I went in yesterday for my second tattoo for the Friday the 13th flash sale (first tattoo at this shop) and I had a fantastic experience!! Everyone seemed very comfortable being there, and the shop was very clean I had no hygiene concerns, customers were bantering with the artists and staff and everyone was so friendly and comedic! Mac did my tattoo, I picked the bat off of the flash sheet and he did such a good job! Very nice attention to detail even on a simple tat, he was gentle and I felt very little pain in addition to he was so friendly! I am not generally very good at starting conversations but he was a good conversationalist and wasnt awkward at all. The only reason why I would have given 4 stars was because I had to wait 45 minutes before getting in but I understand that they were insanely busy and have no anger towards it! But the tattoo came out great and I overall had a fantastic experience! Thank you to the staff at love dove for giving me such a positive experience I will be back!

This shop has an inclusive and friendly atmosphere, both among the artists and the clients they attract. Mac will go out of his way to make you feel comfortable and his work is exceptional. I’m still noticing thoughtful details in my tattoo a couple days after the session. Already looking forward to getting the next one done here.

So I went in for a tattoo with Mac and have to say was a great experience! His work is incredible and I have been tattooed by a few artists at this point most are well known! I will say that this will not be my last tattoo at Love Dove Tattoo! I met all of the artist of which are all great people who so INCREDIBLE work! Prices are more than fair especially considering the quality of the work! Make an appointment today you will not regret it!

Jake was really fantastic with our appointment. my two sisters and I got small memorial tattoos that were not big money makers for him, but he was so awesome and attentive and especially patient with my sister who was getting tattooed for the first time. Shop is clean and “arty”- HIGHLY RECOMMEND this shop and Jake in particular.

This shop is truly a gift! I have several tattoos from Leti and Mac, and all were incredible experiences. I’ve never felt so welcome and SAFE getting tattoos before, and I have many. It’s such a relief to know I’ll get amazing quality art permanently on my body, all while being respected and having a fun time. I cannot recommend them enough! I look forward to getting more work done here. 👏👏

This is a truly amazing shop filled with friendly people that have made me feel welcome and comfortable for each session, which can be hard to find. They host artists who are very talented- Jake has given me 2 beautiful tattoos and other artists were on top of suggesting placement for one of them. You can tell this team cares about each other, their clients and their community. I would recommend anyone to go to Love Dove.

Love Dove Tattoo shop is absolutely an amazing shop. I have been going to Leti for well over 3 years now when she was working at a different shop. This is a women owned business and super inclusive for everyone. I have now gotten both of my legs sleeves finished. The quality of work is amazing. With Leti I just give her a concept and let her do her magic. The tattoo process is very smooth and Leti can talk to you about anything. She makes you feel comfortable when you are in the chair and the shop has very nice mellow and classic look that feels welcoming. The prices are not drastic at all. She is very consistent and the work is amazing. I myself was recommended by one of my friends, and here I am years later with TWO SLEEVES. The shop offers a ton of different styles of tattoo art. You can walk in and check out all of the artist work to see which one works for you. Great place, great owners, great TATTOOS!

I did not have a great experience… I got a butterfly and I chose yellow and white as my colors. After the healing process ALL of the color came out and I take great care of my tattoos. I got it redone by a different tattooer and all the color stayed. My husbands butterfly was only black and when he got his done again the tattooer had to go over his whole outline again because some of the ink was fell out.. she was very professional and made sure we were comfortable.
