Environment was great and friendly. My first tattoo was on my ribs but it wasn’t very painful. Kenny, who did mine and my friend’s tattoos and piercing was very kind and quick. All while helping other customers as well. Would definitely recommend plus tattoo guarantees so no need to worry if you need touch ups.
Just got my first tattoo here. I came in like an hour before close as a walk in and everyone was great. Got exactly what I wanted, it was super quick, didnt hurt at all. The artist was Devin and he was super nice. Im definitely going back for my next one.
After seeing some work done on a friend of mine by Lou Hansen, my wife and I stopped in Saturday afternoon. We talked with Lou, and my wife showed him what she wanted. He said, Give me a few, and he drew it up. Lou does awesome work, and his attention to detail is great. We enjoyed our conversation with him while he inked my wifes leg. Hes very down to earth and, as said before, great at what he does. After he finished her tattoo, we discussed my tattoo and what I wanted. Mine is going to be about 3 hours, so Im going to set that up in the future. I then showed him a drawing my son had done in elementary school, welp next thing he had it drawn up and inked me too. Both tattos came out amazing. Mine looked exactly like my sons drawing, which made me very happy. I cant wait to see what he does with my future tattoo. Everyone one in the shop is down to earth and very nice. I could not have gotten a better experience than the one we had. 8-22-24 update, all three of us in the house have gotten new tattoos by Lou. I got my monkey bones, my wife got the steer, and my son, the skull. Lou is a great tattoo artist.
Absolutely in love with my experience getting my tattoo done! Devin was amazing made me feel comfortable the whole time. Gave him the idea of what I wanted and it came out better than I could have asked for. Will definitely go back and see him again to get another one. Could not be more pleased with start to finish of the whole process! Thank you Devin for making my second tattoo amazing I can’t stop looking at it! 10/10 would recommend
Absolutely amazing! Don is amazing at what he does! My husband came in with a tattoo that was done in 2005 and needed to add our youngest to his tattoo. The tattoo was faded and lines were a mess. Don reworked the tattoo and brought the tattoo back to life and added our youngest name to the tattoo to blend perfectly with the tattoo. The tattoo looks amazing! My son turns 18 on the 17th of June and so we wanted this done before he turned 18. We showed our son and he was so happy to see the tattoo as well! Thank you so much Big City and Don for taking care of this for my family, you really don’t know what this means to us! If you are needing a tattoo done this is the place to go for sure!!
I didnt make an appointment walk ins are welcome, there was a deal 50$ for my septum piercing, felt welcomed and my peircer gave me instructions and tips on how to clean and maintain it, vibrant art on the wall, and if i got another piercing I would get it here I really recommend it over many places especially the price, cleanliness was great and my septum healed perfectly and sits in a great spot. Thank you, big city tattoo!! You all are doing great work. Around November, I might be there again for a belly piercing!!
I scheduled an appointment via messenger for a small forearm tattoo the day before. I arrived at time of appointment and my artist (whoever it was supposed to be, still have no idea who) wasn’t even there. I waited for an hour with no communication from anyone. The piercer in the shop had no idea either. After an hour he makes some more calls inquiring who was supposed to do my tattoo and got told they would be here in 10-15 minutes. I left. After I left I got a message stating the artist had transportation issues and had just arrived and if I would come back they would give me 1/2 off, and then stated if I couldn’t come back today they could schedule another day and would honor the discount and then give me a gift certificate as well. How can I trust that the artist will be there next time? Or communication? Awful communication and customer service. Glad I didn’t get a permanent tattoo from them. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
Did a walk in 30 minutes prior to store closing with my brother and cousin. usually we would set up appointments, especially for tattoos, but this night we had family event and long story short we wanted to get a tattoo to honor our grandmother. walked in and Devin was the only artist there. we asked if he could do a last minute tattoo, its a short letter from our grandmother and there was 2 of us. Devin took us in and tattood my cousin and I within 1hr even including preparations and everything. my tattoo is healing perfectly & I appreciate you so much Devin! such fast work and amazing line work!
Phoenix was an amazing tattoo artist and goes out of his way to make sure you know his tools are completely sterilized. I appreciate Pheonix for getting me my brother in the last minute tattoos for our dad on the day of his funeral. I will never forget my dad thanks to Pheonix taking the time to tattoo my father’s name and dates on my arm. I highly recommend going to Phoenix for your tattoos. He is amazing. 💕💕
I’ve gotten a couple tattoos at Big City and being a regular still wasn’t enough to earn the owners trust. She accused the artist I go to see and I for doing shady stuff. The environment is not safe and welcoming with her around. Multiple other artists there last only so long and it’s probably cause they saw who she really was. Would not recommend business here.
I Got my first tattoo and Im not going to lie I was a little nervous. But Devin the tattoo artist was amazing!!! He made sure I was comfortable and he really has a light hand did not hurt at all. I will definitely be going back to Devin for My next tattoo 😁. Thank you for the awesome experience!!!
Just got a couples tattoo done this weekend and the service was excellent! Absolutely no wait, everyone had a smile on their face, and the tattoos came out beautiful. My fiancé and I really enjoyed how conversational and personal the staff were, and I plan on going back for any of my tattoo/piercing needs. Thank you guys!!
My friend and I came in yesterday for tattoos and had a great experience! Amber was our artist and she was so great to talk to, and the vibes were amazing! She was very laid back and we felt so comfortable the whole time! Absolutely no complaints here, will definitely keep coming back!
Don was the best piercer ever I got my nipples and belly button pierced and it went by so quick and smooth definitely 10/10!!!! Recommended!!!Ri was also the best assistant ever!!!!
