Forever Gallery Tattoo

Matt was amazing! He captured my idea so well! He was very professional, personable, and enjoyable to work with. It turned out great and has plenty of room for if we end up having any more kiddos! I am so excited to see how it heals and for future tattoos! I would highly recommend Forever Gallery and Matt to anyone who asks!

Matt did a fantastic job! I wanted the design changed and he was patient while working with me to get it just how I wanted! The tattoo turned out better than I ever could have imagined! Will recommend to everyone and never go anywhere else!

Zach was absolutely amazing, genuinely the best tattoo experience I’ve ever had. I was not exactly the easiest to tattoo, unfortunately the twitches got the best of me but Zach was patient and made me laugh the entire 2 hours even when I was frustrated with myself for twitching. Even after all of that my tattoo still looks absolutely perfect. I will absolutely be coming back, thank you so much!

Hannah Schriner at Forever Gallery has now given me 6 new tattoos in the past two months. During my most recent appointment, I brought my mom with me for special matching tattoos. It was my mom’s first tattoo, and Hannah did a great job of explaining aftercare and answering all of her first-time questions. Hannah is also very welcoming and kind, which helped us both have a calm and enjoyable experience. She does great clean line work and is very artistic. She really saw my vision for each tattoo and executed them better than I could have imagined. I have found my new go-to tattoo artist. See the attached pictures for evidence of her talent.

This is by far the cleanest and best tattoo shop I’ve been to. The atmosphere is very relaxed and they make you feel comfortable! Hannah is insanely talented and designs beautiful tattoos! Highly recommend both Hannah and this shop as a whole! I definitely plan on coming back!Update: I’ve gotten a total of 3 tattoos from Hannah- the tarot, the planchette, and the crystals! I absolutely adore them and the artwork! I can’t recommend her enough!!

Hannah is amazing in every way! I wanted a cover up on my sternum and I gave her vague ideas of what I was wanting and she brought my vision to life! Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect tattoo artist (she’s not heavy or light handed, consistently perfect the whole way through)

I got this tattoo done a few months ago, and I have to say that I LOVE it! Forever Gallery Tattoo is a wonderful place to get tattoo work done. It is very clean and incredibly inviting. My tattoo artist, Michael Hockman, did a fantastic job and I couldnt be happier! Working with Michael was a great experience. He does amazing work and is professional. Since this piece was for my grandmother it meant a lot to me that it was done right, and he nailed it. I loved how he was able to take an idea that I had and somehow pull it from my head. It was what I had envisioned and more. It was great that he had added his own flare and ideas to make this piece even better. I will definitely be going back!

Hannah did a wonderful job with my three fine line tattoos. Not only was she committed to giving me quality tattoos but, she also made sure they were ones that I loved! She was extremely accommodating, and her work was well worth her already reasonable prices. Hannah was time efficient, clean, and made the whole experience a positive one. Highly recommend and will be back!

I met Grace via a mutual friend and had mentioned that I wanted to finish a sleeve that I had started during 2020. Grace has been so easy to talk to and work with. She never made me feel obligated towards one idea or another, but also, after having viewed her incredible work, I went in for my first session with her not knowing what she was going to add to my sleeve (I asked for it to be a surprise). I was blown away by her creativity and talent, and I can 100% put my trust in her knowing that she will create a piece of art that fits me and what my ink goals are perfectly. I was convinced she was absolutely capable of capturing what I wanted, and didn’t question giving her the flexibility to bring her own ideas and creativity to the table. The shop itself is clean. Laid back. Quiet. Good vibes. Great people, and atmosphere. She is so good at recognizing when your skin is starting to become irritated and it may be time for a break. My favorite part is how excited she always is about what she’s going to do that session, she’s just as passionate as I am about what’s about to be tattooed! I’m so glad I met Grace!

So if you guys are in the surrounding areas or in Carmel, definitely check out this shop!!! Specifically check out Grace. She is the sweetest, funny, dope human you would ever meet. Grace has been tattooing me for the past 2 years. I drive 45 minutes to get tattooed by her & my expectations are always exceeded. Grace listens to everything you say & tries her absolute hardest every time to kill it, & she does ;) I just honestly can’t say enough good things. Def check her out!!!!!

Forever Gallery is the best tattoo shop Ive been to. Its bright, clean and modern. Grace is an amazing tattoo artist! Shes done a custom piece and an original flash piece for me. Shes phenomenal at black & grey with stipple shading, and she knocks out beautiful color tattoos, too. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend this shop, and the artists here are all super talented. Ive gotten three pieces done by Hudson, and Im blown away every time. He always adds his own research and flair to the design of the tattoos that I absolutely love! I will be coming back to Hudson with all my future ideas. :)

Michael and Matt are two of the most professional tattoo artists Ive come across! Before they opened Forever Gallery together I had the privilege to hangout with them for over a year at their former parlor whilst getting my sleeve done. Mike has always been my artist personally so Ill mainly write this review about him, but I can promise you that both these guys can and WILL get the job done.I think the most important aspects of the artist-client relationship is collaboration and comfortability. You want your artist to understand your view on a piece but you also want them to give you their professional opinion before making it permanent. You also want to trust your artist, to know that they want the very best out of your artwork. I came to Mike with some ideas for a sleeve, not really knowing what path it would end up taking and it was amazing to be able to collab with someone who had all the right insight while still maintaining the ideas that I desired. In one year we finished my entire colorful sleeve and I couldnt be more satisfied!Cleanliness is another extremely important factor with tattoos and let me tell you, it feels like being in a luxury hospital with these guys. Everything is fresh, sterile, and their workspaces are completely spotless while still sporting their personal decor. Ive been to a few tattoo parlors and none came anywhere close to how clean these guys are. Plus Mike always has new tattoo-friendly creams and soaps every time you show up so you know hes trying to give you the absolute best experience possible!Lastly, before I sign off on this review, I want to mention their personalities. I dont think Ive ever had more fun being in pain than when these guys are chatting it up in the booths. It may take a few sessions to get comfortable with someone new, as with any interaction, but once youre in its like being amongst your best friends. On the opposite side of that, if youre not into conversation, these guys will not mess with your vibe. Theyll check up on you periodically to make sure youre doing alright, or youll have Mike apologizing every five seconds because the elbow isnt a fun place to get tatted lol. Whatever your poison, these guys will work with it. Thats the beauty of it all. These guys will work with your vibe.As far as pricing is concerned, its pretty fair for what youre getting. Sure, you could go to some rinky-dink (cant believe I just typed that) tattoo shop that isnt super clean or 100% professional and spend $100 on something. Or you can live it up in luxury and pay $150 for that same something. I think we all know its worth it to save up and spend that extra $50, and if you didnt know that, you do now!Give these guys a shot at your next piece of artwork! They wont let you down!11/13/20 UPDATE: I am so joyful for Mike and Matt these days as their tattoo parlor is just getting better and better! Their art gallery will blow your mind and you absolutely shouldnt miss it, even if you arent interested in getting tatted up! I actually have booked my own 6 week show next June and Im excited to showcase my own artwork inside this amazing environment. As far as updates go with regards to my full sleeve, Im adding some more pics to this review for your viewing pleasure! Everything I wrote above is still 150% true and legit, so PLEASE dont hesitate to get your ink at Forever Gallery. Theres no better feeling in the world than seeing the art of your desires perfectly represented on your body!!

Super clean and well lit tattoo shop with great artists! Plus some rotating fine art on the walls. The place feels CLEAN. Which is important if you want needles to repeatedly brake your skin to insert ink. And so it feels good coming in here.And the art is fantastic. Everyone that works here is fantastic. Grace did multiple outstanding tattoos on me. She is technically skilled and works quickly. Thanks!!!

