First time here but wow what an experience. Emilio did an amazing job and was fantastic to work with from start to finish. He’s serious about his art but laid back all at the same time. When he told me he was done and to check it out I was not expecting it to be as great as it was. His attention to detail was appreciated and made it worth every penny. Definitely need to consider them when looking to get a piece done.
I have found my new shop!! Felt welcome from the moment I arrived. Clean and sterile, comfortable the whole time. Trinity was my artist and did beautiful work, a long tailed skipper and peach blossoms for my grandchild. She was chatty in the way that a friend is and I appreciated her conversation as she worked, it helps to keep my mind occupied and is an important part of the experience for me. I will go back for my next tattoo and would recommend to a friend or family member.
I have had several tattoos done here and I will shout their praises to the rooftops. They are welcoming, clean, professional, and the work they do is phenomenal. If you’re looking for a place to get a tattoo done in Tallahassee, these guys should be your first pick for sure.
Love this place! Ive gotten two wonderful tattoos and a piercing (soon to be two) from here. Every time Ive been in has been a great experience. Everyone is super chill, its clean, and theyve usually got a good movie playing. Highly recommend, I know Ill be going back!
Mattison did my first ever tattoo back in 2021, it was a rose memorial tattoo for my grandfather. I showed her a drawing Id dont and asked for something similar but with her own little twist to it. It turned out AMAZING. Last year I won Carbon Inks tattoo giveaway and chose Mattison again for my bull skull (im a taurus). I came in and asked for a bull skull and whatever Mattison wanted to add. Upon seeing the piece I immediatley fell in love with it and couldnt wait to put it on my body. Ill be back for my dagger tattoo (with Mattison) in a couple weeks. Planning to explore all of carbon inks artists eventually. I just cannot pass up the chance flex more of Mattisons AMAZING artistry.
I am super happy w Carbon Ink. Great atmosphere n everyone is welcoming. Very clean. Ive gotten four tattoos with Trinity and love her work. Very clean lines and my tattos always bright n vibrant with color packed in. I highly recommend them.
Just got a small piece from Emilio and let me tell you it was the least painful experience I have ever had. Everyone in the shop is amazing and very funny as well. I highly recommend Carbon ink to anyone who wants to get a tattoo!
Carbon ink is my new favorite studio. my artist, mattison, was truly such an amazing person & tattoo’er. she made my tattoo better than I ever couldve imagined. she was a delight to talk to, made me laugh so much and made me feel so comfortable! everyone there was so welcoming and kind and i recommend this studio 100%.update: years later and this is still the only studio i go to!! ive gotten 8+ tattoos and lots of piercings here & have had the BEST time in doing so. not only do you get the best service, but you get the best vibes ever.carbon ink rocks!! 🩷🩷🩷🩷
9/10 would get stabbed again. Went in for the friday the 13th special. First time tattoo the guy in the front could sense my anxiety and checked on me. When brought back matthew did a fantastic job. Explained everything talked through the process and started my newest addiction.
We love Carbon Ink and everyone that works there. I have been getting tattooed there for a couple years now. Everyone makes you feel comfortable and welcome. From Flash to custom designs they do everything and really make you happy.
I came in for three nose piercings (both nostrils and septum) and Aamil is incredible. Kept me comfortable the entire session, offered water/sugar, and explained every step and process clearly. They went above and beyond my expectations, will definitely be coming back for my double nostrils soon! 🫶
I have gone to carbon ink 4 times now, three times for a tattoo and once for a piercing. Every time went smoothly and I had a different professional each time. I can confidently say that everyone who works here knows what they’re doing and are more than capable in providing your next tattoo/piercing :)
Got my first (and only) tattoo at Carbon Ink in February 2024 with Matthew Dudley. The experience was fantastic! Matthew did an amazing job working with me to design and then actually do the tattoo. During the consultation, he was actively listening to what I wanted, asking insightful questions, and taking careful notes.He worked with the design I had in my head and found a design that was actually doable while still meeting what I wanted and the final design was beautiful.As a whole, the place is clean, comfortable, and friendly. I was very much at ease there and got great vibes throughout the whole experience.If I ever do decide to get another tattoo, I will be going back to Carbon Ink without any hesitation and would very highly recommend them to anyone in Tallahassee looking for a place to get their next tattoo.
Best artists in town!!!!Love this shop. The care they take to make sure you are happy with the art and placement of the tattoo. 🙏🙏
Mattison is the most professional artist ive ever had the pleasure of working with. Shes very clean and makes sure her customers are comfortable the whole time. Her range of work is so broad and youll absolutely love anything you get!! AAA+ recommended. I also really really love all the other artists here! Everyone is so talented!
