Black Amethyst Tattoo Company Akron

Ive had both of my major tattoos done by Ireland and let me say it was one of my favorite experiences!!She was very kind and understanding about my pain tolerance and allowed me to take breaks when needed, along with helping me with anything I needed or questions I had. She provided me with great aftercare advice and was so very kind while I was in her chair. Not only that, but the place in general is comfortable and welcoming for everyone!Both tattoos healed up wonderfully and when I get the money Ill definitely be coming back for more, with none other than Ireland herself!

I had the pleasure of getting tattooed by Sadie this past weekend. After some miscommunication in the booking process, Sadie and Hailey went above and beyond to turn my experience around and take accountability for the miscommunication. What I ended up with exceeded all of my expectations. Sadie was friendly, offered plenty of breaks and snacks, ensured that I was comfortable. I truly felt comfortable in the studio. It was very clean and the decor was really cool. My tattoo is incredible and I am so grateful to the staff at Black Amethyst. I am forever with a work of art and I hope to have more positive future experiences with this shop.

Very disappointed that Erica said she would reopen her books on 8/15 and she did not. She originally opened them on 8/1 for flash, then decided they were open for everything. She told a client she would still open them on 8/15. Bad business practice to change what you promised to a client. I have heard from another artists that they are mean to work for. Love the work, hate how unorganized this practice is. My first tattoo here was a decent experience, but as time goes on they are not consistent with customer service. They also never tattoo men, I’m pretty sure they aren’t even willing to book them.

I absolutely love this tattoo shop! I felt so comfortable and welcomed and everyone there was very friendly. I was tattooed by Sadie and her work is very clean and pretty. I absolutely love my butterflies and i am really happy with them. She was also very sweet and easy to talk to.

I absolutely love this shop. I feel incredibly welcomed and safe. I personally have gone to Ireland for 4 sessions already and going in for my 5th session soon! Her work is amazing and she just makes the tattoo experience amazing. I love her personally and passion for not only her work, but for the shop. Ireland is one of the most talented and caring tattoo artists out there! If I have any issue, question or concern, no matter how small, I feel more then comfortable and confident to contact Ireland. Knowing that I will not only get the answers I need, but will get them with no judgement and all the reassurance and advice needed. If you go to this shop, I highly recommend Ireland. This shop is also extremely clean and cozy! ❤️

Every person in this shop goes above and beyond to make sure you are getting the correct service you need! I have gotten multiple tattoos in this establishment and the the inclusiveness they have for everyone is amazing! I would highly recommend this shop

Sadie was amazing! She was quick and precise. My tattoo healed up great and I have an appointment to go back in February. 10/10 would highly recommend Sadie, and the Black Amethyst shop!

Sadie Winters did my tattoo. She was AMAZING and a very kind person. The vibes were impeccable. I was nervous to get a tattoo after bad previous experiences but Sadie and the girls at Black Amethyst put that out of my mind! They all were so kind and I am so excited to find a new tattoo shop where I feel safe!

Ireland Bower at Black Amethyst has done several pieces for me. Not only is the shop a super relaxing funky place but everyone there is inviting, friendly and chill. Ireland is super talented with crisp line work and attention to ALLLL the details. I recently made the mistake of going to a new artist elsewhere because they were running a sale and booyyyy was that a mistake. A lifelong mistake! SMH. Ill go back to Ireland now, forever and always.Absolutely hands down my favorite work on my body is all done by Ireland. Theyre gorgeous. Thanks Ireland!! 😊 🖤

Firstly, I have done four of my five tattoos all here at Black Amethyst, and I absolutely love this tattoo shop. I recommend all artists there, but especially Ireland Bower, Avery, Erica, and Rachel. They do amazing work!My most recent tattoo was done by Ireland, who gave me a beautiful moth with roses forearm tattoo. During the tattoo, she was very patient and happily talkative. I loved chatting with her and would love to come back for another tattoo in the future. Perhaps to fill up my arm, that will one day be a sleeve! There was a minor blowout in the ditch of my arm, but she was fast to offer a solution!

I was able to get tattooed by Sadie, along with my sister-in-love. Sadie had a black Friday gift certificate sale and we were able to both use that to get tattooed which was awesome. I got a larger thigh piece, first one in that spot and she did just a great job with size and placement and really made me love it! I wanted a combination of 2 of her flash designs and she brought them together so well and I am obsessed with this tattoo. My sister-in-love got matching fairy girls on her wrist and hand and was so happy with the placement, it quickly led to future hand tattoos! We loved our experience and the vibe of Black Amethyst Tattoo. I follow Sadie and the shop and a few others from the shop on Instagram, I love seeing their art on others and updated flash, and I will certainly return and recommend them anytime.I will say in full transparency, I wrote this review for a chance to win a flash tattoo.. I never write reviews for places cause Im lazy and I forget, but if Im gonna take the time to do it, it will be honest and thoughtful! And I really did love my experience and my tattoo and continue to love it and the way it empowers me and my body image. And if this review can encourage someone to find their new safe space and get beautiful art by trusted nondiscriminatory ladies, then I hope it does!

Just left my appointment with Sadie a few hours ago, had the best experience! Sadie was super easy to work with and easy to talk to. The atmosphere was very welcoming clean. Can’t wait to go back to her!

Ive had three tattoos done by Sadie and her work is impeccable! I love her girly cute tattoo style, its hard to find a feminine tattoo artist in the Akron area. Sadie is very easy to book with too. She also tattoos very fast and I dont know if I feel that way because I havent had any very large pieces done by her, but it feels like 5 minutes of tattooing. (I hate when artists take their sweet time dragging the needle through your skin). As for the shop, I love the vibes. The shop has a very friendly and welcoming environment, which is a huge shift from most tattoo shops Ive visited. If I could give a 6/5 star I would-- I cannot recommend this shop enough and I will continue to have my tattoos done by Sadie, as shes the best!!

My first tattoo experience was with Sadie at Black Amethyst. I drove an hour and a half for this appointment and it was well worth it!! Sadie was professional, kind, and exceeded my expectations. She created two designs for me and I absolutely love them. It was such a great experience, I booked again as soon as I could! She quickly responded to my questions about aftercare as well. Looking forward to many more pieces of art by Sadie! 🌸

Been to this shop 5 times, have gotten tattooed by multiple people and find myself continuously wanting to come back. I have 3 pieces from Sadie and love each one. I feel extremely comfortable in this shop and feel connected not only with the person doing my tattoo but everyone else there as well. every tattoo artist is constantly checking up on you to make sure you’re comfortable. i was offered alternative seating to make sure i was as comfortable and confident as possible. would recommend this shop over and over and over again to so many people.

I am absolutely in love with my tattoo that I had done by Ireland back in November! She is an amazing artist and her and the shop create a very safe and welcoming atmosphere. Ireland was great about walking through the different stages of the tattooing process, as well as making sure if I felt comfortable throughout or if I needed to take a break. 100% recommend Ireland and will definitely be going back again for another!