My review is solely based on Michael Hockman and no one else at the shop. I placed a deposit as well as paid for a gift certificate to the shop and booked with Michael for a coverup. Michael cancelled the appointment three time, twice the day of and the last time the day before. We had a very candid conversation after the second cancellation that it could not happen again do to me taking off work, but he still cancelled the third time. He told me he would provide a refund and after over a week still has not done so. Do not send any money to Michael or book with him if you want professionalism or to actually be tattooed.For reference, Michael agreed to pay these funds April 2, and as of August 19 no money has been returned.I did briefly consider working with Michael after the three cancellations, but after reading other reviews and experiences decided not to as it is not the first time he has done this and he has left people with half finished tattoos.A review was also left on Facebook by myself. After this, Michael blocked me from the shops page and sent another email blaming me for his shortcomings. No solution has been offered and he once again said he would get back to me.

I recently got my outline for my nordic ravens done by Hannah here. She did a fantastic job. All the artists here are very approachable and great at what they do. They are honest and I will be getting many more of my tattoos done here. If anyone wants a great artist or is looking for animal tattoos ask for Hannah!!

Grace is my girl!!!! She has completed many pieces but the main event is a truly spectacular thigh piece she designed just for me. We chatted about concept and the sentiment and she captured it 100%! The shop is nice and clean, good music, and great conversation! Highly recommend

Matt is very talented and does great line work! I love my tattoo!!

I would absolutely recommend Forever Gallery to anyone looking for a tattoo spot in Indy. I got 3 smaller tattoos done with Hannah who was incredible! The shop was very bright and clean - it was a gorgeous day so the door was open and it was so inviting. Ill absolutely be back for any future tattoos!

This place is beautiful and I love that the name is kinda a pun. The tattoo shop is very well designed and decorated to where everything is functional yet efficient. Would totally recommend others to check out the artist here (Grace is the BEST)!! The art work is absolutely beautiful and totally gallery worthy.

Kayla Taylor is an amazing tattoo artist. She listened to what I wanted, came up with the font and I am thrilled with how it turned out. For someone getting their first tattoo at the age of 51, this experience could not have been better. Kayla tattooed five of us in total and we have all referred people to her because it was such a great experience. Forever Gallery was bright and pleasant and Kayla kept everyone relaxed. We were planning our next visit before we left The first!

Update 4/21I swear everytime I go back here, the studio and Michael just get better. I literally consulted with Michael with a vague idea, he draws it up (after a few tattoos together), and I trust him so much I dont even need to see it before walking in because I know he understands what Im going for. When I walk in, what he has drawn up is perfect. We make extremely minor tweaks.He is so great during the sessions. I scheduled 5 hours and didnt realize how hard the spine would be. He totally got it when I maxed out halfway through, found a great stopping place, and scheduled me for a 2nd session to finish.Ive never felt so comfortable and confident with an artist. Michael is made for this - patient, kind, personable, talented, sincere, and just incredible. I dont think I could ever see another artist after him. He is absolutely amazing and the best artist you could ever ask for.Im also walking out of this tattoo with a gorgeous piece from the gallery. Body art and house art in the same place is hard to beat.You honestly cannot find a better guy than Michael or a better studio. I absolutely adore him. 100% recommendation through and through.This new studio is amazing. It is clean with a great waiting area, small art gallery, and tattooing cubes. Michael is a fantastic artist. He puts a lot of effort into designing pieces the way you want them. He makes sure youre comfortable during the session, and is very professional. We mesh well, he understands I like to put in headphones and zone out and is fine with that. This whole piece was about 2 sessions of 2.5 hours each - which is incredible for the level of detail.This was my third time being tattooed by Mike - definitely not last time. I followed him from his old shop because of the quality of his work. Id highly recommend him!

Amazing work from Kayla Taylor! 5 Star service. She has very light hands, didn’t feel like she was putting all her weight into the tattoo. Amazing detailed line work on my tattoo! Definitely coming back for more. Price was very fair and reasonable. Color choice were made by her and very tasteful. My friends all agree the tattoo done by Kayla was done professionally and tastefully. Would recommend for future tattoos

The studio was clean, the staff was very friendly and very accommodating and the work is very good. I will be getting my next tattoo here. Jess foes amazing work and Matt is very helpful. He was willing to answer all my questions and we setup my next tattoo.

Michael is the best! He does all of my husband’s tattoos and I trusted him to cover up a tattoo on my back shoulder. I sent him some pictures of what I liked and he sketched it up. It looks AMAZING! See before and after.

Grace is a fantastic artist. She did my Eeveelution tattoo (my first tattoo). She made sure I was comfortable and walked me through the entire process so I knew what was happening. She is very great to work with and I would definitely go to again if (who am I kidding, when) I get more.

I have to start out by saying my first tattoo experience wasn’t the best, and I’m so happy I decided to come here the second time around. Hannah asked about and listened to my first experience with compassion and made sure what happened then wasn’t repeated. There was also a glitch on my end with scheduling, and she was very understanding and accommodating to the best of her ability. She is also an amazing artist!!! She took her time, made lots of great recommendations for placement and appearance, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. The shop overall was also very well taken care of, appeared clean, and was very welcoming. I highly recommend this shop overall and Hannah as a tattoo artist!!! I definitely hope to come back in the future for more ink from her! :)

Matt and Michael have created a beautiful space that is sophisticated and inviting. The tattoo space and art gallery are very clean and well organized. It is truly a space that invites you to hang out for more than just an appointment, looking at art, listening to music, and watching tattoos being created first hand.

I spent a week looking through the Indianapolis, and surrounding areas for a tattoo artist Id click with. Im a Norse pagan so I was looking for an artist that would enjoy tattooing runes, and such. Luckily, I ended up coming across Forever Tattoo Gallery and selecting Hudson to schedule a tattoo with after reading through his bio and looking at his portfolio.Hudson is amazing at what he does, and is extremely easy to get along with. Hes not afraid of giving you his professional opinion because he wants to provide the best service possible to his clients. Ive had to reschedule a few appointments due to life getting in the way, and hes very easy to work with and get the appointment moved to a day and time that works. The other artists that Ive met at the studio are all friendly, and the atmosphere of the studio is blissfully tranquil, in my personal opinion. I continue to go back because I believe its one of the best studios you can find in Indiana.

Matt (owner) has been my go-to tattoo artist since before he had his own place. The vibe around getting a tattoo is so personal and varies from artist to artist and shop to shop that even though I now live in AZ when it was time for new ink I didnt hesitate to reach out for an appointment and make the pilgrimage back to Indy. Hes so good that of course he was booked out farther than I wanted to wait, but now that he has his own shop I trusted that any artists he brought on would fit in with my high standards and I was right. I booked with Hudson and he did not disappoint. He brought my sketch to life and made suggestions about color that turned out perfectly. The work itself is impeccable and he was easy to relax with throughout the session. Vibe check confirmed, two thumbs up and I will be back for more!!

Have had two tattoos done by Hudson Maynard and he has exceeding my expectations every time. His line work and attention to detail are really something to marvel at. When it comes to your own forever gallery, no one does it better than Hudson. He takes attention to detail and personal care to the next level in EVERY piece he does. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my tattoos like Hudson gets them done. He’s an artist and has had time to practice his craft to creative perfection, would recommend getting a tattoo from him any day. If you’re on the fence about getting a piece done by him, hop on the greener side and do it. All good vibes and great attitude from what I experienced at forever gallery.

