Today I finished a full sleeve with Junior. Dude gave me a masterpiece and really took his time to do it right. The quality of Tattoo this man can do is unmatched. The best tattoo artist in the area. Ink Lyfe is where I will continue to go for all my tats. Environment of the shop made the long sessions fly by. The team there really makes sure the customer feels at home. 10/10 highly recommend!!!

Ive been following Juniors work for years & finally booked an appointment with him. The shop is very clean, welcoming & everyone is friendly. I spent roughly 18 hours over two days, back to back having my piece done & Junior made sure I was comfortable the entire time. His attention to detail is top tier, you can tell how much his work means to him. If you are looking for a tattoo that will blow your mind, dont hesitate to get set up with him! You wont regret it!!Also, Monica is incredibly helpful from the moment you book to days later with any questions you may have during the healing process! Overall had a great experience here, and cant wait to come back for more!

My experience at ink Lyfe was great from start to finish. This was an “artist choice” piece that we very spontaneously decided to do. I’m very happy with my tattoo. Junior is very detailed in his work and he takes pride in it. Can’t wait to schedule more appointments with him

I’ve gotten tattoos from other places but I gotta say working with Junior was amazing. He took his time to get every detail done and the tattoo looks amazing. Definitely worth the buck!! I recommend Ink Lyfe Studios!! Very clean, welcoming, and helpful when it comes the the wrap also.

I don’t even know where to begin. From the start of booking my tattoo appointment to eventually coming in to get the tattoo, the whole process couldn’t have gone more smoothly!!! After a long 4 years of trying to find the right artist, I stumbled upon Juniors work and I instantly knew he was going to be the artist to bring my Idea to life. Being that I was going to get a sleeve for my first tattoo, I was unsure of what to expect but Junior reassured me that the end result was going to be worth it. I can say 100% that the finished piece exceeded my expectations!!! Junior’s versatility and style of tattooing is what makes his work stand out amongst all others and with that being said, I will 1,000% be back to get more work done by Junior!!! Last but not least, I couldn’t thank Junior’s assistant Monica enough for everything she did to help make the process go by as smoothly as it did!!! If there is anybody in the ABE area looking for a talented tattoo artist, make sure to hit up Junior at Ink Lyfe Studios.

I recommend anyone to come here the shop is neat and clean, my actual experience getting this tattoo was a moment to always remember juniors artistic ability is no joke he did a memorial tattoo for me and it turned out amazing and for my dark skin friends out there who is looking for a artist that knows how to tat dark skin this is the location to come to. This was my first tattoo everybody was super friendly in helping me through it they even put on my comfort show I forgot the tattoo was happening even at one point almost fell asleep junior was gentle funny and focused the details in the tattoo was insane don’t just take my word for it just go there check it out!!!

Junior is a true artist 🖤. You have to admire his dedication and love for what he does, always striving to become the best version of himself. His talent is unmatched, I get compliments on my tattoos everywhere I go. The manager, Monica, does an amazing job at booking and follow up afterwards to check the healing and is always there to answer any questions. Super professional people, the shop is awesome, clean, organized, and they inform you with anything you need to know before getting your tattoo, making you feel at ease and helping you relax. I recommend Ink Lyfe Studios 💯!!!

From the very first time I stepped into the business Monica was very personable and welcoming. Asked all relevant questions regarding what I wanted to get done. Explained the process beginning to end. I have multiple tattoos and every one except for one came out to my expectation. So really going into this one was nerve racking because this one was very special to me. And I really wanted it to display as such. Along with Junior and Monica making the environment so relaxing and comfortable. Junior blew my mind to say the least. Took his time and his attention to detail ridiculous. 💯 shows his experience and his capability to come up with suggestions for a client by viewing and actively listening. Def recommend this business for anyone looking to get an extraordinary tattoo. Thank you, Junior for making my tribute to my grandmother so beautiful. Keep it 💯 ☺️

I have been to inklyfe 3 times already. Dan and Junior are absolutely amazing. First the environment is so inviting. The shop is one of the cleanest shops you will ever see, they make you feel so comfortable. I referred 2 first time tattoos to Dan and before they even walked out the door they were planning the next tattoo. Now let me talk about the amazing artist. I watched Junior tattoo each time I came in and was in Aww!!! The detail and the time that he takes to make sure each person feels comfortable is amazing. I watched him look at a cartoon and tattoo from the cartoon he was watching. I was talking about that tattoo to everyone who would listen. Now Dan, who will be tattooing every tattoo I get from now on, is the most gentle tattoo artist you will ever meet. He is so creative and just sitting there with him, he makes sure you are comfortable, his line work is phenomenal, I could go on and on. I sent two first timers to him one being a very close friend and my daughter and both said Dan is an amazing tattoo artist. Dan ensured that he checked on them throughout the whole session and I just watched him as he ensured everything was perfect. Check out his work because Dan is literally one of the best. Please stop by and see them. Tattoos are a big commitment but I promise you these fellas are definitely the ones to make that commitment with.

