This review is more for the owner rather than the artist. I went in earlier and got some lettering done on my chest and it turned out great. My main issue is that the price was way too high. That’s not necessarily on the artist. I understand that at almost all shops, the artist have to pay a certain percent to the shop causing them to hike up their prices on tattoos. I still tipped my artist a full 20% because I understand what it’s like to have a tip based job. Some days, it’s not always easy. I could’ve easily gone to another place that charged less which is part of the reason I won’t come back to this particular shop. The artist was good and I was pleased with his work, the price was just too high.

Oli was referred to us by my Godson to have my daughters bellybutton pierced. She was very nice and met us when came in. The place was very clean and neat! We picked her jewelry and were ready. My daughter was nervous and Oli was great at talking to her and reassured her it was gonna be great! She drew out exactly where it needed to go and went step by step on how she was going to do it. She was so nice and fun and relaxed us both. Everything went exactly as she said it would and we were done! She barely felt it and it looks great! Thank you Oli for a great experience!

I've been here twice now, and out of all the tattoo parlors in the area that I've gone to, this one is without a doubt the best. The entire staff is friendly and extremely good at what they do, the atmosphere is great, and the pricepoints can absolutely not be beaten for the quality you get. I don't ever write reviews, but after my latest experience I definitely had to leave a positive one.

Great experience! Friendly staff on phones and in person, which is not the case at every tattoo shop! For walk-in tattoos or piercings, would highly recommend!

All my tattoos are done here by The Juggernaut, and when I came home for the first time in a year,
My mom said “omg those look badass” “Better wear a condom, I don’t want grandkids”💀💀

Jeff did an amazing job on my first tattoo i couldnt be more pleased. The line work was incredible and the attention to detail was through the roof. Still after having it for over a month i get compliments and people always ask where did i get it. Definitely gonna get another one from him here soon! As for the other artist theres a female there also who does an amazing job. Did both my cousins tattoo. I love the atmoshpere as well. 1k out of 10 recommend this place!!!!

I just received a tattoo from vagabond jay and it was the best tattooing experience I’ve had! The shop is very clean, and the tattoo was an original I had seen up for grabs. The after care was awesome as well. I highly recommend this shop, specifically Jay. I will be coming back!!!

Level of knowledge at this location is terrible. Tattoo’s basically turn into scars and will take forever to heal. If you don’t have a high pain tolerance you won’t do too well either. Artists dig the needles into you. Would never recommend this place to anyone or any animal. Pretty sure you can get a 10x better tattoo in prison with an electric toothbrush.