Shop atmosphere is great. Grace is incredible at taking rough ideas and turning them into art. Currently working with her on designing my whole sleeve and have had a great experience.

BUYER BEWARE | Please note that this review is based upon my interactions with Michael Hockman and do not represent the entirety of the staff at Forever Gallery Tattoo. To summarize my experience so far, I began communicating with Michael about a Tattoo sleeve project back in August of 2023, to which I was excited to start with Michael as his portfolio showcases some amazing art and tattoos. In order to reserve this appointment, Michael required a $250 appointment deposit and a $500 art depositfor larger works. While he may be an exception artist, Michael lacks even basic communication skills and does not respect the customers time or interest. To continue down that trend, when it finally came time for my appointment, Michael informed me the day of my appointment of a family emergency and quickly worked with me to reschedule on a day of my preference. While I was originally not thrilled about the same day cancellation as I had already taken time off work for the appointment, I understand that family always comes first. Now fast forward to my rescheduled appointment... Not thinking that I would need to check with someone who set an appointment, I made the approximate 2 1/2 hour drive from Dayton Ohio to Carmel Indiana with excitement to get started on this tattoo. However, when I arrived at Forever Gallery Tattoo, instead of being greeted by Michael, I was informed that yet another family emergency had occurred and my appointment was cancelled. When I mentioned to Michael the frustration I felt in this, it was his opinion that somehow this was my fault. After some discussion, Michael did Venmo me $200 for both Gas and Food and implied he would reach out at a later time to reschedule again. Now coming full circle since the second cancellation... Michael has completely Ghosted me in any attempt to reschedule this appointment over the course of weeks from the last cancellation. In my last message to Michael I even requested a refund of the $750 deposit, as it simply appeared he was to busy to be bothered. Currently, Im under the presumption that ive been robbed of $750 and days of my limited off time. In todays day and age, it shouldnt be anywhere as this difficult to work through a Tattoo process.

I cannot say enough awesome things about Hannah and the tattoo that I got last week. Its a large back/shoulder fine line tattoo and impeccable. Hannah made me feel very comfortable during the long appointment and gave me plenty of breaks, plus just made the whole thing fun. I go back in a few weeks for the final line work and some shading and cant wait to book my next tattoo with Hannah!The studio was very clean and comfortable also, with great light and the personal touches of each artist hanging up around us.

Forever Gallery has been the best tattoo experience Ive ever had. Hudson is a fantastic artist who takes the extra time and effort to make sure that the final product is perfect and exactly what you want. He also made me feel incredibly comfortable. So far Ive gotten two tattoos from him and I cant imagine ever getting a tattoo from any other artist in the future. Highly recommend him and the team at Forever Gallery.

Forever Gallery is the cleanest tattoo shop I have ever been in! And, I can’t say enough good things about Kayla. From the beginning, she listened to my ideas, took my inspiration photos, and created an amazing piece of art that was exactly what I wanted. This was the first time that a tattooist has completely accommodated my ideas without trying to change it all around to fit their preferences. She allowed me to sit and listen to my audiobook while she worked, and accommodated any need to reposition. Her ability to get perfect fine lines and detail are amazing. We added my late brother’s handwriting into the design, and it was perfect. I highly recommend Kayla!

I have had amazing tattoos at this gallery, both by Grace. The shop itself is bright, with beautiful art. The artists are professional, personable and very encouraging to each other and their patrons. Grace has a long term customer in Mr, her art is beautiful and she takes such great care of me. I cant wait to go back and see her.

Grace did a great job on all of my sessions. Currently working on a sleeve and she takes time to know her clients needs. I recommend her to anyone that asks about my tattoo. Her art is super awesome!The place is clean and has a great chill vibe. Def go here if you want some work done.

Hannah did an amazing job with my tattoo! I got a fine-line daisy chain on my ankle (sorry, no free feet pics.) She was spot on with a time estimate & how much it would cost. The tattoo has healed up great & it’s exactly what I wanted. Hannah was recommended to me by several of my co-workers & I’d recommend her to others too!

Amazing place! Art gallery and tattoo studio staffed with amazing and talented artists. My family and I meet with Hudson to get his input on new tattoos. I presented my initial ideas and he knocked it out of the park with his concepts. Hudson walked me through his tattooing process and was great to work with. Two tattoos in one month with more to come.

I had my first tattoo done by Michael and he did an amazing job. The studio was very clean, had a great atmosphere and I felt comfortable right away. Michael was very easy to work with and my tattoo came out better than I ever imagined! 10/10 would recommend this place to family and friends.

I did a walk-in appointment with Hannah - she. was. awesome! She did a wonderful job creating a beautiful design and tattooed me really fast. Her rates are very fair and shes just an overall cool person. Definitely recommend!!

A really nice shop with great people. Kayla is so great! Does great work and helps actualize ideas. She has done 90% of my tattoos now and I would be hard pressed to name a more creative and fun artist.

Hannah did my first 2 tattoos in December ‘22 and I can’t say enough good things about my experience. I wanted a whimsical, floral piece with my son’s birth month flowers on one arm and a small pair of birds on the other arm (my sister got birds to match too).Hannah looked at all my inspiration photos and used them to create a design that was better than I could’ve imagined. She sent me the design the night before and made tweaks based on ideas I had until it was perfect.If you want fine line work, especially botanical/ animals/ anything nature related, Hannah is amazing. She’s also just delightful to hang with while she works! I already have more ideas for my next tattoo and I can’t wait to go back to see her.

Hannah S. did an amazing job on my tattoo. It was my first one so I didn’t know what to expect. She helped me choose the spot for my tattoo and took so much time and care in finding the perfect placement for it. She made sure I was comfortable the entire time and did constant check-ins with me to make sure everything was alright. I can’t wait to get my next tattoo from her. She is truly an amazing artist!!

I had Grace as my artist and she walked me through the entire process since it was my first tattoo. She was very nice and my tattoo came out great! I would definitely get another tattoo done by her. The shop was clean, bright, and welcoming as well.

When it comes to tattoo artists, Grace Enstrom is THE BEST. Grace did both of my sleeves and my thigh piece, and every time I see them in the mirror, I think about how lucky I am to get to wear this amazing art around forever. Shes an extremely gifted visual artist and is able to bring ideas to life so beautifully. Shes thoughtful and intentional about the longevity of her work and carefully thinks through how her tattoos will age when designing each piece. As if that werent enough, she is also one of the most genuinely kind people Ive ever had the pleasure of meeting and makes the process easy and comfortable for her clients, whether its your first tattoo or your 50th. Ive been getting tattooed by Grace for 6 years now and have followed her through multiple shops in that time, and Forever Gallery is by far my favorite place shes been. Its welcoming, immaculately clean at all times, and full of other awesome artists who do amazing work as well. Highly recommend.TL;DR Forever Gallery is awesome and Grace is worth the wait!

I had my Tattoo done by Hudson and he is just awesome! His work is great and he is amazing at bringing your ideas to life in perfect ways.Hes so chill! For my first tattoo with him, I was freshly 18 and anxious but his calm demenor took all my worries away. I now have 4 Tattoos all done by him and I will 1000% be going back to him for more!

Great, clean, and welcoming place to go get a tattoo. I have gotten multiple tattoos from Hudson, and each time he does a great job with the multiple styles I have presented to him. Each time he has also done a wonderful job of capturing my vision from the references I have provided. So, yes I highly recommend coming here whether its your 1st or 50th tattoo.