Aamil was amazing. I had a stud in my tragus piercing that the back had become fused onto/stuck to. I was unable to get the stud out of my ear for awhile and had put it off. She easily removed the old stud off and did not charge me anything for the service. Also a very cozy, clean and aesthetically pleasing environment.
I love the work these people produce. I used Mattison Fire for an arm piece that had some cover up and waiting to have my back covered and redone. They are all really good and professional. The shop is very clean and well cared for. I cannot wait to get more work done.
I got my tattoo with Mattison and she was so friendly and professional! I reached out to her on Instagram with a custom request and she executed it perfectly. Everyone wears a mask and the place is nicely decorated and clean. This was my first tattoo and Im so glad it was a pleasant and comfortable experience. Would highly recommend!
I just got 4 small tattoos done with Trinity and she was awesome!! We met prior for a consultation to talk about everything I wanted and she listened to me and made sure it was just right. The entire facility is super clean and welcoming and the entire staff is very friendly and professional. Trinity gave me a cute little gift bag when I left that had a hand written note from her as well as some stickers, candy, and soap/lotion for aftercare. I thought it was so thoughtful and just an extra above and beyond thing that added to my experience. I thoroughly enjoyed coming here and I have my next appointment booked at the end of summer with her! Would recommend to anyone in Tallahassee looking for skilled artists who are welcoming, friendly, and very professional(:
I had a really amazing experience at Carbon Ink. Emilio was a pleasure to work with, and he was very helpful and direct in working with me on the design and placement. He is so highly skilled, I couldnt have asked for a better experience!
Carbon Ink is one of my favorite spots in Tallahassee! Very accommodating and easy to book. The staff is always so kind and the range of artists makes it easy for booking any style of tattoo. My friends and I have been going here since they opened and well all continue to until the end of time. I cannot say enough positive remarks about this business and staff
First things first emelio is the best. He took my idea & made it so much better. I now have a tattoo, that I get so many compliments on. Staff is super friendly and the shop is very clean.
Best tattoo shop in town, hands down. Everyone here is super nice and i dont feel like im being stared at like a piece of meat when I come in. (like other places in town :) ) I feel very safe. Love my ink from Mattison and would love to have others there do work on me too! Please check out this place!!!!
I had a good idea of what I wanted. Mattison took the idea and made it so much better. They were wonderful to work with and I truly enjoyed my first tattoo. They made me feel welcome and I cant wait to go back. Great place to go.
Had an appointment on Saturday 9/16 for an idea I’ve had for years now on getting and it didn’t dissapoint. Trinity made it even better than I expected honestly and damn she was fast at it! Wonderful atmosphere as well everyone there is very welcoming! We drove all the way out here from ocala since fiancé has had some work done on her from here and it’s worth every mile! Highly recommend this place for anyone new or vet to ink and I already have more plans down the line to return with more designs! Thank you again Trinity and will more likely see our business again very soon!!
I came in for a consultation and asked for someone who specialized in black and gray coverups. They put me with an extremely nice gentleman who made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. When it came time for the appointment, the stencil he drew was nothing like what I asked even after giving specifics. When I asked if he specialized in coverups, he said no. When I asked if he specialized in black and gray, he once again said no. I unfortunately forfeited my deposit and left. I wish I would’ve had a better experience.
I got a small floral piece done by Trinity last week. This was my first time at the shop and I was really impressed. The shop is beautiful and the staff is lovely! Trinity made sure I was happy with the design and executed it to perfection! She gave clear instructions on after care and sent me off with a hand written note thanking me for the opportunity to work together. While quality art of any kind isnt cheap, I thought their prices were very reasonable, especially given the caliber of work. I will be back!
I rarely leave reviews but Casey was absolutely amazing and deserves 5 stars! Highly recommend her for any script tattoos!! Thank you Casey!
Trinity is amazing! She has done two of my tattoos now and it’s been such a pleasant experience both times. She really takes time to listen to you, make sure you’re comfortable and happy, and does an outstanding job. The shop is clean and inviting and the entire staff is friendly and keep you laughing while you’re there. Will be back many, many times!
This review is far overdo, but I had a tattoo finished by Mattison on 1/27 and I don’t think I could be happier! I came in with the goal of her finishing a tattoo a different artist worked on but did not finish. It was not a positive experience with the previous artist so I was really looking forward to moving past it. From the beginning, Mattison was so kind and considerate of my prior bad experience. Not only was she apologetic, but she did her best to give me back some agency so that I felt heard and felt like my wants were incorporated into my tattoo. The experience was so wonderful, and my jellyfish looks sick! I hated looking at the unfinished mess and hid it as much as possible. But now I’m dying for warmer weather so everyone can see what great work she did. I will 10000% be going to her for all my tattoos going forward! I cannot recommend her enough. Also, the whole studio was such a safe, inclusive space. It was so refreshing and I can’t wait to go back.
