I was tattooed by Chase. I met with him the day before and showed him what I was thinking for a memorial piece for my dog. He took the idea and made it better than I wouldve ever come up with and did an amazing job. Hes super friendly, professional, and made the experience enjoyable.

From out of town, came to Assassin’s as a walk-in. Both my friend and I got smaller-sized tattoos, myself having Chase as the artist. Chase made the experience very comfortable and relaxing - really setting the tone of the session. Highly recommend Chase and this shop! (See attached photo LOL he was great)

I got tattooed by Matt, who was me and my friends absolutely amazing tattoo artist. We were both walk ins and we were greeted and set up as quick as possible. The design process was easy and straightforward, yet Matt kept us well informed in decisions made in our reference designs for the best healing outcome. The process of the tattooing was quick yet very thorough, and Matt made sure to prioritize comfort during the duration of the visit. The artists at this shop all know what they’re doing and are incredibly talented and helpful people. My friend got excellent coverup advice from another artist as well. Shoutout to him. I was recommended this shop by several people and I am happy to say I will for sure be recommending this as well. I will add photos of my tattoo as soon as I am able to take my wrap off!

I had such a great experience at Assassin with artist, Timur. He truly brought my vision to life and drew a tattoo that had been a dream in my mind for years. I’m so grateful. The shop manager was great too! Super friendly and welcoming!

Lauren was great with my daughter while piercing her ears. Very professional and made sure to explain the process to her while also making sure that everything was sterile throughout the whole process.

I came in as a walk in for my first tattoo, I had a great experience. Everyone is very professional and they’re easy to talk to. I’m already planning on my next tattoo and I’m happy to say I’ll be coming here again for it!

(Not my tattoo) but I just came across this on Facebook. I gotta say, Im highly disappointed. My fiancée and I visited Assasin back in I think February, went in as walk ins. I asked about a memorial tattoo and was told I needed to schedule an appointment. OK, cool, no problem. My fiancée wanted runes on his finger. Super simple nordic runes. He was also told he needed an appointment. What?? But this tattoo that is pictured could be done as a walk in but not some runes? Idk, just kinda seemed like nobody wanted to actually tattoo that day. Dude at the counter seemed less than thrilled and didnt give off a huge welcoming atmosphere. I ended up taking my business to Arkham instead. I wont ever take it to Assassin

First off, by far my favorite tattoo was done at this shop! But this was the best tattoo experience I’ve ever had as well. The staff are very welcoming, accommodating, and just very cool all around! The shop was very clean and professional, I felt very comfortable from start to finish. I’ll absolutely be recommending Assassin Tattoo Studio to anyone looking for a beautiful tattoo!!

If you are looking for a great tattoo experience in NE Ohio, Assassin Tattoo Studio is your spot. I first came in about two months ago as a walk in and was very impressed by the cleanliness and professionalism of the shop. I had such a great experience with my tattoo artist PAUL that I have come back to get tattooed again twice since. Paul is an amazingly talented artist who will take your ideas and turn them into true works of art. His lines are super clean and his color work is amazing. All three times Paul made me feel super comfortable, appreciated, and listened to as a customer. It is great to find an artist that you feel confident in and I will definitely continue coming back. Follow them on social media too if you want to try to catch one of their flash sale events which they seem to have semi-frequently. I could not be happier with my now 3 experiences I have had with Paul at Assassin Tattoo Studio!

Timur did an amazing piece for my first tattoo! Details are perfect and a great design. He took my concept and made it so much better. I will be booking the next piece soon. Everyone at the shop was friendly professional and had great energy! Shop was spotless and clean. Just an amazing experience start to finish. 10/10 would recommend!!

We bought a gift certificate for our sons birthday. Its one of his favorite studios with top artists and great service. The work is gorgeous and blends well with his collection. The artists make sure that aftercare education is highlighted. Great place to get ink.