I absolutely love this shop and Kayla is the best! If you’re looking for an amazing artist, clean and comfortable environment, and the best service you’ll ever receive I 10000000% recommend Kayla and Forever Gallery. The environment as a whole is very welcoming and Kayla always comes up with amazing pieces for our sessions. I went to Kayla for the first time for my eighteenth birthday to get a very important tattoo to me (we’re also currently working on a leg sleeve that I have given her complete artistic freedom with) and I’m so glad I did because she absolutely kills it every time and I can’t wait to continue to work with her until we run out of spaces to fill with her beautiful artwork 💕

I met Hannah years ago before she started tattooing and she was always such a talented and detail oriented artist. She was stellar to work with and worked with me to find the perfect way to incorporate different ideas/reference pics I had shown her. I’ve referred a handful of people to her and no one has been disappointed. 10/10 experience and I can’t wait to book again!

Highly recommend seeing Hudson for all your tattoo needs! I have been getting work done by him for several years and have never been disappointed. Hudson is always so patient when needed and excited for new projects i bring to him. Overall love Forever Gallery and wouldnt consider going anywhere else in the area for future work

Ive seen Grace Enstrom for the past several years as my artist and I can not recommend her enough. I followed her to this studio when she used to work out of another shop and this place is so much better. Its clean, beautiful, I love the art on their walls, and they have booths that are more private and can close the curtains when needed, a must when we did my sternum tattoo recently. She did all the flowers across my shoulders and arms and I get complements everywhere I go on her incredible work. I even brought my stepmom in to get her first tattoo and she can not stop raving about how much she loves it and how comfortable she felt in the studio and how at ease Grace made her feel. She will even use numbing spray if you need it!Grace is definitely my forever artist.

Ive had two pieces done by Hudson and I highly recommend him. He is attentive, informative, and really good. One can tell he takes his art seriously. He cares about his work and client. Forever Gallery is a clean and comfortable space as well. For anyone considering a tattoo, I definitely recommend Hudson and Forever Gallery Tattoo!

The shop is spotless and maintained to the highest standards.Definitely get work from any of the artists.I have gotten both small and HUGE tattoos from Grace.She is a phenomenal artist with excellent technical skills and a pleasant “bedside manner”.Highly recommend Grace, and this fantastic shop.

Ive used Matt for two tattoos and highly recommend him. Hes very knowledgeable and shares good information. He worked really well with my loose concept and it came together better than I imagined! The gallery location is easy to get to and very comfortable.

I have gone to Michael Hockman, for several years now, I found him when he was working for another company, and had him do, a 2 d tattoo of a butterfly landing on my shoulder, it turned out absolutely perfect, I have followed Michael, to his new studio, and I can honestly say, I would not want anyone else do a tattoo for me. Michael has done a total of 4 tattoos for me, including one that we did as a cover up. Michael is very honest and will help you design the perfect tattoo, with the right colors, if he feels you need more then one session because your lines are raising he will tell you, so your tattoo turns out the way you want it. He is easy to talk too, and definitely knows his art. I would recommend Michael, for your tattoo.

Hannah did an amazing job on my tattoo of the outline of my beloved fur babies. The whole experience was wonderful. I would highly recommend her, she was very professional and will definitely be going back to her .

I had an awesome experience getting my first tattoo and more at Forever Gallery! Kayla was amazing in her creativity to bring what I wanted to real life! She made me feel like the tattoo was not only special to me, but special to her. I loved the time and care she took to create what I wanted. I would go back to her every time!

Please take into consideration this review of my experience when considering a tattoo by Michael Hockman at Forever Gallery Tattoo in Carmel, Indiana. I found Michael to be unreliable and not devoted to the tattoo he agreed to do for me. In three months he cancelled six consecutive bookings leaving an incomplete tattoo on my upper back and shoulders. My initial booking went as scheduled with no problems. However, all subsequent bookings were cancelled the day of the appointment. Michael knew this tattoo had significant personal meaning to me and a choice I did not take likely as this was my first tattoo at age 55. He charged me $250.00 upfront for drawings that weren’t fully utilized on top of the $800.00 he charged upon completion of the four hour session; I even gave him a very generous twenty-five percent tip. Still, none of these things mattered to Michael. Now, I’m stuck with the hassle of finding another tattoo artist to complete the tattoo. I am a disabled veteran and really didn’t want to write this review about a fellow veteran. However, Michael had zero respect for my time, didn’t value me as a client, and the completion of my tattoo was unimportant to him.

Forever Galaxy Tattoo continues to exceed my expectations for quality tattoos and experiences. The shop is clean and inviting and the gallery enhances the experience. The whole staff is friendly and welcoming. Michael is the best! His work is true art that I’m proud to display any chance I get. I plan on going back soon for another piece!

Hudson has been doing my tattoos for years and I am never disappointed. Every new crazy, weird, fun, etc tattoo idea I come up with Hudson makes it his own and creates something amazing that no one else could replicate. He is also somehow the most relaxing artist ever. This man cures my anxiety. I couldnt recommend Hudson or this shop enough. They cant be beat!

I have now gotten two tattoos done by Michael and his artwork and quality are by far superior to any other tattoo artist that I have been to. He takes his time with his work, has amazing skills and ideas to help you get exactly what you want. Makes you feel comfortable, great conversation and a genuinely good person. No one else I would rather go to! I recommend Michael and all the other artist at Forever Gallery Tattoo for your tattooing needs. The shop is clean, in a great location and has some cool artwork on display inside!

I’ve been going to grace for almost a year now and can’t say enough good things about her! She’s amazingly creative and attentive to detail! If you want anything from fine-lines, magical vibes or florals she’s 100% your girl! She’s very gentle, (as much as you can be with a tattoo gun haha) patient and knowledgeable with her clients if they need a break or have any questions especially regarding the process of tattooing and aftercare. As a returning Client, I feel as though I’m in very safe hands while at this studio! The environment of forever gallery and overall beautiful work and morale of my artist here are just a few reasons why I will continue to come back, and why I will continue recommending Grace and forever gallery to everyone!

Today was my first time here, and after getting tattoos for years and spending time in multiple kinds of shops/private studios, I felt the need to praise this one for how clean, welcoming and comfortably private it is. Grace was my artist, and she was phenomenal! Will definitely be back!

I was tattooed by Hannah during her apprenticeship and it was such a good experience!! The shop was spotless and had a very chill vibe. Hannah was very thorough in her prep and stencil placement and the other artists there were very kind and willing to help. I will definitely be booking again in the future!!

Hannah was fantastic! and I’m already excited to go back for my next tattoo with her. Professional, talented, fun to talk to, and incredible work. The rest of the staff that has been there the last few times I went in are all VERY friendly and helpful too.

Forever gallery is a super dope place. I have had 5 different tattoo sessions with Hudson Maynard, who’s detail and flower work is incredible. He has taken my thoughts and ideas and designed it into a beautiful half sleeve. True artist.

Got a tattoo from bada$$ tattooer GRACE and she did an amazing job!! Steady hand, great color, and super fun to sit with for hours at a time. 10/10 will be back for more.

Absolutely love this place. I have 2 script tattoos from Hudson and a sword for Lord of the Rings from Hannah and I’m absolutely obsessed with both artists but Hannah’s style (specifically stipple shading) is so different from really anything Ive seen before. I sent her references and she drew out a beautiful tattoo that i couldnt be happier with!

Hudson is the guy to go to! Hes constantly improving his craft and is an incredible artist. He listened to my tattoo ideas and customized each one for me. Each time I was blown away with how well it turned out. I wont go to anyone else!