First, I want to say, Trinity is the best she gives great prices. She’s cool and awesome if anybody’s getting a tattooed by her, don’t worry she would take care of you. By far she is one of the best tattoo artist I had. I’m definitely coming back to her and getting more
This shop is so clean and the staff was very friendly..But let’s talk about Emilio …If I could give him a 10 star I would, besides his talent with art , he’s very professional and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process.
Mattison is the only person I’ve ever trusted with my tattoos, and she absolutely kills it every time. An absolute professional.The front desk guy is cute too.
I went in for a double nostril piercing with Laney. She was AWESOME. I will definitely be going back. She did everything she could to make me feel comfortable and took her time to answer any questions that I had.
Emilio did an awesome job! The cover up tattoo looks amazing and love the detailed work.
I chose to get my first tattoo here after talking to Angi, I was incredibly nervous but the experience was quite nice. Angi is a very talented artist and did a great job on the design and detail on the tattoo. The entire shop is welcoming and supportive between the artists and customers.
Hands down, best tattoo parlor/piercer in Tallahassee.I have received ink from several of the artists affiliated with or apprenticing at the parlor, some of which were flashes and others which were custom designed.I have never once been disappointed.Carbon Ink delivers professionalism and etiquette like no other parlor I have been in, the relationships between the artists are tight, everyone is top-of-their-game when it comes to industry standards and practices, and their work is absolutely astonishing. All of my tattoos have held up beautifully through the healing process (I follow every healing rule to the letter), and I could not be happier with all the work I have received from the Carbon Ink crew.Go here if you want a tattoo of value. Go here if you want tattoo artists who actually listen to your cares and concerns. Go here if you want a parlor free of petty drama between artists. Go here is you want to be tattooed in a properly sanitized and health-minded space.Just go here.
My recent visits to Carbon Ink were awesome! I found this place via Instagram for their Friday the 13th tattoo special they were running last month. A happy coincidence introduced me to Angi for my flash tattoo (a scarab beetle). She did an amazing job and I get so many compliments on it. Not only was Angi professional and kind, she whistles like a Disney Princess and has a very light tattoo touch, making the tattooing time a breeze. I loved my Friday the 13th tattoo so much that I returned last week for a mystery gumball “get what you get” tattoo, again with Angi. I pulled a cute elephant and again, my artist hit it out of the park. I would absolutely recommend Carbon Ink to anyone I know. The ambiance and speakeasy vibe is so fun, and the artists are all very nice. I will be returning for more tattoos in the future, as well as piercings with Laney, who had a great consultation with me while I was waiting for my last tattoo. Love this place!
I got my first tattoo with Mattison in 2022. It was a memorial piece for my dad, who I had lost the previous year. She was absolutely WONDERFUL. Not only did I come away with a beautiful piece that I’m proud to show off, she was great to talk to. The atmosphere in the shop is so supportive and kind, with artists hyping each other up and just throwing out good vibes. I’ve since gotten two more tattoos with Mattison (with a fourth scheduled soon!) and I tell absolutely everyone how much I’ve loved my experience at Carbon Ink.
I have gotten two tattoos from Emilio and both were great experiences. I look forward to my next tattoo with him
This place is awesome! Its in the corner. The artists are friendly and talented. Check it out!If you are looking for a quality tattoo from amazing people, you could NOT find a better shop. Seriously! BEST EVER of course is my artist, Trinity. But the whole shop is full of awesome artists and they support each other and it RULES.GO GET YOU SOME INK! NOW!
I’ve gotten two tattoos by Trinity and I can’t say enough amazing things about her and the shop as a whole. I always feel so welcome when I’m there and I feel at ease knowing I’m going to get the best tattoo! I even flew down from Ohio because they’re so worth it.
Got AMAZING matching Anarchy tattoos from Matti!!!!!!Super safe, kind, and professional. I dig all the Art and Accoutrements too 🥰
I got two tattoos with trinity and she was absolutely amazing! Super talented, professional, and nice! Absolutely recommend her and the shop!! Everyone was so kind and helpful!
Wow! The whole experience with everyone here has been amazing. Scheduling, cleanliness, interactions with the artists, professionalism throughout my tattoo, ALL OF IT was wonderful. Matthew was wonderful and such an artist! Cannot wait to get my next tattoo here!
