Classic Ink Tattoo Studio

Absolutely amazing tattoo shop! All the staff are incredibly friendly and do amazing work! Duncan is a super cool guy and did an amazing job on my arm! I couldnt recommend a better shop in the area!

Got a tattoo done by Pollo, and he did amazing! I have a low pain tolerance and he made the experience very comfortable and easy. The tattoo looks amazing also!

Jess helped me through my first tattoo. She was willing to put up with any changes and was very informative/kind throughout. She will keep you laughing the whole time. Highly recommend her!

Awesome experience!! The people are super nice and give great advice for how to take care of your tattoo! Me and my mom went in for a vacation tattoo , and got the perfect one to remeber !

Classic Ink Tattoo is the best shop in Bradenton! I’ve been going here since 2021 & have gotten multiple tattoos and piercings! Jess is the best tattoo artist! She’s done almost all of my tattoos. She listens to her clients and provides rad custom tattoos. She is easy going and provides a great atmosphere for the tattooing experience!

Great communication and easy to talk to! Ohran did a great job of making me feel comfortable for my first tattoo and helped me with every step. Absolutely reccomend!

Today was my second time going to this shop for a walk-in tattoo; I love this shop! My tattoo today was by Brandon; I got script and a line work flower on my hip. Back in December I walked in for another flower (I’m a flower tattoo girly) on the back of my arm and Duncan did that one. The quality of their tattoos is phenomenal & the atmosphere is great, very welcoming & comfortable. I would absolutely recommend this shop, I will be back for more!

I went to the shop today and got an awesome tattoo done from Pollo Vasquez. He did it freehanded, and it came out amazing. All of his work is phenomenal. I definitely recommend him. Definitely going back

We walked in and got the whole family inked or pierced in under two hours! Absolutely fabulous staff. Friendly and fun to work with. Extremely clean and the art is both unique and high quality. Aftercare is simple. Highly recommend! Ask for Jes or Lee or Pollo if you want a great tattoo experience! And shout out to Ryan for for helix piercing.

This is the best place in the area for tattoos or piercings, hands down. I got a piercing from Nurse Cathy and a large tattoo from Duncan. They are both amazing at what they do! My son has also had wonderful experiences here as well. I will definitely recommend them to anybody I can! Everyone in the shop was great to work with!

Great service! Very good quality. Will be back for my next tattoo! Pollo is an excellent artist!

I went in looking for just a simple tattoo to represent a family member. Lee did an amazing job. His lines are crisp and clean and clear. His placement was spot on and he even went back to make sure the lines were clean and clear. Definitely worth 5 stars. Will be back to update an older piece and add to the one today today.

Absolutely love this place and have been beyond impressed by Pollo and his work. If you are debating some new tattoos I recommend checking him out! I have gotten three done by him now and each time he has gone above and beyond my expectations! Very helpful, informative, and so talented!

Had a tattoo done by Brandon and it is AMAZING. The artistry and attention to detail are top notch. Prices are fair, everyone is friendly and knowledgeable, would highly recommend this studio. It was well worth the trip to Florida.

Ive had a couple things done here recently and I dont have one bad thing to say.My son and I both got piercings and I also got a tattoo.Everybody on the staff is kind, patient, and easy to talk to. They are all beyond willing to answer any and all questions to help quiet any concerns you may have in your mind. And they do so in a respectful manner.Our piercings were quick and nearly painless. We got extensive instructions on how to care for our piercings. We were told and it was stressed if we have any concerns or issues we can stop by anytime to see Nurse Cathy or anybody else on the piercing team for that matter.My tattoo I worked with Pollo. He was wonderful. It was my first piece ever and he was so mindful of that. When we were starting he explained every step he was going to take and what I could expect to feel. He started the piece doing simple outlines to allow me to get used to the sensation. He checked in with me frequently throughout the piece. It took about 2.5 hours total. He also gave me numerous compliments about how good I was handling it for my first time which kept me super encouraged even when the pain got bad.I am already planning my next piece with him in my head. 120% will be returning to Pollo. I love my first piece so much. I couldnt recommend Pollo higher.

Pollo (Uriel) has done several of my tattoos and I’ve never been disappointed! He pays attention to every single detail and never misses. I’m already planning my 5th one with him. Thank you pollo!!

I went there with an idea of what I wanted and gave him free reign to add color where he saw fit. Looks even better than I imagined it would look! Can’t wait until it’s healed. The colors are so vibrant and his lines were very precise!

