IAN DID AN AWESOME JOB 👍 GREAT HANDS AND VERY TALENTED, SHOP WAS IN CLEAN CONDITION AND THEY USED PROPER HYGIENE $100 WITH TIP!! INCLUDED, TATTOO IS CLEAN!!
Dean and his wife were amazing! Even though we are from out of town and visiting, they went above and beyond to ensure we had the matching tattoo me and my husband wanted. His prices were great, the atmosphere was friendly, like being at a friends home. I would go there for all my tattoos if I lived in town, and will visit again if I am ever in Largo/Indian Shores.
Dean has a gentle hand and great talent. He made me and my husband feel as if we were friends. Very clean. Price was very reasonable. Lil Buddy (his dog) was so sweet and very well behaved. Extremely impressed with this mans life journey! Oh and I LOVE my tattoo!!!
While on vacation celebrating our birthdays my friend and I went to see Dean for our celebratory tattoos, Dean did an amazing job bringing our ideas to life! I’m tickled pink with how it turned out! Shop is very clean and he was very professional! The conversation and laughter was an added bonus! We are already planning to visit again for our next tattoo!
This was my second visit…I forgot to post a review the first time and I really shouldn’t have because Dean and Danie are amazing to work with. The shop is clean and comfortable. You don’t feel rushed and Dean really takes the time to talk with you to make sure you happy with your results. He did my world map on my first visit…the fine line work and attention to detail are phenomenal. We added to it on my second visit and did a second tattoo. Dean is incredibly talented and I highly recommend his work!
My boyfriend and I came to Indian Rocks Beach for vacation and were looking for a small, simple tattoo for a souvenir. We decided on four-leaf clovers. We came in and were the only guests. Loved the atmosphere and the pup that greeted us! There were two artists in, which I believe were Dean and Ian. They decided to do our tattoos at the same time. Same design for both. Dean did my boyfriend’s. Ian did mine.Dean nailed it. My boyfriend’s is beautiful, consistent, simple and proper shading. No scarring. He did exactly what we asked for.Mine is awful. The lines are way too thick. The lines are inconsistent. I have scarring in several spots (raised bumps). The shading has no purpose to how shading should be. I have a full sleeve on my other arm and working on my leg sleeve and I have never wanted a tattoo removed before this one. I cried when I left the shop and have cried several times since. Be weary…this artist doesn’t know what he is doing!Attached are pictures of my tattoo vs my boyfriend’s. You’ll be able to tell which is which.
Exceptional service! We decided to get last minute tattoos and these guys were amazing!! Not only were they accommodating but incredibly professional. They opened all the equipment in front of us and explained everything they were doing. It was a fun environment and the tattoos turned out great! This tattoo is by Dean.
I went in with my girlfriend, brother, and sister-in-law as walk-ins and the experience was better than any of us imagined. Dean and Ian were great conversationalists and worked with all of us to make sure we got what we wanted and then some. It was my first tattoo and I couldnt be happier with how it came out. Ian stepped out of his comfort zone with his usual style and nailed it! Dean worked really well with my brother to give him one of Deans custom works and even helped him cover up a tattoo he wasnt happy with. Ian did an amazing job helping my sister with a cover up as well and she is so much happier with her new tattoo that he breathed life into. They take such care and pride in their work and the atmosphere makes you feel at home. They have very light touches so you barely feel anything and we will all definitely be going back for future tattoos. I rarely ever leave reviews but these guys deserve some recognition!!! I appreciate you guys and will definitely make sure to being cookies for Lil Buddy next time!!
Me and my sister came here while on vacation to get a spontaneous matching tattoo and I am so glad this place was the shop that came up first on google! Dean and Ian were both amazing! The shop is awesome and super clean as well. We are so happy with our tattoos and the entire experience! They even have a support dog named little buddy who sits by you as you’re being tattooed and he was the cutest ever! Can’t wait to come back! :)
Dean and his wife were super friendly and created a comfortable space here. Dean was super easy to talk to and very knowledgeable on his art. Little buddy was a highlight of the visit 🐕🦺
My mother and I came in to town for a few days and these guys got us in fast. They showed us everything that they were going to be using, we watched them clean and put everything together. I had Dean. He was light handed, checked on how I was doing through out. This is a great company, of honest workers, great prices and some of the most down to Earth people. I will be back and will recommend this place to anyone that visits the area!
I have two tattoos - Dean did both of them and did a fabulous job. They look amazing and the process barely hurt. I’ll be back for more, for sure!!
