Absolutely loved getting my piercings done here! Abi is so sweet and patient. She really helped me when it came to styles and I am so happy I went to her! She also helped me upgrade my old jewelry while I was there as well.
Miguel did a fantastic job. He explained the process In detail, made sure I was comfortable and happy. What a masterpiece!
Nick did my 1st tattoo back in 2017. So while visiting from Alabama my daughter and I decided to stop by and see him and get a new tattoo for our girls trip we just took. He took our idea and made it better. Great artist and great shop
I have been to this shop for a piercing and originally what was supposed to be ONE tattoo. Because of the superior work, that ONE tattoo is getting turned into 1/4 sleeve. The shop is extremely clean and the staff are very helpful. Nick did my tattoo and will be doing the rest of the work. He really listens to you. Abi made me feel so comfortable before my piercing and both answer any questions I have at any time!!! I would highly recommend Angry Elephant Tattoos!!!
I got a tattoo done by eric (mind you im 17) and this was my third tattoo but largest one by far and he made sure i was comfortable the whole time during the process and the tattoo turned out amazing with great detail and shading highly recommend him and angry elephants in general
I went in a few months ago to get my tongue pierced and it was a quick and painless process. Abi talked through every step, letting me know what was going on, and there was no judgment when I almost passed out lol. My piercing is doing great still and I will 100% be returning in the near future to get the rest of my piercings done!
Had an awesome experience at the angry elephant me and two of my good friends spontaneously decided to get tattoos around midnight and Grizzle our tattoo artist did an amazing job not only with his work but accomodating us and staying way later than he had to all in all an amazing night Ill never forget!!!
This is one of the best places to get a tattoo from. All the staff is great and my artist David Goetz is an amazing artist. Every tattoo hes given me I have received plenty of compliments on and I always bring him and angry elephant up. I am so happy with my time spent at this store and will be coming back many more times in the future. I definitely recommend getting David Goetz to tattoo you, great artist and extremely nice guy!
Love this place, Nikki is such a great artist, me and my daughters came to her with our ideas and she delivered. We got our 1st tattoo and couldnt be happier. We will continue to come back.
Always find what we want. Everyone is friendly. We approve. Stabi Abi for piercing and plenty of folks for tats. We recommend Kody.
Nikki did an amazing job on my daughters first tattoo, we will definitely continue to go there.
Got this tat 3-4 days ago, the artist was super patient and easily the most cleanly person to have ever worked on me.Its healing great, no real scabbing, peeling or itchiness.This place definitely passes the vibe check and I highly recommend it.
Lauren Mango did my cover up tattoo, its amazing. She was fast, great detail, the colors pop! The tattoo was very well priced, I would highly recommend her! The parlor itself has a great atmosphere!
Great place, great customer service, nice and very talented artist!! Thanks Nick. I will be back. John Dunford
Went in and Abi pierced both of my ears quickly and painlessly! Their facility is very clean and everyone was super friendly. I would highly recommend anyone needing a piercing to check them out!
I’ve gotten most of my work done here, from multiple artists. As well as multiple piercings. All have been amazing! Honestly I trust them and would be afraid to go anywhere else. I have some more pieces scheduled, and I can’t wait! So long as those artists stay, I’ll be going there forever!Don’t forget to tip your artist!!
The best experience I’ve gotten two tattoos here and a piercing the best service, would recommend going here!
First timer here! Nikki was perfection from helping me put my vision to ink, to walking me through the whole thing. I am in love with my tattoo and wear it proudly! If I ever decide to do another, I would only trust her hands to do the work!!
Great overall service and experience at Angry Elephant! I apologize I am not good with names and cannot remember the piercers name but she was wonderful! Very knowledgeable, patient, and super friendly 😊 I will be going back for a 2nd nostril piercing once my 1st one is all healed up. So far so good, 1st one is healing very nicely. Thank you Angry Elephant, you guys are the best!!
Love this place! All of my people go here for their tattoos. Nikki repaired a really bad home tattoo for me. My dragon is now fierce and flowing. Thanks, Nikki, awesome job!
They are awesome very welcoming!... Eric did my tattoo he was awesome a little on the quiet side but makes you feel comfortable and checked on you to make sure your doing good. This was my first tattoo and he made it a good experience. My son has been there 2 times and hes going back for more.. so will I !!!!
Talk to Kody he’s the man entire staff is very talented wonderful attitude, totally professional
Ive had 3 tattoos done here, all excellent. I recommend David Goetz (Suganut) personally. Ill definitely be coming back for my next tattoo!
I cannot say enough great things about Angry Elephant and Nikki Moon, but Ill try! On 9/13/20, I had an appointment with Nikki for two small tattoos. This is my second time here and both times, the experience was great. Nikki took my designs, scaled them to fit where I wanted, and both tattoos (one on the outside of each wrist) are beautiful. I had two pieces done on my ankles back in May and that experience was also flawless and easy. My tattoos heal quickly with little pain and barely bled.The staff up at the front desk is super friendly and likes to joke around, which is awesome when youre a little bit nervous or anxious. No matter how many tattoos I have, I always have a little bit of nerves before I sit down in the chair but Nikki and the rest of the staff make me laugh and feel at ease. I have plans to come back in October for yet another tattoo and I cant imagine going anywhere else. Prices here are also pretty great. Although Im sure you could find lower prices somewhere else, you wont get the quality that you get here and that is worth every penny.Ive also shopped at the smoke shop thats connected and I highly recommend the shop as well for quality and variety. They have CBD products (including gummies!) as well as pipes in beautiful designs. This shop also does piercings and Ive never been pierced here yet... but that will probably change shortly.
Just went here for my second time today. I went in for a coverup with David Goetz. I basically gave him the go ahead to do what he thought was best & to just incorporate sunflowers. It turned out amazing! I’m in love with it. A million times better than what I had before. I definitely recommend going here & seeing David! You won’t be disappointed.
