This place is just the best! From the moment I walked in they made me feel comfortable in the journey to cover up some past mistakes lol. The front desk asked what kind of work I wanted done and then suggested a couple artists to look at their portfolio's and I found Rob Beresford. He was booked up almost a year but I went ahead and booked for a sleeve which is several sessions. I have seen a lot of people come in and think they would get a sleeve the same day or 2 sessions and that is not how it works. It takes time! Fast forward to my actual appointments nothing but great work, good conversation, funny movies, and amazing times! 2 years later I have 2 full sleeves and looking for spots to get more LOL. Rob was the best to work with and I will not go anywhere else ever again! Just from spending so much time in the shop here are some pro tips....
1. Look at all the artists work and pick a couple you really like.
2. Schedule a consultation and talk to the artist.
3. Do not be afraid to ask questions or make suggestions.
4. Follow all the guidelines your artist makes such as after care and healing. I have seen so many people not follow these and cause damage to the work that was done.
5. Understand it is a process if getting a sleeve and takes time!
Hope this helps someone on their journey!

They took 3 walk ins with no issue and accommodated me and my friends.
We paid about $200 each and we are happy with the final outcome. They don't allow anyone to be with you while getting tattooed, which was a bummer because it was my friends first.
The waiting area is prestine and comfortable. They are in a good location with good parking arrangements.

I got a little piece done by Anna and it was great! One of my favorites! I will definitely come back to get some more work done by her. Only thing is that my friend got tattooed by an different artist there and i spoke with him a little bit about getting a piece done and he quoted me a whole lot more than Anna. And I’m totally aware that different artist charge different things, its not a problem, i just didn’t know the range lol. Overall a great shop with great artist who do such good work!! Definitely will recommend!

I recently had my tattoo done by Carl Fuchs and he did a fantastic job. I gave him some ideas of what I wanted and he ran with it. I highly recommend him and his establishment to anyone who wants a great tattoo.

Omg this has got to be the best cleanest most decorative tattoo studio ever made. THE decor alone is fascinating. But baby my tattoo artist Chris "Stoll " is the bomb. His eye for design and color is amazing. He's also very patient and kind. Look at my piece of art. Lovvvvve It!!! So detailed and clean yall..I'm already scheduled for the next one. Gloria P

I’ve had multiple tattoos from multiple artists and have always had a pleasant experience. Clean facility, knowledgeable staff. Definitely make an appointment if you have something specific you want. Alley does very good fine-line work :)

Anna Ramirez is amazing! My husband and I did a walk-in appointment and got paired with Anna and she was so accommodating, created the most perfect tattoo for my husband and I, and was overall so welcoming. I highly recommend

I got tattooed here my experience was okay but I have one concern. I got tattooed by Chris Garcia as a walk in and my only concern/complaint is that he sneezed while tattooing me and didn’t change his gloves. It’s a minor gripe but having an open wound and sneezing just made me a little nervous. Other than that my experience was good.

Had a tattoo done by Anna. She did an amazing job and it far exceeded my expectations. Studio is very clean. Reception staff is friendly. Highly recommend.

I have several tattoos from 3 different artist at Red5. Carl Fuchs did my thigh piece, Rob Beredsford is doing my floral sleeve, and Anthony did my forearm quote. I absolutely love, and recommend this place for art work. They have a wide range of artist here, and every single one of them is talented as the next.
If you decide to walk in there's computers to the right of the entrance that has previews of the artists' portfolios.
11/10 always tell my friends about this place! Don't hesitate, this place will not disappoint.