I have been getting tattoos for about 10 years now. I was driving to artists I really liked in St.Pete, Tampa, and Orlando. A couple of years ago I decided to stop by Carbon Ink. The shop gave off the same vibes I got from the high end shops I frequented in the larger cities and I was thoroughly impressed. The shop is welcoming and has some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. Every body here is extremely talented and I dont think you could go wrong getting a piece from anyone here. Not only is everyone a good artist but they are all extremely pleasant to be around and to have a conversation with. I have gotten 3 pieces done so far from this shop ranging from small to large full day sessions. I would highly recommend Mattison (insta: @mattisonfire). She has single handedly become one of my favorite artists. She has the lightest handed of any artist I have ever worked with. Her pieces are some of my wifes and my best healed work. She has been deemed by some as the cover up and highlight queen. I cannot sing her praises louder than I already have. Since getting tattooed here I have lost the urge to see the other artists I worked with in those other cities. Carbon ink hits all points on the head giving them in my book a 10/10. They nail everything. You would be hard pressed to find a shop giving better service and hosting talent. Carbon ink is now my primary shop with Mattison being the first person that pops into my mind when I want a piece done.
I love my tattoo!!! Emilio copied my mom’s handwriting perfectly. He was very professional, nice and knowledgeable. I was a walk in and everyone there made me feel very welcomed and not a burden. The studio was very clean and organized. I will definitely be going back soon.
I’ve been tattooed at several other shops, but after my experiences here, I can honestly say I will only be using Carbon Ink for all of my future tattoos. The staff here is so incredibly friendly, welcoming, professional, and experienced. I have not seen any of the artists produce a piece of art that is anything less than exceptional and I would comfortably let any of the artists tattoo me. The shop holds itself to a very high standard with cleanliness, and the general atmosphere of the shop is second to none. Truly one of the best tattoo shops in Tallahassee and I cannot recommend it enough.
I visited Carbon Ink for the first time for a nose piercing yesterday, and my experience was absolutely lovely! The staff was friendly and helpful. My piercer, Delaney, was very clean and professional. She walked me through what she would be doing before doing it, then again as she did everything. I felt very comfortable and informed the whole time! I plan to be back this weekend actually, for their Valentine’s day tattoo special! To top it all off, I was given a very sweet and thoughtful goodie bag on my way out, containing candy, stickers, some beautiful stones and a thank you note! 💓 No, thank YOU Carbon Ink, see you again!!
I got a tattoo done by Trinity and let me tell you- the tattoo and Trinity are phenomenal. She was professional and nice, super friendly and knew exactly what she was doing. The tattoo came out perfectly and she was more than happy to listen to what I wanted done and do that. 10/10 would definitely recommend. Not to mention the store is really cool, too. Its got a nice vibe to it and everyone there -from Ben at the front to the other artists - were super sweet and supportive. Tallahassee has a lot of great parlors and artists and this is definitely one of them.
I have posted a review on the tattoo side for this shop and now it is time for Piercing! Aamil is an amazing piercer. They made me feel comfortable and at ease during the whole process. She took her time and made sure everything was explained and to my liking. Highly recommend her for any of your piercings! (Ignore my crooked glasses, they are bent lol)
I came in to see Trinity specifically for their Friday the 13th special and was very impressed with how clean and beautiful the front was. Trinity has tattooed me before and I’ve been thoroughly impressed with her work and craftsmanship since Day One and today was no exception. She continues to do excellent work. Clean lines and so light and quick which is much appreciated on my end. And the quality is all there. I will continue to come to Carbon Ink and to see Trinity for any future pieces big or small. She truly is talented and her portfolio continues to grow tremendously. The rest of the staff was very welcoming and attentive as well! Everyone was professional and everything was very sanitized and thoroughly cleaned.
Great shop, clean, beautiful layout. Very friendly when we arrived. We didnt make a appointment but they took care if us in no time. My wife wanted a piercing and they took the upmost care and safety precautions. Great service before, during and after. Highly recommend.
I filled out the online consultation form, and I ended up having to fill it out 3 times over the course of a month to even get a response. Then when I got my tattoos (which I am very happy with, two little tattoos behind my ears) I was charged 100 dollars each, so 200 Dollars. A couple weeks later I submitted another consultation form for another tattoo but this time I only filled it out once. I never got a response. I took my business elsewhere. I am glad I did. I feel like they should be better about checking that and replying to customers, and I feel like the artists should make sure they’re not price gouging over little tattoos that should be like 60 dollars each. I only say this after consulting other artists. I gave 3 stars because I AM happy with my tattoos, but the overall experience and price just did not feel worth it to me. My artist was Matthew.
I first visited Carbon Ink on Saturday and had my tattoo done by Trinity! She is absolutely talented! Her work is flawless!!! And she is quick but precise with her work. I will definitely be back to get more work done by Trinity. If you’re looking for a good tattoo shop with TALENTED artists then look no farther than Carbon Ink. They’re THE best!!!!
Went for a piercing change a couple times with Delaney! She was so sweet and professional which helped when I was nervous. She didn’t seem bothered by any of my many questions. The facility is clean and has great decorations. The rest of the staff also greeted me. Great place!