My artist, Sadie, was absolutely wonderful. Not only did she deliver above and beyond my hopes with the art and the crispness of her work but she was kind and accommodating throughout. The shop is beautiful and comfortable and I would absolutely recommend this studio and artist not only for your first tattoo, but for any. (Tattoo Healed 4 Months)

I had such a wonderful experience getting tattooed by Slinkii in June of last year! the folks that work here create such a welcoming environment, and the vibes are just the best. as someone that struggles with social anxiety, it really means a lot when genuine care and consideration are present so clients feel comfortable and safe. plus, Slinkii’s artwork is just gorgeous, and i’m so grateful to be able to display it forever 💖

Working with the staff at Black Amethyst was wonderful from first contact through leaving with my gorgeous tattoo. Ireland designed exactly what I was looking for. She altered the design to cover scars I have from a dog attack. Her line work was amazing as was her color. She checked in regularly with me as I do have some nerve damage that can be very painful. My wife was so pleased she booked with Ireland right then and there.The studio is an absolute safe space for queer folks.

Ireland was amazing from conception of my piece of art to completion. She took my vision and made it come to life!! She took her time and gave professional advice when needed. Would go back in a heartbeat!!

Found this shop a year ago and have now had 5 tattoos done here. Sadie really helped me, I have scars on my arms and was getting married and she covered them up and made me feel confident on my big day. Peep both arms and the leg.

I have had my last 2 tattoos done by Ireland, and its been the best experience ever! She is so reassuring and accommodating. She hypes up every tattoo like its her favorite one shes ever done. Ireland (and the rest of the staff!) make the whole experience so comfortable and welcoming. All of the tattoos have healed really well, and Im beyond happy to have my third done later this month!

I absolutely LOVE this tattoo shop. I will not go anywhere else. I have never felt so welcomed and comfortable before in a tattoo space or with an artist. Sadie has done such an incredible job and always answers any questions I may have. She is able to take my poor descriptions and ideas and turn them into art. I cannot recommend enough!

Sadie did the most beautiful floral wrap on my forearm that I’m completely obsessed with. I’m still pretty new to tattoos and this was the biggest one I’ve gotten so far, but she was great about answering any questions I had and repositioning things to make sure it looked just right. She was also really fast and her line work turned out so lovely! Many of my friends recommend her also, and I will absolutely be going back again to get more art from her!

I had a tattoo done by Sadie back in October and had an amazing experience! She was very welcoming and easy to talk to. She is an amazing artist and I love everything she creates.

Avery was the one to do my tattoo! She was amazing and so nice and friendly. I would highly recommend booking her if you want any floral work! The atmosphere at Black Amethyst was very cozy and inviting as well! Perfect place to get your tattoos for sure!

I went to Slinkii when she was just starting out as an apprentice and she did an incredible job on my piece. She makes you feel comfortable and at ease while telling you her life stories. I loved my piece so much that I’ve gone back to her and she’s done 3 other tattoos for me. I will continue to go back to her because she is amazing!

Fire tattoo, fire vibes. I received two tattoos from Erica in a month because I loved the vibe and how inclusive the environment is. They really care about being trauma informed, as well :) Ill be back and will send all to black amethyst

I got my first tattoo done at this location by Corina. The location was awesome and as for Corina I cannot say enough about !! She knew it was my first tattoo so she took time to explain everything she also is very light handed so I barely felt anything. She talked to us while working and made sure we felt comfortable the whole time. I struggle with anxiety and sometimes will not talk much or become akward as all get out but this place I felt comfortable the whole entire time.I cannot draw to save my life but I knew the idea of what I wanted I explained it in my email and what Corina drew up was what I wanted and more with so much meaning into it than I could have ever thought upI loved everything about this place and my artist and already wanting to get another ink with themIf your looking for a very welcoming non judgmental feeling environment this is def the spot !!

Ireland Bower is such an amazing and personable artist! She really takes the time to work with her clients to make sure they get the best possible design and experience. She spent at least 30 minutes going over various fonts with me and even took the time to combine 2 seperate fonts for me. I love my tattoos from her and plan to continue to go to her for more tattoos. I highly recommend Ireland to anyone interested in getting tattooed at Black Amethyst!!

Got a tattoo done by Sadie. She was great! Im absolutely in love with my tattoo. The vibe of the shop made me so comfortable. Definitely the first place I book my tattoos now.

I decided to go to Black Amethyst after being a friend told me about them after finding them on TikTok. Sadie did a handwriting tattoo of my late grandmother on May 2nd, my first tattoo (will not be my last) and I couldnt be happier. The shop has a welcoming vibe the minute you walk in and I immediately felt at ease. They are often booked out a ways but it is totally worth it!! I will definitely be back. It has also healed very well ^_^

Sadie did an absolute amazing job on my tattoo. I get so many compliments on how great it looks and where I got it from. Definitely will be scheduling again in near future to.get another another one. She was very professional an just the sweetest

I visited Black Amethyst for the first time back in August to see Sadie. It can be nerve-racking going to a new tattoo shop but everyone made me feel very welcomed! The environment is laid back and the artists are so kind. I cant recommend Sadie enough! I always have a great time and looove her artwork! I will definitely keep coming back to Black Amethyst!

@bower.tattoos has done several of my tattoos and I couldn’t ask for a better artist! Her work speaks for itself and every piece of art she tattoos is truly a testament to how beautiful of a soul Ireland is! My beautiful tattoos mean even more to me because of the wonderful friendship I have with her. You can’t get that from every shop but the ladies at Black Amethyst Tattoo Company absolutely do every time!

Ive gotten 5 tattoos done by Sadie and they are all so incredible!! Genuinely one of the best tattoo artists Ive ever encountered, and so sweet too. The shop is so comfy and everyone is amazing!!

I’ve been tattooed twice at Black Amethyst by 2 different artists (Corinna and Slinkii). Both experiences were amazing. The shop is inviting, safe and comfortable. Everyone is so friendly and cheers each other on. Both of the artists I’ve gotten tattoos from provided excellent designs based on my limited direction and amazing finished products. Def recommend this shop and artists to anyone who asks.

Erica is a phenomenal artist! She has done all of my tattoos and I can’t wait to get more! I am complimented constantly on the line work and bright color ❤️ Highly recommend her or if she’s unavailable her staff does incredible work too!

I was tattooed by Slinki as an apprentice and she did a fantastic job! I got a beautiful piece for my son and she did really well with it. The atmosphere of the shop is welcoming and all of the ladies that work here are phenomenal. Will definitely be back!

Amazing job by Erica! I gave her my thoughts and she made them happen. I highly recommend her and the shop in general. I have never felt so comfortable in a tattoo shop before and I have several tattoos. I will be a repeat client as long as Erica and her amazing team are there!

I have gotten three tattoos from Ireland and she does OUTSTANDING work! She’s even completely redrew a tattoo for me when I wasn’t thrilled with the original one she showed me. She is also so very personable and sweet. I look forward to having more work done by Ireland in the future.

I was super super excited about coming to them. I walked in and immediately felt comfortable in there. All of the artists were very nice and made conversation with me. The artist I had, Corina, was so amazing. She showed me the design she made for me and I loved it, no tweaks or anything, perfect. She made me feel very comfortable and talked to me a lot during the whole process. I will definitely be back to see her.

I have ~15 (probably more?) tattoos from Sadie. I love going to different artists for a variety of work, but Sadie is the only artist I’ve consistently gone back to for the past couple of years. I love this shop and I love Sadie’s work. She’s talented, consistent, friendly, and responsive—I couldn’t ask for anything more!!

