City On The Hill Tattoo

If you are thinking about getting a tattoo dont sale yourself short, go see Sean @ City On The Hill. Hands down best artist in the area, clean state of the art shop and equipment. I had to get a very ugly tattoo covered up and was on the fence on what shop to go to until I seen some of Seans work! Truly amazing! I will post another photo in a few weeks when I go get the shading and color.

AMAZING!!! Such an amazing experience in every way!!! I have gotten many tattoos and this by far is one of the best all around experiences!! The shop was very clean and Shawn was friendly and easy to talk to and took what me and my sister were wanting and made it come to life!!! He took his time and both tattoos came out absolutely perfect!! I highly recommend without a doubt!!! Thank you Shawn!!!

I recently had the absolute pleasure of getting a coverup tattoo done by Shawn, and I couldnt be happier with the results. From the moment I walked into the studio, Shawn made me and my fiancée feel comfortable and confident in the process. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident from the start.I had a previous tattoo that I’ve been wanting to coverup for almost 5 years. I’ve asked plenty of other tattoo artists who didn’t want to take the challenge. But Shawn didn’t even flinch and managed to transform it into a stunning piece of art. His creativity and skill are truly remarkable. Shawn took the time to listen to my ideas and incorporated them seamlessly into the design. The end result exceeded my expectations in every way.Not only is Shawn a talented artist, but he also has an amazing ability to connect with his clients. His calm demeanor and friendly attitude made the entire experience enjoyable. He ensured that I was comfortable throughout the entire session.The quality of Shawns work is outstanding, and I am already receiving compliments on my tattoo. I cant thank Shawn enough for his exceptional artistry and professionalism.I drove all the way from Tampa to get my coverup and it was definitely worth the trip. If youre looking for a top-notch coverup tattoo, Shawn is the artist to see. His expertise, creativity, and dedication to his craft are second to none. I highly recommend Shawn to anyone in need of a tattoo, whether its your first or a coverup. You wont be disappointed!

Freaking awesome. Very chill and the tattoo chair that Shawn has omg it was so comfortable I was falling asleep while he was doing my tattoo 🙃

Highly recommend! Shop is immaculate, No drama. Great team here. Mellisa and Shawn are a great pair. Friendly, approachable and super creative. My daughter got a tattoo as well. Had 3 ideas and Shawn blended them beautifully into one. Found our new shop for sure!

Wonderful experience, Shawn and his wife are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Shawn did a awesome job on my memorial tattoo for my husband. Thank you 🙏 again so much I love it.

Went in for the first time this afternoon to see about a cover up, very clean very friendly and down to earth. They literally made me feel like Ive known them for years. The guy Sean who does the ink work was absolutely amazing and beat my expectations by a million I definitely found my new tattoo artist and cant wait to go back in for more work. Also their prices were great as well.

Me and my Wife went here for a couples tattoo and met Shawn and his wife. We gave Shawn our idea of what are idea was, and he drew up exactly what we wanted. He made us feel at ease and was a constant professional the entire time. We both loved the work that he did and will be coming back in the Future. Sorry for the blood I bleed a lot.

Shawn is a consummate professional paying great attention to things being sterile. He worked with me to draw and get right the tat I wanted. He worked hard on getting the right font. He gave me sage advice on how much text would work for the available space and the reasons why. He made any number of suggestions that guided me in the right direction. Shawn’s work and his lettering are exquisite and I am highly satisfied. People in his line of work are often referred to as tattoo artists. The word artist applies to him to the nth degree. He is very easy to talk to which helps if you’re sitting there for a couple of hours. He was clearly very focused on my tat as he worked on it. I’ve had four tats by him now. I really don’t plan on going to anyone else in the future. Neither should you. He really, really is that good. And he’s always good for a bottle of water! 😁 Abby

I cant say enough about my tattoo. I Love it!!!! The lines, the shading are amazing!!! Im so happy with Shawns work. The price is right. The work is high quality. Clean friendly atmosphere. I will definitely be back!