Lauren pierced my niece’s ears and she was so ecstatic, my niece told me and her mother that she felt so safe and comfortable with Lauren and she would only want to go to her in the future if she wanted more piercings. She’s so patient and just an all around amazing person, thanks so much for doing and awesome job not only with the piercings but being so supportive and a safe space for everyone that comes to you

Audrey has amazing work and shes a fantastic person. I loved getting my tattoo at Assassins. It was an enjoyable experience and the shop is really nice. My tattoo is everything and more that I had hoped. Ill definitely come back for another tattoo in the future. (Everyone who works there is a dork and I love their humour~)

Shout-out to Timur, who did an incredible job on the piece on my arm. Amazing amount of detail, shading, and highlights. Honestly, his take on my original design was so much better than I could have imagined. Experience was great, everyone I met was professional and made the process simple. Cant wait to go back.

Timur was my artist, and if you’re looking for a detail oriented visionary, who is an exceptional at fine line and black and white, this is your artist! He brought my concept to life and knocked it out of the park. Both Eric and Timur were so welcoming and chill, the entire experience was a 10/10. I’ll definitely be back for my next work!

Lauren is absolutely AMAZING!!!! She did a Surface Tragus piercing on me and it was the best experience I have ever had with getting pierced, and I’ve had many piercings over the years. I have never not been sore or tender later in the day or the following days after getting pierced, but with Lauren…..I had no issues, discomfort or tenderness at any point in time whatsoever. I will only get pierced by Lauren Ashley from here on out. I HIGHLY recommend getting any and all piercings by Lauren 🖤🖤

Got my nipples pierced by Lauren in October on Friday the 13th. She was very informative, knowledgeable, and explained everything she was doing before she did it. She explained aftercare and now 2 months post, they’ve healed beautifully and haven’t had a single issue. I love them and will be back for more! Thank you Lauren!!!!

Great walk-in experience!Sometimes you just wake up and just want to get a tattoo. That is how I ended up here on a Sunday.We decided it was time for a matching tattoo. Ice cream flavored.We were promptly greeted by an enthusiastic gentleman ready to help us with our tattoos. We were quickly matched with an artist who got to work right away drawing our idea out.The waiting room is comfortable. Relaxing furniture, tv with Star Trek, coffee, and water.Our tattoos turned out great! It was such a fun experience.

Got my septum and angel fangs pierced by Lauren, and the experience was amazing both times! Lauren is so friendly and walked me through the entire process both times, took extra care to make sure the placement was right, and was very responsive afterwards if I had any questions about aftercare or the healing process. The studio itself is well-kept and clean and the front desk staff have been nothing but friendly and helpful. Highly recommend Assassins and Lauren!

From the moment I walked in, the whole crew was welcoming and professional. It is the cleanest tattoo shop Ive been to. I got my nose pierced by Lauren. She walked me through the steps, and was a very calming presence. I love the placement, and its healing great! Today, I came back to get an anchor tattoo by Paul. He drew up the perfect tattoo, his lines are clean, and his shading was awesome. He was super chill, played good music, and was finished in no time.

I’ve been both tattooed here & pierced by Lauren. The studio is gorgeous! Super comfortable and welcoming, while being clean and professional. Lauren did a fantastic job with my piercings (bridge and nipples) and also did my friends nostril & navel. She explained the process as she did everything & gave thorough aftercare instructions. She made the process super easy and comfortable. I highly recommend being pierced by Lauren! The tattooists are super talented also, and I enjoy that they often have flash or walk-in availability

Me and my cousin got our first tattoos and did a walk in. The guy at the counter was very understanding and wanted to help us understand any questions we had! The lady that did our tattoo was extremely patient and was very understanding and talkative with us and helped us through the experience! Me and my cousin got a tiny simple tattoo but it was a good experience and at the end even gave us a little kit with instructions for after care of the film removal!! definitely recommend!!

Review №48

The guy did NOT make me feel welcomed at all. Firs off all when me and my husband first walked in there were 3 other people at the desk talking with the guy who barely helped me but then theu scatter when we come in. He didnt even want to see if one of their tattoo artist that was available that day could draw up what I wanted and do it. What I was asking for was something VERY simple but he made it seem like no one there at that time could do it or had the talent to it but they are artist and the tattoo I wanted was SIMPLE! The guy also stated only one person in the WHOLE building who would be gone for a few weeks could do what I wanted but that was not even believable. I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN or refer anyone there!

