So, heads up guys. Joey Sherman is moved back here and straight up killing the game. Let me just say, I am VERY picky about my tattoos. (Ive been burned before) so its very nerve wrecking for me to step in a shop and get something new. Joey is extremely professional and understanding and has fixed just about all my past horror stories. His artistic mind just blows me away. Like, I dont even have to come in with pictures, I just give him an idea and he runs with it and KILLS it beyond what Ive ever imagined. I live in Houston, Texas and his tattoos are the ones everyone asks about. So he has a huge following of people down here just dying waiting for him to come down and guest spot. You wont get any better quality professional work for his reasonable prices, believe me. So before you head to your cousins friends basement, or some shady hole in the wall next door to an illegal massage parlour, stop and give yourself a reality check right quick and look up Joey. Who are you trying to fool? Youll have this ink on you for the rest of your life, youre in good hands at black rose with Joey Sherman. I will follow this guy anywhere he goes and I live like a thousand miles away. Whats your excuse?

I had a tattoo done at a place called color theory, where the artists are supposedly "Amazing"....long story short, the artist butchered my tattoo, so 2 months later i figured, "hey, lets go to this place called black rose, its only a 10 minute drive from my house (most people travel far out of their way for their ink)". Chris Lawrence was able to turn a butchered tattoo from about a 5, to a 9 out of 10. obviously, you can only do so much with a piece that had already but botched beyond oblivion, but the way he was able to fix the errors made in my first tattoo was incredible! And he did it cheaper then the other place i went to. 100$ an hour, for a pretty good artist in your local area, you cant beat it. Were talking CROOKED trees originally, that he managed to straighten out the best it can be straightened. Chris Lawrence saved my tattoo, and he was also enthusiastic about doing it. I rate this place a 10 out of 10 so far. i plan on going back for more. Great place, and my brothers and his friends say the other artists are good their as well.

I have been going to this place since the day I turned 18. Which was almost 10 years ago now. It used to be called Doc Finns and Doc and Augie were the tattoo guys. Doc died and Augie now owns it and also has Tony there tattooing with him. Augie has been tattooing me and my family/friends for over a decade. The shop is clean, staff is very friendly, and the work is increible. I have been overly satisfied with all the ink i have had done at this place over the years. I would highly recommend this place. I am actually taking my fiance in tonight to get his first tat by Augie :) Hope this helps. Oh! and their prices...best around. Another shop...in downtown elgin...wanted to charge him over $500 for this portrait. Augie will do it for $300.

Excellent Today I had the privilege of watching a fellow artist create magic. Joey Sherman is not only an artist but a credit to his generation. His professionalism is a credit to himself and Black Rose Tattoo. Knowledgeable, sensitive to customer needs, and an all around gentlemen. Thank you for making Ray and my visit a great experience. See you soon! Cant wait to get my work done as well!

Amazing place!! Best shop that Ive been to so far. They do really nice work, for a great price too!! Very fun people who work there. Whenever I come here, I feel like Im at home. I was watching movies while getting tattooed, because Chris, one of the artists, has a TV in the room. It was a great time!

Joey is absolutely amazing! His artwork and creativity is top notch! Line work, color and freehand drawings are truly the best! I cant wait to have more work done by Joey in the future!! Highly recommend for anyone that is looking for high quality work!

AMAZING place, not only am i getting my sleeve done there, i feel like this is my tattoo shop. They are very intelligent and go out of their way to educate everyone on anything from care and maintenance to design and flow.

I went in for a specific small tattoo and Joey Sherman wouldnt do it the way that I wanted it. He wouldnt change the way it looked and said if he did it the way I wanted it. It would look bad. Not going back ever again.

I had a terrible tattoo on my shoulder I needed fixed in and Im super-glad I went here. Perfect and exactly what I wanted. The shop is clean and friendly, as well. 5 stars for sure.

97% Of my tattoos have been done by Doc (RIP Bro) and then to Tony. Their prices are fantastic! Unmatched prices for exceptional work, thats worth my drive!

You have to go to Chris Lawrence. He does the best work. He is very fair on the price and you will not be disappointed.