Front desk was kind and patient while I struggled to figure out that the POS was a touch screen & Abi did great re-piercing my philtrum!
I absolutely love this place so much! :)
Finally made the decision to get my hand tattooed but I was worried about where to get it. A few people had recommended Angry Elephant Tattoo in Brandon. I was privileged enough to be tattooed by David Goetz Suganutt. The entire process was seamless, and his work is beyond impressive. I could not have been happier with the art and line work. My request was not something easy and Davids professionalism and talent were beyond my expectations. The shop is EXTREMLY clean and welcoming. You will not be disappointed. Thanks David! You killed it man!
I had a great experience here.saturday, and cant wait to go back in. I went in with a plan and Eric made it happen. Very professional, very precise, and extremely good at what he does. Everyone there is cool and friendly and fun to be around. I looked around and saw lots of great artwork , theres something for everyone here. Good pricing, clean atmosphere awesome artists , you have to stop in for your next tattoo. I am.
Love Mario! on time, easy to talk with, brainstorm ideas, prices are very good, talented and nice staff...tat pics from following morning
My tattoo looks great! Mario was amazing and so nice! The 3 stars are because the two individuals sitting at the front desk were incredibly rude. From the second we walked in they made us feel like we should’ve just went home. One was shaking her head at my sisters tattoo idea making her feel insecure about getting it. They were short with answers and smart asses when asked questions. Everyone else there was super nice and did great work! The first time I was there everyone was nice. I’m glad I stayed to get my tattoo done it looks amazing.
So I got my first tattoo today and it was AMAZING!!! The minimum for tattoos is $60 which I think is great. I paid $60 for the phases of the moon stretching across my foreman. Mario took care of me and he was so nice and comforting when he found out it was my first tattoo. The piercer Matt was super chill and funny as hell. The shop was super clean, great service and awesome people. I had a great time and I’m definitely going back!!!
Had to stop in today after a piercing emergency and even though their piercer got off at 6pm they were great with making sure I had the right jewelry and was satisfied when I left. Decent price point too.
Best tattoo shop ever! I went in yesterday as a walk in, and everyone there was so nice. Mario did my tattoo, and his line work is amazing. He was able to take all of my ideas and combine them into one beautiful piece of art. I would HIGHLY recommend this shop to anyone looking to get a tattoo. Great work, great prices, and great people. Thank you Mario for the best tattoo i have ever gotten!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MATT & ARTHUR (who is a Hufflepuff✨). I came in for a septum and was high key nervous for some reason. Matt has the best personality & has the right confidence a professional/knowledgeable piercer should have. I was definitely worried about my septum being crooked or in the wrong spot cause I’ve read horror stories. Matt did incredible and it was virtually painless. Like the clamps to hold it hurt worse than the actual piercing. I can’t say enough good about the staff. It was very clean as well. Matt said I can follow up any time if I have questions. I appreciate the energy here ❤️ I won’t go anywhere else now. Thanks guys.
I love Angry Elephant its Always clean, My Favorite Employee is Matt he takes really good care of his clients. Matt has done all my piercings and ive never had any issues I highly recommend Matt if you want any piercings he is the best. I have gotten three piercings and I plan to come back to Matt and get more.
The tattoo shop was amazing. It was a very welcoming atmosphere and everyone was friendly and easy to talk to. Eric Henry is an amazing tattoo artist, he helped me out with my design and turned it into something i couldnt be more happy with. Thanks Eric for the amazing tattoo! Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a professional tattoo shop!
Matt did my piercings and he was so professional and everyone who works there. They make you feel at ease and comfortable. Matt marked where my piercings were going to be and made sure I like the spots before he did anything, he made me feel at ease and I love love love my piercings. Thank you Matt for your professionalism and very clean shop.
Let me first say, Arthur at the front desk is the absolute pinnacle of customer service. It is rare to meet someone you know you can trust right off the bat, but for that same person to speak as smoothly as a car salesman is trully a rarity. I would be lying if I havent been thinking of offering him a job as the face of my business.As for the shop; it is clean, orderly, and stocked. Feels welcoming and prices are excellent, for what you are paying for. It is a no BS atmosphere. They take care of military.Give this mom and pop shop a chance, they wont disappoint.
I love this place!!! I’ve been coming here forever everybody there is so nice and welcoming. All the tattoo artists are amazing and the piercer Matt is amazing also!! Very nice funny guy. Only guy i trust piercing me. Definitely stop in there if you need anything done. I’ll always come here.
I love this place! I am a repeat customer. Every time I go in Im greeted right away and helped. When I go to get tattoos I go and see Eric Henry. He is an amazing artist and does the best work Ive seen. If your looking for a great environment to get your first tattoo or your millionth I would recommend going here and check out Erics work.
Went to Matt to get a piercing done. He is highly professional and made the whole process for myself and my 2 friends that also went to get piercings done smooth and great experience. He is highly recommended. Down to earth and keeps you laughing not one of the piercers that “are there just for their job”. He jokes around and made it to where you don’t think about it and it’s done and over. Will be going back to him. Very clean also
Got my first tattoo here by Jonathan Santos. He is absolutely amazing tattoo was perfect ! He is extremely nice, professional, funny, and doesnt have a heavy hand. His line work is great and i was extremely satisfied and always get a boat load of compliments. Only person i will allow to touch me with a needle. And everyone at the shop was very nice and welcoming. Favorite tattoo shop. EVER .
I had gotten my nose pierced here a while back (Thanks Matt!) and loved how it turned out. Everyone was really nice to me and I had a great experience. I decided to come back to the same location for a smaller tattoo, but made the mistake of coming in my work uniform. A man at the front counter (who I’m assuming doesn’t typically work the front counter) was immediately so condescending about my job. Working in customer service, I’m used to it and laughed it off trying to move forward with what I was wanting to do. The comments he made toward my line of work made me so uncomfortable and uneasy that I ended up backing out of getting the tattoo that I wanted. The woman who was going to do my tattoo was very kind, and so was the man I’m assuming typically runs the front counter. As for the other guy, he was super unprofessional. I would assume that if you wanted someone to purchase your products and services you’d be kind to them? But instead I was insulted and he was beyond rude.