Amazing and professional place. I had issues with piercing I had done in other shop. Kenny was great at fixing the issues and even gave me a new clean piercing. Would be coming back for any future piercings.
Amber is amazing. She is detail oriented like every artist should be. Came as a walk in an help me edit and set up my designs. Even told me what she wasnt comfortable with so I wouldnt be disappointed. I appreciate that a lot for sure. I like working with artists who are confident and know their skill set and own it. Plus she is a lot faster than I am used to without missing quality. And cool af to talk to. 😎As far as the shop itself. It is very beautiful inside. The offer some snacks and water. Very awesome first experience here and will be back probably tomorrow to get another my the other artist!
Phoenix did a phenomenal job, he is very professional with his work and makes sure that you are as comfortable as can be, super happy with my tattoo and will definitely be back for more!
After almost 2 years I finally got my memorial tattoos for my son. Amber Hart not only nailed his handwriting, she did the tattoo with respect. Loved it (and her) so much I brought my husband back last weekend to get his larger ‘Father and Son Memories’ piece. Highly recommend Amber! Very sterile environment complete with an upbeat vibe
My local piercer JAMES here is always professional, funny and fast! Me and my family only use this shop for our piercings for years. We love the vibe and music and care we get here. #1 in the area!! Thank you BIG CITY!!
I took my mom (who is almost 50) here for her first tattoo and we had a great experience! Justin and Amber were so patient and accommodating - my mom was nervous but they put her at ease, answered all her questions, and she had a great first tattoo experience. Thanks again to the both of them for the great work - we will be coming back!
Came to Big City Tattoo with the design below and Rico really did it justice. It took 3.5 hours but it was worth it and I really appreciated his attention to detail. As you can see in the photos, it came out beautifully. It may be my favorite tattoo!
James was so great, he was professional even with all his jokes! Definitely glad my friend and I went to Big City Tattoo and got pierced from him!
I had the best experience with getting my piercings done by the owner Don. I highly recommend
Whispers is an awesome piercer. He pierced my daughter, he is a great communicator. I recommend him 100%. Professional and funny too.
I wasnt sure where I wanted to get a tattoo at, it was a very last minute decision. I came across this tattoo place and was greeted right away. Since I didnt have an appointment I asked if there was anyone available. Sure enough there was, my first female tattoo artist. I have over 30 so it was very exciting to experience this. Her name is Amber and she I amazing. Just got something small and not a lot of detail, her line work and shading is outstanding. If you are looking for a female artist I would highly recommend her. Im for sure going back to her!
Kenny was an amazing artist. Hes very light handed and puts a lot of effort into his work. Definitely recommend him 😊
The guys there are very loyal, respectful & well mannered. I highly recommend them and always trust me & my family with their work.
The place to be at to get your tattoo done right. Gotta see the artist Lou, Rico, Billy, and Riah. All of them are very helpful and friendly environment.
This is a great shop with great people and awesome energy! Devin is an amazing artist and very sweet person ! Very welcoming and professional! Love them! Thank you for being so welcoming and making me feel at home!
I got my septum pierced and my daughter messed with it and it immediately closed! Don got me back in immediately and repierced it for me and was so sweet and didn’t make me feel embarrassed about it! I will only go to him now for future piercings
Devin was very professional and friendly. I’m happy I chose him for my first tattoo! His line work was quick and smooth.
I came in for a simple outline tattoo, I had kenny as my artist and let him do his thing and this man killed it, absolutely respect and recommend will be coming back for more. I can not express how impressed i am with his work
Devin got us right in we showed him a picture of what we wanted he drew up something even better! We are very happy with our new tattoos!
Amazing job! Luis was fantastic. The atmosphere was clean and fun. I had a great time and got exactly what I wanted. My family’s “go to” place for tattoos.
Phoenix was my tattoo artist and he was absolutely wonderful! Very knowledgeable and talked me through the process. Highly recommended!!
Went to get my daughter ears pierced. Everyone at the shop was extremely friendly. They had amazing patience and customer service. Never been to a tattoo shop that went way above and beyond to please their customers! Big City is incredible and definitely recommend it to anyone!
My daughter and I got matching tattoos on our mini vacation and Absolutely would recommend them to anyone...we had a fun and great experience!!! 👍
I’ve been seeing Cass for a while now and am so excited to see her in this shop! She’s professional and so wonderful. She creates a safe environment and it makes me feel so taken care of. If you have never seen her work, definitely check it out, she’s freaking awesome!!!
Had Justin as my tattoo artist. It was my first tattoo so I was worried of the procedure including aftercare and even my own pain tolerance of it. They walked me through so smoothly, doing everything in front of me and reviewing me through all the materials, tattoo process, etc as they went. Answered every single one of my questions. Even offered to do a small inkless test in order to help me anticipate the pain level. I drove a fair distance to get my tattoo from here and I would ABSOLUTELY do it again. I love my tattoo! Will update after it heals.
Went there for my first tattoo and Devin really helped me out. Knew the show my tattoo was referencing and everything, great first experience.
Had an amazing experience with the extended Friday the 13th experience. @billyraydube was my husband and I tattoo artist for the night. He was absolutely wonderful, we had such a great vibe from the beginning and will definitely be back for more tattoos. He was quick, not heavy handed, great with small lines and the color was great. Had great conversation, had a lot of interests in common and could tell his passion for his art. 100000% recommend
My experience was amazing! I will recommend anyone to come here. James made my experience very worthwhile and the other employees were fun too.