Absolutely love this place and the people here! Ireland did a tattoo for me, my sibling, and my mom-a beautiful tattoo and she gave us a wonderful experience. Everybody Ive met at the shop makes such an effort to be welcoming and create a comfortable environment; I cant wait to come back for more!

The artist I had was Slinkii, she was AMAZING. Her and I talked and got to know each other and she made sure I was comfortable the whole time. I plan on making another appointment with her in the next few weeks. The shop is clean, the music is great, and everyone is super friendly!

I was tattooed by Erica and the experience was incredible! The vibes in the shop are so comforting and unique. I’ve been to several tattoo studios where artists are unprofessional or unwelcoming, so Black Amethyst was a breath of fresh air. My tattoo looks amazing and I felt so comfortable the whole time. I cannot thank Erica enough for her incredible work!!

Genuinely such a safe and comfortable environment to get tattooed at. I’ve been a couple times and always feel great and respected while there. Most recently Sadie brought my lil pet rats back to life in a beautiful piece ❤️ I recommend black amethyst to everyone I know!

I’ve been tattooed by multiple artists at Black Amethyst! I have loved all of their work. I most recently worked with Sadie on a floral tattoo. I am in love with my tattoo & I’ve always had a great experience at the shop.

Multiple visits to this shop and 10/10 every time! Recently tattooed by @bower.tattoo (Ireland) and absolutely love her. She made sure I was comfortable the whole time, cooked up an awesome design, and did amazing work!

This place and the folks who run it are freaking rock stars! Erica Rose took my funky shoulder tattoo and turned it into something beautiful and Im so proud to be rocking her artwork! If youre looking for a groovy group of talented artists, this is definitely the tat shop to go to!

I got my first two tattoos last March and couldnt be happier for multiple reasons. The shop itself is extremely clean and friendly. Booking was easy and organized, communication was great. I had the privilege to work with Sadie and not only did she do great with the designs and tattoos but she was great to talk to and put my nerves about the whole process to rest. Would definitely recommend her!

I follow them on Instagram and I saw that Slinki was doing Pokémon tattoos, I knew I had to get one. I was originally wanting a Charmander tattoo, but it was claimed. So I asked if she could design a Charizard one. And she did! She did an amazing job! I’m so happy with my Charizard tattoo. It was worth every penny and I cannot wait to go back to get another one!

Found Sadie on TikTok and my daughter was immediately obsessed with her work. Made the 3 hr drive and let me tell you it was 100% worth it. The shop had a great vibe, and Sadie was awesome. The tattoo she did on my daughter was amazing, the attention to detail and her line work was outstanding. I’m sure we will make another 3 hr trip in the future for her next one.

Ireland has been my artist for my past 2 (soon to be 3) tattoos and she is AMAZING!!! She makes you feel so comfortable and creates a safe space. She will bring your vision to life, I highly recommend!!

I’ve gotten two tattoos from Avery and am so in love with both of them. her art is excellent and she works so efficiently- my 8-inch tall thigh piece only took her like 80 minutes total! and it looks absolutely perfect!the shop itself is so cute and comfortable as well, i just can’t say enough good things and hope to get tattooed by Avery again soon / try to book an appointment with another of the artists there.

I had an amazing tattoo experience with Ireland in December 2022. It was my first tattoo and I was a bit nervous, she eased any concerns or worries I had and talked me through the whole thing. It was a very meaningful tattoo for me and she drew a beautiful set of poppy flowers in honor of my grandfather! I am joyous looking at it everyday!

I’ve been tattooed by many artists here and I’ve never once had a bad experience. Every artist makes sure you are comfortable and love the work that is being put in you. I will always return to Ireland (bower.tattoos) as she finishes my sleeve that we started in the beginning of 2023 and then some more

Sadie did my tattoo and she was amazing. Her skills are awesome. I get compliments on my tattoo all the time. She does beautiful work. And she made me so comfortable. Everyone in the studio makes you feel comfortable from the minute you walk in. If you can please get a tattoo done here. Its worth it!

Sadie has done multiple tattoos of mine and always does an PHENOMENAL job! Her style of art is amazing and you can really see she cares for every piece she does. The vibe of the shop is always welcoming, friendly and clean. They really know how to make you feel comfortable. I will continue to go to Sadie for all of my tattoos!

I’ve been tattooed by Sadie multiple times and its always an amazing experience. She provides top customer service and has an amazing tattooing process. The atmosphere here is amazing and supportive.

Absolutely amazing experience here! The entire staff was so kind and the place itself is super cute and fun. I got tattooed by Ireland who did a phenomenal job. I love my new work so much and can’t wait to go back!

I got a tattoo done by Ireland (@bowers.tattoo) & I am so pleased with it!! She took my ideas & made it better than I could have imagined. Also she made me feel very comfortable, had a light hand, & completed the tattoo quickly! I hope to get more done by Ireland in the future

Firstly, this shop is so cool. Secondly, as a queer person I have never felt more comfortable in a public space than I did while I was in the chair here. Every single artist in this shop is incredibly talented and welcoming. Also, they’re all so fun.Now onto the artist I specifically worked with, Slinkii. Their art is incredible. They made me feel so welcome and at ease. Prior to my appointment with them I only had gotten one other tattoo fresh out of high school, a small all text piece, which pales in comparison of both size and detail to the piece Slinkii designed for me. From start to finish the entire process was enjoyable and chill. I’m so glad that after waiting 13 years to get another tattoo that I did so with Slinkii @ Black Amethyst. I cannot recommend Slinkii or this shop enough. I will definitely be returning soon!

Ireland gave me an amazing experience with my tattoo here. I have anxiety but she walked me through the whole process and made sure I loved the stencil before starting. I’m absolutely obsessed with my piece and I’m excited to come back for more!

I absolutely love going to Black Amethyst for tattoos and Sadie is by far one of my favorites! She created and amazing flower tattoo that I just had to have a d it turned out amazing!

Absolutely love this shop. Ireland did a great job on our tattoos really took the idea/design and made it even better than I could have dreamed. Truly such a great experience I got to share with my mother and sister, and I will cherish it always!!!

I went twice within a year and I have to say this is the best most welcoming and fun place to be. I drove 6 hours round trip to go here (twice!) and plan to keep going. The atmosphere is the best and all tattoo artists and staff are friendly. It honestly feels like hanging out with friends while getting beautiful art done! You can tell the passion they all have and there is a reason they are booking so far out.Sadie did my first tattoo and did an absolute wonderful job (during apprenticeship). Everyone that sees it compliments me on it and mention how it is very well made. I absolutely love it. And cant wait for my next appointment.Avery did my second one and also did an amazing job. She captured the different flowers and fireflies just perfectly. I love the pop of color the fireflies have. Definitely will schedule another appointment.Overall not enough words to say how glad I am I found them on my fyp on TikTok!

Sadie Winter did a large tattoo on my shoulder this past summer! She was so friendly and flexible when I requested a change to my design. It is definitely my favorite of all my tattoos. The shop was so welcoming, comfortable and clean!! I would love to go back to Sadie for another piece in the future!

What a great shop. I love that it is so inclusive and welcoming. I got tattooed by Sadie twice and will continue to go back. She was phenomenal. This is the only place I’ll go from now on.