Very friendly staff,walked in and got my tattoo the same day,turned out awesome,clean place with good music,wonderful place to get your tattoos
Just got an awesome jewelry change from Matt! Cant wait until I decide what piercing to do next! Super great quality jewelry and always awesome prices. Ive been going to Matt for a while and literally will not go anywhere else. He makes the experience comfortable and he knows what hes doing. Seriously though, go see him.
Came into Angry Elephant for nipple piercings after a previous bad experience elsewhere. I had heard good feedback about Matt here at Angry Elephant and he did not disappoint. Its been about 6 weeks and my piercings are both fully healed and look beautiful. I highly recommend this shop and Matt. Good people, great work and the prices are about average to everywhere else in the Tampa area. Thanks so much! Will definitely be back for the next piercings!
I went for the $13 tattoo and had Mario. Great guy but rushed and went through 4 people in like 8 minutes and my lines are squiggly and he didnt finish my friends tattoo. It was just a leaf that wasnt finished but the fact still remains. I understand that its a busy day and there was a decent amount of people but I feel like if he took his time they would have came out better. Its a very clean shop with very nice people just a rough day.
Matt is hands down the best piercer Ive met!He has fixed some of my piercings by others who were obviously not nearly as knowledgeable or experienced. I am always able to trust him 110% with any of my piercings needs. I will not let anyone else even change jewelry for me anymore.
My experience here was incredible. I had the artist by the name of Eric Henry, he was so nice and his work is unbelievable. I came to him with a simple idea and he turned it into something so incredibly unique and amazing. I am very happy with the results. I definitely recommend!!!!
Fantastic. Shop is so clean, staff is so nice and helpful, talented artists. Prices are so reasonable for the quality they provide. Tattoo artist Nikki was AMAZING. Went in for my first tattoo and left happier than I could’ve imagined.
Eric Henry is amazing! If you are looking for a professional artist that can think outside the box, Eric is your man! He is a perfectionist, with great line work, color saturation, and the skill to create a one of a kind design. So happy I found him! He took my simple idea and created a masterpiece. I will never go to another artist again. The shop is always clean, and the staff very friendly. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!
Awesome guy at the front desk in Valrico. SugaNutt did an amazing job on my first tattoo. I know I got a hand tattoo which everyone doesnt do, and he did an amazing job. Am crazy happy and love his attention to detail!
I havent gotten a tattoo but I get e-cigarette liquid here. Its decently priced and hand mixed right in front of you. The liquid always tastes great and doesnt gum up my device coils. The guy usually working the counter is very knowledgeable and I usually have a great conversation about something or other while he is mixing my order.
Eric Henry is amazing! If youre looking for an honest, professional, visionary artist, go see Eric. I have nothing but true admiration for him and his artistic talents. He puts so much of himself into each tattoo; meticulous detail, flawless. Im equally impressed with the lengths he goes to, to ensure proper care & cleaning of equipment, work area and the individuals tattoo area. I highly recommend Eric. He has done tats for myself and my husband; both of us were elated with his work. He will definitely be our tattoo artist for any and all future tats. He puts his heart and soul into his work, for certain.
The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable! Mario is very talented and listens to your ideas and makes them happen. I tell him what’s in my head and give him example photographs and he goes above and beyond to make sure it’s exactly as I envisioned!
Ive been looking for an artist in Florida since I moved from Chicago three years ago. Based on a recommendation, I decided to check out Angry Elephant. Nikki Moon had some time before an appointment and was able to knock out my two small designs. The place is super clean and I love my new additions! I will definitely be back.
Got my belly button re-pierced. A little expensive but Matt was amazing and it didn’t hurt at all! He was very laid back with a great sense of humor. Very good at what he does. If I need anything in the future I will definitely be back!
Great experience! Took my daughter to get her first tattoo and both of us were so pleased with Marios work that I got my first tattoo as well! The place is very clean and the staff were very friendly. I would definitely recommend checking this place out!
I have had nothing but incredible, amazing, detailed work done by Eric Henry. He has recently did 11 of my tattoos, and I couldnt be happier. Clean straight lines, very sanitary and clean workstation and his attention to detail. I get compliments everywhere I go, especially my Ninja Turtle Pez tattoo!If youre looking for a great tattoo artist that is like no other, then Eric is your guy!
Keely is an AMAZING piercer! I was very nervous and asked a million questions and she had no problem answering all of them! She even said I could come back in 2 weeks to check & make sure the area is healing properly and to exchange out the jewelry when Im ready! She was fast and informative and made me feel perfectly comfortable! Ill never go any where else for my piercings! Thank you Keely!!
We went in after going to two Atomic locations that told my wife that they could not do a simple hand tattoo. Nikki Moon was awesome! Not only did she say yes I will be happy to do it, she did an amazing job. We live in Bradenton and this will be our go to tattoo shop from no on.
I was referred to Angry Elephant by a coworker of mine and suggested Matt for piercings. I got some work done and I felt so comfortable being there and not to mention that it was quick and painless. Matt is really good at what he does and is completely relatable and can have an easy connection with. I would definitely go back to get more done and refer people to come here.
Wonderful friendly staff .. Love Eric henry hes a great artist very talented and loves his job. Very clean and has perfect lining !😊He did a amazing cover up on me as well as a leg piece with my daughters name and flowers and is still as beautiful as day one amazing color .I would recommend to anyone I come across too!!!
What a great place. Cant wait to go back for some ink. Really immaculate and very professional . A bunch of really great people! Went in for emergency piercing.... Literally. One of my holes closed up and traveling for a wedding. Went right in and they hooked me up. Completely painless and wonderful experience
I went to Angry Elephant as a walk in and had just an idea for a tattoo cover up. Kody did an amazing job!! Way better then I ever could have imagined and I cant wait to go back for more!!!