Kenny was great! Fast & precise and very cleanly!! Come here! I will definitely be back. Thank you!!
Don at Orange Park is the BEST! Clean space, great customer service, knowledgeable and willing to answer questions. Will definitely be going back!
Devin did matching tattoos for me and my husband. He was great, and it was a good experience.
I went here to get a tribute tattoo for my late father and Devin Lipp did an amazing job replicating my dads handwriting. This shop has a great vibe & everyone was super nice, 10/10 would recommend.
Muna and Don were great! I was able to get in last minute and Don was able to do the exact tattoo that I wanted
Was looking around to get a tattoo of my deceased parents signatures above my knee and i spoke to the owner and Muna was able to get me in same day with Billy. I have had my fair share of some terrible tattoos from places but man this one was amazing. Owner is so friendly and communicative. Billy was hilarious and such a vibe. Big city will now be my go to shop for tats. Love the vibe of the place, the people, everything. Thank you for getting me in and tattooing the most meaningful tattoo i have and doing it exactly how it was pictured❤️
Great service, the guy who did it was so nice and gentry. got a nose piercing and it looks so good.
Awesome experience!! Came in over the weekend for a last minute tattoo and Jason was awesome to work with and definitely made my friend and I feel welcomed! He did an amazing job!! Also shout out to Amber for the quick last minute piercing!! Definitely recommend!!
I came in for a tattoo and the service was completely horrible. Prices are extremely high for simple tattoos. Would not recommend to anyone.
Big thanks to Jarvis for hooking me up on my new ink. It is better than I could have imagined!! I will definitely be coming back!!
Phoenix was amazing!! My daughter and I gave him the idea we wanted and Phoenix made it amazing! Better then I envisioned!
Lou did the best job on my chest tattoo today! Love the atmosphere at the shop.
Rico did my tattoo and did an amazing job on it. He was very chill and professional with his work. Will definitely come back and get more tats from him!
Absolutely love my new tattoo! Devin definitely did a great job and would definitely recommend him.
Me and my friend went in for tattoos and had the best experience! Everyone is super nice and chill, and got the most sick tattoo❤️ Definitely recommend this place
The staff were amazing & Don did a great job on my tattoo. 10/10, will be returning in the future
Devin was sick! Stayed after hours and easily got my tattoo done!
Amber did my daughters piercing. She was very knowledgeable, patient and nice. She explained the care procedures and answered our questions with no hesitation. We would come back for sure to see her.
James was great, recommended, he redidmy bellybutton piercing. No pain!
Awesome people!!Walked in with daughter for matching tattoos. They had a full house but worked us in quick and did an amazing job!
Devin did my tattoo and it’s beautiful, I love it. He’s a very nice person and kind.
Our son got his first tattoo here with Rico, who also did our ring finger tattoos. We reached out to set an appointment and send him the idea my son had for a design.Rico did not disappoint! Amazing work!! Very laid back, sterile and professional environment! Will definitely continue to come back! While waiting, I decided to get my nose pierced as well by Jayme. He was very knowledgeable about what I was getting done and even explained to me the devices he was using! That was very much appreciated! Thank you to the artists over at Big City, we will be back!
My friend and I came in to get two shark tattoos today. When one tattoo artist (who no longer works there) fell through Justin came in and killed it! We both love our tattoos and ended up having a great experience. The staff were very personable and friendly. We enjoyed talking to Justin and Jayme (piercer) while getting our tats done. We will definitely come back for future tattoos and piercings!
He was so nice and so professional he really knew what he was doing, and I am happy. He was the person to come.
Went today and got 3 piercings with my sister, nice atmosphere, experienced staff, will definitely be back 🙂
Walked in for a tattoo. At first glance the shop is very gross. I could hear rats in the ceiling.and I saw black mold in the tiles in places. Tbh this place needs to be shut down. The the owner has zero knowledge of tattooing. I would not recommend going to place. I will never go back there.come I did not get a tattoo done. I am sure the health department will love to hear all
My friend and I were walk in guests asking for two fine line tattoos and the artists were so welcoming. They took the time to sketch out just what we were looking for making sure we loved it, and all for an amazing price. I am so happy with our tattoos and I would come here every day if I could.
I have gotten the majority of my tattoos from here and they’re amazing every time, i came in today for their friday the 13th sale and Billy Dube did the cutest little ghost for me, he’s amazing! would give more than 5 stars if possible!
First time coming here. I came in to get a quote on a tattoo and was able to come in the next day to get it done. Lou did an amazing job on mine! I definitely recommend Lou and any of the artists here.
Google wouldn’t let me add a second review, so I’m editing my last one!June 2023 - Amber is a gem! She handled my birthday tattoo. I had a consult with her 2 weeks beforehand; she was really receptive to my ideas and came back with awesome designs. Once it came time to sit in the chair it only got better from there. Great vibes, great music, and a phenomenal tattoo! Totally left on cloud nine!Dec 2021 - Rico was so awesome to work with! Great atmosphere, very comforting, respectful and fun conversation. Other artists were friendly as well. Will definitely return for the next tattoo!
Justin is beyond amazing. I came in wanting a simple neck and arm tattoo and I ended up showing him a previous tattoo that I did notLike…he told me how he could fix it and I came back the next day to get it corrected. The tattoo that I once hated is now something beautiful! He is very sanitary and professional and made sure that I was comfortable during the whole process. If you’re wanting a tattoo artist who is knowledgeable and very personable…Justin is your guy!
I absolutely loved my expletive my piercer was chad. He was absolutely amazing, spectacular. Made me feel comfortable. I got like 4 piercings and it was really quick. Overall great experience definitely am going back for more.
