Lake Effect Tattoo Parlour

Ive gotten several tattoos from Braden and it is always a wonderful experience. He is a super creative guy, very attentive and accommodating to any idea you may have for your tattoo. His location is clean, welcoming, and comfortable. Highly recommend!!

Braden is an all around amazing tattooer and guy!!! I cannot recommend him enough. I have gone to him for the last year getting an American traditional patchwork sleeve done and I love every piece he’s given me!! Whether you’re looking for bold and bright or simple and fine line, Braden is your guy!!!

Braden is the best there is. I have known him for close 4 years at this point, and he has been nothing short of amazing. He does such an incredible job on all of the tattoo ideas I come to him with, and consistently executes them with impeccable work. I also constantly get compliments on all of this work. He is a clean, hygienic, professional, respectful tattoo artist as well as just an extremely personable and funny guy. You will not have a bad experience with him and i’m so happy he has his own shop now!!!

Braden at Lake Effect was great!Braden as an artist was so easy to work with! He was very accommodating when I sent over ideas and inspiration photos. As a tattooer, Braden worked very quickly, cleanly, and with a gentle hand. He was very patient when I asked for a break and to move the stencil before we began. He made me feel very comfortable even though I was nervous!The shop was well organized. There is a separate lobby area, so there was a good bit of privacy while being tattooed. It made me feel very comfortable that no one could walk up to us.

Braden has been tattooing me for several years now. Comfortable environment and excellent artistry. All around just a good dude who wants to provide an enjoyable experience. Braden has a passion for the history and culture that hes happy to share in. Highly recommend.

Braden has been my tattoo artist for years! And to finally go into his own shop is breathtaking, I’m so happy for his progress and his drive. He is so considerate, consistent, and great artist too. His shop is clean and has a great vibe all around, his art reflects time and effort in care not just while doing the work but beforehand like sketching and the aftercare tips and tricks. Great dude and great tats! Go get some ink!

Amazing experience getting tattooed! Braden does awesome work and is very easy to talk to. When I got my knee tattooed he was totally chill with me taking a break or two to get through. His new shop is great. Location is 10/10, welcoming atmosphere with calm/chill music. Will definitely be back. Great honest nice guy who does awesome work.

I choose Braden for my first tattoo and I am completely satisfied. His shop is clean and he is very welcoming and friendly. He explained the process and made sure that I was comfortable. He provided clear instructions for aftercare. Overall it was a great experience, I love the tattoo and felt completely at ease with Braden.

Braden did an AMAZING job for my first tattoo experience! He was very friendly and easy to talk to throughout the entire experience! If you’re wanting a well done, fine line tattoo, I highly highly recommend Braden! I will be back!

I have been getting tattooed by Braden for over two years. Even upon first meeting him, he has a very calming and welcoming demeanor, and makes you feel like youve known each other forever. His work is impeccable, and he will make sure youre comfortable throughout the entire tattooing process, while also explaining each step. Even as a veteran tattoo wearer, I always appreciate his kindness, honesty and standard procedure every time I visit. Now that he has his own shop, things are only going to get cooler!

Braden runs a wonderful place! Super clean, nice and he made the process very easy. It was my first tattoo and he was very understanding and helpful. He offered my friend and I drinks and allowed us to do things at our own pace. I highly recommend and will definitely go back!

Braden is an amazing artist! He is super open minded to your ideas and very informative of the process. He does an excellent job. He’s my tattoo guy from now on and I encourage anyone to get tattooed by him. Super respectful and creates a comfortable atmosphere!

Braden is the coolest!! Always doing great work and someone who I can trust to tattoo me! Have gotten 5 plus tattoos from him and has always killed it in the design and meeting my vision!!

Braden has done two of my tattoos now and he is definitely going to continue being my go to! Most recently, he did my (soon-to-be) husband and I’s wedding date tattoos! We LOVE them!He’s such an awesome guy in general, and he has such a passion for his work! Absolutely excellent; recommend him to anyone looking for a great tattoo artist.

Just got a small tattoo and I can not recommend Braden enough! He was so sweet and talked through the whole process. Highly highly highly recommend! He was so easy to talk too and was very understanding when it came to final design markings.

Braden is a great artist whose 1st priority is your comfort. For just a couple tiny hand/hip tattoos, I was impressed with his vision and his communication - also his shop is so beautiful and clean! If you are local or traveling to find a tattoo artist, Braden should be your 1st call. Right off the 79 in Erie, super easy to get to. Thanks Braden!

Braden is the nicest guy who will make you feel comfortable and safe while giving you a quality tattoo! Braden truly cares about the culture and history behind the art of tattooing and Lake Effect reflects that knowledge and the environment that Braden works actively to cultivate. You truly couldn’t get a better experience from anyone else!

Braden is so talented!!! He has designed several of my tattoos, always drawing up exactly what I’m looking for. He goes out of his way to make me comfortable and always discusses my vision with me to get the best understanding of what i’m looking for. Braden is also just such a great person. I’m honored to wear his art on my body everyday!

Super clean and welcoming atmosphere! I always feel safe and comfortable when getting tattooed by Braden. Braden is very passionate and knowledgeable about what he does. His work speaks for itself and is amazing and fairly priced.

Braden was spectacular! very nice person, and is super understanding of any doubts you may have! i was a bit scared going into it but he made my first tattoo so easy! talked me through everything before doing it, very clean and sanitary. overall, a phenomenal experience and i am definitely going back!!

An incredibly clean and sterile tattoo studio in a great location with free parking right outside the front door!Braden is an amazing artist specialising in traditional, but has no problem taking on other styles if requested!His prices are also extremely affordable and can take a variety of payment methods!!If youre in the area and seeking new ink, youd be crazy to not checkout Lake Effect Tattoo! Its the best around!!!

I can be a bit of a nervous person but Braden is a very calming person. He knows his stuff and is super great to work with. He has done five of my tattoos and they are my favorites. He is very well skilled and diverse in his tattooing. He can also talk to you about anything.

Braden has been doing my tattoos for a while now, and words can’t describe how pleased I am. Along with his outstanding professionalism to his craft, he never fails to make each visit one to write home about. Whether it’s your first tattoo or your 109th, he will make sure it’s an amazing experience every single time.

Braden is by far my favorite tattooer in Erie! He can do just about any style of tattooing and has tons of flash pieces to choose from or can tattoo your own concept! After having a traumatic experience with another tattooer, Braden took the time to have a consult with me and communicate about my desired tattoo to ensure I was happy with the results and have great experience. I would highly recommend him and Lake Effect Tattoo Parlour!

My fiancé and I got our wedding tattoos here. It was my first tattoo and Braden did an OUTSTANDING job. The design, the experience (I usually dont do well around needles), and the finished tattoo were all amazing! If I ever decide to get another tattoo, I wouldnt go anywhere else!

Got my palms tattooed by Braden and I couldn’t be happier with the results and the service! He was friendly and informative the whole time; I fully recommend him and his shop to anyone who’s looking for a great tattoo and experience! To top that off, he also has the biggest heart for tattooing I’ve ever come across.

Had an amazing experience at Lake Effect getting tattooed by Braden. He ensured I felt comfortable and welcomed during my visit. The art, vibes, & environment were superb. Looking forward to returning for more.

I’ve been getting tattooed by Braden since he was an apprentice. He is an awesome person and a great artist. I highly recommend getting tattooed by him and you might even learn some tattoo history while you’re at it!

Braden is very kind and obviously cares about his clients. He took time to explain the tattooing process and how to properly care for the tattoo. It is beautiful! Thank you, Braden!