Came in with a family of 9 all getting the same matching XOXO on our wrist... Eric helped us get a time set the same day for 6 of us while our artist Matt was super calm with us crowding their studio. They were extremely patient and respectful with our large group and Matt did great work! They also were very good at working with first timers as more than half of our group had never gotten a tattoo before. Will definitely be coming back soon for the 3 of us who couldnt get ours done that day and will definitely recommend them to others looking to get work done as well.

I was here recently with one of my friends, and we were walk-ins. there was one lady that got there before us, but we barely waited an hour! once she was done, Dylan did our tattoos (thanks Dylan we love them!!!!). he was so chill and very kind to us. very clean space and professional. everyone here is beyond kind and it’s a great experience. i’ll definitely be coming back for more tattoos here and wouldn’t want to give my business to any other shop because Assassin is so great!

My husband just had a tattoo today (4/5/21) with their artist Bellamy. She was professional, easy to talk to and quick! She did an amazing job with the after care instruction & plain and simple she’s an amazing artist. The whole staff was friendly and the shop was clean. We were greeted at the door with a kind approach and they were super quick getting us back to his appointment! I would highly recommend this shop to ANYONE.

I’ve been searching for someone to do my tattoos for a while now. I moved to the area about two years ago and have had little to no luck. I finally stopped in one day to get a consultation and was very pleased. The staff was super cool and friendly. I was set up with Eliza Gonzalez and was instantly ecstatic after seeing her work on Instagram. Scheduling was super quick and easy as well. Eliza blew me out of the water with the drawing she did for the tattoo and made the process super easy for me. An artist named Conner was also around while I was getting tattooed, his positivity really lifted any nervousness from me. My tattoo came out absolutely perfect and I was on my way. I’ll definitely be going back to this shop for any future work I want done.

I started coming to Assassins Tattoo last summer and had work done by Jesse Keller! I was so happy and satisfied with his work that I went back for a second time. I just met with him last week and planned out my next 5 tattoos to get this year and I couldn’t be more stoked! His line work is impeccable, stippling and shading are my favorite, super creative- I love his ideas and perspectives. He makes every tattoo unique and individual, and is light handed and it makes such a difference. On top of all of that he is totally personable, easy going, and all around a solid dude. Highly recommend!

I had dermal anchors placed by Lauren. The shop is very clean. Lauren Is very professional and knowledgeable and makes you feel safe/comfortable. She explains everything before doing it and makes sure you know you can change your mind at any time without judgment which is very important to me, personally. I would definitely return here for another piercing.

I just got one of the best pieces done on my body to date of a large yellow Rose on my neck by Monti! Everyone in the shop was super friendly and welcoming. It was clean and tidy with a lovely atmosphere. Monti did an amazing job and he is quite friendly, hard working, and knowledgeable. I had no issue going into this tattoo because he knew his stuff. I cant wait to go back again sometime soon and see them all again. It was a fantastic experience. If you want quality art in this area of Ohio definitely check assassin out. Especially Monti!

Josh did mine and my whole friend groups tattoo this past Saturday and we are all more than satisfied!

I always knew that I wanted a tattoo but at the same time the thought of it made me nervous. It was a process for me to find someone that i trusted enough to put the artwork that i wanted tattooed on me. Once i met Matt i felt very comfortable about the whole experience. I could tell he was very passionate and detail oriented about the work that he does. He was great to work with, and i would recommend him to anyone that is in the same position as i was! My tattoo looks great, thank you so much Matt!! You are awesome at what you do.

I noticed Paul Jamisons work on Instagram and reached out to connect with him. He was very responsive and we setup a consultation for a week later. After getting an idea of what I was looking for Paul scheduled an appointment with me and went to work on a design. Come the day of the appointment he had an AMAZING design ready for me. This is my favorite tattoo and I will definitely be back to see Paul again soon!

I would absolutely recommend this shop to someone considering getting a tattoo. Having never been there, I didn’t know what to expect upon walking in but ended up being blown away with the artists there. I was tattooed by Connor Cray and found myself insanely impressed by his level of skill and cleanliness. I was a bit nervous going in, but with his reassurance and light handedness, I had an easy time getting through it! I’ll definitely be back and send my friends to him as well!