The absolute sweetest people ever!! I highly recommend this place. They’ve always taken care of me:)
Got my nostril pierced here. they used the wrong jewelry, pierced it crooked as hell, and the piercing got all messed up. place sucks. would not go back, you shouldnt either.👎edit to reply to the owner: I dont have my legal last name on here for privacy reasons, which is likely why you cant find me in your records. But I got it pierced on a Friday the 13th special which is probably why it was pierced incorrectly. Im not looking for a refund, just to let others know about my experience with this shop as far as piercings go.
Easy fast process and my piercer was so fun! I will be coming back again ❤️
Billy did a great job on my tattoo. Very detailed, my anime tattoo just pops and I love it. Billy is very polite and professional and I highly recommend him for the artwork he makes!
Went in as a walk in and it was an awesome experience.Shoutout to Muna, Amber, Lex, and Tyler. Tyler even offered me pizza. Seriously nice people and I will be going back.Amber did an excellent job on my realism alligator tattoo.Thanks to y’all!
Devin was so nice! The tattoo behind my ear was so fast and quick. Highly recommend
They were amazing and very professional. All my questions were answered I appreciate you all for my experience
Devin was so kinda and handled my pain really well, will definitely be going back!
First tattoo, Devin took care of me and made me feel comfortable through it all
Had my Nose Pierced by Jayme the night after my daughters were pierced. One septum and one helix. They were still laughing when they got home and I was so relieved because this Mom knew they were nervous. I loved how he used humor to diffuse them and let them ease through it. We all went back the next day with another daughter and they were right. Just the right amount of humor. Very clean. Always telling us what to expect so no surprises. We were laughing the whole time. Thank you for a great experience. I was not sure about it. I’ve hit it a thousand times, but it just keeps on staying put. No problems at all. Makes me want to try the helix. Forget piercing pagoda. Now know why it never worked when pierced from there. Thank you Jayme for explaining everything so well. We will be back. I’ll keep my tattoo artist here. The tattoo artist there (with the gauges) didn’t impress me with his girlfriend finishing his every sentence. She seemed a little young and very unprofessional while talking to new customers and her legs draped over his. Too big of an age difference honestly. Please tell me she is over 18. Something seemed off there. 🤷♀️ Anyway…not my circus, not my monkeys! We will come find you for our next piercing. We have recommended you also to a few people. Hope they have treated you well. 😀.
Chad is awesome! He pierced my brow and I didn’t even feel it. And he also repierced my nostril today and didn’t charge me the full price as it wasn’t fully closed. Overall, really good piercings and a clean, safe feeling environment. Brought several friends to get theirs done here also! Chad you rock! Give this main a raise! 🙏
My daughter,two roommates and I. All went in for piercings. Walking-in all at once. 2 nose. 2 tongues. We were in and out in no time. Best service ever. Great pr>ce. He did an amazing job. We will definitely be going back.
I just left about 3 minutes ago and all i can say is they’re incredible. After getting pierced my blood pressure dropped extremely fast (which was due to a medical issue of mine. Nothing they did.) and they were very helpful trying to get me to feel better. I almost completely blacked out and they were patient with me and very nice. I even got a jolly rancher and a Japanese candy thing after. I was very happy to go in there. I got pierced by Jayme and he was amazing. James also sat in there for a bit and told me jokes and stuff. They’re just great. 10/10 would recommend
Do not go here, both tattoos I’ve gotten done by Devin have deeply scarred my skin
My friend & I came in Sunday at noon for an appointment & the tattoo artist never showed (they no longer work there), the owner was very apologetic & everyone who worked there was awesome (specifically Justin & Jayme & the owner Muna). Justin ended up doing our tattoos & he absolutely crushed it! It was a great experience & we definitely will be going back.
Jayme is the bomb!! He pierced my nose and my boyfriends ears for a very good price! He has a very steady hand and really made us feel comfortable. He showed us that everything was sterile and new. Overall a very professional and great experience! Will definetley go back for sure!!!
Devin did an awesome job. I love my new tattoo
Amazing experience! Got double high nostril and James did an awesome job. Very professional and very nice. When I pulled one out he came in and help me fix it. Highly Recommend going here. Me and My family gets tattoos from here as well they are incredible artists and just an overall incredible store.
Had such a warm welcoming as a walk-in for me and my fiancé. We were able to be helped same day with amazing results by Rico. Not only was he extremely talented, but also carried great conversation, had extraordinary professionalism and was easy to work with in order to come up with a design we were happy with. Prices reflected the amazing quality he put in and I will definitely be returning! Go see Rico! You won’t be disappointed!!
This is the best tattoo/piercing shop in town. I had a tough week, and decided to treat myself. These folks were so kind and professional. Both my tattoo artist and my piercer were so patient and gentle, they listened. The staff didn’t have that stinky attitude that most other shops have. My experience was truly therapeutic. I HIGHLY recommend this place.
From the first time I walked in you can feel the good vibes from the atmosphere and the artists. Rico, the man who gave me my first tattoo, was extremely professional, kind, respectful, and very knowledgeable, talented, and my tattoo and his past work is phenomenal. He made sure I was comfortable without hindering his space to move and work freely. I am looking forward to coming back in the future for more work from Rico
I didnt have an appointment but Rico made time for me. Never met him but this guy put alot of work in to draw up 2 separate designs for my fiance and I. He was fast, but not rushed, and just very confident in his work. Made me feel very comfortable. His prices reflected quality and I dont think I could have left happier. Cant wait to come back!