I did a walk-in for a septum piercing today with Laney and I had a great experience. All of the staff was professional and the environment was so awesome (i love all the interior decorating btw). I was very informed of aftercare and the general procedure. I genuinely think I was out within 20-25 minutes maybe? Great experience. Love my new piercing. Hope to come back for some tattoos soon ❤️
Trinity is working on a cover up 1/2 sleeve for me and she has been nothing short of amazing. She’s very easy to chat with, respectful of your time, and an amazing artist.The shop is definitely the classiest shop I’ve been in here in Tallahassee. Some of them just make you feel dirty. Carbon ink is clean, tastefully decorated, and even has a little room for your guests to keep them comfortable while they wait for you.I did not rate on good value because I don’t believe your tattoo should be a good value. This is definitely something you get what you pay for. I can’t speak to all artists’ pricing, but I think trinity charges a reasonable price and with that deserves a reasonable tip each time.
The shop in general looked super clean and well kept. Friendly staff. I visited Delaney to discuss my existing piercings from another shop. She is very knowledgeable and helped to explain possible reasons why I was having issues, and helped me come to a conclusion to remove them. She definitely goes the extra mile by drawing some pictures of the piercing anatomy for visual aid. :)
Trinity is amazing and has great line work. I will always go to her and this shop for my tattoos. I have only been tattooed by Trinity, but when other artist are in there they make it a fun and relaxing while you get a tattoo; its like hanging out with everyone. All the artists are respectful of privacy and very professional. I recommend this shop to everyone I meet!
Delaney was so kind when giving me my second nose piercing! She was clean, professional, and made me feel so comfortable. She answered any questions I had, and explained everything so well, even providing detailed aftercare instructions! I highly recommend her for any piercing need! Also, everyone who works there is was so hospitable and they provided an overall great experience. Go see them!
I love this place! Ive been to a few different tattoo parlors and this one is by far the best. The environment is super nice and the tattoo artists and piercer are amazing!! Ive gotten tattooed by Trinity and Angie and they are both amazing and talanted ladies. Ive also gotten pierced by their head piercer Delaney and she is so sweet! She was able to help me with a piercing I had gotten at a different parlor and confirm my suspicion on it being pierced wrong and helped me. Shes pierced me recently and Ive never been more comfortable with the process than with her.The shop itself is so unique! The decore is amazing, furniture is super comfy, and all around just an amazing place. I tell all my friends to go here!Update 10/27/21Im still absolutely in love with this place! Ive gotten something done by almost everyone in the shop! Everytime I go I feel welcomed and safe. Everyone who works there is an angel. Ive had friends go get their first tattoo and some piercings from the shop and they cant wait to go back! Best place in town without a doubt!!
This place is absolutely wonderful! The atmosphere is great, it’s beyond clean (both the lobby and piercing room!), super cool looking, and all the staff was incredibly nice and welcoming. I got my septum pierced with Aamil today and they did it perfectly! The process was seamless from start to finish. I was able to tell Aamil exactly how I wanted it and it came out even better! I can’t wait to go back for my next one ((:
I truly cannot express just how awesome this shop is! Not only is the store itself super cute and inviting with the sweetest shop manager you’ll ever meet, Sydney, up front, but the door to go into the back makes you feel like you’re walking into a speakeasy which just adds to the excitement. The artists are absolutely phenomenal and will really work with you on what you want to make sure it’s perfect. Emilio has done two for me now, one pretty big one and the other on the smaller side but both are stunning and incredibly detailed! Everyone there just wants you to have a great experience and that’s exactly what you’re going to get!! 20/10 would recommend.
Carbon Ink Tattoo was very clean and inviting. All of the staff were super friendly! I got a nose piercing by Delaney and would highly recommend her to everybody! She was very kind, professional and knowledgeable. She was also super patient with walking me through the entire process. 10 out of 10 hands down!!
I received nipple piercings from Aamil and was nervous. This is my second time around so I had lots of scar tissue. Even though it hurt, Aamil made me feel so great and relaxed. I had such a great experience and feel so confident. I breathed deeply the whole time like she said, it was such a beautiful and CLEAN environment, and got great aftercare instructions!
Easily my favorite tattoo shop in Tallahassee, if not the best. Not only are all the artists there incredibly talented, every staff member is kind and considerate. Very professional shop, as well. Ive been here multiple times and left happy every time! Highly suggest coming here!
