The first time I walked in, I hit it off with the Artists immediately. When I say Artist(s), I mean it. They all have their each significant sense of artistic style thats culminates into whats known as the Black Talon. Theres this laid-back , yet sterile (meant in the most positive way) atmosphere thats both relaxing and fun, which isnt an easy combination. Specifically, I work with Brad and Allison, or should I say Beauty and the Beast. Yes, obviously Brad is the "Beauty" of this story, with his luxurious amber beard straight out of Valhalla. Dont get me wrong, Allison can sport a decent beard too, shes just going for a more professional, cleaner look these days. The friendly banter and off-handed comments keep our sessions far from boring. We laugh and joke at the expense of me exchanging hard-earned money for them to dig deep into my flesh with sharp objects, in order to mutilate my corporeal body. Finding the right tattoo place can be daunting. Your mind asks all the important questions. Will I get a good artist? Will the colors fade in a year? Are they clean? friendly? I can assure and alleviate you of all of those concerns regarding Black Talon. These guys are patient, willing to work with you and if you even give them enough time to know you, they may dig into your ribcage a bit softer. YES, IM TALKING TO YOU BRAD! I cannot recommend this place enough, Ive been inside other places in the Brandon/Tampa area and walked out immediately because of bad vibes. Getting a tattoo is more than an experience, youre physically and spiritually altering your body and life. Who better to guide you though that transition than the Artists at Black Talon. I sincerely thank you guys for the great work you have done on me, and this is coming from the heart...-Kit

So the guy directly below my review should be ashamed of himself. I was walking into the shop that has been doing my familys ink for a long time now and he says to me "man go someone else these people dont know anything." As he walks out Mike says to him "dont come back" (because the man became very rude with him.) After Mike says this, this Mr. Crawford man gives Mike the bird. My point is this guy came in asking for a style of tattoo that he was mixing up with something else and didnt like being corrected and got rude with the staff. After I talked with mike to get the full story we started my tattoo. I am extremely pleased with the work these guys do and their shops atmosphere is fantastic. My schedule with work is very crazy but they accommodated to all my needs. 10 OUT OF 10. Youve been measured. youve been weighted. Youve been found badass

Will never. I stepped into this store to discuss design for what would be a rather expensive tattoo. As I started to explain the concept the large fella behind the counter interrupts my description to attempt to "correct" my description. I grew tired of his attitude and decided that I wont be having someone like him deliver something so permanent. He became belligerent when I explained that I was going elsewhere because he wasnt listening. I guess he was offended that I thought he wasnt good enough. And thats exactly what I now think. They may do great work. But I will never find pout because in not carrying around someone like that on my skin forever. You have been weighed. You have been measured. You have been found lacking.

I got worse experience with these guys they wont have any value at customer end. I took an appointment one week before an i submitted the photo prints which they asked immediately. Once i went there to take tattoo they said they done appointments for two guys at same time and they just cancelled my appointment. Very carelessly they said that they dont have any appointments also. I wasted my lot of time and energy by reaching out couple of times and these guys are very careless about customer time. I wont recommend this TATTOO center.

Hands down the best tattoo shop. Everyone is truly professional. You can take an idea to them and the next thing you know they have turned it into something far better than the idea you had in your head. Mike is an unbelievable artist. I first went to Old Buffalo for a cover-up and when I saw the professional work that was done, I immediately knew I had found the ultimate shop, not only have I continued to return for more work, I also took my wife there. So far Mike has completed a sleeve on me and a complete work of art on my wifes back. If you are thinking about getting a tattoo and want it done perfectly go to Old Buffalo, you will not be disappointed.

First off, the guy below, Jason Crawford is an ass n a half, and while I was there he acted just like one, this is a great place with cool guys and that do great work, The guy Jason Crawford came in for his first tattoo thinking he knew everything about tattoo and he sounded real dumb cause he wasnt listening to what the guy was trying to tell him

Mike is the MAN. I went in to get a tattoo tonight, and I walked out with a work of art. There is something transcendent about an artist that is willing to go above and beyond to deliver a unique piece of body art. If you want a masterpiece coupled with a casual and easy-going atmosphere, look no further than Black Talon Tattoo. Hail Skroob!

The best tattoo shop I have ever been to. They truly care about their customers, the shop is the cleanest Ive ever seen and Mike Barrs is a true artist. Im never going anywhere else. All my favorite tattoos have been done here and all my future tattoos will be too. I highly recommend going here for any piece youre trying to get.

I went for a consultation last week with Brad and gave him a picture of something I wanted with alittle variation... Other than a few names I gave him free range.. Im so glad I did! It is more beautiful than I could ever imagine! I will absolutely be a repeat customer of his!!! He is absolutely the best!

Top notch group of artists and people. They are very professional and understanding of what you want done, and how to make it look right. My wife and I have gotten a total of 6 tattoos at this shop and everything looks great. Highly recommended to any and all looking for ink work.

I used to live in miami so my tattoo artist is all the way there, Im very picky. I walked in and felt very welcomed, the atmosphere here is great, Im so lucky I found Allison, she is the best, she is super quick, I love my tattoo. Thank you. You guys are awesome.

My biggest complaint with getting tattoos is the attitude of the employees (aka Atomic Tattoos). However Brett (Artist) and his coworkers were friendly and polite. Brett did an awesome job on my tattoo and I would highly recommend them.