Shawn is the absolute best, he went out of his way to help me with a memorial tattoo that meant so much to me. It came out perfect I’m so happy with it and so grateful to you guys. Highly recommend.

Had a great experience with artist Shawn Chalk. Me and my sister both left very happy with our new tattoos and were happy to meet nice and talented people. The whole shop is very clean and you will not be disappointed.

Shawn is very professional and his work does not disappoint! I love how my tattoo and my husbands tattoo turned out. Will definitely be going back soon!

Amazing job and awesome environment! Came here for my first tattoo and he did a wonderful job definitely recommend 10/10!!! Will be back for more!

Shawn did a great job on my new piece today. Very friendly. Shop is very clean. Definitely recommend checking his work. Has over 30 yrs of experience.

Love the vibe Love the artwork. Shawn is awesome, makes you feel comfortable and has a relaxing atmosphere. Definitely will be returning, can’t wait for another amazing tat.

Shawn was super professional and a great artist. Very pleased with the work he did.

Went to see Shawn about covering an old tattoo. Gave him an idea of what I wanted. He had some questions about coloring and the design. I told Shawn that I trusted his opinion. Minutes later he came back and showed me a design that I am very happy with. It’s beautiful!! I was very pleased at Shawn’s professionalism and artistic ability. Also props to Shawn’s wife Melissa! Very friendly and answered all of my questions on the phone. I’m glad I came across this clean and friendly family establishment. Will definitely be back. Thanks guys.

Highly recommend! Shawn does great work. He worked with me to get the design right and a good fit for the location! I’ve had a few done over the years but this one meant a lot and he made sure it was perfect for me.

First tattoo, I couldn’t be more happy with the results. Shawn was a great artist, from great work to good conversations.

Shawn is an incredible artist!!! Very lucky to have found City on the Hill and their local, family owned shop. We will be getting more work done by him very soon. Great job and thanks again!

Cant express how happy I was to receive art from city on the hill. Shawns work and artistry speaks for itself. Walked in had tattoo drawn up and tatted in the same day. in love with the quality of workmanship. I will definitely be returning soon for more work.

Shawn did an awesome job covering up some old ink. Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Just got my first tattoo at City on the Hill Tattoo. Loved it from the moment I messaged them on FB. They were quick to respond and answered all my questions. I shared my idea, Shawn took it, and made it into his own. I love it! Is it too soon to go back for another one 😋? Thanks so much y’all! Can’t wait to get more work done.

Highly recommended by a friend. My son wanted to get his first, and I wanted to get one covered. Shawn worked with us and came up with two beautiful designs. even tolerated me being a baby and provided lido ointment. Would def recommended.

10000/10 would recommend. Process was fast, work was perfect quality. Shawn is super cool and it shows in his work that he knows exactly what hes doing. Will definitely be coming back for all my work.

Great experience getting work done by Shawn. He did an awesome job, not heavy handed at all, and really knows his stuff. I appreciated him working with my original idea. Also, he and Melissa make great conversation to help pass the time. Very clean shop. Thanks for the tattoo, today!

Thank you so much Shawn and Melissa for making my sleeve dreams come true!! Sweetest people and cleanest/most comfortable tattoo experience I’ve ever had! 10/10 recommend and will be back to finish it out!!

Had a great experience with these guys. Came to Shawn with an idea and he really took the time (and patience) to work with me on making this design my own. The tattoo came out perfect. Definitely have found my new home for getting work done and highly recommend them.

Had an old tattoo redone and brought back to life today. Shawn and Melissa are very accommodating, friendly and professional. Shop is extremely clean and prices are very reasonable for excellent work. Would highly recommend if you are looking to have something done this is the place to go!

Great work Im very happy to have had Shawn be the artist. I came in with an idea and he ran with it. I am very impressed with his skills. I will be back to get my sleeves completed. I recommend that you check him out.

Shawns attention to detail, customer service, and wealth of experience make him perfectly suited for this industry. His creativity, talent, and incredibly flawless line work are sure to make your tattoo experience one that others will envy. He managed to complete my sleeve by adding his uniqueness, covering some previous work, and bringing new life to other pieces. If youre on the fence about choosing an artist, look no further, because youve found him!