Super easy experience! Very clean and nice staff! Would definitely recommend and go back in the future! :)
If I could give more stars I would! I love this place and everyone who works here! The shop is super clean and decorated so cute. All of the staff is friendly and very accommodating. Laney did my nostril piercing a few months back and did amazing! Very professional and gave me a little goodie bag when I left as well as a note with my piercing sizes and aftercare.Mattison did my most recent tattoo on my neck and absolutely killed it! She was very accommodating and was always checking in on me to make sure I was ok.This place has the best vibe and you can definitely trust them to deliver 💯 every time!Thanks Carbon Ink for being so amazing ❤️
I walked in, looking for a new septum piercing, because I made the wrong decision to purchase my previous one at the mall.The store itself is amazing, I loved the layout almost immediately. You truly get the feeling of professionalism just sitting in the waiting room.Laney was the one to help me out. I told her what I was looking for, and she walked me through the different colors and helped me pick one, the Blurple, which I am completely in love with. She even helped me put it in, which I wasnt expecting, but was extremely thankful for.The price, for what I purchased, is not bad at all. I have friends who spend more on earrings, that arent as pretty.I completely recommend this place, from the atmosphere, to the employees, everything is perfect... even if the dude at the reception desk made groan worthy puns.
Incredible shop! Everyone working there was very nice and the atmosphere was great and made me feel really comfortable. Emilio tattooed me with a $75 flash tattoo and spent several hours on it to make it really above and beyond. Turned out cooler than I couldve imagined. Laney pierced my septum, and did a great job!
Trinity was awesome. I came in with my mom and aunt for their first tattoo and I got a small cross Ive wanted for awhile. We all had a great time and the place was very welcoming to newbies and allowing family to watch. Referred by my cousin Dan who goes to Emilio. We will be back! Thanks everyone!
Trinity did my adorable HeiHei so amazing!!! She had no issues and was very nice when I wanted to change his facial expression after already agreeing to what she had drawn up ( anxiety is oh so fun lol). Already about to email her and schedule my next tat to be done in a couple weeks! So happy some people recommended Carbon Ink and I found Trinity!
Everyone here is beyond talented and versatile with their style!I am currently working on a sleeve with Angi (a go to for anything Japanese style). They are all super talented artists and the shop is fantastic. I always feel comfortable and welcome there. 4 hour tattoo passed in a flash and everything healed beautifully. 100% recommend this shop to anyone wanting a tattoo.
I got my nose pierced by Delaney and she did amazing!! She was very informative, clean, and great at what she does. I drove 2 hours to her and I won’t hesitate to do it again :) The rest of the staff were nice as well. I highly recommend getting your piercings here.
I have gotten a couple of piercing here with Laney and she has been so awesome and really walks you through the piercing process which I appreciate. I have also gotten tattooed by Mattison and she made my session one of the best I’ve ever had! Her work is amazing and I will definitely be going back!!
I have gotten tattooed at various places around Tallahassee, and I have to say, Carbon Ink is by far my favorite shop in town. From the shop aesthetic, to the friendliness of the artists, if I could rate this shop a 10/5 I would! I have been seeing Shea for over a year now, and as a young artist she continues to impress me each time I go back. I have gotten 5 tattoos by Shea, ranging from small lettering work to a large and intricate knee cap piece. Typically I like to get work by different artists as I view my body as a canvas and want “stickers” from all over the world. However I’ve recently decided to dedicate my entire leg to Shea’s work. Beyond the quality of her work, she cares about her clients and is always looking out for their best interest.If you’re looking for photo realism look literally no further. Book your appointment with Emilio NOW. looking for the best trad. artist in town? Junior is your guy!! Seriously cannot recommend this shop enough!!
I got a tattoo done here on December 17th and it was a great experience! This was my first tattoo and I was a little nervous, but the atmosphere was incredibly relaxing and the studio was incredibly clean. I absolutely intend to return here in the future for a few different tattoos I intend to get. The artist who did my tattoo was Angi and I absolutely love it- as does everyone who sees it! The picture was taken today (over 3 months after I got the tattoo) and the colors are still incredibly vibrant! Absolutely would recommend this studio as a whole and especially Angi!
Would give more stars if I could. I got a Tattoo on my foot from Shea and it was designed beautifully and executed excellently. I am beyond pleased with the piece I got from Shea and I am extremely excited to get something from all the other artists at this place. The owner, Emilio is a local firefighter and a super great guy, you really couldnt be supporting a better business owner!Also just wanna add that the aesthetic of the shop itself is as cool as it gets. Top notch tattoo parlor !
Recently got a tattoo from Trinity and the whole experience was 10/10. Great artist, great vibe, amazing work. Will definitely be back! Thanks Trinity!
Absolutely love my tattoo! The experience was amazing and everyone was extremely professional and respectful. The artist checked in with me frequently to make sure I was doing alright and got a tattoo that I loved. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a tattoo or piercing.
Loved my first time there they made me feel super safe and were very accommodating
Carbon Ink is the best! Emilio and Sydney have created an establishment like no other in this area. And Emilio does incredible work! Im so glad I happened to luck up and get him as my artist a few years back at a Friday the 13th event. Although all of his staff are very talented, he will always be the only person tattooing me!