Worked with Andy Bagley to have him put my vague vision into an actual design—and he absolutely crushed it. Andy was very helpful, open, and enthusiastic about the project. His design, totally bespoke, captured everything I wanted. On the day of the tattoo, Andy was well prepared and extremely professional. He was diligent, detailed, and had no issue if I needed to take a short break. I think the tattoo turned out phenomenal, and if I decide to get more in the near future, I’ll certainly return to Assassin and probably my man Andy!

Sure its a tattoo shop, but I went for a piercing. Quick work, informative... Id definitely recommend. And from the tattoo work I saw (in shop and at a recent convention), all the artists are fantastic. Everyone is really friendly too. Plus, its a convenient location with plenty of parking.

Review №78

For a tattoo shop that is a little hidden, it was amazing to find this hidden treasure of a place. The artists really make your experience fun and chill, which all together makes this one of a kind. They take their time and want the final look to be amazing, and TRUST ME... They will NOT disappoint you. Matt was a hell of a guy with my walk-in that turned into a 4 hour session, and it was worth every minute and penny that I put forth. It’s was a wonderful experience overall and I will not go anywhere else.

My first time experience with the staff at Assassin was outstanding from start to finish. Having a strong interest in traditional work, I enjoy following a variety of artists via their instagram accounts. I reached out to Paul Jamison and had a couple of ideas in mind. He fit me in, on a Saturday none the less.I viewed some work, we worked together to find the right fit and concept. My experience was nothing short of exceptional from the moment I walked into the shop. Thank to all, much appreciated. Go follow Paul Jamison over on his IG page. Thanks again. 👊

I’ve been to Assassin several times for tattoos and for a septum piercing. The piercer, Lauren, is professional and made sure I felt super comfortable and confident about something I’d initially been nervous about. Rich gave me one of my favorite tattoos and every time I go there, I receive excellent care & services. I recommend Assassin to all of my friends for their tattoo & piercing needs!

Review №84

I absolutely love my tattoo!! I highly recommend Matt Silcox! I got a memorial piece for my sister that passed away, so it’s very meaningful & special. I was super excited to get it done!! He was very friendly, efficient & quick! The only reason I’m giving a 4 star review is because of this guy, Steve, who “greeted” us at the front desk. He got very rude & snippy with my husband & seemed like he was annoyed & had no interest in waiting on us. We had heard all good things about Assassin Tattoo so we were both kind of surprised by how he was being. We were about 2 seconds away from leaving because of the bad first impression. I’m so glad we didn’t because Matt & everybody else were great & his work was awesome!

If you’re looking for a great tattoo shop, this is it. I have driven an hour to go here rather than the 20 minutes it takes to get to shops near me. Jesse Keller has done a couple tattoos for me over the years and I like his work best out of the artists I’ve been tattooed by. He’s very likable, easy to work with, and takes all of your ideas into consideration. He does his absolute best to give you the tattoo you were looking for. He doesn’t rush your tattoo to get as many clients in as he can like some artists I know, he makes sure it’s done right. His artwork is beautiful, original, and clean. You’ll leave loving your new tattoo!

Man..I had one tattoo that needed fixed bad. He did not disappoint when he fixed it. I thought it was not fixable. Not only did it get fixed but the tattoo ended up looking like it was never messed up in the first place. I will only go here from now on! Their sister shop “black tooth” is 🔥🔥 also! Check them out! Super clean and professional!

I came to Assassin Tattoo Studio when Jesse Keller started working as an artist for them. I have nearly a full sleeve done by Jesse, as well as multiple random tattoos. He is absolutely amazing and always makes getting a tattoo a great time. Lots of upbeat, fun vibes to offset the wonderful feeling of being stabbed with multiple needles for hours on end! The shop has always been clean, sanitary, well-maintained in appearance, and everyone has always had a very welcoming and awesome attitude. Whether its your first tattoo or your last blank space on your body, you 10000% cannot go wrong with Jesse Keller and Assassin Tattoo Studio!

I got my first tattoo at Assassin’s from Sara about two months ago. She was super nice and explained everything while she did it and the small rose was beautiful. After I decided to get another, I made another appointment with Sara! The piece is absolutely beautiful and I could not ask for a better tattoo artist! Assassin’s is very professional, has a nice shop, and fair prices. Will definitely be coming here again in the future!

