This place was absolutely awesome. Chris and Sarah were just as sweet as can be. We discussed the designs my daughter Brandy and I wanted and off we went to the "room" I was scared to death and my eyes were darting everywhere. I told Chris how scared I was and he was so gentle with me. He has a light hand and very quick. The whole thing took about 10 mins. While yes it hurt when I said stop I need to breathe which yes is very important he quickly stopped and made me feel comfortable again. When it was time for my daughters turn he was awesome at letting me take thousands of pictures while he worked. Their shop is very very clean. He took time to make sure we knew he was using brand new needles and I was impressed when he spilled a little paint that he took time to clean it up right away. His art palace is immaculant as is his work! I just have to mention that he has the kindest eyes. When I expressed how scared I was he just was awesome in how he handled me. Thank you Chris and Sarah for a wonderful experience!!

My daughter, grand daughter and I all had tattoos done together at Memory Lane Tattoo Co. yesterday.Since this was my granddaughters first tattoo, we were very picky and wanted to find just the right place to have it done. We could have not found a better place, or asked to be treated any better than we were. Christopher and Mickey are absolutely fabulous. They gave us all of the time we needed to make sure everything was perfect before we started, and they both have a very light touch, which is a huge deal. My grand daughter was very nervous, and expecting it to be very painful. and after it was done, she was amazed at how little discomfort there was. We all were. I have had tattoos done elsewhere before that made me think they were carving bone, and its no fun. My experience yesterday was the best I have EVER had. If you want quality work, great prices and to be treated like you are top priority, this is where you need to go. They will be seeing me again!! Thank you MLTC!!!

First tattoo here. I dropped off some pics of what I was looking for and Chris put together a worthy sketch for my consult: a front facing eagle with seraphs wings, grasping a downward sword. The front facing eagles head has an almost Batman like dark gaze. Very much what I was looking for. Black and gray. I arrived for my appt at noon, with an estimated 2 hours for the work. Paperwork signed, he showed me the new and unopened utensils. Everything was immaculately clean. Great conversation while he worked and I wouldnt call it painful... more of a prolonged discomfort. It was easy to ignore it as an irritation while chatting. Chris is insanely fast. The trace-work was done in 30 minutes, and this Eagle has much detail in the feather work. We took a smoke break and then finished in another 30 minutes. He wrapped it, printed the aftercare sheet and it was good to go. All in all, Im very pleased with the entire experience and look forward to my next piece.

At Memory Lane Tattoo youll receive top notch customer service with a guy that brings years of experience to Bradenton, FL. Not only is it one of a kind but the shop is CLEAN!!! Being in Tattoo shops all my life, I couldnt believe the cleanses and the superior artwork displayed amongst the store. From a 5 second tattoo to a 5 hour tattoo, Chris does it all. His portfolio is off the charts! If your mind is set but not sure what you want, stop by the store and take a look, his ideas and creativity are endless. Im not a person who goes out of the way to write reviews. But because Chris went out of his way for me, sharing his ideas, thoughts and time, Chris, its the least I can do! Thank you for your consulting and making me feel comfortable knowing I made the right decision. So everybody, if youre looking for a tattoo, please stop by... its a memory youll never forget! I know I sure wont, thank you Chris!

I went to Florida visiting for a long weekend and wanted to get tattooed while I was there and called this shop. Chris was very friendly on phone and when I arrived greeted us. He gave advice on what to do as far as the tattoo and showed me the needles still in the package that were brand new. The price was decent and he took his time. He has a Midwestern vibe and sense of humor which my friend and I enjoyed because we are from Indiana and Ohio. His friend and fellow artist there were as well and we all had some good laughs which makes it nice just because tattoos are painful. This is my 12th one and I received a lot of compliments already and have only been home for 2 days. If I visit Florida again I will make sure to stop in there. Thanks again!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Such a friendly feeling and all the guys that work there are great. And the work, well I am so very impressed, not only did Mickey clean up the drawing I gave him to make it look its best, he used his knowledge and artistic creativity to make it even better than I imagined. And all this quality work for an INCREDIBLE low price !!!! I will be going back for more and more tattoos from these guys and very soon. My personal suggestion ~ The great price they charge you means you get a great tat at a little price, so TIP your artist ~ please and let them know as a customer you appreciate their hard work :)

Found these guys by reviews and have to say, totally agree. I was on vacation at Anna Maria Island and had been planning my tattoo for almost 2 years. Decided that it would be an extra memory for the occasion. Mickey was an excellent artist as well as being friendly and courteous. In fact, my mother and brother went back the next day and had tattoos done as well as my grandmother, other brother and two cousins had henna tattoos. Overall a great experience!

both Mickey and Chris were so friendly. Good conversation and atmosphere.Artist light handed, which makes a huge difference. Ive had 3 tattoos done other places locally and by far from beginning to end this was the best experience. Mickey was my artist. I gave him 7 pictures to show him what I wanted. he redrew and combined perfect. placement was my foot (hummingbird and flower) not a lot of space but he added a lot of detail to the size I chosen.

I had two tattoos done by another company, and lets just say they peeled and the line work was terrible. Needless to say I was very upset. I went to Memory Lane Tattoo to have them looked at and re done. What a difference. Not only did I have these two re-done, I also had another piece created. Chris is so gentle and my color is awesome!!! I will never go anywhere else. I will be adding to one of mine soon. Thanks Chris!! You are Awesome!!!

I had an awesome experience at Memory Lane, I went in with an idea for a tat and within a very short time talking with Chris he came up with a great idea. The design was perfect and exceeded my vision. The tattoo is amazing the line work is very precise and like I said exceeded my expectations.I highly recommend getting any work done you need at Memory Lane.Do yourself a favor and go in and talk to Chris, you owe it to yourself to get the BEST.