Michael is amazing! His work is stunning and doesn’t rush through the process. Although I only paid for two sessions, Michael is having me come back to do another one, at no cost, because he wanted to have more time to finish my piece. He genuinely cares about his clients and wants you to be happy with your final product. Not only is the shop clean, but it’s professional and a safe environment. I never have felt uncomfortable, even when being alone in the shop. Definitely recommend. Michael will forever be my go-to tattoo artist!

Ive been getting tattooed by Hudson for a couple years and he always exceeds my expectations. You can tell he is passionate about the work he does, he is very professional and takes the time to ensure each tattoo comes out great. I will continue to get tattooed by Hudson and always recommend him to anyone I know looking to get tattooed.

Really clean and beautiful. Truly felt like part tattoo shop/part art gallery. Everyone was super kind. My tattoos (by Zach) turned out great. I will definately be back when I am in town again!

Hannah was the artist who gave me my first tattoo, and she was absolutely phenomenal. I felt so comfortable, and Hannah made it a really painless experience! I’m so excited to go back and get another tattoo from them again!

I had a great experience here getting my first tattoo here. Hannah was the artist for my tattoo, and she did a wonderful job on it. I felt comfortable the entire time, and the piece turned out great. Thank you so much.

Forever Gallery is a professional establishment. I felt comfortable during my session and was impressed with the cleanliness of the environment. The artists were friendly and the overall experience was relaxing. Kayla was responsive, detailed, and embraced my ideas in our design. I highly recommend Kayla and Forever Gallery!

Michael is an amazing tattoo artist. He takes the time to get to know what you want and executes it flawlessly. He will be my go-to for all my tattoos going forward. I love that they feature local artists.Update 11/10: Went back for a bigger piece and it was such a fantastic experience. The vibe, conversation, and overall atmosphere were the icing on the cake. Michael’s work speaks for itself, plus he is super thorough. Michael ‘Soft Paws’ Hockman is going to be your go to artist.

I had such a fantastic experience with Michael and the rest of the Forever Gallery Tattoo gang. I got a pumpkin on my rib cage, and Michael went above and beyond to respect my privacy and comfort, even letting me use his sweatshirt to cover my chest. We chatted the whole hour and a half and he’s a genuinely good dude who cares a lot about his business and the work he does. Not to mention that the tattoo itself is gorgeous! This is my go to place and go to artist, I can’t recommend them enough!

I don’t know who owns this business but You need to get your workers to mind their own business. I had my dog in my car WITH THE AC ON to go get ice cream next door real quick and the woman had to audacity to ask if I was going to roll my window down for my dog? Would never recommend to anyone! Beyond flabbergasted

Michael Hockman has done several of mine and my families tattoos for the last few years! He is a great guy, professional, and does the most amazing work. My most precious tattoo done by him is something I had in mind for so long. He designed me something amazing, and it’s so clear that he cares how it looks, and takes his time on his work so that he makes something amazing. I have never been even close to disappointed with his work. I could not ask for someone better to make something life long for me! I seriously recommend him to anyone.

Grace has done an excellent job on all of my tattoos. I’ve been seeing her for the past 8 years. I will follow her to any shop she is at. If you’re looking for a great tattoo and a great experience, go see Grace at Forever Gallery!

The people here know what they’re doing! Michael is the most professional and talented tattoo artist I have ever met/seen. He is very kind and made me feel comfortable! Everyone that works here is very nice and encouraging. Not to mention the building itself has a very calm and comforting vibe to it. You will not regret going to this tattoo shop!

I booked a session with Kayla. She did an excellent job on my first tattoo. She took my feedback perfectly and put her own twist on my idea. The gallery is a great environment for anyone to get a tattoo. Its very clean, bright, comfortable, and the art around the studio is a great touch. If I choose to get another tattoo I will be back to see Kayla!

Absolutely recommend Forever Gallery Tattoo!! Kayla is amazingly talented and her work is unmatched. She was so sweet during the process and made sure I was completely satisfied before she began. I am so thankful for Kayla being apart of my very special tattoo!!

I struggled to find a place to go where i felt comfortable and could express myself. i saw some work that was done on a close friend of mine by hannah who at the time was an apprentice, it was amazing!!!!!! i messaged her and within the same hour she got back with me. she has now done 3 on my tattoos and they are my favorite. she is so easy to contact, and book with. super nice and fun to talk with. she listens to what you want and she does her absolute best to meet your desires. i would recommend her to anyone!!

Michael was awesome! This was my first tattoo and I went for a big piece. He put me completely at ease and was very aware of how I was doing throughout the entire process and adjusted as needed to keep me comfortable. I went to him with a concept and some photos and he designed a great custom tattoo that exceeded my expectations. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a quality tattoo and a great overall experience.

Been to Zach and Hudson, both are great artists, really cool to work with. Ill be back for more, definitely

My tattoo was fantastic! I worked with Michael and he did a great job - he updated my design efficiently and worked with me on positioning to make sure it looked perfect before it even went on. We have a followup in a couple weeks to finish up some details. Everyone was friendly and forthcoming regarding payments and appointment scheduling.I will say dont worry too much if texts arent answered immediately - these guys are usually booked pretty full up and they keep super busy. Just be persistent if you have something urgent to discuss with them!

The shop is great! Super clean and professional. The artists there are great people and Very talented! Grace is awesome! I have been going to her for years. Her work is top notch. She always makes the appointment fun and exciting. Highly recommend!

Hudson Maynard has done every single one of my tattoos and has exceeded my expectations every single time. His work is amazing and I recommend Hudson to everyone. If you are thinking about going to him, do it!!

A few weeks ago, I had a negative experience and posted about it on this review. Michael and Matt immediately reached out to me, despite the fact it was a Friday night, and worked as best they could to correct the experience I had. They validated me and went back over my tattoo free of additional charge. I would trust both Matt and Michael with my body, and I’m grateful to them. I’m proud that my hometown has artists who do business and care about their clients like Matt and Michael do.The studio is also the absolutely cleanest and well lit I’ve been to. Cute curtain additions lately, matching interior design, and little gallery.

I got my first tattoo done by Michael. He was very friendly and easy to talk to. He took my ideas and created them into a beautiful tattoo for me. He also gave me his ideas of his own which were phenomenal. It was a simple tattoo but he did a great job and I am very in love with it.

I was referred to Michael by a friend and checked out some of his other work through his Instagram @michaelhockmanart. I noticed that he had amazing attention to detail and took pride in his work. When I went in to get my tattoo, I was very pleased to see that Michael had already put in a lot of thought and effort into planning out my tattoo. He did an incredible job and far exceeded any expectations I had about my tattoo. I will definitely come back to Forever Gallery for more tattoos.

I went to Hannah for my first session there and everything was such a good experience! The store was very nice and clean and such a vibe. Hannah did a remarkable job on my tattoos. She definitely had a new client in me!

Ive been getting tattoos from the artist Mike since I was 18 and is the only artist I go to to get tattoos. I have two so far and plan to get my third in November and cant wait. Mike is an artist who creates amazing work and designs and I love showing off my tattoos to people and telling them where I got them. Mike is very professional, passionate, friendly, and helpful when it comes to tattoos. Not just only while getting the tattoo but also the aftercare process and helping to make sure your tattoos heal and turn out looking great. If youre thinking about getting a tattoo here from one of the artists, then I can definitely say youve made the right choice.

Can’t even put into words how much I love the piece Hannah did for me! Easily my new favorite tattoo. Definitely my go-to artist moving forward!

Hudson is amazing, he makes you feel right at home and goes at your pace. I will only go to him to get my tattoos he really listens to you and what you want and what he creates is always perfect. He is so talented!