I have been at this tattoo shop numerous times for piercings and for tattoos and I absolutely love it here. I’ve seen both Cathy and Duncan and they both had phenomenal bedside manner and were very fun and comfortable to work with. I recommend this place to everybody who ever asks. 10/10.

The absolute best place for piercings, I’ve gotten all my piercings here and Cathy and Ryan are the best, and so funny. If you need help with anything or have any questions to they will help so much! 10/10 recommend!

All I have to say is wow, pollo was my artist and he did a fantastic job! If you plan on getting a tattoo anytime soon pollo does great fine line work! Definitely recommend!

Got a tattoo done here in late May- early June by Duncan Pressey. I came in with two girls and we were there for 4-5 hours all getting tattoos done by him. It’s been almost 2 months and I’d love to share my appreciation for this experience and the art done for me. My tattoo is a fuzzy little bee buzzing over a delicate sprig of lavender. It’s nothing like his work on his instagram and that honestly shows that he is a very multitalented and adaptive artist. Charismatic too, he was willing to be quiet until he noticed we were chatter mouths and he eventually jumped in, joking around with us and honestly keeping the vibe 💯. Wanted to wait a bit to review just to make sure my tattoo healed up nicely and it healed up SO BEAUTIFULLY. I did exactly what he suggested for aftercare and 2 months later it still looks brand new. For as long as I live in the Bradenton area- I’ll be going back to him for future tattoos.

Jess did amazing on my first tattoo, fast and easy, will definitely be coming back!

Definitely recommend coming here for any kind of piercings . I’ve had more than 5 done here and always left with a smile on my face. Ryan was terrific today , explained the process of what he was doing and was very gentle. If you want anything or maybe have questions they are here for you ☺️

Jes was absolutely amazing!! One of a kind and fit me perfectly. If you want a gator tattoo, go to her! The whole shop is full of really talented artists and the vibe is immaculate.

Nurse Cathy was so sweet and kind to my daughter getting her ear re-pierced. The shop is so clean and modern. Great experience and would highly recommend. We cannot wait to come back for more services.

Let me tell you a little non-fiction story about my experience at Classic Ink. It was just simply above and beyond all my expectations. The bedside manner with Jessica was just phenomenal never felt more comfortable in my life. The best and I mean abslute best part about it all I did not die!

Nurse cathy did an amazing job on my septum piercing! she was so patient and sweet and made it very comfortable! front desk staff was also super friendly!

Pollo was amazing he took his time to do the design and was very patient as I kept changing my mind and then he checked in to verify the dates before he tattooed it on me and all together he made my first tattoo so much better and less scary!

My experience was great! Everyone was very nice and I learned a lot of helpful information. Definitely will be coming again in the future for another piercing! Thanks again, Kathy!

Awesome staff and Jessica was an amazing artist who took great care of me on May the 4th!

Everyone is so kind and helpful. nurse cathy has done my last few piercings and she always makes me feel safe and comfortable.i will always come to classic ink for my body mod needs.

Absolutely amazing experience with this shop. I had previously had a tattoo done back home in Kentucky with a shop I had been at 3 times before. Lucky me I got the apprentice without being informed and he did not do the best job. Ohran performed magic and completely saved this needle and thread that I was about to cover up. The pictures speak for themselves. To say I’m ecstatic over this save doesn’t even begin to explain how I feel. Oh and I did still get the “cover-up” piece done, the line work is phenomenal. Couldn’t recommend this shop enough!

Pollo did an amazing job in a very specific tattoo for me and it was a cover up! Love it and I would highly recommend him!!!

Just got 2 more tattoos by Pollo Vazquez and as always, he did a fantastic job! That’s five he’s done for me now and I’ll still be going back! Thanks Pollo for always doing EXACTLY what I want and doing it phenomenally!

Had an appointment with Duncan and he did better than expected. Very pleased with how the tattoo came out and highly recommend the business. Clean, professional, would recommend and will be back.

Nurse Cathy is an amazing piercer! She makes you feel comfortable, has a clean work environment and plenty of experience to make you feel like you are in the right place for your piercing. Thank you Nurse Cathy!

I had a nose piercing done and my daughter had a belly piercing. Nurse Cathy did a wonderful job on both. Thanku very much. Definitely will be back.

Ryan was awesome! He was so thorough, talked through everything step by step, and was so thoughtful and caring! 100% recommend him for all of your piercing needs!