I’ve been tattooed at other studios before but this is by far the coolest and best studio in town. Trinity is the artist I consistently go to and recommend to people because she is one of the most talented tattoo artists I have ever seen!!! 12/10!
Such a clean and friendly shop! Laney is the best piercer in town!! Thank you for such an amazing new addition to my ear!!
I have gotten tattooed twice at Carbon Ink, once by Mattison Fire and once by Angi Rosa. Both times I was made super comfortable and both artists were super professional and did great work. This was my first time having a consult for a tattoo and it was super easy and low pressure.
As someone who prides themself in caring about service time, quality, and work, I can say that I am nothing but pleased with the work done at Carbon. Angie, my tattoo artist, did a work that should have taken around 1h30 in one hour and applied the most detailed points. Not only that, but she carried conversation the entire process, which allowed me to destress a little bit and get to know her and her coworkers much more. I was very nervous, as this is my first time getting a tattoo in Tallahassee, but I am nothing but happy with the entire experience and being able to converse with the ENTIRE staff, not just my artist, in light-hearted fashion just shows the true beauty of this tattoo parlor. Thank you again, Carbon Ink and Angie!
Delaney did my nostril piercing and I love it so much! The whole process was quick, yet thorough. She answered any questions I had and was extremely patient and gentle. The shop was super clean as well. 5 stars!
Emilio did a watercolor tattoo on me that turned out BEAUTIFUL. It looks like it was directly transferred from the drawing to my skin and looks impeccable. He made the entire process seamless and helped make me comfortable even through the painful parts. He was very thorough in reviewing aftercare. I will never go to another shop to get a tattoo again because I was so impressed with the finished product and process. Thank you Emilio!!
Love the art, the people, the energy. I usually cant sit in one spot for an extended amount of time but the conversations & energy in there was that good 🥰 Ive had work done by Trinty & I just had work done by Matt both do amazing work. 10/10 Im going back for MORE!!!
I am coming back to this shop for all of my future tattoos. Matti is a gem and such an amazing person; and so are the other staff at Carbon ink. The atmosphere is so chill and fun, everyone is super caring and cool. 10/10 recommend.
I got tatted twice by mattison here and both tattoos have turned out so well and are extremely good quality! the staff here at carbon ink are also some of the kindest people ive ever met and definitely made me feel like i was in a safe space. definitely going to be coming back for more!
Came to Carbon Ink to get matching tattoos with my mom for her birthday- her first tattoo and my fifth. Ian was very kind and professional and we enjoyed the experience. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone considering a tattoo, and will definitely be coming back to get my next one!
I’ve had 4 tattoo sessions done at Carbon ink, but I’ve had dozens of sittings at other shops in Tallahassee. Carbon ink surpasses all expectations across the board. The staff is as friendly and welcoming as they are talented. Any style of tattoo, someone there can knock it out of the park. The shop itself is always very clean, sanitary, and well decorated. I’ll be a customer for life!
Matt was excellent! He did just what I wanted. I love his artwork! Great comfy, casual feeling about the shop.
Incredible artists and a truly enjoyable atmosphere. Safe and comfortable for first tattoos and beyond high enough quality to keep people coming back. With diverse styles and great work all around, Carbon Ink is always a good fit
Such a great experience! I got my first tattoo here and it was better than I could have imagined. It is very clean and professional! Devyn did an awesome custom olive branch tattoo on my wrist and it is absolutely beautiful! Will be coming back for more!!!!
I had a great experience at Carbon Ink. Angi Rosa was awesome, she gave me exactly what I wanted in a tattoo and I couldn’t love it more! Everyone at the shop was friendly and welcoming, especially Angi. I definitely recommend this tattoo shop!
This shop is awesome! Trinity did a couple tattoo pieces for me and was super friendly and efficient with her work. I highly recommend checking this shop out for your next piercing/tattoo! I can’t wait to come back :)
Absolutely the best tattoo experience I have ever had. Mattison is the sweetest, friendliest artist I’ve ever met and unfathomably talented. Hard to believe I’ll ever go to a different parlor again. Just absolutely incredible.
I highly recommend coming here for your piercing needs! Laney did my navel piercing and was very professional. She talked through each step which helped calm my nerves and used sterile equipment. She also has the cutest jewelry collection!
If you’re looking to get pierced or purchase new body jewelry, I highly recommend you make an appointment with Laney! She’s very professional, polite and caring towards her clients. I’ve had a ton of questions along the way and Laney has been so helpful and informative. Two thumbs up, five star review!!