I came in with a group for a tattoo with Slinkii. While it was nice of them to cut us a discount for our group, the tattoo was VERY painful, and it bled a lot more than even a 3 hour piece I got done. They continued without a break despite my pain, which made me shake and caused there to be unstraight lines in a completely line based tattoo, an issue no one else in my group had. I understand wanting to get through everyone in the group, but the experience just wasn’t very pleasant. I’m hoping as it ages it’ll spread some and you won’t be able to tell. For now it looks better from a distance.Besides that experience, I think the shop had very nice vibes all around. I could see myself going here, just with a different artist. That being said, Slinkii is still a good tattoo artist, just not the artist for me personally.

Sadie has done multiple tattoos for me and I’m incredibly happy every time I go! She is so talented, and her style of tattooing fits my aesthetic perfectly. The shop is beautifully maintained and each station is decorated showing the artists style and individuality. I will continue to go to Sadie and Black Amethyst for years to come!

I had my first appointment here with Avery! She was very sweet and a wonderful human. Theyre super talented and Im so lucky to have a piece of their art on my body! This was a 6 hour tattoo, and Im very pleased with the whole experience. They all apply to their shop values, and the bathroom is so full of loving messages. This is honestly the best tattoo experience Ive had. All the artists here are super talented, and Im looking forward to getting tattooed by all the artists here at some point! They also have one of those, get what you get machines, which is what I really want to do also at some point! Ive already had another tattoo appointment with Slinkii, so Im super excited to be coming back for that! ❤️

The shop as a whole is clean, nice, and makes it obvious that everyone is welcome. Slinkii is an amazing artist, I’m shocked that they are an apprentice! I’ll be coming here as much as I possibly can, it’s a great shop.

Slinkii is an amazing and skilled tattoo artist. I was in their chair for their first large coverup piece, and they NAILED IT!!! It was better than expected and now I have a badass leg piece instead of a reminder of my ex husband. I would go to them a million times over! Couldnt recommend them more. I felt comfortable almost instantly and you could tell Slinkii cared about my comfort, even tho I was a new client. 10/10 will always come back for more ink!

The team at Black Amethyst, Sadie in particular, made the experience here amazing. This is my largest tattoo, I was a little nervous at first, but I felt comfortable and safe during the entire appointment. Sadie created a custom piece that exceeded all expectations. Ive received so many compliments on my tattoo, I couldnt be happier!

I got tattooed by Slinkii and Sadie, they both made me feel extremely comfortable and less anxious about the whole process. They continuously made sure I was doing okay, which is really nice to have from an artist. I’ve been to Black Amethyst multiple times and will continue going back for all of my future tattoos. The vibes when walking into the shop are unmatched and I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an all women ran tattoo shop!

Got a tattoo from Sadie who was very accommodating with working around scheduling and did an amazing job. Shop was cute and clean. Would definitely go back

I switched from my usual tattoo shop to support a woman owned and operated shop.Artist ran late - 20 mins, no big deal. Upon her arrival, I waited an additional 75 minutes PAST my appointment time for her to begin. Her sketch wasn’t really close to what I had wanted (sent in reference photos, as requested), she had no idea I asked for color, and continued to take long breaks during my small (although I asked for larger) tattoo. Just all around unprofessional experience. It turned out well enough, but the lack of professionalism and consideration totally turned me off to future patronage. Artist was Rachel.(tattooed late May 2023, elbow)

I had my tattoo by Ireland done at another shop in Oct of 2021. I will follow Ireland anywhere! I was really impressed with the session all around. I had a moment of panic and she let me catch my breath and didn’t rush me to start back up. I am hoping to get an extension on my arm piece this year by her!

Shop is super cute. Everyone was so friendly. Slinkii did an amazing job on my tattoo and made me feel so comfortable the whole time. *Edit* Ive gone back and had more work done. Cant wait to finish the whole thigh piece we started. Slinkii is so welcoming. Not only do they do amazing work but they have an awesome vibe too!! Added photos of all work done. Line work is great and attention to detail 👌👌

I cannot speak highly enough about how wonderful this business and its employees are. I went in for a flash event and got two tattoos, and the process was incredibly smooth. My artist Erica was absolutely incredible and the work she did was SO good I literally cried a little LOL. The vibes are right, the people are stellar - make this your next stop for sure.

I’ve been going to Sadie damn near since the day she started tattooing, and it’s for a reason. She is supercalifragilisticexpilaidocious at tattooing. She does better than I expect every single time, and I always walk out of there feeling amazing. Not only from the tattoos Sadie gives me, but the time I get to spend with her. She is an inspiring woman and I am thankful to share these experiences with her.

Such a cool place. Sadie did an amazing job with my and my daughters matching tattoos. It was my daughters first tattoo and she was nervous but Sadie was so cool about making her feel comfortable. Cant wait to go back!

I’ve gotten two tattoos here from Ireland (@bower.tattoo). She is so talented and has a light hand as well as they were pretty painless. Everyone comments on how beautifully they healed!

I was tattooed by Sadie in July and she did an amazing job! Everyone at the shop is so nice and makes you feel so comfortable! Sadie made sure I got exactly what I asked for and I couldn’t love it more! I definitely will be returning to Black Amethyst and booking with Sadie again! I cannot recommend her enough! I recommend Sadie to one of my friends to which she booked with her and she loved getting tattooed by her! I also recommend the shop to another one of my friends who booked with Slinkii and loved her and what she got as well!

Ireland did my first tattoo ever a couple years ago. I was running between graduation rehearsal, the appointment, and then to graduation. It was incredibly important to me as it was a memorial piece that she did for my father. It meant the world that she did it and everything about it is perfect to this day.

Let me start this off by saying that Black Amethyst was an extraordinary experience from beginning to end. I was fortunate enough to have Slinkii as an artist, who was friendly, positive, helpful, and talented. I couldn’t be happier with my tattoo! This was my very first tattoo and I felt comfortable and welcome at BA. I would trust Slinkii with all my future tattoos. If you’re thinking about coming, you definitely should!

Got tattooed twice by sadie this year. She is super sweet & does phenomenal work! I’m so in love w her work and the pieces she put on me. Shes super welcoming as well! I definitely recommend going to her!

Had the best tattoo experience from Sadie i get super anxious and nervous but she was so kind and tattoos so gentle , I get so many compliments and it’s my fav tattoo ever!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ireland was wonderful for my first tattoo! My two kids talked me into matching tattoos and Ireland calmed my nerves and did a fantastic job!!Incredible artist and an incredible environment!

We had a great experience with Alex. Her designs were better than we could have ever imagined ourselves, she is incredibly professional, and made us feel so comfortable chairside. I was so impressed by her style and the end result is a true piece of art!! I am excited to book another appointment with her! Thank you

I got probably the most meaningful tattoo by Sadie, and she killed it. I sent her reference pictures but when I got there, she had my masterpiece drawn up and I loved it so much. All of the humans in the business are so welcoming as well. Well worth the 2 hr drive ❤️

Ireland has become one the the best artist Ive know! Her style is so consistent and beautiful, and clean. I 100% would recommend getting work from her in the future!

I recently got tattooed by Sadie. She made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. The tattoo turned out even better than I imagined and I couldnt be happier with it. I highly recommend Sadie and Black Amethyst to anyone looking for a great tattoo experience

I got tattooed by Slinkii! I enjoyed my experience. They made me feel extremely comfortable and explained everything to me. My tattoo turned out amazing! They are super talented. I strongly recommend getting tattooed by them!The shop itself is very welcoming. I will be back.