Duncan was treat throughout the whole process, he walked through any questions i had and made sure i was comfortable. The whole thing was smooth and quick 10/10

Nurse Cathy was absolutely amazing. She is so kind and polite and funny! This is definitely a safe space with fun people. I will be back for sure

I got pierced by Nurse Cathy and it was the best experience I’ve ever had at a shop! She’s very quick and has calming energy, would definitely recommend her.

Cathy was amazing with our daughter. Quick and painless ear piercing for our 11 year old and a beautiful parlor. Highly recommend.

Had a great session with Pollo! He was attentive to our needs and communication was great for execution of the perfect tattoo for all three of us!

Jes completely reworked an old tattoo that I was unhappy with. Her art is beautiful and she helped me create an amazing design that incorporated all my ideas. I’ll be back and am so happy to show off my new art!

Excellent shop! Got my nose pierced by Nurse Cathy. She was so knowledgeable and helpful. Will definitely be a repeat customer!

Had been looking for a tattoo shop since moving to Bradenton. So glad I found Classic Ink. Jess did an amazing job! Highly recommend!

Nurse Cathy is absolutely amazing. She did a lip piercing for me shark bites for a friend today. Her witty banter had me giggling the entire time. She was absolutely amazing with my friend who warned her that he passes out when getting pierced. She made sure to catch him when he inevitably passed out and made sure to have him rest and drink water and only proceeded when she was assured he wanted to continue. Thank you so much for that! She was incredibly informative about care steps and what to expect during the healing process. I will definitely be coming back to her for my next piercing.

Excellent service! I was able to walk in and get my tattoo and out the door in about an hour. I highly recommend Classic Ink Tattoo!

Can’t say enough good things about classic ink! Everyone is so friendly and professional. I’ve had amazing experiences with Lee and Jess and I will definitely be back! Thanks for the rad art 🖤

It was quick and easy and she made it fun talking about the piercing process. She was funny and awesome and she will be doing my next piercing. Thank you NURSE KATHY.

This shop is the cleanest tattoo shop I have ever seen with the nicest people. But what makes it really awesome is an artist named Ohran. Don’t go anywhere else but straight to Ohran at Classic Ink for your next Tattoo. My husband I will never go anywhere else ❣️

Just got a ghostface tattoo and absolutely love it!!! Duncan did an awesome job and added some much needed detail to what I originally showed him. I will definitely be getting back in with him in the future! Amazing job Duncan! I couldn’t be happier. Ive gotten my ears pierced here before from Nurse Cathy! She is also amazing! This studio is amazing from the comics and figurines to the professionalism of the staff! I’m so glad this place is in downtown Bradenton ❤️

Love Nurse Cathy so much! Got my daith done and a replacement for my tragus piercing. So kind and funny. Will definitely be back!

I just got my first tattoo and I would recommend this shop to anyone! I walked in and spoke with the very helpful front desk member who paired me up with Pollo. Pollo is absolutely amazing! I had a bit of a strange request. Pirate Crab anyone? Pollo worked with me to put some concepts together and he made it come to life in spectacular fashion. Pollo is an incredible artist but also meticulous about his cleanliness and craft. I will be back for more and I will definitely be seeing Pollo again. Thanks for my amazing pirate crab “Captain Kingler”

On June 23rd I received my birthday piercing and it was my first time as a newbie. The piercer for the evening was named Cathy a d she did a phenomenal job of educating me.

Wonderful experience! Went for the May the Fourth be with you event and Duncan did a fantastic job! He was able to take 3 people in my party no problem for walk ins.

Ryan was Amazing and made me feel so comfortable and gave me so much information on my new piercing!

Ohran has been doing my work and love the outcome and professionalism.

Got my Nipples pierced by Ryan and he was lovely. Very informative, friendly and quick! Hygiene was also great, and I love that he cleaned everything in front of me. It gave me a piece of mind that the equipment was actually sanitized. I will DEFINITELY be going back to him for all my other piercings.

Came in as a walk in today and sat with Duncan and got a hand tattoo. Very progressional and friendly guy and environment. Highly recommended!

She was very nice and reassuring. Will definitely come back to her if I get another peircing!

By far the best tattoo experience I’ve ever had! Definitely the place to go in the area! Duncan is the best!