I had my septum piercing done at another shop. I didnt really care for the experience I had at the other shop, so I went here because I was having the hardest time trying to get out the segment clicker the piercer put in my nose. Come to find out, he put copper in my nose and it had oxidized shut. They were all super friendly and Matt hooked me up with new jewelry to replace my shotty one that was now green. He was able to pry it open and put in my retainer with no pain 😊 Ill be back here for sure to get my nostril done!
If youre in need of a piercing or to have a piercing fixed, please come here and see Matt! He is THE BEST piercer around. Ive been pierced by him numerous times and will always be a loyal customer due to his professionalism, cleanliness, and pure sincerity and care for the client.
I went to get my first tattoo, the staff were really nice, and helped me pick out a great design that worked really nice. They were super well priced. Defiantly will be coming back to get tattooed again by Eric!!
First I do want to say the guy at the front counter is epic at customer service hes absolutely amazing. I missed my first appointment, i am very sorry for that. called when I realized an hour later that I missed it. Rescheduled. Showed up for the appointment the tattooist- Nikki Moon had a picture and was ready to tattoo. I paid the $50 consult fee thinking we were going to consult on what I wanted not that she would show up with a picture that looked like a chicken not a raven and put it on my arm without any input from me. The attitude was so classless. I also purchased body jewelry that was not real they did give me a credit towards more jewelry. But why am I going to buy more jewelry when I was just treated like absolute s***! I could have been a really good source and customer! Thanks but no thanks.
Amazingly clean shop and friendly staff. David is an amazing artist that helped me achieve my vision in the flesh. If anyone in the area is looking for quality tattoo work, I highly recommend Angry Elephant Tattoo!!! You guys now have a new customer for life!
Matt is hands down one of the best piercers in the Tampa Bay Area! I came to Matt for my philtrum (medusa) and Nipples he was super professional and explained the whole process as he went. The shop had a large selection of jewelry to choose from! He also informed me of all the proper aftercare. The shop was beyond exceptionally clean and the staff were super friendly! I have referred many friends to Matt and the shop!
A girl did my tattoo. This was my first tattoo ever and it was an amazing experience. She talked to me a lot and distracted me. It came out looking EXACTLY like the picture. The minimum was a little expensive for such a small tattoo but the quality was great and that is why this is getting 5 stars. I feel like if I went somewhere cheaper they wouldn’t have done as good of a job. I’ve seen lots of girls with my same tattoo and it doesn’t look nearly as good as mine. Love this place ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
My girlfriends and I stopped in yesterday and talked with Lauren Margo about getting three similarly inspired tattoos. This afternoon after a very short bit of consultation she showed us our designs and we were all so happy!Her designs were strong and skillful and the resulting tattoos are nothing short of perfect! I have had tattoos all over the east coast and I would come back down to see her again!
Outstanding proprietor and artists, friendly and helpful. Great studio, walk-ins welcome. Will definitely be back.
Matt was terrific when helping out my two friends and I with some ear piercings. Very knowledgeable and willing to put the time in to satisfy his customers. Will be returning to him for all my piercing needs.
Shop is spotless, and everyone there was so friendly...but above all, Deidre was amazing! She listened and designed the perfect coverup for some work I had wanted to fix/finish for almost a decade. She was encouraging through some painful spots and I was not only amazed at how beautiful her work is, but how quickly she created it!
I have been in to have several piercings done with Matt. He is very professional and proficient in his work. I am extremely satisfied with his work. I will definitely be sending my friends to him from now on!
Couldnt be happier with this shop. I went in with an open mind for a tattoo for my wife. I saw some incredible portfolio work and very friendly staff. After having such a great experience I asked an artist Suga Nutt about a piece Ive been trying to have done for years but I never found an artist capable of doing such a large piece. Angry Elephant made it happen and the two hour drive is MORE than worth it. Clean. Very well priced. I have over 90 hours worth of tattoos. I recommend this place and none other.
Went here to get a tattoo on my back and I cannot say enough good things about my experience. Everyone I spoke to in the shop was so nice! The took my idea and really made it beautiful. Thank you David (Suganutt) for working with me to make my tattoo everything I wanted!!
It was awesome! I got my belly button pierced there for my birthday a while back, theyre safe and clean! You wouldnt expect guys and/or girls covered in tattoos and piecings to be have so much respect and kindness for their customers!
Been here before to purchase a septum ring with my daughter. That experience was great! We paid for the jewelry and tipped for putting it in. Today was a different story. We went to purchase a piece of jewelry that was $10. I had planned on giving my daughter tip money when she informed me they charged her $10 for changing jewelry. Personally, I think thats too much but forget my opinion, that shouldve been mentioned before receiving the service...especially if you have been there before and didnt get charged for jewelry change. On top of that, the ball came off the septum ring as soon as we got home. Sloppy and expensive work. Thankfully there are new shops on my area that we will now give a chance to.
Keely pierced my ear for me. Got 2 cartilage piercings! She was awesome! Very knowledgeable and informative. Id go back to her anytime! Shes not one of those tattoo or piecing artists that seem unapproachable! Shell answer all your questions and shes a cool chick to deal with. This was my first time with her! She made feel very comfortable!
