Had an awful experience at this shop. First of all I have gotten 6 tattoos from shops all over the world and never had a bad experience like this. I knew what I wanted, even drew it myself and explained/asked 3 times if what I wanted could be done. I wanted to keep the tattoo soft and light, lots of white and light color. What I ended with is nothing of the sort. I was hopeful it could be fixed and went in to ask the artist if it was possible, he acted as though it was no big deal and an easy fix. I was still skeptical (obviously) so I came back with photos later that day to show and find out if the fix was possible, he was not in so I spoke to others in the shop hoping to ease my anxiety about it not being able to made what I had wanted in the first place. One artist told me the moth would need to be lightened completely and redone to look like what I had wanted. I was still hopeful and kept my appointment with the original artist. When I arrived for my appointment, Ill admit I was a little quiet, slightly nervous, but still polite enough. The appointment was set for 12:30, I was made to wait until 1:15 to be called back (no one else was even there and they had just opened...I cant figure out why I was made to wait?) I finally get back there and I do not even have an opportunity to show him my pictures before he starts in on about it being my fault and my dark skins fault that the tattoo looks muddy. Really? I am caucasian, tan yes from swimming with my son, but def caucasian. I also have other color tattoos that just pop and are beautiful! At this point he was shaking, he literally held up his hand to show me and told me it was my fault because I was upset. This tattoo is on me for life so I believe I have every right to be upset, although I wasnt raising my voice in the least and tried to listen to his many reasons why it did not turn out and accused me of harassing the other artists. He raised his voice and I headed out all along the way being yelled at by individuals in the shop. There are even witnesses who overheard me being yelled at as I left. I was distraught. My husband called and asked why I was treated so badly and the shop offered to give half our money back. Good right? Wrong. They then proceeded to avoid my husbands calls and refused to call him back. When he finally was able to talk to someone they told him to come in 3 days later to pick up the money when he arrived they went back on their word (which we also have witnesses who were sitting here when he told us how much he would give back) and only gave a 1/3 of what he had promised to give back. If the shop would have given the money back like they said I would have let bygones be bygones. I had yet to write a review or say anything to my friends but unfortunately they could not even follow through on their word which is just plain shady. Please do not go here. I am still recovering from being yelled at and made to feel awful by this shop.

I have gone here for several pieces so far, as part of a coverup/sleeve project on my arm. Heath, the owner, is a very nice man. Aaron Yuhas, an apprentice there, is the one who has been inking me and is incredibly talented and getting better with each piece! Not only has he inkd me, hes done art for many of my friends. Hes been very patient with me and was great with brainstorming ideas for what would fit on my arm or be able to cover up the old tattoo that was there. Ive had him do a couple of super girly pieces that came out very cool. This last session he did an amazing job creating a custom look for a coconut octopus that I was really digging and has some of the best shading Ive seen him do yet! He also freehanded the beginning of some coral that will finish covering my old tattoo. I cant wait for this to get finished and see the completed look!

Best place you can go to hands down. I walked in the shop when Heath approached me on what I was thinking about getting done when I wasnt really sure what I wanted but just a wolf in some form of a sleeve. with very little details that I gave him he came up with the most awesome sleeve I have ever seen. really awesome job very detailed and colorful. I have had it now for about a year now since its been finished and it still looks like it did when first walked out the shop. Now I live in Germany and to this day people on the streets and all around Europe ask me where I had my work done and I tell them that place is legit! Must go check this place out they are amazing!!

Hands down one of the best tattoo experiences Ive ever had. The owner of the shop, Heath, is very nice and a total professional. He takes a lot of pride in the shop- as evidenced by how clean it is and how dedicated all the employees are to the art they create. Aaron Yuhas is an apprentice there, and hes the guy who inked me. He is incredibly talented, creative, and patient! I knew components of what I wanted but I wasnt sure exactly how to make it come together. Aaron did a phenomenal job taking my ideas and creating an original piece. He then proceeded to do a phenomenal job tattooing that original piece on my forearm. Highly recommend.

I have gotten multiple piercings by the owner Heath and they were all painless and exactly what I wanted. I just got a tattoo done by Justin and I couldnt believe how painless it was! It came out perfect and I couldnt be happier with it. I am a regular customer here and the owners and all the staff are always extremely polite and helpful. Never have I been disrespected or treated any way other than how expected at a professional business. They are also very clean which makes it a very comfortable relaxed environment :) definitely recommend this shop to anyone thinking of getting pierced or tattooed!!

Heath & his crew are awesome!! Their artwork is amazing & they will go out of their way to make sure that you leave satisfied with your tattoo! This is the only shop Ive been to here in FWB where the artist really cared about if you were happy with their work & the prices are very reasonable!! I have several tattoos & the ones that were done by Heath are the ones I get the most compliments on. I had Heath do a cover up (it wasnt an easy one to cover) but he made it work & it came out amazing!! I wont go anywhere else!! Thanks Heath & FU Tattoos for being awesome!!