I visit Grace for all my tattoo work at this beautiful gallery! Love the shop, its accessible with a great atmosphere. Grace is so damn creative and puts care into all of her work. Highly recommend!!

When you walk into this Galley/tattoo shop, it is like no other that you have experienced. It is a beautifully considered space to experience art and feel at home. Michael and Matt are incredibly talented artists that have opened up their space to show and celebrate other artists. They have created a unique space where all can expect to be welcomed and inspired! If you have not yet visited before, you need to make the time. You will not be disappointed!!

Mike Hockman has been tattooing me for 3 years. He is professional, creative, and not afraid to take his time to capture every detail of the tattoo. Outside of his professional tattooing, he is a GREAT artist. If you have a general idea of what you want, but don’t know where you want to go with it, he is able to use his creativity and artistic skills to draw up the design. He’s blown me away with the sketches he comes up with every single time.Side note:Ask to see his portfolio of designs he would like to tattoo. He has awesome designs waiting to be claimed. I have one myself and it’s one of my favorite pieces!

Last tattoo I got was over 20 years ago. When I decided to get another one I searched for the right artist and style that complimented me. Was very impressed with Mike’s art and made the consult appointment. First impression.....clean shop, no crazy music, and an over all calming atmosphere. Mike took the time to listen to me and really capture what I was looking for. Booking was easy, fit into my schedule and my tattoo is amazing. Sent family to him as well and they were very satisfied. Thanks Mike! Lead the Way!

Michael and Matt have exceeded so many expectations and my tattoo isnt even complete yet. I still have one more session with the two of them to finish my piece; however, I was overjoyed with how the first session turned out.I was late to my appointment and Michael was super accommodating. When I arrived he prepped and got to work. I kept thinking, This couldnt get any better, but with every step of shading it did. I was impressed and very satisfied with my results.Both artists really took the time to get it right. I know that once my piece is finished it will exceed every expectation I have.Great conversation, educational information, jokes, the perfect amount of sarcasm, and great care... those are all words to describe my day at the shop.

Tattoo artist was over an hour late to my appointment and didnt seem to care. This happened twice with the same artist. I cannot recommend this store if staff acts like this. 0/10 would not recommend.

What Michael Hockman and Matt Carrel have built at Forever Gallery is next level. If you are getting a serious tattoo, don’t go anywhere else. You can tell the second you walk in, that this shop holds itself to a higher standard. Everything from the consult, customization of your piece, their skill level/execution, and help in your aftercare, it is truly an exceptional experience. Most importantly, they are genuinely good people that live local. If they are booked, get on their schedule and wait, it isn’t worth compromising on something that will last forever.

Had my first tattoo done here and couldnt have asked for anything better! Michael is the best and definitely knows what he is doing. I would recommend Forever Gallery to anyone looking to get quality work done! Definitely will come back in the future.

I have followed Micheal from a previous shop to Forever Gallery. I am so in love with his incredibly detailed and unique style of tattooing. He has always hooked me up with a beautiful tattoo that I couldn’t be happier with.The tattooing isn’t the only thing worth checking out at Forever Gallery!They also give tribute to other local artists and show their work.If you are ever in the area 12/10 would recommend walking in and seeing what they have displayed.Don’t forget to ask for Micheal.

Grace is the absolute best! I wont ever trust anyone else with my work. The whole studio is cute and clean. Only complaint is parking can be hard, but that isnt really the studios fault at all. I always have a great experience.

I have been a client of Matt Carrel’s for over 10 years. His art covers the majority of my body which we will continue to fill. He is the only person I trust to tattoo me. I give him my ideas and he translates them into intricate colorful tattoos that I’m proud to have. I have so much faith behind his work that now I don’t see what he’s drawn up until the day of. He and his business partner Michael have created a beautiful clean space that makes you feel comfortable to be in.

Came in and got an awesome tattoo done by Michael. He was professional, engaging and did an amazing job!! I highly recommend this place, the atmosphere is chill and welcoming. I already have plans on getting more done by Michael. Looking forward to him turning my vision into another fantastic tattoo

I have been nothing but impressed with Forever Gallery since discovering it last year. The facility itself is clean, kept up well, and the location is hard to beat at the center of Carmel. Hudsons attention to detail is second to none and his ability to translate your ideas to art is unmatched.

Very relaxed and clean atmosphere, making this my favorite tattoo shop that I’ve been to. Hannah does amazing work. She’s done my last 2 tattoos and they’re perfect.

Great environment and beautiful delicate line work. Hannah puts a of intricate detail into her work and it really shows. I could not be happier with how my fine line floral tattoo came out and she exceeded my expectations.

Amazing business! Went to 5 different artists and was turned away before I was referred to Matt a while back. His portfolio was super impressive when I went to have our consultation to say the least so I felt like he had the skill to get me right. I wanted a specific design that was very difficult. I mean on the level hard. He wasnt intimidated at all. Did a top notch job. I couldnt be any happier with the way my tattoo looks. Matt is super relaxing with his professional manner and intriguing conversationalist too. People guesstimate that it took 12 hrs of work when they see it. Only took Matt 6 hrs believe it or not! Saved me a ton and again, I couldnt be happier with how AMAZING my tattoo looks! Lots of love to you Matt. You are a true artist and I pray for your future success bro. God bless.

Michael is amazing tattoo artist! He made me feel very comfortable from the second I walked into the shop to the second I left. My tattoo exceeded my expectations. Forever Gallery is an exceptional and clean tattoo shop, and I won’t be looking to go anywhere else from here on out 😊

**Overall best experience at a shop ever- schedule a consultation now!**So impressed with the sophistication, atmosphere and professionalism of this shop. It was so comfortable and inviting. The art is amazing and the tattoo artists are beyond talented. Thank you to Michael Hockman for giving me a gorgeous memory tattoo. I couldn’t be happier. Overall best experience at a shop ever.

Hannah always does an amazing job on my tattoos. She is so polite and friendly always. She even gave my mom her very first tattoo for her bday. I love this place.

Had an amazing experience getting my first tattoo from Hudson. He took his time, listened to my ideas, and created something beautiful for me. I am extremely happy with the end result!

I got to work with Michael the beginning of November. He did a tree line scene around my lower arm and absolutely nailed it! The detail is perfect and he was so easy to work with. It looks better than anything I had hoped for. This is by far my favorite tattoo! I will definitely be going back to him for any future work I have done.

Michael Hockman is as delightful as he is talented. He has created an elegant and welcoming space. Hes kind, professional, very customer oriented, and his work is out of this world. Best tattooing experience Ive ever had and Im already booked for two more with him.

Michael Hockman and this studio are the real deal. First, the space. It is amazing, beautiful, clean, airy with incredible art curated by the artists. Now, Michael. Creative, collaborative and talented. He is re-working an old back piece and it already looks amazing. He is truly one of a kind, he made me comfortable (my previous tattoo experience was super painful, so I was nervous to do it again) and we had the best conversation, the time flew by. I can’t wait to go back for more.

Michael is great! I walked in with no photos and told him what I wanted and scheduled my appointment. He designed something beautiful and made sure I was completely comfortable during the whole process. He made the experience much more enjoyable than I’d had with previous work. Great artist and even better person!

Michael is an amazing tattoo artist! He’s done 5 of my tattoos and each of them turned out exactly how I wanted. He is professional & also a blast to be around during sessions. I live in DC now and still come back to Indy for my tattoos so that Michael can do them for me!

I’m currently getting a phoenix tattoo with Hudson. Forever Gallery and the staff have been incredible. Never late for appointments, and appointments are scheduled in a short time frame. I’m not forced to wait 6 months between sessions. 10/10.