Shaina Jener- is ridiculous. SHE placed the marker where SHE wanted it. The guy with “21 years experience” literally told her that’s not a good spot. I have gotten piercings and tattoo here multiple times and NEVER had a problem. They are all great and sweet as can be! High key recommend this place! :)
Got alot of work done 5 years ago for 200 very satisfied so came back 5 years later and had a small amount of work done a hours worth and was qouted by manager 140 to 165 so said yes when done price went up to 200 for work is usually 100 worth make sure price is price walking out the door .. never going back
I wanted ear piercings done but didn’t know where to go since I recently just moved here. When I searched for nearby tattoo/piercing shops, Angry Elephant Tattoos popped up and decided to give it a go and I’m glad I came here. Especially glad for Matt as he was very professional, funny and chill!!! I’d definitely come back here for more piercings and tattoos :)
My first tattoo done here was very sloppy. Bad line work, unfilled spots and dull colors. I came in wanting a specific tattoo that I was wanting for the longest time and ended up with something completely different. His excuse was well this ones better. He was also very inappropriate and overly sexual with me. Good thing I had just turned 18 at the time while being hit on by a grey - haired nasty man. Never again will I get a tattoo or ANYTHING from here. And the best part is, i was charged $250 for a SMALL tattoo that wasnt even what I had requested. Nor did he spend any time putting in detail! Outrageous prices for awful work and rude artists.
David is awesome... My husband got his back done and turned out great... Thanks Angry Elephants for your dedication and David for Excellent art work!!! Went back next day got tribal pokemon for my kids and David did such a great job. I definitely refer anyone to angry elephant. Thanks yall.everyone there is polite and friendly I cant say enough on how great they all are we will definitely keep going back for our art work...
I stopped in looking for a new tattoo. I was helped very quickly and was able to get the tattoo done that night. Lauren Margo was my artists. She was excellent and did a great job. I wIll definitely go back to her to have more work done.
Matt is a great and patient dude. I came in to take out a piercing because I thought I wasn’t taking care of it correctly. He questioned where I got it done, (Atomic at the mall) and continued saying how the gauge was wrong, the type of jewelry could cause tearing and the piecer didn’t inform me the correct way to clean it. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Angry elephant to everyone.
Ana pierced my Helix today, she did a amazing job! I barely felt it! And she was extremely patient with me and made me feel comfortable. Because I was extremely nervous! It was my first time getting a piercing in a tattoo shop and not using a piercing gun. If I get another piercing, Im going to go back and see Ana!
Haven’t had any experience with the tattoo side but from how I hear the artist talk and work they have skill, on the other side it’s always a blast super friendly staff, knowledgeable with a variety of items. They aim high and hit the target, god job guys!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ANGRY ELEPHANT!! I have been using this shop for sometime now and I will not go anywhere else. Everyone is incredible. The environment is welcoming. The staff is friendly. When I make an appointment, my artist, Eric, is always prepared and ready. Thank you AE for being AWESOME!!!!!!!
Ive been going to this shop for years and absolutely love it! Dave/Suga Nutt is hands down my favorite tattoo artist. Ive had two pieces done by him already and I honestly cant wait to get more done by him. Highly recommend Suga Nutt, hes the best! Also the staff is always super friendly and they have a great selection! Love this shop! ❤️
Took my son here for his 18th birthday. Mario did an outstanding piece for him. Really nice work! I booked myself a future appointment while we were there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
I have gotten multiple tattoos from the highly skilled and very professional artists at Angry Elephant. I will never go to another tattoo shop again! The whole staff is super friendly and go above and beyond my expectations everytime I come in. I am always immediately greated with a warm and very heartfelt hello. Everyone is eager to assist. Their customer service skills are top notch! Ive never felt as though I was bothering anyone or being a burden as I have in other shops in the Brandon area :(Their tattoo artist are all appropriately licensed and practice clean, sterile technics.If you are looking for a shop you can feel comfortable and welcome in, ANGRY ELEPHANT is the place for you and all your friends!
The ever-awesome Arthur connected me with the beautiful and talented Erin! I lost my cartilage piercing, so Erin helped me find jewelry I liked, put them in for me with ease and precision and took great care of me overall! Angry Elephant is awesome, and I hope I can get a tattoo done there soon! -Rily
The staff is awesome and very friendly. They are quick to help you with your piercing/tattoo needs. The whole place was very clean and well organized. I highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit there.
I am 66 yrs old and had been talking about getting a tattoo for a few years. We were in Florida for the winter and I thought “I’m going to do it”. I love Manatees so that is what I wanted.I read the reviews about The Angry Elephant and I called and made an appointment. My husband and I went to the Winter Haven location and Miquel was so patient and did such a beautiful job. It was exactly what I was wanting. If you need a tattoo have Miquel do it. You will be happy with his work.
Had an amazing experience! the atmosphere in the shop was great. I got my ears pierced at a reasonable price and the piercer made me feel very comfortable! Will definitely come back for another (:
Angry elephants has a very friendly and helpful staff. I got my tatto done by Dave/ sugar nut who did a awesome job and gave way more detail than I expected, he is a awesome artist! I didnt expect my cannon tattoo to turn out that bad a**!
I have had Matt do all my piercings. He is extremely good at what he does. I don’t trust anyone else to do my piercings but Matt he is knowledgeable about what he does and always has a great selection in jewelry.
What I like best about the Angry Elephant is their customer service is excellent. In addition they are our one stop shop for a verity vaping supplies & quality tattoos. Stop in and check out their setup and you WILL NOT LEAVE DISAPPOINTED. I am not affiliated with them but great service and beautiful ink deserves a shout out. GREAT JOB GUYS & GALS..
Mario is the man!!! Created a work of art....While waiting for my appt, I had the most interesting conversation with Matt... HES A TRIP!! Everyone is so nice!! Definitely recommended going to Angry Elephant! Youll not only get a beautiful tattoo, youll also laugh your butt off with the comroterry!!!!
Matt is simply amazing and super knowledgeable. He made the whole experience super smooth, easy and fun. Will be going back for all of my other piercings. Thanks Matt, you rock!!
Went here for first time today to get a piercing fixed that atomic in the mall done.Matt is the one who fixed my piercings he was really great talked to me and made it as less painfull as possible. he explained to my boyfriend that they used wrong size bar that had threads on bar not in ball and the guy at Atomic ripped me. I highly recommend going to ANGRY ELEPHANT for any piercings .