Love their shop!!! Sadie’s done a couple tattoos for me on my back and arm and I absolutely love them! Her work is beautiful and the shop is very comfortable ❤️

Very disappointed in this shop. My tattoo artist moved out of state so I was looking for a new artist to finish my patchwork sleeve. I wanted a female artist and I came across this shop and our beliefs aligned so I was super excited to be tattooed there. I inquired into Avery through their online form and waited two weeks for a response. When I finally got a response I was told that they were not accepting my project at this time or the artist booked up too fast. This makes no sense to me because their IG shows Avery’s books are open and the IG story says Avery is booking into December and January. I also asked for a floral design which is mainly what Avery’s IG consists of. I wasn’t referred to another artist or anything. It is pretty disappointing that they advertise their books are open and the art I want done is literally what they do. Glad to see they’re not hurting for business but I would have appreciated a better explanation instead of wasting my time waiting to book for two weeks or at least a referral to one of their other artists.

Recently got a tattoo here with Slinkii. They are the absolute best and I love my tattoo. They made me feel welcomed and comfortable the entire time, and I made sure to rebook with them as soon as their books opened I loved it so much. The shop is clean and welcoming and everything a tattoo shop and experience should be. Thank you so much for changing to vibe of how getting a tattoo can be!

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SAFE, FRIENDLY, VIBEY, NONJUDGMENTAL TATTOO SHOP LOOK NO FURTHER!I had a totally perfect time at the shop yesterday. When I walked in the vibes were immediately set. There were lots of plants and decorations. It was light and colorful. I felt so welcomed in.Everyone was super-duper friendly. Corina did my tattoo and she was an absolute gem! She was very professional and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. I cannot speak her praises enough. My tattoo is beautiful. It is exactly what I wanted.Thank you all for the lovely experience. I will be back!

This was my best tattoo experience to date. Everything about the process and the atmosphere was so refreshing. I appreciate the transparency and communication they provided and the comforting vibe really made me feel at home. I had my first appointment with Slinkii and not only did they flawlessly execute my vision, but they were so nice and chill too! I cannot recommend this shop enough.

I have gone to Black Amethyst for all of my tattoos, the environment is so welcoming and every artist makes the space feel comfortable and safe. Sadie has done the majority of my tattoos and never fails to impress me, I’ve had both flash and custom work and she has done such an amazing job making my tattoo visions come to life.

Avery did an amazing job on my hip tattoo!! It was my first big piece and she always made sure I was comfortable and doing okay. Her art is beautiful, I highly recommend going to her! Will be getting all future pieces done by her

Had a great experience with Sadie! I booked a flash piece of hers and loved working with her to make the piece fit perfectly for me. Captured pretty great in my engagement photo lol

I think my tattoo looks nice, but I am disappointed with the service I received. I was trying to make conversation with my artist and telling her how much I looked up to her and her work and she didn’t really acknowledge anything I was saying. The whole reason I wanted to come to this studio was for the opportunity to be comfortable to be myself and not be afraid to express concerns or ask questions. I was planning to get a whole sleeve done by this artist but now I am going to find someone else who won’t make me feel the way my artist did. I felt so out of place being here and as if I didn’t belong here and that’s why I give it 3 stars.

Black amethyst is amazing in every way possible. I have gotten tattoos from Sadie and Slinkii and both artists were amazing. They were friendly, supportive, professional, TALENTED, inclusive, patient, and so many more great things. My pieces turned out AMAZING and I couldn’t be happier. I will never go to any other shop because all the people at Black Amethyst make it such an amazing experience. 1000/10 recommend this shop.

Erica is amazing! She did amazing work and is super nice and understanding. Shes quick to respond with good information that is informed. Shes all around an amazing artist. The studio is interesting, comfortable, and all the artists are amazing. The studio is extremely clean and well kept. Erica is now my only tattoo artist and I wont go anywhere but Black Amethyst Tattoo ever again. Highly recommend.

I have been twice to see Slinkii and it is my new favorite tattoo shop. The vibes when you walk in are so comfortable and chill. Everyone is super nice and welcoming. Slinkii made me feel comfortable the moment I came in and both times I had a great experience with them. I can’t wait to go back in August for my third tattoo with them!

I came here and had Alex, they did an amazing job. My tattoo is everything and more that I couldve wanted. They were so professional and I couldnt have asked for a better experience!

Ive been to Ireland a few times now and she is the best! Her work is amazing and the environment at Black Amethyst is so chill and welcoming. Highly recommend this place to anyone!!!

I was just in to Black Amethyst for a tattoo last week, and I could not be happier with my experience! I drove a little over two hours for my appointment, and it was 100% worth making the trip. The shop was clean and charming, and everyone on staff was kind and welcoming. My tattoo was with Avery... she is SO talented and sweet, and made my tattoo experience a perfect one! Beautiful design, great communication, plenty of breaks, and clear aftercare instructions. I am already daydreaming about going out for my next tattoo!

Black Amethyst is the best tattoo studio I have ever been to! I was tattooed by Slinkii and it was incredible. They went over the design and placement with me before we started and I left with an amazingly beautiful and meaningful tattoo. The space is welcoming and inviting as well. I definitely plan to get more tattoos from them in the future!

This shop has such a fun, bright atmosphere. All of the artists do great work. Sadie did a large upper back piece on me and was so easy to work with, gave me a gorgeous tattoo, and had a bomb playlist for the day ❤️

Alex Rivera did my tattoo last week and did such a great job! I’m blown away by her line work and subtle shading. Her design was 10x better than I imagined and it was such a relief that she understood what I wanted. I love how it turned out! This pic is day 4 healing, right after the Saniderm came off. She also made the experience comfortable and enjoyable. I hope to see her again in the future!

Got to meet Sadie at the Akron tattoo convention, she was so sweet and you could tell she was very passionate about her work, definitely plan on going back (as long as she plans on continuing going there to get a more pieces from her definitely worth the drive!)

I got a tattoo done by Alex recently and had a great experience! Id been wanting to get another tattoo for a long while, but I was nervous, especially considering the pandemic. Alex made me feel very comfortable and relaxed, and she did a beautiful job! I will definitely be back soon!!!

Black Amethyst Tattoo Company is a professional, clean and inclusive studio ran by an all female team of talented artists who make it their priority to make you feel comfortable. Sadie did both of my tattoos and she is the best! Not only is she is a fantastic artist, she is sweet and works with you to create a design that fits your style and aesthetic. I look forward to my next one and strongly encourage booking with her!

Made an appointment with Sadie 5 months ago for a sleeve to be finished that one of the girls saw on TikTok, from a comment on her posts on how I liked her style and lost my original artist, offered to finish it for me when her books opened up. I sent pictures and a description of what I would like with pictures of how my arm currently looked, and she accepted the booking, and scheduled me saying how excited she was about this tattoo. I paid my deposit, the day of my tattoo she reached out to me to reschedule. Honestly red flag but the shop was so well recommended. We rescheduled for a couple weeks out (this Saturday 8/27) only to get a phone call from not the owner or my artist, just someone else in the shop, to say they changed their mind about being able to execute the sleeve. I would have completely understood if she had just said that from the get go and not even accepted my initial appointment because every tattoo artist has their own style they’re comfortable tattooing. But to cancel 4 days beforehand when she had 5 months to consider this piece, I had already missed out on a day of paid work for the first appointment and now second appointment. I wanted to back this tattoo shop so badly because it stands morally for everything I stand for myself but after this whole mess I can’t recommend doing business with them. So heart broken over this whole situation, getting my hopes up for 5 months and then having nothing to show for it. Not even an apology from the actual tattoo artist, I did receive my deposit back but seriously, not even an apology or a conversation with the artist I actually had booked with. So unprofessional.

