I have had 3 tats done by Joe at Artistic and all are amazing! Joe is a great artist who takes his work seriously, but he is also very down-to-earth and makes you feel comfortable immediately. I'm sold on Artistic. People have recommended other local tat shops, but I'm sticking with Artistic! They're good guys and make you feel more like an old friend than a customer.

James does excellent work. From piercing to tattoos, I have been consistently impressed. I have even taken my children for ear piercings and they had no problems and healed well. My favorite tattoo he did was this one. It is a few years old now and still looks great.

I recently visited Artistic Advantage to get my nose pierced. When I arrived, I was met by a gruff, agitated nose piercing staffer who rush me through the entire process under 2 minutes. I sensed that something was wrong when he looked at the clock and seem to rush. Against my better judgment, I went ahead with the procedure.
Because I’ve had a piercing before in Minnesota in a highly sterile, physician’s office-like environment, I knew that this wasn’t standard protocol. As a result, he pierced my nose so tight that the piercing sunk into my nose cartilage within two days. Now in Ohio, I have to hire another piercer to remove this defective piercing, let my wound heal, and get another nose piercing.
I imagine that the Main tattoo artist (who seem to be the main owner) is a really nice man. I imagine that if you want.a great tattoo, you will get it here.
Unfortunately, as a general Caveat Emptor, I cannot recommend getting a piercing here. I did not get the standard care that I deserved. Sad.

Joe is kind and very talented, he did my 1st ever tattoo and it turned out amazing. James redid my daith piercing and it was quick and easy. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a tattoo or a piercing.

I am soo very impressed with Joe and Artistic Advantage. I explained to Joe what I wanted and he drew it up perfect and exactly how I envisioned in my mind. And this as we know can be a daunting task. All in all, I would definitely drive over 700 miles just to go to see Joe at Artistic Advantage and have much more of my ink done by him or his counterparts. Wonderfully amazingly super spectacular job!!!!

After 2 waisted trips to a shop in summersville my husband and I decided to take a little longer trip down to Artistic Advantage and it was the best decision we coulda made.. not only did they take good care of us but they made us feel so comfortable and right at home and we had some nice conversations with some good people and are tats look awesome! It was my first trip to an actual shop and it was exactly as I imagined it would be!! Highly recommend them!

This is my favorite place to get any work done, both peircings an tattoos! James has always done great work, everything is clean and its a comfortable atmosphere. He's done quite a bit for me and my daughters, now it's time for him to meet my son and give him a tattoo for his 18th bday! Thanks James, see you tomorrow!