Love this place! I have been coming to get tattooed by Jehzel for 5 years. He is professional, wonderful at taking your idea and turning it into a masterpiece, and above all his work is always clean and original. I moved to Orlando 3 years ago and still come back to Jehz for all my tattoos.I wouldnt go anywhere else.Angry Elephant is the place to go in the Brandon area if you are looking for a clean, professional location and Jehzel is definitely your man!
Highly recommended David who does piercing, he is very good at what he does and gentle ! David also messaged me at different times with the answers to my questions even when he wasnt working. I will definitely be a returning customer!
5 plus stars! Love everything about the Angry Elephant in Valrico! Friendly staff! Always welcoming and professional! Eric Henry is amazing! A true asset to the shop! He exceeds my expectations every time I see him. I tell him what I want and he and his imagination run with it...the end result, original perfection! I do now, and will continue to refer any/every one looking for work to Eric. True artist!
Got My Orbital Piercing in this shop and Im in love! Cant wait to change the stud for the ring ☺️✨
This place I thought was a nice place until I came to get a tattoo one afternoon, my boyfriend and son came along and ERIC cusses my boyfriend out trying to control how we parent, VERY unacceptable I walked out , he used very vulgar language , we refuse to use their services again. if you think there is an issue you can approach us appropriately.
Had Matt repierce my ear on an old piercing pagoda disaster. I had a good experience and got a sweet sticker. Everyone else seemed cool too and the place is clean. Would recommend.
Have been going to the Angry Elephant since 2015 and will not go anywhere else!!! I have worked with Jehzel (the Valrico location) the entire time and the other artists are very talented as well. Had one sleeve completed and started on the second yesterday. Have always left 100% satisfied and eager to go back. Im ALWAYS stopped and asked where I get my work done. In 2015 Jehzel won second place at the Tampa Tattoo Convention with my sleeve. People tend to forget you get what you pay for so if you would like quality work from a professional I would highly recommend the Angry Elephant.
Just wondering how long it’s gonna take you to address that you have David working for you yet online he’s saying he doesn’t think this pandemic is real and doesn’t believe in masks, that Trump is our Lord and Savior & everyone who thinks otherwise is a Scheeple.. definitely doesn’t make me want to get any sort of tattoo or piercing or anything that would be breaking my skin because I can’t imagine that’s very safe in a tattoo shop.& now he’s harassing people and saying he knows where they live and who they are!? Yeah not somebody I would want to represent my company.
My sister and I got our nose pierced and my best friend got her tragus pierced, all by Matt! He was awesome and so were the rest of the staff. Would definitely go back.
Recently bought myself a birthday tattoo that Ive been wanting for quite some time. All of my friends come to AE for any of their tattoing/ piercing needs. Its a very clean and sterile environment with great employees who are always there to help. I originally had no idea who I wanted to do my piece, but knew I had wanted to have it done at AE. Upon some research, I had found that Jon Santos was the best candidate for my piece. His line work was mega clean, and his use of shading and colors were nothing short of phenomenal. This was only going to be my 5th tattoo (not to mention largest and most detailed), so naturally I was pretty nervous. My piece required a decent amount of tedious line work due to its abstract design, and he killed it. Not only was the end result everything I was hoping it would be, but Jon works with a very light and quick hand. I HIGHLY recommend heading over there and talking to Jon if youre considering a new tattoo.
I dont think Ive ever given a bad review in my life but theres a first time for everything and this place has earned it! I went in with my cousin to get a simple tiny heart on our shoulders. We were okay paying the $60 minimum because we understand that it takes time to set up and everything. I will attach pictures of our hearts and let you decide on how happy you would be for this work. I tried to reach out to them via Facebook and Instagram but havent heard back. So Im just here to warn you what type of work is being produced. The first two pictures is of my heart and the last picture of my cousins heart. This wasnt even free handed, there was a stencil.
My best friend and I walked in this afternoon and were able to get helped right away by Eric Henry. He did great work and was personable! Great experience and I love my tattoo!
Awesome experience..got my tattoo with the artist Nikki. She is Fab and we talked and joked the whole time. I am hooked and have a new FAV tattoo artist. She will get ALL my tattoo business..Just Love Her 😍
Favorite shop in the area. I recommend tattoos by Eric Henry, hes easy to work with and my results were amazing. I was spontaneous at picking my artist, but I have now found an artist in my town with an eye like mine.
I had a great experience. Nikki was great. She had good vibes and I could tell she really had a passion for her work.
The blond hair women charged me twice on my card she said it didnt go threw the first time but it said approved. Then she did it again. Now Im looking at my bank with two transactions. When my daughter was done with her piercing Mat said I was specail (like I was stupid) and thats where my daughter gets it.( I guess he has this try to be funny but it wasnt funny thing going on with him) He was kind of rude to the people in front of us telling them they needed to hurry up because he has people after them . But my daughter was the only one he had to do next. But Mat was the only person that would do my 12 year old belly button on a SUNDAY I called every tatoo shop in lakeland . The price $60 that included notary. That seemed pretty steep for belly piercing. The lady on phone said it was $45 for piercing and $10 for notary that = $55 I dont know where $60 came from
Love this place! Great service and always clean. I had Matt do my ear piercings. Almost didn’t feel a thing! Highly recommend him to anyone that comes here
I have had several sessions with Jezz and have spoken with the owner several times. Both great guys. Jezz is so much more of an artist than I could have imagined. I brought a couple ideas in and he transformed them into something I could have never imagined. Vibrant, multidimensional, and completely over the top. Come in with an open mind, talk with them about the concepts, then let the artist come out and amaze you. I cannot express how great a job they do.
Went in for a tattoo, and it was a great first experience. My tattoo artist was suga nutt, he was very nice and very talented. Overall recommend this tattoo shop. Ive gotten a piercing her as well and everyone is very humorous and kind.
David Goetz / A.k.a. SugaNutt is one of the best all around artists in Florida !! Super nice guy, great conversation and his work his phenomenal ! Will continue to return to see David because no matter what style I want hes more capable than most artists around !!