Best experience Ive had at a tattoo shop hands down. The atmosphere is very good and the staff is super friendly. Shout out to Jayme who did my piercings. I got three piercings and barely felt anything. Hes good at his craft. Definitely recommend this place.
I went in and saw Shane. He did an amazing job on my tat! Best experience Ive ever had getting tatted and I have over 30 tats! his color work is awesome and he works quick! He was extremely accommodating and helpful with deciding placement and the designof my tattoo!!! He truly wants to do artwork that you will love! He is also an extremely personable and down to earth dude! I will always recommend him to anyone who asks.
Come on in and let us take care of you!!!
Devin was/is amazing!!! Very professional and definitely will be back!
Drew an idea and had Chelsea redraw it for me. She did an amazing job! Great artwork. Probably the lightest hand Ive had tattoo me before. Super happy with the whole experience. Enjoyed it so much that my teenager went to her as well for her very first tattoo.
Got my eyebrow pierced here, Jaymes great. Walked me through the whole thing, didnt hurt at all, and hes real fun to talk to. Made sure I knew how to care for it afterwards, and even took a look at a nose piercing I got done somewhere else since I was worried about if it was healing right. Awesome place, gonna be coming back a whole lot.
Rico is really good at what he does, vibes were great and made me feel really comfortable. i wish i would’ve gotten my first tattoo done by him :) i told all my friends about him lol
Went in for a piercing for my self and my teen girls, Jayme was great! He kept the teenagers laughing although they were ready to flee in fear of it hurting 🤣. (Both girls confirmed the belly ring didnt hurt after the fact.) Shop was super clean and really all the staff in there at the time were super nice.
Mark is great!! I got 2 tattoos done by him today and he is amazing! Very nice and personable. He was recommended by family who only have work done by him. Im very happy with my decision to go to him and Im already planning my next session!
I got my tragus pierced by Jayme recently and it was the best experience with a piercer by far. I have 12 ear piercings and Jayme was the easiest to talk to and was super meticulous making sure everything, even me, was okay. It’s already healing so nicely and I will definitely be back soon for another piercing
Great experience! Devin was so patient and kind and he does great work! I will definitely come back.
I took my 16 year old daughter here for her belly button to be pierced for her birthday. The guy doing piercings was Jayme. All seemed great while we waited our turn until he finished with his customer and told us that he needed to get high before he pierced her. He walked around with a blunt in his hand with even other children in the lobby, and he then went out in front of hos business and started smoking a blunt with his tattoo artists, my 16 year old got way to scared for him to pierce her while he was stoned and we walked out. I have no issues with the man smoking. But do it on ur own time. Not when you are about to pierce a child🤦🏼♀️
Rico did my friend and I’s tattoos and he was super kind & chill throughout the whole experience! It was my first time getting a tattoo so I was super nervous but then when he started tattooing I realized I just worked myself up for no reason lol. I will definitely be back to get work done by him. Definitely recommend !!
This is my second time getting tatted here and I loved it both times!! Both artists made me comfortable, engaged in conversation with me, and on top of that provided me a tattoo that’s exactly how I wanted it. My fav tattoo artist is Jake and he was literally hilarious, I definitely plan on going back to him!
Devin was amazing and didn’t judge!! 12/10
Just got a small tattoo done below my collarbone yesterday by Hambone. Not only was he extremely chill, he made me feel very welcomed and comfortable. His tattoo skills are on point and I left loving the work that he did! The business had a very clean relaxed environment and the overall experience was very pleasant. Needless to say I would definitely recommend this place for all your tattoo needs!
Awesome guy Kenny gentle and smooth clean as well
Was visiting out of state and decided to get a last minute tattoo. They were able to fit me in easily and were so helpful. I was in and out with high quality work that I’m in love with.
First of all, Luis is my absolute favorite artist there. My guy! He does the best work and always makes me feel comfortable throughout the entire tattoo. I have major OCD and he takes the time to make sure it’s perfect before we do it, with no passive aggressiveness. The last time i came for Luis, however, Jayme actually got me into a piercing which i never do! I got my nose pierced and he was so sweet the entire process. He even wiped my tears for me afterwards! We talked about music and life and i felt not only comfortable with my piercing, but the person piercing me. I would definitely go back to Jayme if i ever decided piercings over tattoos, LOL. i’m grateful for people like them. ❤️ Will always come back to this shop.
I hate the way my artist was treated. There’s no reason for me to ever return.
Got tattooed by Rico and he was great. I didnt eat beforehand and got lightheaded when we started and he was super cool and patient with me while I ate and he knocked out my knees tattoo is 2 hours. Great service cool people. Will be back
Chelsea did an amazing job on my inuyasha tattoo, it was my first time getting one and it came out beautiful! I will most definitely go back for another one. My piercer did awesome job on my nose piercing as well. Overall, I had a really good experience there.
Rico was the absolute best! Been wanting a specific tattoo for a while and he brought it to life! It looks so amazing and I am so beyond happy with it!
Our experience with jayme so incredible. My 9 year old had his ears pierced. Jayme was so patient, he walked him through every step so he understood what was going on. He helped pep talk him when he was scared and when he wasnt sure about the second one. His knowledge is good too! Well be back next week!
I love this place. I got my helix pierced by Jayme and he made the entire experience comfortable and talked me through it. After receiving the piercing I felt a bit nauseous so Jayme gave me candy and a bottled water to calm me down. Talented and great experience.
Rico exceeded expectations! My wife and I both got tattoos, this was my first, and we left super happy. He’s a talented artist, was friendly, and was all around super professional. He really made sure the tattoos were what we wanted. Thanks, man!