Sadie was amazing and my tattoo looks stunning! She was so kind throughout the whole process, and made sure to check in on me and how I was doing :)

I got a flash tattoo from Slinkii & they were great! It was one of those last minute openings and they were super responsive and great at communicating. I love the piece and appreciated them fitting me in! The reason I can’t give 5 stars is because Avery posted they had last minute openings so I jumped and messaged them. We had a whole conversation going and then they just stopped responding. Zero context and I reached out multiple times to confirm if we were still on for 2pm today. Nothing. Very disappointed in the ghosting, if they didn’t want to book (after saying they had an opening and talking about designs) all they had to do was say so. Instead, let me sit around all day and move my appointments around with no response. Extremely unprofessional.

I had an appointment made with Avery which she cancelled only hours before for a family emergency which I was understanding about and I was able to reschedule with her the following week. 2 hours before that appointment I received a text from her cancelling due to illness which I also understood. She offered to do the tattoo for free which I was very grateful for. I texted back within minutes trying to figure out a time to reschedule for. Days and several texts went by before I finally got a response. I ended up just getting my deposit back because communication was lacking. I had taken off work twice for this and still don’t have the tattoo. I didn’t feel like this was handled very professionally and I didn’t feel like she cared about my appointment anymore since she would not be making any money off of it. I planned to tip and she would still get my deposit money. I felt this whole experience was handled poorly. I’m disappointed with how this was handled and will not be trying here again. I love what this company stands for and their views but the service hasn’t been great.

Sadie did a fantastic job!! I had such an amazing experience and I love my butterfly piece from her!

SADIE IS THE BEST! I got 2 smaller tattoos done by Sadie and had the best experience! Sadie helped me when I got there because I was unsure on my designs and helped me out:) Her space was clean and the whole shop is so cute and she was very professional and fun at the same time. Definitely recommend her to everyone!!!

Corina did a wonderful job on my back tattoo! I am so happy with how it turned out and I will definitely be returning here for my next tattoo. The shop was super cute and so welcoming; I’ve not experienced that at other shops before.

I got my first tattoo ever at Black Amethyst by Sadie and she was honestly amazing. Her booth is so cute and clean and she is so talented and professional. I felt so comfortable and I would only ever get any other tattoos done by her! Loved supporting this is all women shop…go to Sadie!!!

I had the most beautiful tattoo done by Slinkii! They were able to create exactly what I wanted and made me feel so comfortable during the entire process. I have gone to a couple other tattoo shops but they do not compare at all to Black Amethyst. Not to be cliché, but the vibes are great here. I have been looking for *my* tattoo place, and this is it.

I have gotten one tattoo here from Corina and one from Slinki. They are both amazing as are the rest of the artists. I truly dont want to go to any other tattoo shop ever because I felt immediately comfortable when I walked in. with previous shops, nerves were always there, but not with black amethyst. I cant wait to get more tattoos here❤️❤️❤️

I received a butterfly tattoo from Ireland Bower on my arm last year and they were amazing! Super easy to book with and I get compliments on my tattoo all the time!

Avery, who did my tattoo, was very professional, lovely and personable. I scheduled my next tattoo from her before I left! I would definitely recommend this shop.

I’ve seen Sadie a couple times now and really enjoyed the experience both times. She’s a great artist and a really nice person. Speaking as a woman, the shop itself is a really comfortable space which I appreciate. I would and *have* recommended Sadie and this shop to my friends!

Everyone here at Black Amethyst is absolutely lovely. the vibes are amazing, it’s such a comfortable and great place. Sadie did my tattoos back when she was an apprentice and i am still in love with them. They are the best shop and i recommend these lovely artists to everyone.

Sadie did the most beautiful Medusa tattoo for me. Design was perfect and it was such a pleasant experience. Will definitely be going back to Black Amethyst for other pieces in the future. Highly recommend.

The work these artists produce is breath taking! I found them about a year ago and was in awe. To have them local was like a dream come true! They truly show case the art of tattooing! 10/10!!

I was tattooed by Sadie Winter over the summer and it was a fantastic experience! I decided on a larger thigh piece and Sadie was so sweet and professional during the entire couple of hours it took. I definitely would love to be tattooed by her again in the future!!

Slinki is absolutely amazing. They are so so gentle and do the best work. There is a reason their books remain closed because damn this art is so good. I have NEVER had tattoos that hurt this little and healed this well. They are probably going to be annoyed by me constantly trying to get in when their books open

When I had a bad experience with a previous shop, it was recommended to me to try Black Amethyst! Sadie did my first tattoo with the shop and she did not disappoint. I had a great experience with everyone I met in the shop and felt super comfortable and at home while Sadie did my tattoo! I was so excited to see that this was also an LGBTQ+ friendly shop and all-female as well! Already scheduled a second tattoo with Avery, and I dont plan on going anywhere else but Black Amethyst for my tattoos!

This was my first time getting a tattoo, and its safe to say that Im definitely gonna be coming back for more. I got tattooed by Avery and she was very nice and made me feel super comfortable. Im in love with my tattoo and keep getting compliments on it :)

I had a great experience at Black Amethyst. Slinkii did a great job with my tattoo and its healing very nicely. The atmosphere is cozy and safe and it was a great experience. I love that its all women and that they are welcoming to anyone.

I was referred to this shop by one of my friends, I’ve been tattooed by Sadie twice and she’s always so nice and accommodating! She does amazing work! 💕💖🌸🎀💞

Had a wonderful experience with Slinkii! They were a pleasure to talk too and did a wonderful job drawing out and doing my tattoo! Excited to get another one by them 🤍✨

Brooke did such an amazing job on my tattoo! It was my first tattoo and she made sure to help calm my nerves and make it an amazing experience! The environment of black amethyst tattoo co is absolutely amazing and so so so welcoming. Definitely go here for your tattoos!!!

I got my tattoo back in january, and to be fair the tattoo is amazing, but the experience was less than. i got my tattoo by slinki, my appointment was at 11 and the design was finished but we didnt start until 12:30 with no explanation. I was barely acknowledged and told that my tattoo style isnt the one she likes to do- it made me feel very uncomfortable and like i should have just gone somewhere else. for a business that prides themselves on being for everyone and wants to make everyone feel welcome, they didnt do that too great for me

I had an absolutely amazing experience at Black Amethyst tattoo company!! From the minute you walk in to the minute you walk out you are in great company! Everyone was absolutely fantastic, I felt right at home while I was there. Erica KILLED it, her art work is top notch!! I’ll be back for all of my tattoos- even with the 4 hour drive! All the staff does amazing work- GO check them out!!

I got a tattoo by Slinkii & let me tell you, it was the best tattoo experiences of my life! She was professional, kind, funny & an amazing tattoo artist! Before & after the tattoo she was open to answer my 100 questions I sent her way. During the tattoo she was friendly, talkative & let me take breaks when needed. She has given me my new favorite tattoo & I cannot wait to go back for my next! The fact that’s she an apprentice & is this talented has me so excited to see what she does with tattooing in the years to come!