Keep rocking it out Jesse can’t wait for my next one ❤️

Review №90

I called while driving to this place to see if they had any nose jewelry and if I could get a septum piercing changed. I was told they did have nose jewelry and that I could come in. I said I would be there in about 10-15 minutes. The guy who answered the phone said “right on”. When I got there, I was told that they would try to get me in before 2 piercings the piercer had to do. That didn’t happen and I had to wait until the piercings were done. Totally understandable since they probably had appointments! I waited 45 minutes.While I was waiting, I was sitting next to 2 young women wanting small arm/wrist tattoos. I believe it was 3 numbers in a plain font. They were brought a print out of what the numbers would look like and one of the clients said they were looking for a slightly different look to the font. I think they said they wanted “feet” on the letters. As he was walking out to make those adjustments, the guy (I don’t remember his name - beard, works the front desk) said “yeah it’ll be a little more but I can do that.” Then when they later questioned him about this increase, he said something like, “oh I didn’t say how much it would be before, but it’ll be like $100 each. I was thinking $90 before.” So these young women were charged $100 *each* for 3 small numbers tattooed on their wrists. That is unacceptable. I understand having a minimum, but that is a scam. I really wanted to say something to them in the moment, but I didn’t. I wish I had because I probably would have saved myself an hour of my time and $22.99 😬When I went back, the only septum jewelry horseshoe pieces available were basic gold, black, and silver pieces. I also wanted to purchase a nostril stud, but there were none in my gauge (18g) other than 1 corkscrew with a silver ball. I was told the jewelry would be $20 each so I opted to buy a basic septum horseshoe since I had waited 45 minutes and didn’t want to leave empty handed, but I passed on the corkscrew.When I went to pay, I was told it would be $20 and at that point, was told they are a cash only facility. I was charged a $2.99 transaction fee. I did not see on their website they are cash only and I was not told this on the phone or when I got there. Most places at least accept Venmo or other forms of payment and it’s really shady that you don’t make it *very* clear that you are cash only, especially when it is so rare. I also saw other individuals using the ATM while I was there so I’m assuming this is a little known fact.I was here for an *hour* to get jewelry and a septum piercing changed. The piercer was a gem and so nice to talk to, but this was such a shady experience. I’d rather make the drive to go somewhere else from now on.

Jesse is a great tattoo artist and a great dude overall. He did a half sleeve for me last year and it was a great drawing and very well done. The tattoo healed very quickly and really well. The price was more than fair for the quality of work.

Shaun Connolly is amazing. The only person Ive let tattoo me since my first appointment with him over 3 years ago... If you want your skin left with something amazing and no fear that you are in great hands then he is your man! Also hes hella funny when youll have a great time while youre at the shop!

I’ve gotten several pieces done by Monti! Each piece has exceeded my expectations. He’s very knowledgeable about colors and placement and his art is very unique and hard to come by so finding him was a gem! The experience each time was always very enjoyable! Monti always keeps me comfortable and we always have great conversations with a lot of laughs! I recommend him and Assassin to anyone who asks me!

Review №94

A COMPLETE WASTE OF MY TIME!!! This is exactly why people are nervous and intimidated by tattoo artists and shops!!!!I called and spoke to the woman that answered the phone at Assassin Tattoo Studio. I explained my situation and told her that I was from out of town but heard great things about the studio and wanted to come in for a consultation to start my half sleeve. She seemed annoyed from the very beginning of the conversation. She explain that I would need to come in and sit down with an artist for a consultation first before going into such a big piece. Completely Understandable! I then asked her if today would be a good day to come or if I needed to set up an appointment to have the consultation. She said no need for an appointment you can just walk in for your consultation. I said great I’m on my way, I’ll see you soon. I drove 2 1/2 hours to get to the shop. When I walked in and explained why I was there she was even more rude in person. Told me there wasn’t anyone in this shop that could “match” my other tattoos. I specifically told her it didn’t have to be the same style. As soon as I said that she took that as an opportunity to show me how knowledgeable she was about all the different styles and completely put me down for not knowing as much as she does apparently. She then told me about another artist that worked in a different shop gave me a card didn’t write his name on it or anything. It was completely obvious she wanted to get me out of that shop as quickly as possible. So now I’m in Akron, 2 1/2 hours away from my house, not consulting anyone about my tattoo that I’ve researched and wanted for a very long time. What a complete let down

Got my first tattoo here and I was extremely nervous, but the tattoo artist who worked with me, Maddie, was very patient and reassuring. She also did a really amazing job and I am very happy with it and even a few months after there hasnt been any bleeding of the line work or fading anywhere. If I decide to get another tattoo I will definitely be returning here.