I have had the honor to have met dean about two years ago. He offered to do my first tattoo for me and I said absolutely. It’s been so great getting to know him over the past few years. Has done amazing work with both my pieces. Couldn’t be more happy. Defiantly will be returning in the future. Such a great man and great tattoo artist. Thank you for everything dean
Had the pleasure to get my first tattoo here in Florida after coming from Maine. My daughter and I got matching tattoos for Father’s Day. I was nervous who I was going to get to do my tattoos after the move. Wanted someplace nice, friendly, welcoming, and that did quality work. Found it all here. I didn’t just a tattoo place…I found “the” tattoo place. Thank you to Dean and the crew and Lil Buddy for making us feel welcome and comfortable while doing awesome job!!!
I’m not sure that I can say enough good things about Inside Ink! Dean, Danie and Ian were all so incredibly nice and easy going. We called on a Saturday afternoon for 4 of us to get a simple tattoo. They were able to get us in and we were late and they were so kind. The shop itself is very very clean and everything is cleaned and open in front of you. They made me feel so comfortable. If you are looking for your 1st tattoo or 100th tattoo, I would recommend Dean and Inside Ink. I can’t wait to get back there for another tattoo!! Thank you for being so kind.Colleen Conrad
I have had 4 tattoos done at this studio and all I can say is they are phenomenal. Dean really listens to what you want and creates the perfect piece off art. I love every single one I have gotten and highly recommend heading over to have him work on your tattoo. I promise you will not regret it.They are clean.They are professional.They are amazing to deal with.If I could give him a 10/10, I would.
We decided to get last minute tattoos while on vacation. Dean, the owner, did not disappoint! This was my very first tattoo and he made it easy. He was quick to reply about an appointment, great pricing, very light handed, super friendly and most importantly I love the tattoo. He was very thorough and big on sanitation! And I cant forget his supervisor Lil Buddy is an adorable Australian Shepherd that helps calm any anxiety you may have about your first tattoo. I will definitely be back my next trip to FL and I would recommend this place and Dean to anyone looking to add some ink to their life.
Wonderful experience on vacation! Both Dean and Joseph are excellent hosts and were happy to accommodate our tattoo requests. They were even able to tattoo my fiancé and I at the same time. Their artwork was very polished and the shop was clean and sanitary. I highly recommend this shop if you are in the area!
My first tattoo at Inside Ink and it definitely didn’t disappoint! Ian did an awesome job on the tattoo itself and he was very professional by opening all the equipment in front of me!! The shop is very clean and the owner Dean and his pup Lil Buddy made me feel super comfortable and provided for some great conversations! I’ll be back for more soon enough!
Dean was wonderful. Little Buddy was super welcoming as well and put us at ease. My sister and I did a walk-in appointment while on vacation. Dean worked with us with our design idea and exceeded our expectations. The shop was clean and comfortable. Would absolutely recommend seeing Dean if you are in the area. And give Little Buddy a pet for me.
We came in as a group looking to get fun matching vacation tattoos. Dean delivered!!! Not only were the tattoos prepared and applied flawlessly but the conversation made for a great time. If you’re in the area and need some nice work done with great stories, stop in! Thanks Dean!!!
Loved this experience so much! Dean and Joseph are awesome artists and people. I felt safe and comfortable and relaxed through the whole experience, and both men were so kind! I love my new tattoo and would highly recommend!
First off Dean is the most respectful person I’ve ever had a pleasure of being around! Very clean and detail oriented with all his equipment as well.You will fall in love with his beautiful shop. Couldn’t have asked for a better person or artist!
Dean and Ian are absolutely awesome at what they do! I would recommend them to anyone returning to the chair or it’s your first time, they are very professional and very clean. I will always be returning to Inside Ink for my tattoos
Some of our family decided to commemorate our Florida Vacation with a tattoo. We contacted Dean online about our idea and he set up a time that worked great for us. We couldn’t be happier with our tattoos and Dean was awesome to work with! Highly reccomend!
I was very anxious about getting a second tattoo (first one was 40 years ago) but Dean was gracious, patient and extremely sympathetic. Granted, it’s not something I would get done everyday but it was I would definitely come back here if I need any follow up questions or have another tattoo again. Very clean! Process explained thoroughly! It was just a great experience than the one I got 40 years ago. Would highly recommend!
I got my first tattoo here and was absolutely floored by the incredible service! Joseph is an incredible artist that brought my vision to life exactly the way I wanted it. He clearly explained every detail of the process and aftercare and made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. I hope to come back to Inside Ink next time I’m in town!
