Union Ave Tattoo Company

Union Ave Tattoo Shop is the best place I’ve been to. Steve does AMAZING work, my last three tattoos were done by him and I won’t go anywhere else! Every piece he’s done is well thought out, he listens to me and what I want, and he is efficient. The shop itself is always comfortable to walk into and the rest of the staff is always so friendly and talkative. I really enjoy this place and will continue to go back there to get my work done! 5/5 stars ⭐️

I went in today looking to get my first tattoo which was also a very sentimental tattoo for me because it was for family members I paid my deposit and was scheduled for the next day to get it done so they could draw it up and everything. Shortly later they called me saying it was drawn up and I could get it done today if I wanted. So I went back they perfectly drew up exactly what I wanted and they got straight to it. They were very kind of it being my first tattoo and let me take breaks if I needed and talked me through it all. They are extremely military/ vet friendly the apprentice that did mine is actually a vet so it was nice being able to have military conversations while it was being done. When the tattoo was over it came out even better then I could have hoped and absolute work of art. The shop is also very well kept and has plenty of art work to get inspiration from. Will absolutely be going their for my next one.

Steve did an amazing job on taking my ideas and turning them into reality, highly recommend, friendly and proficient at what they do. Will definitely be going back for more 🤟🏻

Got a back piece done by Steve and he is very quick and efficient with his work and the price is definitely reasonable for what you want. Would recommend this shop especially if you’re on base

i just got my first tat in here last night and it was super fun! the guys all made it seem less scary and it went by so fast! it was a super cool place and was overall a rlly good experience

Been here for my last two tattoos and they’ve came out fire always! Staff was highly enjoyable to be around, they make you comfortable and the environment is super clean! Steve is great at what he does I would definitely recommend to a friend!

I have had a majority of my tattoos done here and have work from Matt, Pauly and Steve. Iv never left with a bad piece or something I didn't like. Pitch em an idea and they'll come back with something that exceeds your expectations EVERY DAMN TIME! 6/5 Stars, I literally bully my friends into going here and not one has had a negative experience yet!

I had a really great time at Union Ave ! It was a warm and comfortable experience. Everyone is very friendly and really great artists. I have gone to Union Ave Tattoo company for 4 of my traditional tattoos! The artist Paulie at the shop is an apprentice and has done all my tattoos. He is very talented for only tattooing for a short time. I highly suggest him, but everyone at the shop is very talented and can make sure you walk out with something super awesome !! I even got one of the GWYG tattoos out of their gumball machine for $100 ! And it was super fun just going with the flow (:

Great first time getting a tattoo with these guys! It started with calling them and asking them for information, and they were very polite and to the point. Managed to squeeze some time in the same day to get my tattoo done, so once I got there, I let them know it was my first and they were HIGHLY understanding and answered any and all questions I had regarding the topic. With regard to the tattooing process, they were very patient with me as I was cussing quite a bit due to the pain and was pretty talkative. They also had given me all necessary instructions in regard to tattoo maintenance, which to me shows they care about the customer and want my business in the future. Overall, it was a great experience, and if I were to ever need any images done, I would recommend them.

The ONLY reason why they get a 4 star instead of a 5 from me is due to their lettering. As you can see in the photos, the "ri" in "primum" is connected, which is unfortunate as I cant really do much about it since it isnt a lack of ink, but an issue of too much ink. However, as you can ALSO see from their work, they did an otherwise good job, and for that they have my trust on any tattoo... that doesnt require lettering.

Tl;dr: Great group of tattooists who will get you a nice looking tattoo and provide you with a good time, but be certain that if you're getting wording done that the tracing is 100% to your liking. Beyond that, great place. Have fun!

I came here for my first big piece so I was nieve about prices. I was charged $400 and the tattoo was 1/3 of the size it was supposed to be. Don’t rip off beginners because those are the people who will keep coming back for more. Do better.
