What an experience!! I randomly came in for a tattoo and got tattooed by Daniel Warrior!!! Wow! He almost brought me to tears, with his wisdom and all that he said…. Made my birthday extra special. Will never forget it!!!! Highly recommend it! Place is clean, and beautiful! Amazing service!!!! I almost want to go get another one by him!!!!

We get to Cherokee a lot. They have someone that does walk in tats, but the last 3 visits, not open, not there. Ive called twice but must be to busy to answer. By the looks of the displays, they do good work. Couldnt seem to get it together with them so Ive moved on.

Not sure who this April person is down below, and I’m not sure what bad experience they had, because I was there when that group walked in! They came in, received menus from the friendly staff, and walked out. So what bad experience did they experience? They didn’t get a tattoo, they didn’t get a drink, no food! Then as they left the place after there 30 sec of being inside, walked outside and slandering the shop, and name calling?Anyways, I love this place, nuff said, you should come experience it! It’s like no other shop in the area!Want some ink? They have you covered!Want some food or drink? Again they have you covered! I’d give 10 stars if I could!!!

Over priced food, dingy shop. Not impressed with place overall. Noticed some discrepancies in sanitary practice. Tattoo artist placed bactine spray on floor, proceeded to touch bottle then touch open wound. No separation between tattoo area and “restaurant.” Feels unsanitary to eat food within touching distance of bloody wounds. Would not recommend to anyone.

I have been to this shop more than once & have always had a great experience which is why I came back. I called ahead of time & made an appointment. Appointment day came, I took a day off of work, I drove an hour to get to the shop, only to be asked by the person that was supposed to do my tattoo, what time was your appointment? I told him, & he said he couldnt do it at that time today. I asked if there was something later in the day & I would come back & his response was this persons been waiting a while & its going to take all day, sorry. He asked if I could come tomorrow. I said I cant take another day off work, drive an hour to come back. PSA: call ahead even if you have an appoinment to make sure they can do it.I was very disappointed because I have always had a great experience here.

Called to see if they had availability they said they would be freed up in about hour and half.. took 2 minutes to drive over and reassure my spot and signed list with no one ahead of me . They reassured me they would call when ready and I let them know I was literally 2 min away . After 2.5 hours drove over hoping it was close and they were taking multiple walk ins and we were pushed back 2-3 hours. Can’t comment on quality but professionalism was non existent. Nobody seem to know what was going on. Honestly glad we didn’t get work done there.

All I can say is Thank you my Brother Rudy . Losing my strength and always facing more has taken a toll on me . Having (Yonah) walking with me is one thing my illness can not take from me . No matter what surgeries and treatments I face ahead . Until we meet again my Brother....Thank you !!! 💜~K

My husband (52 years old) and myself (49 years old decided we would get our 1st tattoo while visiting Cherokee.. we walked in as Rudy was getting ready to leave.. we told him what we wanted and to our surprise he said Ill do it for you... he spent over 2 hours with us and then we returned a couple days later to add a Lil more ink😉.. I also wanted a couple of ear piercings in the cartlege. For mine and the hubbys tattoos and both of my piercings.. it was less than what we had been quoted for just my husbands tattoo back home in Alabama..Rudy was fantastic... we had so much fun here and never felt the least bit rushed.. Rudy took his time with us both.. (we got names with bands all the way around.).. we will definitely be back.. . The girl who did my piercings was also great. We laughed and cut up and chilled too.. felt like we had known them forever..

Walked in to see if they had availability for 4 people to do small tattoos for our girls trip, lady said to come back in an hour and a half. In the mean time the artist was shaking his head and complaining to a customer he didnt want to do our job. Instead of telling us he didnt have time, he got an attitude and said there is to many people after I mentioned he didnt have to do us. They stated he was free after 1 1/2 which would have been 6 pm they close at 9pm. Every place I have ever been they have always wanted the work especially small tattoos or just say sorry we cant accommodate you. Two other people walked in after us they denied them too

Review №22

Its been a couple of years since I went to this shop, but it bothered me enough that I decided to write a review anyway because I still think about it (obviously). I have an autoimmune condition that makes my skin have red splotches sometimes, while I was getting my tattoo the artist (his name was Key) told me I needed to take better care of my skin. Definitely not cool and not his place to speak on. Im heavily tattooed and have never had another artist comment on my health condition like this...it embarrassed me quite a bit. I didnt bother explaining to him why my skin looked like it did, I was sort of shocked silent. Unless it was in an area that affected an artists ability to do the tattoo then it is none of their business what my skin looks like, and the area I got the tattoo in was clear of my condition then.All of that being said I cant deny that the shop was clean, and the tattoo came out great and I still love it today...I wont be back because of the way I was spoken to, but I definitely would have had my experience with the artist been better, but I still have it 4 stars instead of 1 because I feel my experience is unlikely to happen with most other people...was I scoring it on just the interaction with the artist I would have given it a 1 star.

My husband got me a gift certificate for Christmas and I went in on New Years Day. I was very pleased with my experience. Ethan Holden is the best tattoo artist around. He made my tattoo the exact way I wanted it. He has tattooed my daughters before so I knew he would do a great job and he did. Thank you Ethan!

Review №28

My daughters and I are frequent customers. All the artists are talented. Ethan is the artist we use every time because his skill and attention to detail is second to none. This is my husbands google account but I wanted to give credit where credit is due. I would recommend Ethan Holden to anyone looking for a skilled tattoo artist.

Went in the shop to talk to Robin about what I had in my mind for my Tribal Eagle Tatoo. He was absolutely on point with my idea. Although not original, I knew what I wanted. We discussed it and made an appointment for the next morning. Robin is very talented in his art and he did a phonomal art piece for me. A BIG THANK YOU ! If I ever decide on another, you are the man. If you want to see it, I posted it on their Facebook page.