From the moment we walked in the door we were beyond impressed with the service. My friend and I decided to get our first tatoo on a whim. We had ideas for what we wanted but were very indecisive. Dean and Joseph worked with our ideas letting us know the ins and outs of how tattoos work and change to be sure we were happy with the result. They took their time and were very patient. Dean did my tattoo and he is truly an artist. He made me feel comfortable the whole time. I am beyond happy with the results. I WILL BE BACK!
Overall the best experience I have had with a tattoo shop, I am extremely pleased with my work done on my shoulder cap, it is beautiful! Such a meaningful tattoo and the fact I got it done by someone who enjoys doing work that is meaningful and not pointless means a lot more. Dean did mine and my fiancé’s tattoo. Came out amazing and reasonable price, definitely understanding and worked with us price wise! Definitely 5 stars!!
My fiancé and I were on vacation and wanted to get tattoos. We looked for a tattoo shop before coming down & chose Inside Ink based on the reviews and the artists. We went in for a consult, were given a quote, and scheduled our appointment. The consult with Joseph went super quick- he was very personable. We decided the night before our appointment to change up our design, we contacted the shop; they were understanding and didn’t disappoint with the design at all. They were able to schedule us at the same time, were very thorough, went above and beyond to ensure cleanliness. We felt more than comfortable/safe in the shop. I can’t recommend Inside Ink enough. We’ll absolutely return if ever we’re in the area.
Im from KY. Went to IRB on vacay and a couple of us in our group decided we wanted a tattoo. My friend booked the appointment and im SUPER glad she picked Inside Ink!My tattoo was done by Dean. Very clean, Great price point, patient in working with me to get my tattoo just right, Cool, easy going guys, jammin music , AND they had a shop doggo named Buddy. He was our entertainment while we waited for each other to get our tattooslol Expirience was great. Ill likely be back on my next trip!
10/10 Highly recommend!! My son and I both got tattoos with Dean and Joseph, they were very professional and showed us each step before it was done. Ensured cleanliness with each step. This was my son’s first tattoo and I am so pleased he had this great experience as his first! ❤️
Everyone is super friendly and puts you at ease. The decor is calming and not “in your face” as some studios are. Every area of the studio is spotlessly clean. My artist, Joe, made sure I was aware of the health and safety procedures at every step. Joe’s work is fantastic! He’s a perfectionist who made sure my piece was exactly right. He took my idea and made it into an even better one! I couldn’t be happier and the price was very reasonable. I’m planning on returning next year! Best tattoo experience I’ve ever had! Highly recommend this studio! You won’t be disappointed!
We were away on vacation and decided we wanted to get tattoos to symbolize our vacation. The first place that we stopped the people were very rude and acted like they werent even interested 2 do a tattoo they already had two in the chair! So our next stop was inside Ink Tattoo Studio we definitely struck gold on that choice! The owner Dean is very nice and has a light hand and does excellent work. They are definitely within my price range and for the art that Dean did I couldnt be happier! I would refer anybody to inside Ink Tattoo Studio! They are very polite and are very attentive to their customers! They have even back their work by saying if your tattoo ever needs a touch-up come and see us and we will touch it up for free!
The two guys were amazing. My wife and I stopped to get tattoos while on vacation. We gave them an idea of what we wanted and they helped us out and even put some input on them to make them look better and they turned out great!! Thanks Dean and Joe for the awesome work and great conversation.
From the first day that I met Dean, I felt secure that he could help me with my vision to finish my sleeve. I gave him too many options of some artwork I liked and he helped me to narrow it down, keeping the Flow.Dean is very professional, walked me through all the steps, showed me the products and equipment he would be using in their sanitary packaging.**Pricing is fair and upfront, no surprises. **I will be anxiously awaiting my next sitting 🙏🏼 and showing off his work in the mean time!!!!
I came to Indian Rocks Beach to celebrate my 50th birthday. I wanted a tattoo and I do research!! Not only did Dean and Danie open the shop early for me coming from Colorado. They were professional, inspiring, and just fabulous. No words can express. If you are in Indian Rocks Beach and want a tattoo go see Dean and Danie. They are truly very special people. Can’t wait to go back and stop in to say hi!!
They were cool and he did a great job. Im 52 and it was my 1st tattoo. Im ready for #2 now. He made me so comfortable and confident I didnt feel any pain. I want more of his art definitely!
Great shop, great work, great price, and some of the best people Ive had the privilege to meet. They treated my wife and 3 teenagers like there own, while my wife and I were being tattooed. Dean is a master at his craft. I highly recommend this shop!