I went in on august 18th, 2022 to get my tongue re pierced for my 27th birthday. Jayme was super nice, but he volunteered info my fiancé and i didnt need to know. I should have walked out then, but i really was excited to get my tongue pierced again. I did not see him take the forceps out of a packaging, i didnt see him wash his hands, just put gloves on. The only thing i saw him take out of a package was the needle and the barbell. I did all the proper cleaning process because this isnt my first time and I ended up with an infection and having to take the barbell out 5 days later. I wasted my money here. Now i have to wait to heal an then go somewhere else to go get it done! I will not recommend anyone i know to get a piercing here!
Katie is seriously the best. I drive by 2 local places that offer piercing services to go to Orange Park to see her. She treats you as if you have known each other for years and is seriously the sweetest. Its so hard to find someone with great talent and an attitude to match. She is very gentle and walks you through every step of the way even if you are a veteran to getting services. She is worth the drive every single time and I am so glad I found someone I trust 100% with my body!
I really enjoyed the services I recieved at Big City Tattoo. I got my first tattoo there and they were able to calm my anxieties. My artist Dustin did an amazing job! I will be going back for another tattoo and highly recommend this tattoo parlor. Props to my girl Katrina for recommending them!
Had a half sleeve done over 5 visits by Nico. Very talented artist, with a great personality! Id recommend him for any job, large or small. Im extremely happy with my tattoo, and will definitely be back!
My experience was awesome. Everyone in the shop was very nice. Great communication between the artist and myself. Phoenix really listened to what I wanted and made it come to life on my skin. I can’t stop looking at how gorgeous it is. It literally looks like it’s coming out of my skin. I can’t wait to add onto it. I know it’s going to be amazing.
Second time I came back to see James. 100% amazing and recommended. First time I had my industrial done. This time I asked him to profile my ear and he recommended we do a double snug. Im seriously in love!
My daughter and I just got tattoos today. It was my first. Dustin is an excellent artist and was a lot of fun to talk too while we received our tattoos. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back. In about a month, actually.
Devin is amazing!! Will work with you to get what you want and make your vision come true!!
I got my tattoo done by Mark today and he turned something so precious and important to me into a reality. my tattoo in memory of our 19 year old dog jett is absolutely perfect. I love it I left with such joy and a smile on my face. I will be returning again if I need work done and the atmosphere of your work place is so open and friendly i felt like family to you guys. Thank you so much Mark and Big City Tattoo for my amazing tattoo.
Went in to Big City Tattoo for my first tattoo on Sunday! The shop is very clean, cool and welcoming.I was excited and nervous but the artist that did my tattoo, Dustin, put any worries I had at ease with his friendly demeanor and awesome sense of humor! He made sure I got exactly what I wanted and I cannot express how much pleasure I get from looking at my arm at this beautiful work.It is an experience I will never forget and I would most definitely recommend anyone who wants clean line work from a pair of talented gentle hands to head on up there right now. :DOh and go check out there instagram and Facebook to see their art work!
Super nervous about getting tattooed but Justin quickly calmed my nerves and talked to me during the whole process. I have found my go to guy! Will definitely be back for another. Thank you Justin!
Jayme was literally amazing! Very Sterile, clean, fun, engaging! Would recommend him yo any and all! I will most deff be back for more piercings and tattoos!
My boyfriend and I got our ears pierced here today, and it was fantastic. Friendly atmosphere, reassuring staff, experienced professionals, clean, we were served very quickly for a walk in, and it has something for everyone. Definitely going to be coming back!
My sister and I got matching tattoos from Rico and did an awesome job! He took our base idea and knocked it out of the park. He executed it phenomenally and was very professional. Highly recommended!
I went and saw Jake, he was super nice! I originally only wanted one tattoo but after sitting with Jake and his friendliness, I wanted another and ended up getting two! I loved his work so much. Thank you, Jake!
Big city tattoo was the place I got my first tattoo. Justin did my first tattoo and he was so awesome and loves animes as much as I do and he is the reason Ill be going back to get my second tattoo. Ill be getting my anime tattoos from the best in orange park.
Rico has been working on my husbands sleeve and did a hand tattoo for him, he has done awesome work! He has clean lines and great shading. We would recommend him to anyone!
Wonderful Customer Service..Don was very helpful with putting my tragus earring back in for me.
I just had my nipples pierced by Jayme about 6 hours agoHe is absolutely amazing, he made me feel absolutely comfortable .kept joking with me and he is very respectfulMy daughter has used him for her piercings and she highly recommended himSo happy she did and now I will never go to anyone else except himAlso they do some absolutely amazing and beautiful tattoosMy two sisters have gotten tattoos by Justin....he is by far one of the best artists I have seenDefinitely going to see him in a few weeks to get a big piece doneI would definitely rate Big City Tattoo a 10 out of 10Heck even the girls there are absolutely amazingCant say enough good things about them
An awesome place, and environment. The people are awesome. They got me in last minute for a piercing. Have not had any complications during the healing process! Thank you so much for the wonderful and least stressful experience!
Amber was soo easy to work with and gave me exactly what I wanted! Its been around two weeks and my arm is healing nicely, 100% will be back for more. 💜
Got a rook piercing by Jayme and he did a great job! Everything was really clean and he explained every step of the way. Will definitely come back soon!!
I have been getting tattoo work done by Mark for years, and he is always enjoyable and does great work. I recommend him, if you are looking for a tattoo artist. I just got some work done by him today, and it looks amazing and is exactly what I was wanting.