Pollo is an awesome artist! He is professional and amazingly creative! He takes pictures/ideas and customizes to the individual and is super easy to be around. He did such a great job on one tat I trusted him to give me a sleeve! Look him up!

Nurse Cathy was amazing. Very knowledgeable and kind. Would absolutely use her again!

This is my second tattoo I’ve gotten from Pollo and he is just awesome! Super sweet guy that delivers with his work!

Stellar work! Jess worked with an idea I had and made it a reality! Everyone was friendly and attentive. Great price and quality work.

First, the shop is amazing. The entire staff are friendly and helpful. Jess is an amazing tattooist and artist and I highly recommend her. Classic ink is the only tattoo shop Ill ever go to.

Jes did an amazing job on a Polynesian sea turtle on my left shoulder. Parlor is clean, professional, and inviting. She took the time to make sure she knew exactly what I wanted and truly went the extra mile with colors. I will definitely be back!

I walked in Classic Ink for a tattoo and I was greeted immediately. Jes did my tattoo and she’s AMAZING and funny.

Mike Paul was great. He gave my sister and I matching tattoos in honor of our mom. You guys rock. Also, the comic book store in the front is cool.

Thank you Brandon for my favorite tattoo ever!!!!

Ryan did my daughters piercing and it was flawless and painless! Thank you!

Everyone at this shop is awesome and would highly recommend.Lee and Ohran did the stellar tattoos in the photos.

(Ryan did my piercing!) I had an amazing time the person who did my piercing was awesome and they were so funny the jokes they made were hilarious and I loved my experience they made me feel much more comfortable and safe. They explained to me what would be done what to expect and over all how to take care of my septum piercing! (I dont know how they apply so to be respectful I am using gender neutral pronouns) over all an amazing experience and thank you so much!❤️

My mom, brother, and I got our first tattoos with Ohran. He was super kind, reassuring, and patient. He did a fabulous job!

Kathy was the BEST! She was very informative and made the experience easy.

Got pierced by Cathy and am so happy with my piercings. She made the process so easy and quick. She made me so comfortable and answered all my questions. Will definitely be going back! She also pierced both my little sisters and they are just as happy as I am.

Came here to get my ear lobes pierced. I was helped my Nurse Cathy, she made the experience quick, and was very informative! I will come again for my next piercing

Ohran did an amazing job on my sternum piece. I cant wait to get the coloring done!

Great experience every time! Ryan pierced me and my 13 year old daughter. I love how he answers her questions and gives advice based on experience. Great place to take kids and teens. They are very knowledgeable and do not cut corners.

Cathy was super nice!! And it was a quick and easy piercing!

Being here was nice and welcoming, and plus the people didn’t treat me like a kid and talked like we were both just people.

Very friendly, clean shop! I had the pleasure of getting to work with Jessica Specht and she is amazing. She listened to what I wanted and she does excellent work. I’ve been to her 3 times now and I’m sure I’ll be back in the near future.

I had pollo as my artist for my first tattoo ever and it looks amazing! He’s extremely talented. I’m obsessed.

I had a backing from a new piercing fall out, because I messed with it. Britt was very helpful with the process, very welcoming personality and great with answering any questions and concerns you might have .

Its a great shop. The staff, piercers, and artists all had a great vibe. Everyone was super helpful and efficient dealing with all their walk-ins. Jess is an amazing artist and absolute machine when it comes time to actually tattoo.

Very thorough and super professional. So glad I came here! Perfect experience!

Ohran did an amazing job!! Super talented, listened to everything I wanted. Was super light handed too!

Jess was incredible from start to finish.. what a great spot, clean, professional, and a lot of fun. You made my wifes first tattoo experience a great one. We will be back.

Came in as a walk-in with my best friend and were able to get a matching tattoo super quickly on a Monday! Thank you so much! Will be back for Star Wars next time!

Pollo perfected yet another fine line tattoo. I know if I want a nice looking tattoo that holds up for years he’s the guy to go to. I threw some ideas at him and he came up with the perfect piece. Highly recommend!!!

Got my first tat here! lovely people, would 100% recommend :)

Amazing tattoo done by pollo! very kind and understanding with fantastic work!

Nurse cathy was very nice and helped me thru my piercing

Ohran created exactly what I for in my first tattoo and was very chill and casual I would recommend him for your first tattoo.

Ryan did my daughter’s piercings… he was PHENOMENAL! He was funny, personable and explained everything to the girls. Shop was fun and eclectic but very clean. We will go back here for sure. Thank you Ryan for doing such a great job!