This place is the real deal. Jesse took real good care of me. He was very ptaient and explained the process and answered all of my many many questions.

Great experience getting my first tattoo. Highly recommend my artist Eliza; she guided me through the process. The banter itself was basically like going to a comedy club.

Visiting assassin tattoo is always a good time. The place is clean and looks great with friendly people. Jesse Keller has done transformer tattoos on me and my family and they all turned out great.

I will never go to another tattoo parlor again. I love Assassins, it is super clean, friendly and a fun environment. Also I love my tattoo artist Jesse Keller,everytime someone shes my tattoo for the first time. They always say how clean Jesses line work and shading is so clean.

I cannot recommend Jesse Keller at Assassin Tattoo enough. Ive been getting original work from him for years and not only is he prompt, he does an amazing job bringing my ideas to life.

Review №110

I got a very simple memorial tattoo here as my first tattoo some years ago. My consultation was with someone friendly and personable, but unfortunately when I came back, the gentleman that did the tattoo was unpleasant and very judgmental. I have so much regret that at such a young age I paid for toxic male masculinity and condescension instead of art that I would cherish forever. He did fine on the mechanics of the tattoo, which I would expect considering what I paid and the fact that it was an exact copy of a printed signature. I never went back to have the tattoo retraced, and though I feel sad watching it fade, I feel firm in the decision to never return to this business.

Review №111

Conner was my artist, and let me tell you. This man was the MOST understanding and patient artist I have ever met. I’m quite an indecisive person and he just calmly worked with me and made sure I was 100% on board with the whole design. Not to mention, he makes you feel very comfortable during the tattoo. He’s so goofy and never runs out of things to talk about. I HIGHLY recommend conner, plus, his work is one of a kind and it’s unimaginably amazing!

Review №112

Let me start by saying that this isnt a bad review about bad art or artists, its more a review about how they must run things! I was very excited to meet any of the artists here but unfortunately nobody bothered to return my call, I left 4 messages, along with messages on Facebook messenger, and nothing. I completely understand that they are busy artists etc but youd think with as busy they are, theyd have someone who fields their calls and sets up appointments for them or even just to say hey we are sorry that we havent gotten back to you.... its a shame, which Im sure you will care less but I wanted a back piece, which Im sure wouldve made one of you some pretty decent money, not to mention it wouldve been a challenge to tie it in with my other tattoo. I wanted to this review in the hopes that theyd get this oversight changed!!!!

Ive known Conner for many years. Hes done a total of 10 tattoos for me and Im beyond impressed with the results.

Very well lit, and inviting, and safe neighborhood.

Review №129

This is my first time every getting a tattoo! What I can tell you is that the experience that I had was the best!!! I been wanting a tattoo for about a few years ago and I backed out. Now that I finally decided to get one. It was hard to find a great artist whose communication is great as Rich. I reached out to other artists and their means of communication was not the best. When I reached out to Rich from my best friends whom received tattoos by him, he instantly responded to me. We talked about Koi fish tattoos and came up with a game plan. When he drew his sketch up to me, it blew my mind. It was what I visualized, but to a whole new level. Took what I wanted and well exceeded my expectation. Don’t get me wrong, I was so nervous getting my tattoo because of how the pain and how it will turn out. Rich made me feel comfortable through the whole process from beginning to end. He is very humble, he is a perfectionist, pay VERY close attention to detail, friendly, hard working, and overall just a very great person. His shop is very clean, his tools, and when changing needles, gloves, sanitary of his room, and more!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RICH! He is the owner and he will not let you down. He is the man!!! 10/10!!! Thank you for taking great care of my first tattoo!

My tattoos always turn out great amazing line work and the shading and detail is the best thing ever.