One of the best experiences we’ve had. Got us in quickly and did amazing work. Definitely our home shop now! Shawn is top notch, professional and knowledgeable.

Absolutely LOVED my experience at City On The Hill Tattoo! Shawn and his wise Melissa were the sweetest, most attentive people! My tattoos came out perfectly! They’re everything I envisioned and then some! I will most definitely be coming back. I’m making this my new tattoo home! ❤️

Shawn was amazing, me and my best friend wanted spontaneous tattoos and Shane was able to get us in last minute and stayed after for us. Amazing line work, his light handed and fast. I will for sure be going back for more tattoos from him

Shawn was amazing and did an excellent job! His shop was clean and he was very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely return for my next tattoo.

I got my appointment within about two weeks from when I walked in. Shawn did an excellent job at making sure the tattoo design was exactly how I wanted and he did a amazing job. Amazing hospitality and offered to touch things up after a couple of weeks definitely recommend.

Shawn was hands down, great guy! Had a tribute piece done, he worked with me on design and knocked it out. Professional guy that does amazing work! Would definitely recommend and come back!

Out of the four tattoo shops Ive been to this is easily the best. Shawn and his wife treated me like I was a guest in their home and made it a very relaxed experience. If youre disappointed from a previous tattoo experience or nervous about getting your first one Id definitely check them out.

Amazing experience! Clean space, excellent artist and company. He fit me in on a last minute walk in for some Friday 13 fun! Fair pricing and excellent tattoo work. I will definitely go back!

I got my first tattoo (which quickly turned into a sleeve) done by Shawn Chalk, weve been working on it for the past few months and my last appointment is tomorrow. Beyond excited. He is clearly very experienced, professional, and makes sure the client is comfortable and happy. Cannot recommend enough! I will definitely be coming back for future work here!

This place was absolutely fantastic! I saw a post on there Facebook about walk ins welcome today and was able to get in the same day to have my tattoo complete. I would highly recommend them. My drive was totally worth the time. Tattoo shop was superior in every aspect. Thanks again for your amazing talent 👏 🙌 ❤️

Shawn Chalk’s work is incredible. I have been getting tattoos from him since 2012. Everything he does turns out amazing and I get compliments everywhere I go. Shawn has done work for me from Star Wars to lettering I couldn’t be happier!!

Amazing quality. Shawn covered up a lot of poor choice tattoos from when I was young and then proceeded to do a beautiful Japanese sleeve over them. Outstanding quality. I have found my tattoo artist for life. No need to go anywhere else. You won’t find better.

Shawn was very detail oriented, patient, and made my dreams come true. Best tattooist I’ve ever had.

Very professional and reasonable, super talented, I would recommend this shop to everyone that wants good atmosphere and professional services!!!

Shawn did an excellent job on my first tattoo. His wife explained everything in detail before my ink. I will be back for sure.

Awesome artist! Highly recommend.

Dont recommend unless you enjoy being blown off!! Was told by shawn no problem he would be able to do it the next day when I messaged and asked if he could refresh my old tatoo.. next day rolls around..shop is closed and no answer on the phone😡 when I finally get a hold of him he acts like he has no idea what Im talking about and it must have been a misunderstanding... My mission was to get my old tattoo refreshed while helping a new business.. Mission not accomplished :-(Tighten up, Shawn

Shawn was absolutely fantastic! I will definitely be going back for more ink! One of the best dudes Ive ever met!

I havent been to Shawns new place yet, but he did my tattoo a few years ago. He took my idea and ran with it! It turned out better than I couldve imagined and I still get compliments from strangers to this day!

First timer here and Shawn did a great job! I have nothing but good things to say about this shop! Definitely plan a tattoo here if you are looking for a great artist!

I’ve known Shawn for nearly thirty years and in that time, his skill as an artist and a professional has impressed me. I wear his work proudly! I can’t wait to visit his new shop and get some more work done.

Thank you so much for making our family tattoo day such a great and memorable experience. The work on all three turned out beautiful! Will definitely be back again!
