone. This is all my personal experience and things I have observed during my many appointments through the last few years.

My artist is Nic Solis, words cannot express my appreciation, admiration, and all around good feeling toward this gentleman. Nic not only has done custom work on me, I also have a piece done completely by him with his creative freedom, and I have a rework/cover up in process by him. What I love most about Nic is he is humble, he does a great job and is a phenomenal artist but he really appreciates his clients, I have also observed this in other artists throughout the shop as well though I've never personally gotten work from anyone else. I have Heisenberg from breaking bad on my thigh, I had seen a drawing Nic had done just for fun and told him I'd love it tattooed. Instead of doing that same drawing he went and re-watched the series, pausing on various parts to get reference, then proceeded to create an entire new drawing for the tattoo. To me, that is some serious dedication and passion for your work, I'm not the only client he has done this for either.

For me though, yes in a way the tattoo artist is being paid by me to do me a service, but I think people forget they are their own people with feelings and they are artists who mostly are in the business to create. So walking in with work you saw on someone else saying you want it or wanting a tattoo exactly like one you found online isn't very exciting for them. And yes, these guys can be scheduled out many months to years at a time, THAT IS A GOOD THING. That doesn't mean all walk in shops are bad, but if you see an artist is busy and you've seen their phenomenal work, it more than likely means they do great jobs, then enough people like myself set up many appointments that span months to a year at a time.

He also has done a lot of work on my husband, and his too have turned out nothing short of amazing. I think a big part of our relationship as artist-client thrives on the fact that we have similar interests and have a lot in common when it comes to the work we are getting done. That is why it is important to research the person you will be working with and make sure you are on the same page and confident in each other to produce a beautiful piece of art.

For the people trying to get a hold of the shop. They might have base operating hours on here, but they are there whenever the artist have appointments, so there isn't really a set time. Usually appointments start around 11-12, so most likely there will be someone there through out the day starting around that time. And about the phone, most the artists are in the middle of work, they'd have to stop, take off gloves, and get to the phone in time for you to stay on the line, though some times there is an artist waiting for a client to arrive and they almost always answer the phone promptly. This shop does not have a secretary, it is only the artists in the shop at the time to help you out. But never in my time here have I seen them ignore someone right out until they left. They usually greet someone asking what they need, and let them know they can help them when they either have a good stopping point or give them the information they seek. Do not let bad reviews scare you from an amazing place.

Nice clean shop with personable artists. Rachel does amazing work. Peeped some of the other artists' work while there, all looked good.

I absolutely loved working with Annelisa at 27! She's an amazing artist and I wouldn't want anyone else to tattoo me. In general, the staff is friendly and the studio is chill and clean. I would definitely recommend this tattoo studio!

Walked in one day and set an appointment with Mason Atlas. Showed him a few pics of different things I wanted and he came up with an absolutely gorgeous piece of work. The tattoo process was smooth. I’ll be going back to him for more pieces.

Darrell Palmer is hands down one of the best artists in utah!! Friendly, listens to what you really want! He's had some health issues that started in December & still shows up!! I highly RECOMMEND him!!

I love the ambience of this shop. There is such a warm light feeling, it feels like a buzzing community of artists and creativity. It is super clean and the amount of talent is astounding. I love being tattooed in this shop by the most amazing artist, Kolo Unga.

I love this shop. Everyone that I have met has been so awesome to work with. The artist are down to Earth and talented. If you want quality work for something that you will have for the rest of your life, then 27 is a great option.

Ridiculous amount of talent all in one studio. I specifically went to Miss Amanda for my sleeve. I am always over the moon with what she has created for me. I recommend her for all flower/animal/greenery goodness to anyone!