I call a couple days before I went and the lady in the phone and she told I couldn’t set an appointment without them seeing the tattoo that I wanted. Than I went and I sat there for 15 minutes waiting for them to tell me that I can’t get my tattoo because I’m not 18 even tho I have my mother with me. And my cousin went in a couple weeks before that and his mom and my little sister and when he went in the decided to offer my 15 year old sister a tattoo but couldn’t give me me mine only a couple weeks after that. They were also perfectly fine when I came only asking ab it. A suggestion to the person that answers the phone make sure you tell people your age policy before wasting they’re time

If you are looking for quality ink and talented artists. Assassins Tattoo Studio should be one of the ONLY places you should consider.The individuals that work here are professional, polite, deligent and more than likely will make your experience a fun one. Laughing to the point where you will have a hard time holding still for them (thats if you dont have a dry sense of humor.) I recently just finished a full sleeve with Jesse. Highly recommend.However, the several sessions needed to complete my sleeve. Watching other clients getting tattooed... In my opinion, you can not go wrong with any of the individuals that are part of the Assassins Crew. Needless to say, these individuals are artists in every sense of the word. Give them an idea, freedom and most importantly some trust. You will not be disappointed.

Assassin is, handsdown, the best tattoo shop to go to if youre looking for quality and fairly priced art. I have been coming to Assassin for 3 years, and have been getting tattooed by Jesse Keller for 4 years. Jesse is an exceptional artist who you can confidently go to with an idea, and he will take that idea and create art. I have gotten 3 of my largest pieces done by Jesse all 6 hours or more, and he makes it so you dont feel like youre just getting stabbed by needles for hours. He always makes sure his clients are comfortable and makes good conversation to keep stress level down and help time pass. Hes my go to. I reccomend him to every person who asks about my tattoos. 10/10 do reccomend 👌

Im getting a half sleeve cover up done by Jesse and it is amazing work! He designed an original piece to cover up all of my old tribal. I cant wait to get more work done there. The place is very clean and the staff is awsome. Go see Jesse for awsome artwork!

A VERY clean and professional shop with a great atmosphere and good tunes. Owner Rich Griggs does AMAZING work. Hes done most of the work on my body, and he just keeps getting better every time. If you want an awesome tattoo, hes the guy to see. Tell him KJ sent you.

Shaun did my mothers tattoo. The second tattoo shes ever had. He was very patient with her, making her laugh and feel comfortable during the tattoo process. Shes extremely happy with her tattoo. Shaun is definitely her artist for life. ❤️

Nice, cool shop with a laid back atmosphere and amazing artists. Ive never seen a bad piece come out of Assasins. Highly recommend Rich or Monti, but literally every person there does great work.

My best friend and I got tattoos here yesterday and not only did we get beautiful quality tattoos, but there was a lot of laughs, serenading, and was overall a good time.I will definitely be returning in the future!

Tatoo ended up having to be shaded in due to artist being unable to make a straight triangle. Artist dug which resulted in longer healing.

The artists at Assassin are always very professional, and they treat their employees with the utmost respect. Jesse Keller always does an amazing job with my tattoos and would highly recommend going to him for your ink!

I made several calls to the shop, that were answered by different people who all sounded annoyed and were short on the pphone.Had my septum peirced by the apprentice, that came out crooked and the process was painful from beginning to end (Ive had several peircings in the past that have gone much smoother at other shops.)She felt badly about my experience and let me leave without paying and told me I could come back and get it re-peirced by her boss.I called the shop for Shannon ( the main peircer) two weeks in a row asking when I could come in. Over several phone calls I was never able to get ahold of Shannon or get a clear answer on what day she would be working. Said she would maybe be in on Wednesay, called on Wednesday and shes not there. I asked when she would be there and the only response I get is idk.Would not recommend for peircings qt all.

I want to just say Shaun Connolly has been my artist for years. his talent and love for what he does blows my mind every time i give him one of my crazy ideas. he gets my crazy, my obsession with lyrics and my love for metaphors. as long as you keep him at Assasin, i will always come and i will always refer every friend who asks where i get my ink. Thank you Shaun for always being you and honing in on your craft. you are my favorite.

Another Tattoo shop that the owner is way to cool to interact with normal people because ya know he’s a rock star. Work was ok but I’m not in love with it nor the absolute misdirection I was feed . Not to mention really overpriced & overhyped