Eric Henry is an AMAZING tattoo artist! I particularly love his color technique, it is truely unique. I highly recommend him to all that ask who did your tat?
Shout-out to my amazing tattoo artist David Goetz aka Suganutt!!!! Can I give him more than 5 stars??!!!!!! I was told at some other shop that I have to laser removed my previous tattoo if i want to get the cover up I wanted, so I stop at the Angry Elephant shop in Brandon looking for someone to save my arm from the ugly tattoo I got about 8plus yrs. And there he was Suganutt, he told me if theres a will theres a way and I cant be more excited, happy and in love with my now full sleeve mandalas flower tattoo. I highly recommended if you want to get a good, clean, unique work and like he did with me if you dont know exactly what you want he will find that right piece you want.
Great, clean shop! I have made a great connection with one of the artists (Jonathan) and I currently live in South Florida and I will continue to drive up north just to get great quality work done by him! Must check them out!
Piercer “with 21 years experience” has horrible attitude and sucks at SIMPLE nose piercing. Went right back to get it fixed since it was clearly crooked, he made every excuse not to repierce it including “I’m a professional” “it’s the shape of your nose” “it’s the nose ring you’re wearing” “it’s supposed to look like that” & “it’s your fault bc you chose the placement” (which clients ARE entitaled to do), also (he looked at & agreed too) It was a simple mistake/fix as I told him.. although there was too much pride to admit that. I went to another shop right after, they immediately noticed the issue and agreed that it’s pierced “horribly” crooked. Seeing my frustration, they repierced it (in the same spot). Was a simple fix. Like I had stated.***HIGHLY RECOMMEND Hot Box Tattoos for piercings, only 2 miles away from this shop. Very kind and knowledgeable people with the PROPER piercing tools.***
Got three tattoos tonight and love each one. He even touched up an old tattoo with no extra charge! You can tell suganutt is professional and knows exactly what he is doing. Friendly, professional, clean, and most importantly proud of his work! I will most definitely be back for future ink. Thanks suganutt ❤Plus seriously his name is suganutt! How freakin great is that!
Got my nose re-pierced and my friend got a double helix piercing. They were great! Super clean, professional, and painless. Definitely coming back for future piercings!
My daughter just got her ears pierced by Matt and he was very patient and kind even though she was really scared. The whole staff helped to encourage her. Great place and wonderful staff!
I loved this shop and will most likely come back again some time in the future. Their location is clean and very professional. These artists WILL work with you and what you want for your skin. I highly recommend.🔥🔥🔥
L love this place!! Great artist, which all have their own specialtys. Quality pieces in the smoke shop, and now they have 2 locations. One in valrico, and now they have one in south tampa in Britton plaza!! I would highly recommend this establishment if tour looking for professional art work, and quality smoking products.
Great results, I came to Dave / Suganutt(sp) late on a Saturday with an idea and half a design. Within an hour he really nailed down what I was looking for. The tattoo came out better than I anticipated. Ill definitely be headed back to him for my next!
Had piercings done here twice. They did wonderful!!! Very professional!!
Great place and experienced staff!
I got my nose and my daith pierced today by Matt and he made this the best experience ever. I was went from super nervous to laughing hysterically. I would recommend Matt and Angry Elephant to everyone!
Everyone here is great to work with. Artist that took care of me was Mario. He did a great job on finishing up my sleeve. Thanks again for the great experience.
I Went to ink villains the 2 for 20 deal and my ear was super irritated, and Matt helped me and was super helpful and explained everything to me. THANKYOU SO MUCH! would definitely Come back!
We had David do daddy daughter tats for us and they both came out great. Shop is very clean and everyone treated us great. Well be going back soon for other ink
Called to see if they were taking walk ins and when i got there she said nobody called today. Said the artist was coming at 12 and he didnt show til 12:15 and then asked what we wanted and said he didnt do the tattoo i wanted. The lady had an attitude problem and he did too seemed like he didnt even want to be there or do tattoos. Wont be trying to get a tattoo there.
Nikki moon is very talented and kind :) she really brought my tattoo to life, gorgeous black and grey work. Definitely reccomend
Love this place. Deidre does GREAT work. Second tattoo by her and I couldn’t be more happy. Very fun environment, but Matt is apparently a funblocker.
Suganut just finished my tattoo and it only room around 30 minutes. Super clean, and clean lines. Very professional and was easy to talk to. My tattoo looks amazing
Matt did an amazing job on my dermals! He was super professional, clean and had me in and out in no time! Thank you bunches Matt! Ill be back for more!
I didnt make it to the tatoo part... I called and spoke with someone about pricing and told him i was coming in a bit, when I came 15 minutes later the guy forgot our conversation and didnt mention on the phone that the artists wouldnt be there until 12... it was 10... then he spoke to me as if i were an idiot and didnt give him enough information... I went to Pin Up Tattoos right around the corner... they are great...
My husband and I were walk ins today we had kody and he was so kind and did amazing work!!! We will be back again!
Great Tattoo artists! Mario is awesome!! If you are looking for professional tattoo shop this is by far the best in the Bay Area. Outstanding service!!
Eric impressed me with my tattoo. I love it. His professionalism and kindness meant a lot to me since I was so nervous lol Ill be back for sure. 10/10.
My family and I received an amazing tat from Eric Henry! He was very friendly and professional. His line work is out of this world!
Awesome staff. Super clean and professional. They did an amazing job on my tattoo. Will definitely visit there again. Loved it.
Had a wonderful time getting a quick tattoo by Suganutt. The vibe was chill and there is so much talent in this building. My tattoo is awesome and I cant wait to visit again!
Its the second time Ive been to the Angry Elephant. The employees are attentive and courteous the place is clean. David Goetz also known as SugaNutt is great. The prices are reasonable.