I am a returning client of Junior. Ive been absolutely blown away by the designs Junior was able to create by just a view simple ideas I had. Ive been in both studios for tattoos and I instantly felt welcomed and loved the environment. The studios themselves were very clean and had great vibes. Junior was very professional the entire day sessions Ive spent with him and you can tell he takes a lot of pride in his work. He totally killed it with my designs! Ive never seen a realism tattoo executed so perfectly. Even two years later from the first tattoo, the colors are still bright and vibrant. Ive had tattoos from several different tattoo shops over the years, and nothing compares to the quality offered here. I will be a client of Juniors for life!

Ink Lyfe is a great shop with from the moment you walk-in, you feel welcomed with an awesome lively vibe from Monica (front desk/scheduler) to the artist Junior (Owner) and Dan. A month before we were supposed to start on my sleeve I had an accident overseas that hurt my pocket. Once I came back to the states I contact the shop and ask if we could possibly reschedule the sessions. They were completely understanding of the situation and moved my dates around. Junior’s work speaks for itself his ability to transform an idea into a masterpiece that you’ll always be proud to show off.

Business is business. How is it logical for you to schedule an 8 hr appointment in which Client shows up, you tattoo for an hr and 30 min and leave because you have physical therapy. You could have told the client when they confirmed the appointment…So client was charged $400 for one hour of work to then forced to reschedule after waiting so long already. So unprofessional!! Monica is absolutely the worst.

Absolutley love it here! I relevantly wanted to find a new artist and stumbled upon this shop. At the old shop I went to I never felt welcomed but as soon as I walked in here the vibe was so welcoming! I got a tattoo today by Jocelyn and she was super patient in designing my tattoo and made sure she got it perfect! Her line work is absolutely amazing! Very bubbly personality and made me feel comfortable! Definitely recommend!

It’s sad that I have to write a bad review because I loved the artist that did my new tattoo that I did for the passing of my grandma who lost her battle of Alzheimer’s. 3 weeks ago I came to this shop, and Ray was available to do my tattoo. Immediately I loved the atmosphere of the shop, and the nice customer service I was receiving. Ray did my tattoo, but because of the placement we knew it was going to need a touch up. Ray said come back in 3 weeks and he will retouching for FREE. 3 weeks passed; I reached out to ray on Instagram, he read my message, and didn’t respond. Odd… so I reached out to the shop, and said how unprofessional it is to not reach out or respond to a previous customer. The shop said Ray doesn’t work there anymore, you could find him at some other shop, or I can see if the tattoo artist Dan will do it, but he will charge you $60 for a touch up. I honestly don’t care who works there or not, but an artist that was representing your shop made a promise to a customer, and did not furfill his part of the deal, which in my opinion makes the shop itself look bad. I like the shop because I came in as a walk in which most shops don’t do, but because of this incident..I will not be getting any work done here anymore.

Review №23

Junior and the assistant(girlfriend) come to the shop late, bringing a toxic relationship to the shop. I booked 7 months in advance. Instead of having the artwork ready the day of, I had to wait an hour and a half for them to draw it up and be charged while waiting even tho they walked in late. theres no back and forth with the artist about anything. I didnt ask me if I liked the piece or nothing. Customers are waiting to get tatted while two of them arguing in the back about nonsense, constantly interrupting tatto sessions. Every session is basically 2 sessions. I get booked for 2 sessions 8 hrs each...he finished around 5hrs both times. Could have been done in 1 sessions maybe. Like I sa, d finishes early to get another date in and charge extra hours getting ready. REASON Im even writing this ishhh is because I wanted a minor retouch that might have taken 10mins on my hand the day of my 2nd session. Instead, books a 3rd session at full price for a retouch. The way I got charged was that on my 2nd session, I got charged 8hrs even tho I was there 5hrs. I got the receipts... they said my retouch was not going to be charged. So I asked why did I get charged 8hrs on my 2nd session.They said because it was including the retouch. but why if they said it was at no charge... I dont need 2 hours, like I said, maybe 20 mins. They canceled my retouch(3rd session) and kept my 3hours they owed me from my 2nd session. Childish place. Assistant or manager whoever she was would rather not talk on the phone to avoid situations. she text and takes a day to reply. because being on the phone, she did not know how to answer any questions I had for her. Btw the artist never even reached out to me. The assistant hadle alright by ignoring me as much as she can.Scammers, like 1 of the other reviewers said.

Fixed my botched nose piercing while she was getting her sleeve tattoo finished, while leaving in less than an hour to go out of state. extremely sweet, asked how I was doing the entire time and comforted me whenever the pain got too intolerable. gave me their number in case Id like another stud in and told me to come back if there were any issues. will most definitely be coming back!

Ive been recently returning to getting tattoos after a 20 plus year break. Ink lyfe and Junior H has produced some of the most AMAZING Art work I have seen to date. Now Im getting new ink all the time. Running out of space, but Junior has given me 3 incredible peices of art that I am so proud to wear. Im totally into his style, and professionalism and his art work is absolutely beautiful. 💯.If your looking for your 1st tattoo or adding new pieces, you owe it to yourself to check out his portfolio on Instagram. You will be blown away by his skills and attention to details. Best Ive seen... my man😊