Hudson came through last minute on a cover up. Called day of and he was able to fit me in a appointment right by my brother for his first tattoo. Talented artist and great guy!!

Love love love my newest Tattoo!! If you need some ink go to Matt!! He is amazing and never fails! I have had 5 tattoos done by Matt! He makes sure it is what you want before you begin! So happy he has his own shop! So, set up your appointment & go see him!

I have probably 20 or more hours of Michael Hockman art on my body. We discussed my plan and he went to town on his design of my sleeve. Always clean, professional, and really listens to your input when putting his forever art on your body. Ive received so many compliments on different pieces incorporated into my work. I always highly recommend him. Do yourself a favor and just look at this amazing local talent.

The shop is awesome, super clean and it’s got a great vibe. Hero is an amazing tattoo artist - he’s done three of mine, all of them have turned out incredible. He’s always down to make it exactly what you want. I’m always thrilled with how they come out, and get compliments on them pretty often. The color on his tattoos are super bold and the even older ones still look fantastic

Had a great first experience in this shop! My artist was Hannah and she does excellent work. Super clean and cute inside, everyone was very kind and professional. Definitely will be back to see Hannah for my next piece!

I meant this artist 7 years ago and told him a little about me. He designed beautiful art and put it on my body that tells my story. I get 3 to 5 compliments daily on my beautiful tattoo’s. I now have 9 tattoos with my right arm almost a sleeve and ready for more. Thank you Michael Hockman for your beautiful designs, your time, your understanding and art work. Love my tattoo’s!

By far my favorite tattoo shop. Matt is absolutely phenomenal at what he does. He takes his time to go over everything and makes sure you’re comfortable through the whole tattoo process. His color work is beautiful and he works to make the tattoos he does unique and detail oriented.Extremely clean shop and friendly staff.

Matt Carrel provided an exceptional experience throughout every aspect of getting a tattoo. He listened to my ideas and transformed them into a unique design. Forever Gallery is impeccably clean and provides for a comfortable atmosphere. The end result is a tattoo that is beyond my wildest expectations. I definitely will become a repeat customer!

Came here to get another tattoo from Michael. I sent him a basic template and some vague requests, letting him have a decent amount of freedom on the design. I was way happier with what I got VS what I was originally expecting. I let him do his thing and am more than pleased. I love what I got and would get another. Scheduling can be difficult, to be honest, but seeing it through will get you something you should be pretty pleased with.

Michael is a kind, talented artist that listens to your dreams and aspirations, and then helps you express yourself through his expertise in the art of tattooing. His gentle, patient nature puts me at ease and helps develop trust. I highly recommend Forever Gallery Tattoo.

This place is amazing! The atmosphere is very welcoming and the staff are so friendly! I got a tattoo from Grace and she is one the nicest people I’ve ever gotten a tattoo from. Her work is so beautiful and professional. Highly recommend this shop!!

This is the most beautiful tattoo shop I have ever seen. It is in a great location with plenty of convenient parking. The local art work displayed on the walls is fabulous. The lighting and atmosphere are perfect. Grace is AMAZING! I am always captivated by the beautiful pieces she creates for me.

Hudson does very realistic work and fine art. Thank you Hudson!

Michael listened to my request knowing it was going to be a challenge & delivered. I am extremely pleased with my tattoo which is my 2nd & excited about getting another. Michael is very professional & goes above & beyond making sure you feel comfortable while visiting their gallery.

Michael does phenomenal work and is exactly why we drive 2.5 hours for his services! He is very patient and open to brainstorming ideas with you! The new shop is exceptional and inviting and creates a positive experience! These are all bonuses on top of the amazing artist Michael is!! Highly recommend!!

Once again just beyond thrilled with the work Matt did! He is so talented! Love the new studio too! It’s so nice and clean inside! If you are thinking of getting some “ink” you will just love the guys at Forever Gallery Tattoo! 😋

Have gotten several tattoos by Michael Hockman and highly recommend. Super talented artist and a great experience always. Shop is clean and bright. If you are looking for a tattoo shop look no further, call Forever Gallery Tattoo.

Grace is the bomb! She’s one of the most down to earth people i’ve ever met. I always have a great experience with her whenever I’m blessed to sit on her table. I’ll follow her wherever she goes! The shop is so clean & gives such a welcoming vibe which is also such a plus!

I’ve had four different sessions with Kayla. She is not only a talented artist and really nice person, she can also transform into a Jeep Wrangler with the doors off. It’s turned into a favorite stray dog hangout, complete with free dog food, self-replenishing water bowls, and an old lady that just shouts random compliments to the dogs. Unique experience, I’ll be back.

A little nervous getting my first tattoo but the atmosphere was great and everyone was so friendly. Hannah Schriner was my tattoo artist and did an amazing job so extremely talented, would definitely recommend.

I had 2 tattoos done by Hannah she made for a great first tattoo experience and I would highly recommend her if you’re looking for a talented female tattoo artist in the Indy area. Thank you Hannah!!

Ive worked with Michael on a few pieces on my legs and he is amazing as always! His work is amazing and the shop is clean and everyone is friendly ! I plan to continue going to him, and would strongly suggest him to anyone looking for ink or art!!! He really takes into consideration what I want and works to suit each persons individual style !

I absolutely love Kayla! She did phenomenal work and gave me an incredible birth flower bouquet tattoo for my first tattoo. The shop is beautiful and relaxing. Highly, HIGHLY recommend!!!

I brought my daughter into Forever Gallery for her first tattoo. I had no idea she was as nervous as she ended up being. Hudson was immediately tuned into this and his empathy, kindness and compassion helped make the experience one my daughter and I will remember fondly for the rest of our lives. Thank you so very much for everything you do. I am so grateful!!!

I have been working with Matt on a full sleeve project (current as of 9/21). Matt has been awesome to work with through the project - from the initial consult through each session. He is fair, honest, a talented artist, and has been fun to work with. I can’t wait to see the project completed, but am enjoying the journey along the way. If you’re looking for an experienced artist, check out Matt’s work!

Michael Hockman did 1/2 of my chest work on 12/9/20. He has a steady hand and isnt hard on you. I sat through about 7 hours with him with only a tiny break and it was tolerable. I showed him a pic of what I had and gave him an idea and let him run with it and was very pleased with how it turned out. He will be doing the rest of my tattoos for now on.

I recently went in and worked with Matt for a new tattoo and I absolutely love it! I came to him with a pretty basic idea and he worked his creative magic (as always) and came up with something phenomenal! I appreciate not only his artistic abilities, but his professionalism and the extra policies they currently have in place to keep everyone safe during Covid. Ill definitely be back!

Went a few weeks ago and got my first tattoo, done by Michael. Walking in the shop was unlike other shops I had been to. Very clean and welcoming. My tattoo turned out great and he walked me through the whole process. Definitely will be back.

Had the pleasure of getting art with Grace. Female tattoo artist + talented in her craft + her vibe is welcoming and comfortable. I will be going back again and recommend her.

This is my second tattoo with Matt and it won’t be my last! He has designed two of my tattoos and is super easy to work with. Both times he listened to what I wanted and understood the look I wanted. The shop and his area are always clean and I never feel unsafe. Couldn’t be happier!

I have been looking for a good and responsive tattoo parlor for a while and Im so glad this place was recommended to me the artists are all extremely talented and take pride in what they do. I personally had Hannah and she was amazing highly recommend!

Kayla was my artist and artist she is! We talked through ideas and she designed a beautiful floral 1/2 arm peice.... I get compliments on it constantly and I cant wait to one day have her add to it!! Pics attached!!