Cassidy tattooed me and she did such an amazing job. Very professional and her work is always beautifully done. I’d definitely recommend going to Cassidy if you go here!!
Ive visited several times and every time Rico delivers!! Fast, precise, and professional as always. Thank you for the cute poison apple 🍎 You made my Friday the Thirteenth awesome!!
This place does great work my husband got a Marceline tattoo from adventure time here from there female artist Riley. She is amazing and the shop is amazing they also had an artist doing a full horror leg they do also do flash tattoos where you get a design from basically a bubblegum machine which I think is cool like a random tattoo design definitely check this place out if you are looking for some tattoo work.
Got tattooed by Rico and he was totally awesome! Tattoo came out beautiful, he was so nice and professional. Definitely will be coming back to see him for my next tattoo!
OK, we just went in this evening to see what they were about. Hambone seemed nice and was helpful. This is the 1st time I have been in one and the tat is for my daughter. I have never gotten one because I was always reluctant on how good my artist is. So we have no clue what we are doing. I will update my rating accordingly after Saturday. So far, so good. Im still nervous for my daughter but his 17 years experience, looking at his work on Instagram and reading reviews helped quite the voices a little for now :)UPDATE: Got the tattoo. My daughter loves it. Of course there are some places to touch up but that is l 100% guaranteed and we just come in and get it done.... AFTER it quits itching. HahahaHambone was great and if I could upload the finished product I would for you to see.Now my wife wants one from the same place so we will be in there for that now. Maybe come up with something for myself as well now that I found a place I can trust:)Thanks BIG CITY TAT!
Dustin did both mine and my boyfriends tattoo’s and he was awesome. They are professional, clean and do great work. The staff is very nice and good to their clients. Definitely recommend!
I went in for my birthday and the piercer jayme did a great job ! Very professional and explained everything to me. He knows how to take care of his customers and make them at ease!! Great shop!!!!
I Highly Recommend Coming To Big City Tattoo. The Atmosphere Of The Tattoo Shop Is Very Relaxing And Calm, And The Decor And Vibe Of The Shop In My Opinion Is Very Diverse As Well As Original. I Highly Recommend That You Choose Shane Or Kevin To Tattoo You. Both Guys Are Very Professional And Honest, & They Go Above And Beyond To Make Sure That The Client Is Comfortable And Happy With Their Tattoo. I Give These Guys A Huge Five Stars And Two Thumbs Up😊
I had a great experience Damian was very helpful in getting me an artist to do the work that I wanted done. My artist was Mark he is very informative does outstanding work and made it a great time. Looking forward to my next appointment with these guys.
See Mark. I have waited years to find a grey wash artist and he is it. Is funny and entertaining and I have now gotten 5 different tats over a 4 week period and his work is flawless, perfect lines and shading. He spends a lot of time with you and charges super reasonable pricing for the quality/time.Mark is the guy to see
I used to come here all the time and get walk in tattoos… a great artist they have there is Kevin and if you book with him it’s good otherwise they have some guy in there doing walk ins that I’m not even sure knows how to tattoo! I went there first for a cloud and some text and he came up with every excuse as to why it was a bad design or he couldn’t figure out how to make it look good… and I went in there a second time today for an autograph tattoo and he again came up with every excuse in the book as to why he couldn’t do it… the marker was already there all he had to do was trace it, I’ve had it done before like that… but yeah 2 separate times he was uncomfortable tattooing so IDK about walk ins at that shop anymore.
Me and my husband walked in to get spur the moment tattoos but had a budget. The guy who helped us was amazing with working with us and keeping us in our budget. The tattoos themselves were done beautifully! Would highly recommend
Jake and Justin both did an amazing job. They were friendly, helpful and brought my vision to life! Thank you so much and will definitely be coming back
My artist did well on my Tattoo can’t complain can’t say the same for my Wifeeeyyy and her artist . Overall just a weird awkward rude vibe …. They didn’t know how to act as we where walk ins.. Guy that does piercing was pretty laid back and probably the most welcoming there, Can’t remember his name but giving two stars cuz of him …
Today was the first time ever that a tattoo place didnt say Come right in and stick you with whomever has time. This gentlemen first educated me on a sound wave tattoo and was so kind about it! Wow! Knew it was something that upset me to hear.. on point my friend. I explained I wanted to add to a sleeve and he suggested I come into the shop and he could place me with the best artist for the work I was floored by hos professionalism! I made verbal appointment to stop by tomorrow. This business is on point and professional. Cant wait to get my work done!
Rico Did an AMAZING knee piece for me he is AMAZING.. so kind & it turned out PERFECT. 10/10 recommend him.❤️❤️❤️❤️
This place is great and I love how they listen to me. My tattoo artist is Chad he did a great job on my tattoo. I will post when am tattoo done
It’s My 16th birthday and I came here to get my belly button pierced. The piercer was busy when we walked in by the time he got to me he told me he had to go get high first and walked outside infront of the building and started smoking a blunt. I left due to the piercer being stoned before trying to put a needle in me
Had been trying to get this certain tattoo (a “6” behind my left ear and a “7” behind my right ear) done for awhile but been moving around before I could find a place to get it done. Just moved to the area and stumbled upon this place Friday and was blown away with the service my guy Dustin provided and the work speaks for itself. Like I told Dustin y’all will definitely be seeing more of me because, the price is decent, friendly staff, very chill and real feng shui with the whole establishment. 10/10 would recommend.
Justin and Louis took great care of me and my husband. Very friendly and took care of us with no issues as a walk in. We will definitely recommend to family in the area and be back for another visit!