Ohran did my tattoo and he absolutely killed it!! Go to him for all your fine line needs, thanks again!!

Ryan pierced my 7 year old daughter’s ears and he was great! He answered any questions we had and made her feel so confident and comfortable! Would highly recommend!

FANTASTIC service!! This was my first tattoo and it was an awesome experience.

Ive been here so many times and they are amazing! highly recommend!!!

Want to compliment Ryan on excellent job piercing my daughters ears. She is so proud of her new look! She had no bleeding, swelling or discomfort, and healed completely in 3 weeks. We had a wonderful experience at the studio. Thank you for being so patient and gentle!!

Nurse Cathy was very nice and funny, she did good.

Brandon Sommers is the owner and is a terrific tattoo artist. My friends and I all wanted tattoos o ln Friday 13th, and he was very accommodating to all of us at the same time. I even got to get another tattoo I had been wanting because he came in earlier than the shop opened. Thats what I call service. However, the art here is the real service, and its always on point every time.

Brandon does all my work. I cant say enough good things about him as a person and the work he does not to mention the staff at the shop. Family shop atmosphere with everything from my childhood mixed in from the comic shop. Would highly recommend classic ink if youre looking for work done or just to shop for comics/Collectibles.

The wait was a bit on the longer side but i’m obsessed with my ear piercings! 10/10 recommend! would definitely come back.

Such a wonderful experience! This was my second time visiting Ryan, one of the piercers at Classic Ink. He fixed a piercing that I was struggling with because it was too small. Then on my second visit I got an upper lobe and daith piercing. I was nervous about getting two piercings in one visit but I trusted him and he let me borrow a plushy s’more to squeeze since I was there alone. I’ve got about 14 piercings in my ears and these were the easiest ones so far. Will definitely be back!

My mom and I both got matching tattoos in honor of my father who passed when I was a baby. Duncan was our artist and he was so welcoming and patient with us! We had never gotten tattoos before and he talked us through the whole experience. Was super gentle and quick! Every was super nice too and when I visit Florida again I will definitely be going back. Whole experience was 12/10 and highly recommend!

Business owner WAS Phenomenal very light hand penmanship and artworkExquisite!!!! would recommend anybody.!!!!

Cathy was amazing getting my nose pierced highly recommend!!!

Everyone is so sweet, prices are reasonable, and customer service is great! Definitely recommend going here.

I absolutely love Classic Ink! Every person in this shop is always so personable. They really know how to make you feel comfortable and welcome. I have never had a bad experience here. If you’re looking for a new tattoo I would definitely recommend going to see Duncan and it’s always a pleasure to be stabbed with a needle by Kathy or Ryan. Keep it up guys!!

Ohran did a great job, saw the vision from beginning to the end!! Definitely coming back!!!

This place was so cool, awesome design and great people. Nurse Kathy did my nose piercing and told me step by step what was going to happen. Didn’t hurt and she went over all of the things that could go wrong. She was amazing and I’m happy I did it! Took this pic after a day at the beach I was a little burnt.

Nurse Cathy was amazing and so informative. Definitely will be back!

I got my first tattoo from here recently and I am more than pleased with my entire experience. From the moment I got there I was attended very professionally and responsibly. All the staff members up in the front answered any and all questions I had without hesitation.The shop and staff were very safe and clean. I looked up the shops page online and saw an artist I liked, Duncan Pressey. I gave Duncan some ideas for the artwork and he did better than I could imagine. Duncan Pressey made sure I was comfortable and happy throughout my entire session. Duncan was walking me through the process in a very helpful way making sure to answer any questions I had. He explained everything I needed to know prior, during, and after. He is a natural and Im thankful to have him do my first tattoo. Definitely will be coming back in the future. I had a wonderful experience and would recommend this shop to absolutely anyone.

My husband and I did a joint walk-in appointment and both received incredible ink.We had the pleasure of working with @pollotat2.My husband added to his current sleeve (and was able to have the artwork match his previous work) and I received a extremely fine-line detailed piece that wraps around my forearm, the artist free-handed mine and it is stunning.We are not from here, but definitely worth a flight from NH to come back! Thank you so much guys! 😊

Nurse Cathy was my piercer and I LOVED her!!!!