Have gotten multiple amazing tattoos from Avery and had a wonderful experience while there! She was so nice, sweet and funny! Was able to work with what I wanted and helped bring it to life! Such an amazing artist would definitely recommend her!

I’ve been tattooed by quite a few artist at this shop and everyone is amazing. Sadie did one of my favorite pieces this year and i love to show it off. I recommend this place to everyone when showing off their beautiful pieces of work!

I got a Get What You Get Tattoo with Slinkii. She was professional, clean, and quick. She was running behind because she was finishing another client for an artist that had called off, but stuff happens and Im not bothered by that. And she still finished my appointment on time.The tattoo was a good size and design for the price. The shop itself was clean and cozy.

Update 03/04.I loved the work done by Slink. They were fast and efficient. Will be back for more....I booked an appointment with Rachel Marie since Sept 19th for the appointment date on Oct 17th at11 AM. After arriving on time, I had to wait 30 min at the lobby only to be told by the artist herself that she was not ready with the art I provided 5 days prior for the appointment date. She said she thought it was an easy sketch, but turns out it was the opposite. She, then, try to make it seem it was my fault for sending her a new sketch so close to tattooing date to which I asked if she already had the “old” design ready, her answer was no. I would have rebook with her, but I realized how unprofessional she was for being unprepared and for not being punctual. Anyways, I was disappointed (absolutely) but I am glad I wasn’t inked by an artist who is so irresponsible. I know it’s unfair to give two stars, but to whoever it is trying to book I would suggest avoiding Rachel.

Love love love the piece I got from Sadie!!! It was such a great experience, and I feel so comfortable going to this shop. I have gotten 2 tattoos here so far, and plan to come back for more :)

Love the work I have received from this shop. One of my favorite pieces was done by Ireland which is this beautiful owl. I have several from this amazing artist and look forward to my next piece.

It had been a while since I had gotten a tattoo so naturally I was a little anxious.. but slinkii made me feel so comfortable. she was thorough and made sure the line work was completely perfect. and the colors she picked were exactly what I was looking for. I 10/10 would recommend to a friend and I will be scheduling with her again super soon!

I got a tattoo by one of the newest artists, Sadie, and she did an amazing job! She was super friendly, sanitary and professional. Some of the other artists were there too and were very nice and welcoming! I’m definitely coming back to get more!

I had an appointment with my best friend for matching tattoos. The artists were all so nice and welcoming. My artist, Slinkii, talked us through the process and was very welcoming. I am very happy with my new tattoo, and excited to see how it will heal!

Slinkii did my first 2 tattoos and I absolutely love them!!! I will definitely be going back 🥰🥰

I can’t say enough good things about this place! Alex was absolutely amazing for my very first tattoo. She was super personable and her line work is sooo good! This was a really special memorial tattoo for my mom and I couldn’t be happier. I felt so comfortable there and everyone was so nice. I’ll be coming here for all of my future tattoos!

I was tattooed by Avery, she did such an amazing job designing it and was so kind while doing it! She made the environment comfortable and safe. She made sure I loved the piece and where it was placed at.

Slinkii tattooed me and my husband twice! They are the most professional, talented, and sweetest tattoo apprentice I have ever met! I fully trust them to do tons more work on me and I can’t wait until I can go back to them!

Slinkii did my amazing Alice in Wonderland 1/2 sleeve. She had the enthusiasm I was looking for in an artist and did an amazing job working with me on the design to give me exactly what I wanted. Slinkii was fun to talk to while she worked on my arm and very professional. 100% recommend her and will for sure book again!

Slinkii was nothing short of amazing!! They did a handwriting tattoo to memorialize one of my best friends that passed away recently and also added a skeleton that my friend and I were supposed to get matching together. The artwork was nothing short of amazing and they made my experience so special! I would love to have more artwork done by them again and highly reccomend! I am so happy with my outcome. Thank you!!

I had booked with Avery 3 months in advance on September 28th. The original time I was able getting first but I didn’t get my deposit in on time the time slot was already taken so I booked for another time no biggie, not upset at all that was my fault. What upsets me is getting a text 4 hours on the day of my appointment stating there was a scheduling conflict and my time slot had to be cancelled. I was very excited to get this tattoo it was very meaningful as it was my second daughters name and a connection with my oldest daughters name. But the huge kicker was the artist didn’t even try to work with me and to see if she could get me in sooner, considering the cancel was not my fault. She said she tries to fix mistakes in her books as soon as she sees them, but you don’t see something until the day of? She told me that she is still booked out for months in advance and I could reschedule and if not I would get my deposit back. I did get my deposit back, but again not the point. I had rearranged mine and my child’s schedules and had made sure I had someone watching them at least weeks before this. Very bad business practice on her part. It’s not my mistake as a client and I personally think should have been handled way better. If anything options to maybe get me in within a month or so considering I already waited 3 months. I was super excited for this shop and everything it stood for with their all female group and no negativity attitude, and was ready to support and be the biggest supporter because I love that kind of atmosphere. Extremely disappointed.

I had Slinkii do my tattoos and they had the best vibes!! I absolutely loved the atmosphere that they created while giving me such an amazing experience for my first tattoos. I will definitely be going back to them!!

My wife and I traveled from Maryland to this tattoo shop to get Inked with Slink(ii). Slinkii was very professional and friendly during our visit. Mt wife got a cute penguin with ballots and I left with a fabulous pink flamingo. the shop is open with a rustic but modern tattoo shop feel. Would definitely travel to this shop again.

Erica has done all of my tattoos except for one, which Areal did at the Shelby shop. I will never go anywhere else 🥰 I love these people and their amazing work!! 😍 Every single tattoo artist here are so nice, welcoming, CLEAN, and just overall wonderful!

Slinkii did such an amazing job on my two birthday tattoos. Her design was amazing! She was so much fun to be around. She was considerate of my latex allergy. I hope to be able to get more of her ink soon!!

Avery is so incredibly talented and super sweet. She made me feel so comfortable from start to finish. I came in with a pretty broad idea of what I wanted, and the end result was better than I ever could’ve imagined. All of the other artists were very kind as well, and the shop itself is beautiful. I booked another appointment with Avery and I can’t wait to go back!

I got a Friday the 13th tattoo done by Slinkii and they were phenomenal!! The shop is clean and the staff is so kind. I get compliments on my new tattoo almost every time I go out. Couldn’t have asked for a better tattoo experience!

Sadie did an amazing job on my tattoo!! I have been wanting it for so many years now and have been searching for the right artist to do it. When I found her on tiktok, I knew that she was the right artist for me. She literally brought my dream to life. I will definitely travel 3 hrs to see her again :)

I drove 2.5 hours to get a tattoo here and it was absolutely worth it! The shop is inviting and my artist Slink was fantastic. I love my piece so much. The whole experience was great and I will definitely be back again!

I am a repeat customer at this location and all I can say is that THEY NEVER MISS! They do great work for reasonable prices. They are so welcoming, friendly, and genuinely great people! Slinkii is one of my top 5 favorite tattoo artists and SHE NOT 5!❤️ 10/10 would recommend.

Sadie is such a talented artist- she is great with customs and her flashes are to die for😍 she did matching tattoos on my mom, sister, and I- she’s the best!