Had planned on getting the logo tattoo of my church and searched reviews. Inside Ink was everything I had read. Clean, professional and very informative on what they do through the process. Joseph hit it out of the park with my tat. I couldn’t be happier!! Joseph walked through different size options, what he was doing step by step and the followup care needed. You can see the passion he has for his art. I can’t say enough about Joseph and Inside Ink! Probably the best tattoo experience I have had! Thanks Joseph!!
Joseph was amazing. This was my first tatoo, and I am 63 years old. He puts us at ease, and explained everything before even starting. I was relaxed, comfortable, and the tatoo process was great. I have to admit it felt a little uncomfortable at times, but I had several colors in my tatoo. I would highly recommend Joseph, and the other artist on site, Dean. Both are great guys and artists!! Thank you both for such awesome work.
Inside Ink is a great tattoo experience!! Dean and Joseph are awesome!! As soon as you walk in, you have comfortable feeling. The shop is very clean. Everything is sterile. Joseph told me everything as he was going along. All sterilized needles etc were opened in my presence. I absoutly love my Tattooby Joseph and will be back. Great atmosphere!!! Great popole!!! Definatley a 5 Star...Not my first tat but my best..
I was at Inside Ink just yesterday (7/2/2020) and had gotten a mother-daughter tattoo w my mom. I got chip blowing bubbles and she had gotten miss Potts. We had our tattoos done by Joesph. They were done very, very nice and so creative like. He shows you everything he used while you’re in the chair as well, expiration dates and all! Everyone there is very welcoming and friendly. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to get a tattoo to go here!! You definitely won’t regret it! Just wanted to say thank you again guys for being so kind and making us feel as comfortable as we could! We definitely will be coming back for more in the future!!
Had an appointment with Dean today. The atmosphere is laid back and chill. They were very friendly and clean. I would say that if you are searching for a tattoo, whether from Florida or out of state visiting stop in and see them! I give them 10 stars!!
Joseph was absolutely amazing, he was very professional and very kind, it is a small tattoo but he did an awesome job and also tattooed my friends the same day. Best vacation and getting a tattoo at a clean shop and a great artist made it better! Thank you so much, Joseph!
Dean and his wife Danie were amazing. The studio was very clean and they were extremely helpful. Dean did an amazing job on my abstract pineapple tatoo. I would highly recommend Inside Ink tattoos.
I had an amazingly positive experience here! I came after hearing the owner, Mr. Dean, speak at my university, and I was inspired by him and wanted to support him in the best way I could. The shop is so clean, the staff is amazing and kind (don’t be fooled by their intimidating appearances, they’re sweethearts), and the work they produce is beautiful! I will 100% be returning and recommending them to everyone I know!
Inside Ink really strives to provide clients with a comfortable and enjoyable experience when getting tattoo work done. The environment is clean and professional while relaxed enough to put one at ease. Personally, I’ve had two black and gray pieces completed by Dean with excellent results.
I felt very comfortable while getting my tattoo done today! Joe was very thorough with explaining everything going on before getting my tattoo done and the after care. This tattoo means a lot with growing up on the water on Lake Ontario and coming down to Florida since I was a little kid. I highly recommend going to inside ink tattoo if you’re wanting to get a tattoo!
I was on vacation and had the itch to get a new tat :) I called Inside Ink and they got me in the next day!Joseph absolutely killed it! Such a charismatic person that made the experience 20x better! I live in Kansas but might have to make the trip when it’s time for a new tat because I loved it so much!!I cried after seeing my final tat because I loved it so much. I couldn’t be happier!
Jeremiah (Soul_Gold) is very talented! I use to drive 4 hours for his work, nice to have him only an hour away now. I am working on a half sleeve and he’s really customized each idea I’ve brought him. The new shop is so sleek. Love the decor and attention to detail. Great vibe!
Had a great experience with Inside ink! I went in with my mom and two sisters, it was very clean, everyone was very nice and helpful! No pressure and a very laid back. Both artists went out of their way to make sure we were happy before they started and several times throughout. Couldn’t have had a better experience! Thanks for a great tattoo!
I’ve known the owner, Dean Mckee for years almost as my own family, and i’ve had the pleasure of getting all my tattoos only from here and receive complete 100% satisfaction every time. Every art work i’ve ever had done was with a gentle hand and with complete certainty that it’s to my liking before any ink happens. I will recommend this place over and over again please come get your art!