Matt was awesome!! He’s super friendly and definitely knows what he is doing. Couldn’t recommend any one else but him to do piercings 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Ive got 5 great tattoos from david he was fast and didnt charge me outrageous prices like everywhere else I went and his work is killer Ill be back soon to get more work done in a few weeks!
Lauren Margo , she tatted me up for the second time in 2 weeks , pretty complex pieces and shes just absolutely amazing , crazy nice and is honest as all hell with helping you find placement and gives you input and she works fast and crazy neat , its impressive , absolutely recommend her to anyone anytime shes by far the best tattoo artist Ive met
Winter Haven shop Keysten was very helpful and did an excellent job with my piercings. Miguel does wonderful tattoos.
So my guy left (Mario) and happened to stop by today for the smoke shop. Was told new owner is doing away with that part of shop ....so....no reason to go to your shop anymore...
Sweaty betty here. loved this place. Matt was so nice and gave me a lollipop and fanned me after I fainted. 100% recommend piercings here!
Very caring workers. Thank you, my daughter is very happy. I know well be back. 100% worth going too. First time at tattoo place for her.
Went in there with a small tattoo idea, quick help with the artist and they turned my small idea to the best idea ever! Finished my arm piece! Looks amazing! Definitely recommend them for anything you need.
2nd tattoo’ very happy with the work.Environment was clean and friendly.I would recommend them to anyone I have used 2 different artists both did excellent work.. be back soon
I know they say not to judge your tattoo within the first month but it’s literally horrible and I’m so upset it’s on my body for the rest of my life.It’s blotchy the ink spread and it’s no where near what I expected. It looks like a cloud of ink surrounding my tattoo
Never disappointed with the amazing work that this crew puts out! If youre looking for quality tattoos and great people, then check this place out!
Super great experiences every time I come in. Suganutt has hooked me up both times with amazing quality tatts! Very professional and clean environment.
Repeat customer! Very nice and clean shop. All staff are kind,helpful and professional. Will not go to anyone else but SugaNutt for my tattoos !
Great tattoo shop! Awesome artist and great work! Austin did my back tattoo and it looks so amazing! I get so many compliment everytime people see it!!
An amazing clean and sterile place.ask for Mario. He is the best in freehand and portraits. All around a great artist a great man and a fair and honest gentleman
They do amazing work ... David has done 3 tattoos on my family. Going back in Nov for mom and daughters tattoos
Came here yesterday for my very first tattoo and was not disappointed! Lauren was my artist and she made sure I was as comfortable as possible and exceeded my expectations with the tattoo :)
Matt has the hands of an angel didn’t even feel my trigaus piercing he is so fun to be around would recommend 100 %thank you
Visit started with a unfortunate misunderstanding but the staff was able to do their thing and they were great. Fully recommend and thanks for taking care of my wife.
Never responds to messages.Very good at sneaking more money than what they initally said would be the total.Example:$10 piercings!! .... with $7 mandatory tip!A 70% tip?? BAHAAHA.P.s. if its mandatory, its not a tip. Its just $17 tattoos. XD
My friend and I went in to get a tattoo we were very much excited about , however we were never greeted and then when they spoke to us they had an attitude . Didnt feel excited about it at all anymore . Def wouldnt recommend to go there again . 😑
Angry Elephant is a very clean and friendly yet professional tattoo shop with competitive prices. Stop in and check out the artists books or ask for Mario...he does all my work.
The tattoo artist by the name of jezz is extremely rude and unproffessional . I came there to get my first tattoo and when I walked in there he was already mad or upset . And he said he does not waist his time doing tattoos that cost under $200.
Lauren was amazing!!! She did a great job on my tattoo and I cant wait to go back and see her for my next one.
Matt has the hands of an angel! Didn’t feel a thing for my naval piercing. Thank you so much!
I want to thank Erin B. for helping me tonight February 7.I lost my nose ring after having it in for over a year.I appreciate all the help u gave me.HIGH FIVE to u GIRLFRIEND 😍😍😍
Erin B made my piercing a great and comfortable experience! Thank you again ! Ill be coming back for more 😌
I got a water colored fox on my forearm, and my experience with SugaNutt was outstanding. Like I told him...he put a piece of my soul on display to the world ....need I say more
I love you guys, youre awesome! Ive been going to this shop for years. They have friendly staff and are very professional. SHOUT OUT TO ARTHUR, YOURE THE BEST BRO!
Eric did a great job on my Social Distortion Tattoo . Definitely would recommend this place. Price was good also . Thanks Eric.
Clean and accessible. Staff are friendly. Parking is always easy.
Good work for a good price, Dave (suganutt) has been tattooing my wife and I both for a little while now and we are very happy with what he has done.
SugaNutt!!! Thats all you need to know, and the only person you need to see in all of Tampa for tattoos!! Totally professional, clean, and fast ! Best quality for the best rates!
Mario is so awesome!! He was so friendly & my tattoo looks awesome! Will definitely be back for more work
All the men were very friendly and professional. Sugg did an outstanding job on my tat and a fixer upper
Excellent place, Mario is the best all the people are. Go here if you want a tattoo excellent vibe.
Always friendly workers, this guy named Art always has a great attitude. Prices sell really themselves, and tattoo compare to none that Ive seen.
Always pleasant everybody is always extremely nice only place I recommend. Special shoutout to David Goetz hes done about about 8 pieces on me and it always turns out better than I thought it would
Great shop, great staff, biggest thanks to my artist Diedre , most amazing tattoo, experience, especially for the first one
Great clean place. Everyone was so helpful. Cant wait to get my first tattoo 🤫
Poor customer service. Would not exchange glass purchased hours earlier and never used. Item was faulty just from looking at it. Spent alot of money there over the years. Will not be back.
Extremely talented artist. Very friendly and respectful staff. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for quality work done.
Dude didnt do it right caught a attitude because he rushed just because youve been doing it long doesnt mean you know what you are doing to add it was the snake eyes.
Amazing service , very clean and caring people. Loooove and definitely highly recommended !!
