The Collective Tattoo & Body Piercing is welcoming, and insanely clean. A big group of skillful artists who truly care about their craft and their clients! This place really feels like a second home. Plus, the front staff are awesome! They treat you like family and are honest with you upfront. I have been to a lot of shops but nothing as amazing as this one. Each artist has tattooed me and I've never gotten so many compliments in my life!! 100000000/10 :)

I called about a walk in service today, and they said I could be put in a wait list. This was normal and I said yes but I would need to come in after 6:30. Which they said was fine! I get there around 6:30. By 7:30 I was walking out with a new tattoo. I spent less than what I thought I would, and my artist was absolutely amazing and was super interested in me as a person. The shop is very well maintained, clean, super cool bathroom too! I think this will be my new tattoo shop. Highly impressed.

I absolutely love the Collective Tattoo! I had to wait nearly a year for an appointment because they were so booked up, and it was 100% worth the wait! The space is always clean and the staff are very friendly and professional. My artist, Bennett Edwards, was amazing from start to finish. I didn't have a definite idea of what I wanted and had never gotten a tattoo that required multiple sessions, so he walked me through the process step by step. The individual artist spaces are comfortable and the artists take care to make sure customers have everything they need, including water and snacks. During each session, my artist regularly checked in with me to see if I needed a break or if I was uncomfortable at any time. The sessions were spaced out roughly one month each to make sure the tattoo was completely healed before adding more. The shop make sure to email me reminders about upcoming sessions and provided me with extensive aftercare instructions after each session completed. The pricing is reasonable considering the amount of time, effort, and ink that goes into the tattoos. I'll absolutely be going back for more tattoos in the future.

I did a walk in appointment yesterday for a tattoo, from the first face I saw, to the last face I saw everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming! My tattoo artist Mike was incredible! I had a vision of what I wanted and he made it happen! He paid close attention to every detail and the shading was on point. LOVE the way it turned out. The place looked and smelled clean, the artist made sure to open every package in front of me, which anyone that has gotten a tattoo can appreciate. I would definitely go back to Mike in the future and would 100% recommend him to anyone!

I have nothing but positive things to say about The Collective!! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the quality of service I received exceeds expectations! I got both a tattoo and a piercing done here and was 100% satisfied with both. The artists make sure that you are comfortable with your piece and take time to talk through designs, jewelry, etc. to make sure everything is what you expect. I will definitely be coming back in the future and would recommend this studio to others as well.

Everything about this shop is rad!
I originally had a consultation for an idea with Liv… after a great conversation we decided it wouldn’t quite work. It was incredibly professional and I trusted her opinion. So the first shout out is for her!
She referred me to Michael and the shop was awesome on letting me use my deposit towards my tattoo with him as a walk in. Researched his work and was pumped to get it with him. After getting on the waitlist, it was getting very close to closing time and was very surprised they called me in at the very end of the day. I was going to get two small pieces with just Michael (one on each wrist). As I was talking with some of the artists, Aaron had the idea of tattooing one of the pieces at the same time Michael did the other. For a split second it made me nervous because I’d never seen Aaron’s work. All that went away when he came back with the drawing! It was both of theirs first time tattooing one person at the same time. They were stoked about it and it made me stoked to be apart of it with them.
If you want excellent work from people that love what they do, THIS is the shop!

I have gotten two tattoos by Clay and my conch pierced at this location. The shop is beautiful and spotless every time I go in. Everyone is welcoming. If you don’t have an artist in mind, they’re great about suggesting who would be best in regards to what you want. I always recommend The Collective for tattoos and piercings when anyone asks for suggestions. I plan to go back for more soon.

Absolutely fantastic. Staff are super friendly and eager to help. The artists are knowledgeable and passionate about their work and work with you to make your vision come to life in such an amazing way. I'm in love with my tattoo and will be back very soon.

Helpful and friendly staff. They helped us make an appointment and went over all of the jewelry options for our new piercing. I loved their decorations. Clean and comfortable experience!
