You know the experience that you have where you walk into a place and you just know that its just the right fit? Well this was one of those places. I was a tat virgin.. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, the only thing I knew was that Eric Taylors Instagram ( etaylor592 ) was amazing!!! I came in for what I thought was going to be an instant tattoo, but instead he spent two hours making absolutely sure that I would get the tattoo that I wanted. And then he insisted that I come back another day as he wanted me to sleep on it. He also suggested a slightly similar image than the one that I had chose as he felt it would go better based on the location of where I wanted it and after he put a non permanent version on me, I agreed. Ive since gone back multiple times and have given him my entire back. His shop is clean, and he is very much like a medical professional. There is nothing that screams stereotypical tattoo parlor about his place. I have never even walked into another tattoo parlor as the outside of most shops disgusts me, but with Erics place I do not feel at all afraid. It is not full of tattoos on the wall.. it has amazing paintings that he did himself. I have sent him many a friend and what I appreciate about Eric is that he will refuse to do a tattoo if he feels its not in the best interest of the client.. And I respect that. A tattoo is on you for life and you want to make sure that you trust the person doing it. Regarding previous reviews, I encourage you to look at his Instagram work.. The only racial issue that Ive personally observed is that he refuses to do glow in the dark aliens.. He works with a variety of individuals on a variety of tattoos.. His strengths are definitely more nature based.. That in mind, he drew an amazing pokemon on me that will always be my favorite.. It was my first tattoo and it changed my life.. Regarding pain, tattoos really arent that painful. Im not saying that theyre pain free but he makes it a point to observe you and he feels like its too much, he will stop.. I really respect him and I truly doubt there is anyone with as much expertise and talent as this person has.. My biggest complaint is that the name of his business is Xanadu yet when I run into clients the immediate comment is "I see you got an Eric Taylor".. He does not like to push his perfectionism and detail on anyone but all of his clients refer to his work "Eric Taylors". He is an artist in every sense of the word and I doubt I will go anywhere else. Thank you Eric for your professionalism and expertise you are simply too good for words. Looking forward to many Eric Taylors in the future.

Ive had a few brand new tattoos as well as a few cover ups done by the tattoo artist. His name is Eric by the way, Eric Taylor. While his skills are decent, his customer service is definitely sub par. He said something or had an attitude that offended me every time I went but I brushed it off and assumed he didnt realize and meant no harm. I stil think he doesnt realize but he is very rude. His attitude is as if hes doing you a favor for you doing business with him. If you are like me and wanted to do business with him because hes decent AND a bruh Id suggest you find another decent bruh to support. He acts as if he thinks the other mans ice is colder, if you get what Im saying. Dont take my word for it but be aware of it as you engage with him and if you share this opinion, do yourself a favor and take your business to someone who will appreciate.

Eric is the best! Not only is he a talented tattoo artist, but hes down to earth and just a pleasure to be around. He will be the only person that I go to for my future tattoos. He makes sure that you are happy with the placement of the tattoo before he starts. If you come to him with an idea, he will work with you to get the tattoo to look as you pictures it. You will definitely get a high quality tattoo, if you go to Eric. He also tells you how to care for your tattoo before you leave the shop and provides the ointment for aftercare, which is very convenient. I look forward to my next visit.

I have 6 tattoos and Eric has done every single one of them and every one is better than the last. I designed my own tattoos and always have an idea for what I want and he always comes through and it looks so much better than I even could have imagined because he knows what looks good and what works with your skin and what wont. I highly recommend him I promise that if you get one tattoo from him. Youre gonna want to get all your tattoos from him.

Wish I could give no stars..furthermore the tattoo artist is Rude and racist to African Americans!( By the way he is BLACK.) He boasted to me about his "white" clientele and how he didnt really like to tattoo black people. Smh! This guy is a clown. No matter how "white" you try to be..you will always be just another black guy in our eyes. Word of advice...stop tearing down your own people. Not a good look at all.

Xanadu Tattoo is truly a gem within the greater Tallahassee area. Eric maintains an impeccable shop that produces high quality art! They work by appointment only, however the final product is well worth the wait. If you want an artist with excellent customer service, dependability, versatility thats professional I suggest you look no further.

Every time Ive dealt with Mr. Taylor, has been an amazing experience. Hes one of those people that just knows how to make you feel comfortable. And he does amazing work. Unless I move, hes definitely my first choice.

Erics done quite a few of my tattoos and he always does an immaculate job and is also fun to chat with. Definitely makes you feel very comfortable... Ive got at least 11 more to get and he will be doing them all. :)
