I absolutely LOVE Brandon - I will never go to anyone else. I have a total of four tattoos, and Brandon has been my go-to guy for my past two. He jumped at the chance to work with my idea of white ink, and has always been open to hearing my ideas. I love that Brandon respects the ideas of the customer, and never tries to sway or differ the concept, in fact - his work is far better than I've ever expected. My sessions have always been a blast, and Brandon is phenomenal at what he does. I'm obsessed with his work, and I cannot wait to have more work done.

Great atmosphere and excellent experiences at A Dead Anchor!! I have been there multiple times and am treated like family. Brandon, the owner, has done multiple tattoos for me and I've also seen Jordanne Le Fae, who are both incredibly professional and help you enchance the ideas you come with. Shop is also very clean and you just feel comfortable there. I would highly recommend A Dead Anchor!!

The artists here will take the time to help you in the design of your tattoo. They are all good artists and they have been in the business for years. Brandon (the owner) has done both my tattoos. I am very happy with the work done. Friendly, knowledgeable, and professional.

CREATIVITY beyond anything you can imagine. Lady B is top of the industry. I get so many compliments on my tattoos from her. I HIGHLY recommend to anyone who wants a true piece of artwork. In addition to giving me a phenomenal tattoo, I also truly enjoy the people. Very kind, honest, and professional. Truly fabulous. GET THE TATTOO!

I loved my experience at A Dead Anchor! I had Heather for a piercing and she was so good! The shop was beautiful and super clean, which made me feel much better about getting something pierced there. They are open to questions and super kind about after-care questions as well! If you're looking for a clean shop with super friendly people who are extremely talented, go to A Dead Anchor!

So I got a pretty big thigh piece done by Lady B and I am beyond thrilled. In total, I spent almost 23 hours in the shop (not all of that time was spent being tattooed of course) so I feel as though I can speak to the general atmosphere fairly accurately. I was somewhat nervous as I only had a small tattoo prior and I was scared that the “real” tattoo people would make fun of me. That couldn’t be farther from my experience. Everyone was very kind and fun. We joked about music, movies, memes (all of the essential m’s). I got a chance to see work done by all of the artists during my time there and great work abounds, but let’s focus on B. She was incredible. Not only is she extremely conscientious about hygiene and ensuring that everything was sterile, but she was also very fun. I think I spent about 18 hours in the chair and if you are going to spend that much time with someone, you need to know that they can hang.
Now, as far as the tattoo goes. It. Is. Amazing. I got a Medusa that is unlike anything I have ever seen. Even before she was finished I was wowing people with the detail within the piece. It is pretty rare to find someone that can completely nail a face, but A Dead Anchor has done just that. I can’t recommend her enough.
Overall, the place was clean; the staff was professional (but not uptight); and the tattoo I received is incredible. This shop is truly a gem.
Because I believe a review should never be 100% positive or negative, my one bit of advice for the shop is that the chairs can be a bit wobbly, but that is such a small thing compared to everything else!

Really awesome place to get a tattoo done! I worked with Jordanne on a custom piece. She was really easy to work with and always fast with communication throughout the design process. After a couple back and forth's there was a final sketch and it was ready to go on; it looked even better when it was put on my skin! She was also very accommodating in scheduling the sessions as well as a touch-up.
Everyone in the shop is friendly, and seeing what they were working on as my piece was being done I wouldn't hesitate to go with any of the artists here. The shop is super clean and you can tell everyone cares a lot about what they do. Cannot recommend this place enough! I wouldn't look anywhere else to get a tattoo.

My friend has passed out and they took wonderful care of her! (Thank you) My very first tattoo looks great and I wasn't worried at all. The people there are very friendly and humorous. I do plan to go here again some time really soon! Highly suggest. 10/10.

Truly Helpful Piercer. I got a piecing at another shop a couple months previous. The piercing started to embed and I finally decided to see someone. I chose this place based on the reviews. I'm very thankful I did. Anna discussed all of the options with me and we just swapped out the jewelry. I wish I had come here for the original work and will come back for any other work. The prices are amazing. I could have saved $20 by just starting here. If you need a piercing, don't bother looking anywhere else.