Slinki did a tattoo on me during her apprenticeship! She took her time making sure everything lined up properly and left me with a beautiful tattoo for my daughter ❤ She was very professional, and was making sure I was comfortable through the whole experience. I will most definitely be going back in the future to get another tattoo by Slinki!

I had my tattoo done by Slinkii. I gave her a basic idea of what I wanted and let her create rest! She did an amazing job, my tattoo is like a work of art. The shop has a great atmosphere. I love that its all women and body positive.

Sadie did an excellent job on this piece for me! I am in love with the design and she did the piece a lot faster than anticipated, which was much appreciated :) I hope to be able to get tattooed by her again!

I was so excited to find a female ran tattoo shop in Akron and I was NOT disappointed. The work everyone does there is so amazing. They are very welcoming and inclusive. Thank you to Brooke who made me feel comfortable and gave me such a lovely and meaningful tattoo. She is very talented.

Slinkii is truly and up and coming artist too keep your eye on. There is nothing better than your tattoo artist being excited to tattoo you. She made me feel comfortable and at ease and I already know that I will be back to let her stab me with some more needles. 😅. PLUS SHE MADE A TIKTOK OF THE TATTOO SHE DID FOR ME.. and that was super dope.

Sadie at Black Amethyst is AMAZING!! Her work is so high quality and just gorgeous! I’ll keep coming back to her! And she’s super easy to talk to when your in her chair and she makes you feel super comfortable the entire time your in the shop! Great experience with a great human!

Corina tattooed me and graciously tattooed 2 pieces instead of just the one we had planned for. She was so personable and professional and made me feel very comfortable. She gave me good suggestions on size and placement. Would definitely come back again to not only Corina but Black Amethyst! Wonderful place.

I got my tattoo from Sadie and she was absolutely wonderful! Did exactly what I wanted and was super awesome! This shop as a whole is very welcoming and has an all around awesome vibe. I seriously recommend to anyone I can!

Ive have work done by Ireland and it was a great experience.friendly, clean and turned out beautifully I couldnt of been happier with the quality tattoos she gives and the atmosphere

I’ve seen Avery 2 times in the last year! She’s gave me more than what i expected for my tattoos and the environment is very comforting! All the girls are very accepting and do great work! It’s all around a great shop to take your business too.

I got my 1st tattoo ever done by Slinkii and my experience was nothing less than amazing. She was supper friendly and helped calm my nerves. On top of that, my tattoo turned out better than I could’ve imagined (and I’m borderline type A lol so that’s hard to do) The shop was very clean, professional, and fun! I would love 100% recommend this shop and Slinkii! Thank you again!

I had a great experience with Brooke and the team. Scheduling was easy and Brooke did an awesome job working with me on what my vision was for my tattoo. It came out better than I imagined and I cant wait for it to fully heal!

I found Black Amethyst on TikTok of all places and what immediately drew me in was their shop being all female and LGBTQ+ friendly. Ironically enough TikTok was also the reason I was getting a tattoo - I had posted that I wanted to get a specific scene from Marvel’s Infinity War which ended up going viral. I messaged the shop and was connected with shop “nerd” Slinkii who designed an amazing piece for me!! She captured exactly what I was looking for, was very professional, and listened to my wants while also using her professional opinion. The appointment itself was awesome, the shop is so pretty and I had an awesome time with her while she tattooed me. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be going back in the future!

Erica is an AMAZING tattoo artist and owner. She cares for everyone she tattoos and that works for her. Her artwork is so beautiful. I had my half sleeve done in 2019 and I still get compliments on how good it looks. 10/10 recommend this shop!!

This is by far the best tattoo shop I have ever been in. The artists are so talented. The staff are all incredibly friendly and make you feel so comfortable and safe.

Corina did this piece on my upper thigh, and I couldnt be more pleased with the piece and the experience. I have been hesitant to book any appointments anywhere because I get very anxious making phone calls, so when I found an all woman shop that had booking online, I booked almost immediately. The entire booking process was seamless and calmed my nerves A LOT. When I got to the studio, Corina greeted me and helped me find the perfect size and location for my piece. She was so patient and professional while also making me feel like Ive known her my whole life. The amount of dedication and respect that Corina, as well as the other artists, have for the art form is admirable. To say I am pleased with the experience would be an understatement.

Me and my mom and sister booked with Stef/Slinkii for meaningful flower tattoos and it went great! The shop is very cozy and welcoming not to mention beautifully decorated. This is actually the third tattoo iv got from Slinkii and I’m already discussing getting more from her.

Slinki did two tattoos for me! She was super professional and also welcoming and talkative. The shop is beautiful and calming and overall it was a great experience. I will be back!

Sadie has done multiple tattoos for myself and multiple friends and I will continue to come to her time after time to get quality work done! Fantastic environment, and incredibly friendly staff. Highly recommend.

I had an amazing experience at Black Amethyst! Such a cool, calm, inclusive atmosphere. And Slinkii did an amazing job on my tattoo! Can’t wait to go back!

The artists are all so welcoming and it is truly the most calming and relaxing tattoo studio you can find in the area! To top it off, they do amazing work here as well!

Slinkii sacrificed their whole Saturday to do a surprise birthday gift tattoo for my husband that we planned out together over the course of a few weeks, they were communicative and shared their progress right up until the day of the appt. He loves it! And they did one for me that same day and it’s perf! Thanks Slinkii!

Went there for my first big tattoo with Sadie, she did an amazing job was very good with making sure the tattoo was exactly how I wanted it. Very professional and cute tattoo shop. Definitely recommend Sadie!!

First of all, it is a female ran tattoo shop, which we NEED more spaces like this. There aren’t a lot of places I walk into and immediately feel comfortable, this shop is one of those places. Steph tattooed me, I saw her work online and immediately knew I wanted her work on me. Now I just look at everything she does and can’t wait to come back to Ohio to get more tattoos by her. She is the type of person who puts everything she has into what she’s doing and you don’t feel like she is somewhere else or thinking about the next tattoo she is going to do. Experience 10/10.

Sadie is awesome. Her line work is impeccable. Shes friendly and professional. LOVE my newest piece from her. Shes done two pieces for me now and I would definitely go back and recommend her to anyone.

This was an amazing first tattoo experience! I felt at ease right away and the whole process was painless! I had a great day and love the outcome!

Love the work done by Emily 100% am going back for more

This beautiful studio is also filled with beautiful souls and amazing artists. This business will have you leaving with your crown fixed and your head held high. A studio of real, raw, and accepting people - cant get better then that! I personally, have been tattood by their current apprentice, Slinkii, and couldnt be happier with the work they have done! They are absolute rockstars .

I have got tattooed by Slinkii several times!!! She has the lightest hand and the best line work! I have received a few tattoos from her and each one better then the last!!! I hope to go back to her many times. love her!!!!!

I had an appointment booked for months and had to have the artist cancel on me. i understand that it’s flu season and people get sick. that was not my problem. the problem was that i received no communication after attempting to reschedule my appointment. three days later i tried to contact the artist again for my deposit back, and still no answer. after that i tried to call the shop within their business hours and no one answered the phone, so i left a message and still received no communication. i finally got an answer from the shop and received a text from my artist to ask how i would like my deposit back. the worst part is that she still took new clients in the week that i received no communication and posted her new work on her social media’s for people to see while she wasn’t answering clients.
