Archer Ink is the real deal! I came into Archer with a bit of a tricky tattoo idea and Jordan knocked this out of the park. I am beyond happy with the patience and effort she put into making this tattoo perfect. Super clean and organized shop! Very friendly staff and great atmosphere. Still have to go in for some shading on this piece but it is amazing as is. Will definitely be coming back!

I just had my second tattoo by Jordan, and once again, she did an amazing job! Jordan is not only super talented but also incredibly nice and friendly, which makes the entire experience so much better. I couldnt be happier with the result. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a professional and comfortable tattoo experience.

Archer Ink is now my go-to for tattoos! I found Jordan on instagram and loved her work so decided to book with her. She is one of the nicest humans I’ve ever met and she does amazing work. So much so that three weeks after getting my first piece with her, I saw she had walk-in availability on Instagram and showed up with my mom for a matching tattoo. She has knocked it out of the park every time! She even puts up with all the challenges I give her with a smile, like making her replace a stencil multiple times or my intense muscle twitching during critical linework. She takes her time and you can really tell that she cares about her work and wants to love your tattoo just as much as you do. The shop is incredibly clean (especially the bathrooms, cleaner than most hospitals I’ve been to) and it is a very comfortable environment all around. The owner, Shawn, is incredibly kind as well. I’ve had some very poor experiences with male tattoo artists in the past but Shawn, even while not being the one to tattoo me, is always sure to make the tattooing environment safe and fun for everyone. I definitely recommend Archer Ink and will be returning continuously for all my future tattooing needs.

Juan did an awesome job with my thigh piece. He was tentative, professional, and it looks awesome with clean lines. Easy to work with and listens to you with giving friendly feedback. Def recommend him and everyone at Archer Ink! The studio has good music, nice people, and overall would love to hang out here like a cool coffee shop. Very clean.

12 years after completing my first Ironman, I finally got a tattoo celebrating my accomplishments. I worked with Jordan and she was great. We worked on the size and placement and she was very patient. She did a great job with all three symbols in my M-DOT. The cactus (IM-AZ), the oil derrick (IM-Tulsa) and the state capitol (IM-WI) all look great, especially the cactus! The shop was very clean and is everyone is extremely professional. Ill post a picture after it heals. Ill be going back to get the other calf done later this year. I highly recommend Archer Ink.

I had a horrible tattoo done elsewhere, which Jordan at Archer Ink covered up beautifully. She was considerate of my opinions, respectful of my time, patient as I debated aspects of my ink. The company had great response time to messages as well. Clean facility, though I wish you could see the lights on from outside- it looks closed even when they are open.

Best tattoo shop!Shawn came highly recommended by a friend. I wanted a small tattoo dedicated to my mother. He is truly a master and a genuine guy. I was in a lot of doubt about it since the tattoo was so personal. He really surprised me with his talent to image and put together truly a piece of art. Even with a sore neck this dude stayed creative and putted some love in my tattoo. His studio is clean, comfy and looks awesome. He makes you fell like a friend and he cares about your needs.Thank you Shawn for a fun experience. I will be back for my next tattoo!

I’ve never felt such a good energy in a tattoo shop. Prices are more than fair, and the talent is well worth it. I gave Paisley a general outline of what I wanted and it was as if she read my mind. I will most definitely continue to come back here for all of my tattoos!

Review №128

First, let me say that I traveled from Maryland to get my largest piece to date done here. The shop was so clean and the staff was extremely pleasant. At no point did I feel like a client or a customer. I felt like family. They joked with me and made the painful tattooing process much more enjoyable. They cheered each other on through their work and it’s just nice to be in such a positive environment knowing how competitive the tattoo business can be. Additionally, their quality is out of this world! That’s the main reason I went to see Paisley originally. I had seen her work on Facebook and Instagram and I knew she was perfect for my half sleeve. She took her time in making sure the design was perfect. She has an extensive collection of ink which means my tattoo is colored beautifully and perfectly. I wasn’t able to get my entire half sleeve done during my trip, but I plan on returning in March to finish it up.In summation, the shop is immaculate, the staff is friendly as can be, and you definitely get so much more than what you pay for here. 5 stars isn’t enough. Thank you Paisley, Shawn, and Crystal! You guys are the best!

I got my 1st tattoo almost 19years ago and this has been my favorite place to get worked on by far! Clean, professional, great pricing and most importantly HIGH SKILLED! Good vibes whenever I go into the shop. They are passionate about what they do! I can not say enough good things about archer ink!

Shawn did an amazing job making my first tattoo experience a breeze. His shop was clean and he set up everything right in front of me. He was friendly and easy to talk to making the time fly by. There is no doubt in my mind I will use him again when i’m ready to get another.

Very impressed with this shop! Def the cleanest shop i have ever step foot into, Shawn knows more about tattooing than i ever thought possible. He finished my piece on my forearm tonight & i couldn’t be happier with it. Archer Ink is def a friendly, welcoming environment & Shawn is super professional! 5 stars from me, never going anywhere else! Thanks again!

I discovered this place thanks to reviews. I was not disappointed! Crystal did my first tattoo a month ago for my dad who recently passed away and Paisley did a cover up tattoo for me today! I’ll never go anywhere else now and I already booked another appointment :). Everyone is Incredibly sweet and friendly and they make getting a tattoo a fun time! Highly recommend!! 🥰

Highly disappointed with the quality of work I received. Lines uneven, some not even connected, some lines thicker then ithers, overall just disappointed. I was tattooed by the owner who as far as conversation and treating the customer I have nothing bad to say about. However this is something forever on my body and not till I washed off the stencil was I heartbroken to see how bad it was.

Best shop I’ve ever been too. No joke. Super cool guy, easy to talk to, makes the time go by quick. He did a kickass job on my leg piece. Worth every penny and then some. Can’t wait for him to do more work on me! Thanks Shawn! (You’re aight, I guess) 😉 amazon experience and HIGHLY recommend!

I went in to Archer Ink to get a tattoo on my left arm. I had a few ideas but wasn’t sure exactly what to get. After talking with Shawn, he drew an amazing tattoo with great detail for an amazing price. In the past few days, I have been getting so many comments on the tattoo. The shop was clean and Shawn definitely knows what he’s doing. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for quality work at a fair price.

I had a tattoo that was over 20 years old, that I wanted covered up. I looked around for a tattoo artist locally, and Im glad I stumbled into Shawn at Archer Ink. I was impressed with his portfolio, and he was happy to work with the idea that I had of something I wanted. He came up with a piece that not only kept with the theme, but was also unique - no small feat with all the Irish themed work out there! Cleanliness is a top priority with Shawn - I couldnt imagine a cleaner shop. The work took a while, but Shawn is a great guy. The time flew by and I was never bored. The art, like the rest of the work Ive seen of his, is top notch. I expect that Ill return for more, and I would recommend Shawn to anyone. AAA+++

Would definitely recommend this shop!!!I stopped in on a whim and was not disappointed! I worked with Gage to design what I wanted, he listened to what I wanted and gave some advice and suggestions but didn’t push or persuade me away from what I had in mind. It turned out better then I pictured and the quality is spot on. Shop is clean and felt like I was hanging out with friends. Thank you for giving me a great piece of body art, I am so happy with it.

Was there for Friday the 13th tattoo yesterday. I have no idea what that chick is talking about. The artist took clients in order. The guy that went to go grab food was waiting there prior and he ended up having to wait like everyone else.I love my new tattoo. Exactly what I asked for. Very clean, courteous and professional
