PAINTED LOTUS STUDIOS REVIEWS

Scott from Painted Lotus Tattoo is the greatest. I was lucky to get a spot with him. He designed a stunning tattoo from a few brief exchanges and it was better than anything I could have imagined. He was polite, courteous, professional, fun and does 11/10 work. Couldn't be happier. Going back next month for more. The whole team here had a great vibe, it's a clean studio, with a great energy. Thank you all.

I've been to 4 different shops for my tattoos so far, and Painted Lotus takes the pinnacle. Jason absolutely killed it. The quality, pride, and effort put into my tattoo was unparalleled. The banter between everyone at the shop was hilarious, too. I will 100% be going back here for my next one. Thanks.

Cat & Ro, thank you both for making my mom’s first tattoo experience perfect. So kind and patient and of course amazing tattoos. Thank you so so much, we both had a great time today.

URGE STUDIOS REVIEWS

I had a small tattoo on my breast removed by Pete. He was extremely professional, personable and made me feel super comfortable and relaxed. The front desk staff are great, they made me laugh and were all super professional. I will absolutely be back. Thank you Pete.

This place is the best, artists are friendly and super welcoming. It’s clean and sanitary. Which to most that’s a huge plus. John and Jen were there for my tattoo appointment and loved them both. Specialties: Realism.

Jen has been amazing! So far I’ve done three sessions on my tattoo removal and I’m very happy with the progress 10/10 recommend Jen.

UNION TATTOO STUDIO REVIEWS

Dusty made all of my tattoo visions come to life, and was very friendly & encouraging all the way. I got my very first tattoo with Dusty at Union when I turned 25, and since then I have trusted him with both of my arms to a total of 9 tattoos! The shop is always 10/10 clean, welcoming, and full of good vibes. I always recommend Union Tattoo to my friends and also strangers when they ask about my ink. They have become my second family. Also another big shoutout the Greg and Nicole. Love you guys.

I have had three tattoos done here (one of which was multiple sessions), and I have had nothing but positive experiences! All of the artists are welcoming and respectful, and the atmosphere is really neat. Two of my tattoos were done by Dusty, and I adore them both. The third was done by Nikki, and she did amazing work. Highly recommend this shop.

Had work done by Nicole, not only was it perfect, it was near painless. Her laser straight lines are stunning and depth control made the tattoo feel like someone was drawing in me with a finger nail. Highly recommend her and will be booking with Nicole again soon.
