I love this place. Its not glitter or glam, but what is a tattoo parlor supposed to be like. The staff is professional and friendly and super cool. They like what they do and I dont think I would go anywhere else. Had a good time with the kidding around and things that were talked about were well like some old friends that got together and had laughs... Awesome work.... what ever you ask for.... its not so pricey.

Getting tattooed by Casey at DNA is always a lovely experience! She knocks it out of the park with design and execution every time and she always wants to make sure youre happy with your final piece. Ive got 3 large tattoos and one small one that she did and I love them all dearly. On top of that, the rest of the artists and staff here are super down to earth and talented so youre never bored while youre getting tattooed.

This was my first time going to DNA and my first time with a new artist. Casey was truly amazing. Kind, courteous, friendly, professional and truly makes sure you are getting exactly what you want. She also makes sure you are taken care of every step of the way. All the artists I encountered were very friendly, it is a great shop and so much fun as well! Would highly recommend!!! I love, love, love the work she did for me today 🖤

Both my husband and I got tattoos here in August 2021 and we both really like them. I got mine done as a walk-in by Casey (who I had already been talking with about my tattoo idea), and she did a great job for a great price. She really made sure that I was getting exactly what I wanted, and asked me questions along the way of the designing process.She was overall very friendly, but not extremely talkative (which I liked). Also, she was informative about the healing process and aftercare, which I appreciated since it was my first tattoo.My only complaint is that at the end of our session, I had asked her if she could email me with her availability for November (she was booked for Sep and I would be gone in Oct) so that she could add some more to my piece, but she never did.

Dennis is the worst Ive seen in a while. Not a straight line on either tattoo. Shading is just as bad. Really disappointed. I would not recommend Dennis for tattoos.

Stopped in today and got tattoo number 27. I was tattooed by Dennis he is highly skilled and professional I also got to witness the other artists work while there as they finished their tattoos and they all are highly skilled. I highly recommend you give them a try whenever you need to fix that itch or just need some ink therapy.

Review №29

I called this shop to ask if they were offering Friday the 13th specials. Before I could even finish my sentence, the associate said “no” harshly, then said “absolutely not” and hung up the phone on me. It’s sad because I was looking to get a tattoo regardless of if they were having a special or not, but now I know not to visit this shop due to the horrible customer service I received.

Top notch quality artwork, very clean and professional workspace. Artist are more than willing to work with you to make sure you get exactly what youre looking for, and a price that is usually more than fair for you the u.s. clients. Hsve received about 80% of my work done here and will be returning.

Review №33

I went in for a consultation on a tattoo for mothers day in memory or my Mom. I was told Id get a call in an hour to get it done. Never got called.When I called to check I was told hed gone home for the day. I know what I wanted wasnt big, but it was sentimental and could have led to more. Thanks for wasting my time. Update: I did receive a call after and was asked to come back, however the guy was still very wishy washy. I ended up getting my tattoo by another young lady in the shop, she had least had a similar tattoo so there was a better connection. I didnt change my score because in my eyes the guy never made it right and continued to be disrespectful by not following through.

Review №36

I came in sometime last week to get 2 tattoos, i don’t know what happened or if she wasn’t use to tattooing but something was off with her skills both of my tattoos look awful and the bigger one i got on my forearm looks like a faded patchy mess. she started messing up on my arm and then tried to make it better by making some of the lines thicker only making it worse with some of the thicker lines having a gap in the middle. both of my tattoos are faded and look unprofessional and i’m very disappointed with them and embarrassed there on my arm. if possible i would like to try and get a cover up by a better artist or something. in all these need to be covered asap. i think the artists name was Casey i’m not sure

I went to this Tattoo shop in the hopes of getting a tattoo for one of the artists when I walked in their words to our to stand with free at the moment neither 1 of them greeted me or address me at all I stood at the counter inches away from them I hate to think that I received this treatment because I am African American female but this is the only thing I could think of the may as will have put up a no blacks welcome sign