These guys were hands down the most genuine and professional people Ive ever met that runs a tattoo business! They did exactly what we wanted , added their own flare, and accommodated our 5 year old child with Netflix and coloring supplies. Our tattoos look flawless and I will be using them again when in indian rocks! Thank you guys!
Dean was the coolest guy ever. Made time for me and my gf to both get tattoos Dean is a true professional at what he does and the details in his work proves it. Highly recommended
My gf and I were in town for vacation and stopped in on impulse. We had an appointment scheduled quickly. Both artists did an excellent job, the shop was incredibly clean and the services provided were on point. I can see making another visit if I am in the area again. I cannot recommend Inside Ink enough.
Our entire family got tattoos from Inside Ink, including: myself, my husband, my step-son, my step-daughter, and my son-in-law. Instantly we felt like family. They were amazingly talented with their artwork and craft, supported a clean environment, and gave amazing prices for the work provided. I would give Jeremiah and Dean at Inside Ink 10 stars if Google would let me!! Sending love from Minnesota... thanks for everything guys!!
We had a group of 8 people getting tattoos and they accommodated us super well. Very clean and professional environment too. Couldn’t be more happy with how our tattoos turned out. Will most definitely be going back to them any time im in the area!
Fantastic studio with down to earth artists who know thier $h!t. Down from Atlanta, and these guys treated me right, even on a walk-in.
Inside Ink is a wonderful shop with great people. It is extremely clean and professional. Joseph did an excellent job fixing a preexisting tattoo, he cared and put a lot of effort into his work. 10/10!!
I went to Inside Ink last week to consult with Joseph about correcting the tattoo I just had done while visiting my sister in KY. I was so worried that I would hate this mess on my lower arm for the rest of my life! Joseph was fantastic! He assured me he could correct it and create something I would love! He was so right! Inside Ink was super clean and Joseph was so professional. I absolutely love what he did to fix the mess and turned it into something more than I had originally dreamed of!
Joseph was amazing! He was meticulous to detail. He explained every step and put me at ease. I love, love, love my new tattoo!! I definitely recommend him!!
They were absolutely amazing, went for my first tattoos with them and they made the process so easy. It was very clean very friendly will absolutely be coming back for my next and highly recommend them. Thank you so much!
Came in for friday the 13th tattoos with a friend and received a level of customer service i’ve never gotten at a tattoo shop, much less a flash event! these gentleman were accommodating, informative, and did all they could to make us feel comfortable while we were there! plus we loved the work we got done. i can’t recommend this place enough. :)
Ian was awesome and would highly recommend! Dean and his wife are exceptional. Definitely highly recommend to all my friends!
Joseph did a awesome job on me and my moms tattoo! He was very helpful/ friendly/transparent/informative! Did exactly what we asked for!
Awesome shop! - 10/10 - Dean does amazing work and is genuinely a wonderful guy! Would absolutely return again (and plan to)
Inside Ink was the best shop I’ve been to. Living in the north, I would truly fly down to FL for any future tattoos. Joseph was fantastic, knowledgeable and professional!
I highly recommend inside ink! Everythings very clean & professional. Even as last minute walk ins he took his time with all 4 of us and did some beautiful work. Overall very welcoming people, thank you for making our trip to Florida even better!🌴🌞🐚
Ian did my tattoo in a clean and timely manner. Everyone is very friendly and I will be returning.
BEST TATTOO EXPERIENCE! Their hospitality, cleanliness, communication, and work was OUTSTANDING! 10/10 recommend & would travel back to Florida from Texas for another in the future.
Staff was very personable and made you feel very welcomed. The main artist even talked through the process of the tattoo. Definitely recommend this shop.
Got a tattoo done by Joseph while on vacation with the family. He was beyond professional and very good! I recommend this place to anyone and everyone.It was an honor! Thanks guys.
Dean is a man of class. Works hard on all his artwork and will help you make the right decision. Do NOT miss the opportunity to get a piece done with him.
Great place to get some ink, cool place to vibe and chill. Owner knows his stuff, Ive got a couple pieces from Ian. Good stuff. Cant recommend enough!
Awesome crew, very good work. Ian helped me come up with a sweet design that’s my favorite one so far!

Dean is an incredible artist, we are lucky to have him in our community. We wish you all the best and much success! 😁😁😁
Great price, took their time on both mine and my boyfriend’s tattoos and they both came out exactly as planned. I will definitely be returning.
Dean did a badass Celtic piece on my shoulder. I recommend him to anyone who needs good work!