I got a beautiful photorealistic lion tattoo done on my arm by Emilio. He was efficient with time, very clean, and worked with me on the art that I wanted. He was professional at all times and gave me a beautiful piece that I will treasure forever. Thank you so much to Emilio and the Carbon Ink team. Check out their Instagram for photo proof of their amazing work!
Had a wonderful experience with Trinity. She is super fun and talented. Also gave a nice gift bag with complete instructions, a thank you note and samples of soap and lotion for after care. Will definitely be going back to see her!
I’ve gotten 4 of my tattoos done here and I absolutely love it here. They are always very nice and welcoming, the artists (especially Trinity) are amazing at what they do. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone!
I was tattooed my Mattison, and it was a fabulous experience! She definitely eased nerves, worked quick, and was super helpful in answering questions about aftercare. She’s got a great sense of humor so lots of laughs were had!
I got an incredibly intricate and detailed tattoo that I was nervous about, and the entire staff at Carbon Ink made me feel not only relaxed but respected as well. My tattoo artist, Trinity, really did an incredible job and I cant recommend her enough.
Made an appointment as a walk in, Shay created an absolutely beautiful tattoo that far exceeded what I was looking for. Absolutely amazing art work, and a very personable and friendly staff and artists. If youre looking for some beautiful ink definately check them out.
Trinity is amazing! She did my mermaid tattoo and did an outstanding job. Great detail and line work. Extremely pleased with her work. Already looking at my next tattoo for her to do.
The tattoo artists were very accommodating and their apprentice is very clearly being taught the right way to do things. Im very lucky my friend recommended me.
Got tattooed by Mattison and I could have not been happier with not only the tattoo but with how kind and uplifting everyone was! So much about a tattoo is the actual experience and this ranks as the best one that I have had. Tattoo 10/10 Experience 10/10. Will definitely be back!
Just got the most amazing tattoo from Mattison today. So friendly, professional, thoughtful, and an absolutely awesome result. I cant say enough not only about her but about the entire staff. Go to Carbon Ink, you will not be disappointed.
I had my first tattoo done with Trinity and she made the process seamless. Not only is she super talented, but Trinity made me feel at ease with getting my first tattoo. I will definitely be returning for more.
Carbon Ink Tattoo is an amazing shop with extremely professional artists. This amazing leaf was done by Matt and I couldn’t have been happier with the entire experience. I can’t wait to go back and get more work done!
Carbon Ink is fantastic! Angi is talented and has a great personality. Im so pleased with my new ink and the whole experience was great from the atmosphere to the beautiful new piece I left with.
Angi did my tattoo and she is amazing!! She made it look even better than what I had envisioned, and I am so happy!! If you want a great tattoo, go see her. :)
Awesome staff and great service! Everyone was super friendly. Mattison did a great job in the tattoo and the pricing was great!
Shea was my artist. Really happy with how this turned out. 3 weeks, so fully healed. Love it
My first tattoo was done by angi and it was a custom request and there was great communication and execution. Also everyone here is just cool, everyone is friendly especially during your piercing or tattoo
I got tattooed by Trinity on Friday the 13th and it was a great experience! I’m in love with my tattoo and also fell in love with a piece of her flash. Hoping to get back in there for my next piece soon 😍
Trinity is amazing! Everything about my first visit, from consultation to final product was perfect. I have returned several times since, and will continue to do so!
I got a piece done by Shea, and she did such a wonderful job! She was clean and respectful, and she did a great job working through my constant twitching. Clean work and a comforting and friendly atmosphere. Thank you so much!
Emilio did a wonderful job with my tattoos and after being hesitant for 3 years Im definitely coming back here more for future tattoos, I loved all the artists they were great
I went for the valentines flash today. I requested for Matti to be my artist and she was equally as amazing as her work. 💕 Ill definitely be getting my next piece by her.
Great experience my artist Angie was great. This was my second time seeing her and she does amazing work. The other artist are amazing as well.

Wonderful clean shop with a really inviting atmosphere. My artist, Trinity, did great work. Enjoyable experience with a friendly staff.
I got a recommendation for one of the artist there miss Trinity she did an amazing job everything that I had in my mind she worked with me to make sure it was exactly like I wanted she was very professional
My tattoo faded they said they will charge the same price to retouch it up which I think is wild....over all not that great of an experience
Absolutely in love with the new ink I got done by Emilio. He was amazing to work with! I can’t wait to see what we do in the next sessions.
I was visiting from Miami and stopped in for a quick tattoo. Matt was super professional and cool. These people are the truth 💯

I went for Friday the 13th and I think Ive found my artist for the time I am living here. Check out @MattisonFire! Their work is AMAZING!
Very professional and did a very good job with telling me all the instructions on how to maintain my piercing. Everyone there was really nice.
Delaney is an amazing character as well as an amazing professional. Love her work and standards. The best!