I have debated on making this review and honestly have no choice at this point. I followed Michael from another shop where he did some cover up work. (Mind you I paid up front) it took over a year and a half to get back in with him due to cancelations (on his end) and then Covid happened. I got back in with him 6 months ago and it was my final session. He insisted we break it into 2 sessions I asked if I could go against his advice and he said no that hed look at his schedule and get me in soon. Like I said it has been since February. Ive sent many texts, emails and made calls an never get anything in return. My wedding is next month and I have a busted unfinished tattoo that I now have to pay someone else to rework and finish. I wish I could leave 0 stars.

Hannah did fantastic work, she was compassionate and charismatic. Talked to me throughout the whole session and reached out to me to see how it was was healing out.Absolutely beautiful studio, would highly recommend reaching out.

I loved the tattoo and work Kayla did for me. Not only was she 100% professional but the work was exactly what I was wanting. I recommend her to everyone I know. She is an excellent artist 🎨!

Michael is awesome! He is very knowledgeable about clean/safe tattoo practices. He has done 2 pieces for me, 2 for my mother, and 3 for my daughter and all of them are beautifully done.

Matt came highly recommend from some friends of mine and boy did he deliver! Not only was he able to correct work from a previous tattoo artist, he also expanded the design and didnt even bat an eye when I said I wanted a necro-phoenix. Were not done yet, but it is looking amazing and the colors are rockin! Ill update this when its complete with photos :) All in all you cant go wrong with Forever Gallery

Came to visit my favorite guy Michael Hockman! It was my second tattoo with him and he just makes you feel so well taken care of. You can just tell he loves what he does. He has such great talent and gave me exactly what I wanted!!!

Michael is remarkable. My wife and I have gone to him for several years. We have multiple tattoos each and he continues to impress. His artistic talent is outstanding. Highly recommended!

Kayla has done two tattoos for me and both are so beautiful!! Very clean environment, already thinking about what I’ll get done here next. The art gallery aspect is also very cool. I would absolutely recommend Forever Gallery!

Zach was nothing short of impressive. From the initial design process to executing the tattoo. Tons of detail and dimension. Would highly recommend! Great atmosphere and clean too!’

Forever Gallery is everything you would want in a professional, yet creative tattoo establishment. Think... bougie facility, professional artwork displayed (and for sale) without a pretentious vibe! Mike Hockman is an amazing artist and will make you feel like you’ve known him for years. Highly recommend!

Grace was AMAZING. She took her time with my piece and Ive already had multiple compliments on it. The atmosphere here is the chillest. I will recommend this studio over and over!!

Absolutely will be going back to Kayla for more tattoos!! Her professionalism was on point and her line work is ABSOLUTELY incredible!!! After almost a year I’m still getting compliments on her work!!

I have gotten 4 tattoos at forever gallery and they all were done by Hudson and they all came out amazing the best looking tattoos I could’ve ever asked for I highly recommend this tattoo shop over any in Carmel.

I LOVE THIS PLACE. Michael is my tattoo guy and is so good at what he does. He is super nice and I’m already planning my 3rd and 4th tattoos with him. EVERYONE SHOULD GET THEIR TATTOOS DONE HERE!

Michael Hockman is a very talented tattoo artist. He’s also professional. I chose to have a foot and ankle tattoo. I knew it would be painful, however, Michael has a knack of putting people at ease while working on your tattoo. I will be back!

I’ve been to a lot of ink shops over the years and Matt at Forever Gallery is by far one of the most professional and badass artists that I’ve had the pleasure of working with. The shop is clean. The artists are all great and the prices are are more than reasonable. Get tattooed at a Forever Gallery Tattoo!

Hannah has done a beautiful job on my tattoos. Extremely talented with the line work and stippling. Professional, patient, and a true artist.

Grace did my tattoo and has some of the best linework you can find in the whole country. Shes a special talent and a rare find.Shes worth the wait on her books.

I went and got a tattoo from Hannah Schriner and i’m so happy with the results!!! She took the time to make sure everything was perfect in the prep/placement and the actual tattooing process. I would highly recommend going to her!

Hannah is so talented at what she does, and has a great personality! The shop is bright and clean, one if the most professional shops I’ve personally seen.

I’ve got two tattoos by hudson Maynard now and I will continue going to him he’s very professional and takes his time to make sure it’s exactly what I want. Forever gallery tattoo is very clean and everyone there is very nice

Michael Hockman did a great job on a thigh piece I asked him to help me with!!! He redrew my idea beautifully and let me make it my own, the line work is incredible and he was so professional the whole time. I will definitely be coming back for future work.

If I could give six stars, I would. Hannah is creative, professional, respectful, and a true artist; her line work and stipple shading are so impressive that Im constantly amazed at the quality of work she produces.

Hannah did an incredible job! She took her time making sure I was happy with the placement and was very professional! Not to mention the end product was flawless

Hudson is amazing, his skill and poise are unrivaled.

Awesome shop! Very high quality artists and work. I went to Hannah and she did an amazing job! She was she went above and beyond with the piece and it’s so beautiful. Highly recommend her!!

I had a small tattoo done on my birthday last week. They fit me right in, did an amazing job, CLEAN and inviting space, and very friendly. Highly recommend. Unlike any other tattoo place I’ve been to.

Michael is such a great person to work with! I had a painting that my Nana made before she passed and he recreated it perfectly. Im so happy with the results. Would definitely go back.

Absolutely recommend. Its a calm serene place where you can get tatted. Matt was knowledgable and didnt mind moving around our tattoos till we were satisfied with placement and look. A true gem !

Michael did an absolutely amazing job on the first part of my sleeve. Looks unbelievable and made me very comfortable getting my first tattoo. Can’t wait to continue and get the next piece done.

Can’t even tell you the work is good or bad because Michael rescheduled me 3 times. This seems to be a pretty common occurrence with him based on other reviews. The shop is nice and clean so I’m not saying don’t use the shop. Just don’t use him.

Mike did a wonderful job on fixing a messed up tattoo. He will definitely be doing the rest of mine. He truly cares about his work! Very professional an a super clean shop.

I have always spent a great deal of time looking for artist and am glad i found michael. He did a half sleeve on my arm and put his own touch into the piece. He went way above and beyond what i expected and cant wait to start my next piece with him!

Matt is incredible tattoo artist. He has done all my work. I have followed him for the past 5 years. He is very professional. He brings your ideas to life.

Very clean and professional shop. I’ve gotten about 10 tattoos from Matt now and I refuse to go to anybody else! If you want the highest quality tattooing experience from start to finish this is where you should be coming.

Very cute little place with incredible staff, Hudson was mine and my siblings artist and he was very nice. Very clean, all around amazing experience. Will be coming back for future tattoos.

Michael always does great work for me! The both of them are so friendly and make you feel welcome 😊 Im on my sixth piece and dont plan on going to another artist

Hannah did my ice cream tattoo and I love it! Hannah really takes her time and is really good at what she does, 10/10 recommend!

Had my first tattoo done by Kayla today and absolutely in love with her work. Clean, professional, and friendly customer service. Will definitely be back soon!

Every time I come I have an amazing experience. Hudson has done all my tattoos and theres no one else I trust!

The shop is clean and bright! The art gallery is rotating monthly with great pieces. Matt has been awesome to work with and always has great designs and excellent execution!

Michael is an incredible artist. He made sure every last detail was perfect. Couldnt be happier with his work. An outstanding business with great artists

Highly recommend. Very nice place. Never disappointed. I refuse to go anywhere else. This is the tattoo place to go, VERY PROFESSIONAL.