I got an amazing tattoo done at classic ink by Pollo Vazquez. Most amazing artist I have ever experienced. I gave him a photo of my grandfathers barn window and he was able to replicate it perfectly with wonderful details. I absolutely love it.I will going to see him again soon!

Pollo was great and did a fantastic job!! Will be back

Awesome experience Pollo was best tattoo artist I have had highly recommend

Great as always, the Star Wars flash event was awesome! Ask for Duncan!

It was amazing, staff was super nice and very professional!! Would definitely come back!!

Amazing experience amazing tattoo from lee! Would recommend 10/10

Jes is a fantastic and fun Artist.Very ProfessionalThanks again!

This shop is an 11/10!! All the artists are beyond talented, the piercers are so caring and attentive, overall an amazing experience!! Pollo does my grandmas work, she always leaves happy and excited for her next piece! Lee has done two tattoos for me that I absolutely LOVE! Nurse Cathy pierced my bilateral nostril piercing, with the assistance of Brit, and both were fantastic! Do yourself a favor and come to this shop for all your tattoo and piercing needs! Also, Tytans is a great place to shop for all your comics, pops, and collectables! Ty is super helpful and attentive to his customers 👍

This place is phenomenal! They worked me in as a walk in while I was on vacation. Pollo Vazquez gave me a beautiful souvenir in a little under 2 hours. He was expert level! It barely hurt at all and the tattoo healed remarkably quickly and well. Definitely 5 stars...would give more if I could! Ill be back on future trips!

Pollo did an amazingly excellent job at not only designing the tattoo, but also at coloring and doing the tattoo.First time ever at the shop & my wife, Marlena, and I both got tattoos the same day.Pollo blocked out the afternoon and evening to get these tattoos done before we went back home.Will definitely come back next year on our trip, for another amazing tattoo.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Everyone, from the moment you walk in the door is so friendly and helpful. They are knowledgeable and nice. My daughter wanted a septum piercing and I decided to get a nostril piercing. Nurse Cathy was easy to talk to, she checked and rechecked positioning and explained everything. My nose ring was kept falling down and showing in my nostril so I went back in and explained the situation. She explained that I should wait the full healing time but she didnt have a problem changing it when I asked if it could be done anyway. I will forever recommend and go here for any piercing needs.

Just got a belly piercing from Nurse Cathy…love her and her coworkers

Nurse Cathy is the ABSOLUTE best piercer ever! No one else I’d rather get a piercing from than her! 10000/10 she will educate you and make you feel so comfortable.

Absolutely the best service I’ve had in a long time. Ryan was friendly, helpful, and walked me through each step of my double nostril piercing. He made sure I had the best possible set up and helped me fix jewelry to another piercing. 10/10 recommend.

Jessica is professional, honest, and most of all, incredibly talented! I had a large piece being worked on for several hours and it was the most comfortable I’ve ever been in a tattoo shop, the piece ended up looking amazing, with perfect line work. She even made sure at the end of the session to check over my piece multiple times to make sure every line was perfect. If anyone is looking for an amazing artist, I highly recommend seeing her!

This is my go to shop for any tattoos or piercings! Excellent service every time I go in. Pollo is an amazing tattoo artist! Goes above and beyond and makes sure everything is to your liking. I’ve gotten several tattoos by him and I love every single one!

Jessica did a really great job, she spent a good amount of time on my tattoo. It looks absolutely fantastic.I also went to Nurse Cathy to get my nose pierced, and even though it was on their special piercing deal day, she took the time to give me a nice piercing. Its healed up well, and if I get anymore piercings I will be coming back to her.

Duncan gave me my 1st tattoo. I will def will be back! Thank you Duncan!!!

I got my first tattoo!!! Done by Jessica whom I may say is AMAZING, she is professional but also very friendly an comforting. I was extremely nervous an she calmed me down all while making sure I was informed. If you go to get a tattoo I definitely recommend her! My tattoo looks perfect an she was extremely encouraging of my pickiness. Thanks again JESSICA!!!

I found this shop to get my first tattoo from all the good google review. So I messaged the owner to do a black and grey tattoo and he recommended Pollo. I showed Pollo what I wanted to get and he went above and beyond, the tattoo turned out way better than the pic I showed him. Pollo is my artist for sure, if I ever move, I will travel back to him every time I get a tattoo. He is the only artist I will go to. Worth every penny. Pollo does amazing work

Nurse Cathy was amazing and took her time!

