I got a tattoo done just yesterday by Olli and he did a phenomenal job. The environment was super welcoming with the playful banter. Ive gone here previously for tattoos and they were also super enjoyable experiences. The artists are super friendly. Thank you guys for the beautiful work you do!

Babalus hand down has amazing artists. They have a fun atmosphere with great people. Will has been creating my arm piece of flowers for my babies from just an idea in my head. I couldnt be happier with this amazing art work! Thank you Will for becoming our friend!

I had an amazing experience at Babalus. My artist was Oli. I requested a Medusa and I was pretty picky! He drew up several pieces for me and was so good with all adjustments. Knocked out a super detailed gorgeous piece in one sitting. He definitely has a forever customer! Honestly all the artists in there did a fantastic job. Got to see both of them do a couple great tattoos while getting mine done. Definitely wont be disappointed with the work done in this tattoo studio!

Amazing shop!!! Staff is incredible!!! I did a walk in spur of the moment on a Saturday. Knew what I wanted as far as the wording, but wasnt sure how I wanted it positioned, font, size etc....Justin was my artist, and he took the time to listen, understand and execute a perfect tattoo. His attention to detail and pride in his work was incredible. The owner and the rest of the staff were amazing. Shop was very clean, and organized. Couldnt be happier with how my piece turned out, already am in the process of getting the next tattoo planned.

I can confidently say that this tattoo shop isnt just good—its exceptional. What sets them apart? Let me share my experience with Will, the tattoo artist who completely changed my perception of what a tattoo session could be.Most shops simply print out your design and ink it onto your skin. But Will? Hes on a whole other level. He didnt just take my idea and replicate it, he transformed it into something uniquely mine. First, he measured my thigh to ensure the perfect size and placement. Then, instead of just slapping on the exact online image I brought in, he used his expertise to customize it, making it truly one-of-a-kind.Using his cool app, Will projected the design onto my skin, allowing me to visualize exactly how it would look. But heres where he truly impressed me- I mentioned wanting a sunflower added to it, and instead of choosing any old generic one, he looked until he found the perfect one to complement my legs contours and direction.In essence, Will didnt rush through the process like so many others do. He took the time to understand my vision and elevate it beyond my expectations. If youre seeking an artist who goes above and beyond, look no further than Will. Trust me, you wont be disappointed.

Will was my artist and he was very helpful accommodating me traveling through the area. He did a piece for me at Sturgis a few years ago and I wanted another tattoo by him. So glad I got to make it happen! Excellent work and Im very happy with it! Very professional and good guys working at this shop.

So glad we decided to go here!! It was both of our first tattoos and not only was customer service fantastic but our tattoos turned out amazing! Definitely recommend going here! They also do a free touch up after 6 months which is a perk for sure ;) first two pictures are of my own and my friends is the last one which I think Jazmine did so well on!

Super fun crew to work with! Bring your design or idea and let them bring you ideas to life. Their work is art, not a cheesy stencil. Beyond pleased! #EMS/First Responder friendly!

My artist was Will, it was my first tattoo so obviously I was super nervous but he explained the whole process to me before I even got there and when I did get there he made me as comfortable as I could possibly be. The tattoo itself came out amazing and I already have my next appointment scheduled with him, 10/10 recommend and I will go to him for all of my future tattoos.

I have been going to Babalu’s for around three years now, whenever I need some new Ink. Today, I had the pleasure and honor of getting some ink from Will. Will, as a person, is one of those old-school down to Earth guys that is really refreshing to be around. As an artist; his shop is always clean, he is very friendly, and he has an amazing ability to transform your imagination into some of the coolest ink you’ll ever see. 10/10!

Will Wilson designed my artwork. It was a tough cover-up due to the dark, deep lines of the previous tattoo. Will worked with me to get the perfect design that we were both confident with. It turned out far better than I could have ever imagined. He was patient and listened to what I wanted. I will be going back for more ink therapy in the future.

Will Wilson did a helluva job not only doing this but also coming up with the idea and designing it, he did a sweet cover up for me and had me laughing the whole time he worked. Highly recommend him and I am definitely going back for my next tattoo!

I’ve had sooo many compliments on how clean, detailed and beautiful my tattoo is. I got it done by Justin S. He says he’s a new artist in town. This is my first tattoo by him and i will definitely be going to him for any other ones i decide to get ! He has done a few tattoos on my friends and family and they’re amazing. Even his coworker recommended him! So obsessed with it !!

Amazing experience! The first time I went to Babalu’s was about a year ago. I went in for my first tattoo had an amazing experience even than! Everything is kept clean and sanitary. The artists here are absolutely amazing! I went in to get another tattoo to add on to the first. Their work is exceptional! 5 stars for sure! Will and Justin S were my artists, and I couldn’t have gotten anyone better for me. All of them are amazing and run an even more amazing studio. Will be back soon!

I’ve had to have a fair amount of my tattoos done by Will redone by my now go to artist because of a mediocre quality job being done.

Review №24

My wife and I went in to get new ink. No one else was taking new clients, we where greeted and able to talk with the artist. Designs selected and ink placed. Artists all seemed to care a great deal about sanitation and comfort. Our ink has had time to heal and looks just as good as the day we got it. We will be going back.

Babalous is my favorite place to get ink work done. Everyone is kind, professional, and there work is top notch. Justin is currently working on a lighthouse piece for me, and it looks amazing. I personally will be a customer until my body cant take anymore ink. I highly recommend them. Stop by and check them out, you won’t be disappointed.