Amber is amazing. She shared a tattoo of pennywise that she has with me. A lot of artists wouldnt do that. I absolutely love how this turned out!💖
This was my second time coming to get pierced by Jayme. They did such a great job the first time I didn’t mind the hour drive to come back a second time. Definitely recommend coming to see him.
I got my nipples pierced here and the lady doing it (I forgot her name but she had green and black hair.) Was very patient with me. It hurt extremely bad and the whole time she was talking me through and offered me water and a lollypop. Very sweet women.
Rico was awesome with my tattoo, he was flexible around scheduling, I gave him the ideas I had and he made it look awesome. Took his time to do every detail. Very fond of his work.
My first time getting anything aside from my ears pierced, and Chad was an awesome piercer! Super chill and helped me through my anxiety
Im definitely coming back and recommending it to others!!! Billy Dubes Did Amazing Job In Short Amount Of Time✌️💯🥰❤️Only took hour an half!!
Both me and my friend went to go get our noses pierced, and immediately afterwards we were vomiting for 10+ hours with our piercings insanely swollen. Not sure if it is bc they were unsterile or if we just caught something from y’all….
Booked with Rico, highly recommend. Artist was fantastic, fast, professional, friendly, and does amazing work! Love my new tattoo
I went in for a consultation for a tattoo and the owner was extremely rude! I wanted an all seeing eye with a brick background and the word truth written below it. He kept saying that I was getting a tattoo for the Illuminati and that I wanted a triangle around the eye, which I specifically said I did NOT want a triangle multiple times! He was definitely on a downer and had refused to tattoo “a gang symbol” and told me, “if someone saw that tattoo on my arm one day someone will shoot you in the head.” The all seeing eye has many interpretations and involvement with good and bad things. JUST LOOK IT UP or read the Bible again mark!
Got my septum pierced and it was a very comfortable experience I absolutely loved the entire vibe of this place thank you so much!
Went in for a touch up and to add some new art. Amber killed it as always. Her help with the design all the way to final product is great.
I got my first tattoo on Memorial Day. It was a tiny one that they squeezed in but Im very happy with it! They could have easily asked me to come back but they worked to get me in even without an appointment.
I got my tattoo done by Kevin Joseph. Nailed my idea. He was very professional and gave me exactly what I wanted! Will be back for sure!Shop was clean and comfortable also😁
The absolutely worst place you can go to. Cant even do clean line work and the piercings are terrible. I had a double piercing done and my cartilage was shattered. The owner is rude and unprofessional.
I’ve gotten 5 piercings here in the last 3 days and i highly recommend! the piercer (james) is so professional and very knowledgeable, i am very happy with his work!
Came in as a walk-in, Rico did my tattoo. Service was welcoming and very detailed! Looking forward to getting more tattoos done here :)
Did a walk in, super fast everything took less than 5mins. Chad did my nose piercing super fast! i love it!
The piercer James and his obsessive down-talk about other artists do little to distract from his own creepy and unprofessional behavior. His mouth made ours a bitter experience, we won’t be back
Everyone seemed very nice and welcoming, and they did an amazing job on my first tattoo! Would highly recommend you going here :)
Tattoo artists were very rude i asked for one word in angelic script and he wanted to charge $80 for a five minute Tattoo 😤. Then started telling me how long hes been tattooing
I dont know how the tattoos are here . But I went in to get my tongue pierced and had to wait atleast 10 minutes before anyone noticed they had a customer there waiting to be helped. Then I was told it was going to be $55 which is double the price than the other shops in the area (I found out after already getting the piercing) the piercer was in a rush to get it done, didnt care to explain after care (luckily this wasnt my first time getting a oral piercing) but it Is suppost to be told to you how to care for it! Also my tongue piercing isnt straight its slanted and has been infected since getting the piercing . This has never happened to me before because again I know how to care for my piercings . I wouldnt recommend this place atleast not for a tongue piercing.
Brandon tattooed my daughter and I and he did an amazing job. I would recommend him to anyone in the area. Definitely will be going back again
Rico was a great and very skilled artist would recommend for any color work. Friendly staff and great work. Love the get what you get tattoos.
Sam was awesome! Super nice and explained everything. I was nervous and she was patient with me. ❤️ I will definitely be back!
Rico was awesome and did a fantastic job! My tattoo looks just like the example I gave him. Will go there again.
Awesome guys here. Justin rocks. I love my new tat. You cant go wrong these guys make you feel right at home.
Awesome people, awesome work. They treat ya very well and are very professional when it comes to piercing or tattooing. Wont let anyone else but Damian Bach do my peircing.
I had Cass and she was great ! I had a tattoo that needed fixed and she did awesome. Made it look like it was supposed to!
I had a wonderful experience with Katie she was so SWEET, AMAZING and quick!!! She did my septum and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who’s thinking about getting a piercing!!😊
Me and my husband come here every month so he can get a tattoo. So far hes gotten 3 that he is highly satisfied with. Well see you guys next month.
One thing is getting ink and another is getting quality ink. The experience can be seen in the art itself. From the time you enter the shop until the time you leave with your new tattoo, you will be treated by the best in the area and they are worth it.
Got stabbed multiple times by 2 guys...Jayme and Rico were awesome! Was great meeting you too Justin!
Jake did my first tattoo and i love it. he was so accommodating and quick and the tattoo is sooooo clean. 10/10 will come again for jake!😁😁😁
Took my sons for piercings.. was very busy.. but Tree was awesome, everything sterile and clean… just was a wait because they were super busy