Jessica did a fantastic job with my tattoos. She was very helpful in my decisions. I cant wait to come back and get another one.Im overall happy with the entire service of the establishment. The friendliest and coolest people around.

Jessica is absolutely fantastic! She is a real artist and was extremely knowledgeable. I asked to change my font size and tattoo position a couple of times before we began and she was so very patient throughout the entire process. She explained everything very clearly ahead of time and the care process afterwards. I couldn’t recommend her more!

I was fortunate to have my one and only tattoo done by Brandon. He developed a great design and made sure I was happy with all aspects of the design including size, placement and color. He was very patient and explained each step of the process. He really put me at ease. The woman who checked me in was very pleasant and efficient. I would highly recommend Classic Ink to anyone thinking of getting a tattoo.

Lee did a great job and made me feel super comfortable and I knew I could trust him. I hope to get more tats from him soon :)

Ryan was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. He made me feel right at home and helped me change out my septum and nose stud jewelry. 10/10 will return for my next piercing and I would love to have my next tattoo done by Classic Ink too!

Need a notary form for a tourist minor per FL state law despite both parents being present. Stupid. Nonetheless, piercing professional seemed more interested in her lunch than making money. Wouldnt get the form notarized anyways to give that business. 100% dont recommend. Go elsewhere where the vibe is better.

American Traditional Gypsy TattooLee was my artist and if I could give more than five stars I would! The design he came up with for me, far exceeded my expectations and he did everything to make sure I was not only happy with the design but comfortable during the entire tattoo experience. I have gotten many tattoos and this was by far the largest, but also the least painful (Tattoos always hurt, but Lee made sure not to push it too far and over stress my skin and has a light hand). We completed the tattoo in two sessions and I could not be more happy! Hes an American Traditional Genius :) Also, all the staff are kind, courteous, helpful and extremely safety conscience. I will be using Classic Ink again in the future for sure!

My wife and I called in got an appointment and worked with giving Jessica ideas and she came up with amazing products. Came in and everyone in the shop was great. Very friendly staff and Jessica made the whole process from start to finish wonderful. Even when in the chair shes entertaining and fun to talk to! Would highly suggest working with her on getting your tattoos!

Jess was super quick and beyond awesome! We were visiting Sarasota on vacation and decided to get a tattoo before we left. We walked into Classic Ink and Jess was more than willing to get me helped out quickly. My tattoo turned out awesome! If we come back to Sarasota I will definitely stop in again!

My daughter is 16 and we went to Classic Ink Tattoo. Before we came I did my research. We came from Illinois to do this. Jess did her tattoo and she did a amazing job. It was worth the drive and money for the experience. Jess is truly a amazing artist, no regrets. We wanted something different then the regular tattoo shop and Classic Ink definitely didnt disappoint. The shop was so cool and clean and professional. I give it 10 stars if we could. Highly recommend.

I’ve gotten every piercing I have here because the staff is always so nice and informative, and really make you feel like you’re in good hands. I’ve also gotten two tattoos from Lee, who was also super nice and is super talented in traditional style tattoos. I also feel like I have to mention the awesome art, comic book, jewelry, collectable, etc. selection. Can’t recommend this place enough.

I love this place and i don’t go anywhere else for piercings

My husband and I were down in Florida visiting and wanted to get a tattoo last minute before we headed back home! As soon as we walked into the shop Lee welcomed us and helped make our tattoo come reality, he was honest every step of the way of what would look the best and had a lot of patience while we decided on what we wanted! His friendly / outgoing personality is what made the experience easy! I was so nervous to get a tattoo seeing this one was my first one and he talked me through each step and made me feel comfortable through the whole tattoo process! Wasn’t painful at all! I highly recommend LEE! If we ever go back to Florida and want a tattoo we know where to go and who to trust.. LEE! Thanks again for everything!

This is by far my favorite studio for piercings or tattoos!all of the staff is extremely nice and willing to help with any tattoo or piercing issues, regardless of if its their own work or not.Ryan has pierced my septum and nostril beautifully without any healing problems, and has also done my boyfriends daith in the same manner.Jess was wonderful when doing my tattoo (fresh picture included), always making sure i was okay and comfortable.they all provide accurate aftercare instruction sheets as well as their contact information in case any problems arise. very professional and clean all around.

I had Jess do my first tattoo and was welcoming and nice. I was able to get in quickly. She was creative and gave me a lot more than i expected, tattoo came out way better than i would have expected. Will for sure be coming back soon.
