Since January, I have spent over $1,000 at this location getting a 3/4 sleeve tattoo. During that time, two tattoo artists have left, both of whom were engaged in working on the sleeve (the second taking over for the first - a very messy transition when one was fired). The work on the sleeve had been, up to this point, inconsistent. There is lots of work left to do. Tired of the rotating lineup, I asked the owner to finish the work and make sure it was done properly. I was told it would be considered "new work" and that I would charged the full rate. First of all - go to a shop where the staff doesnt change every five minutes. Second - go to a place where you can trust that the owner will stand by the work completed in the shop. Third - go to a place where there is less of a focus on the aesthetics of the venue and a place that actually cares about the quality of the tattoo. This place may look like New York Ink, but what youre going to get is Tattoo Nightmares.

I absolutely love tattoos but I am very picky with who I let tattoo me. It is all about finding the right artist to get your tattoo right, and the artists at Prophecy Ink are exactly the kind of artists you would trust. After years of waiting and looking for a tattoo artist I was truly impressed with, I found one at Prophecy Ink and added to my little collection. The customer service was fantastic, listening to exactly what I wanted and creating something from that that I could only dream of having. Now I have a beautifully sentimental tattoo that was executed with great detail and superb linework. If you want a tattoo, this shop is an absolute must.

There are so many amazing things about this shop! The art that comes out of here is fantastic and the people that work here are lovely. I had a piece started six years ago and Travis King has just started re working it for me. In the past, this tattoo was unbearable, but now I love it and cant wait to have it finished. Ive also had another piece done by Jason Barresi and I love it! If youre looking for an amazing artist and a great shop, I highly recommend Jason Barresi or Travis King of Prophecy ink.

Ive never written a review of anything in my 43 years but...Im a bit of a tattoo collector, getting them from all over the country. Prophecy Ink - BY FAR - was the best tattoo experience Ive ever had. The front desk, owner, atmosphere, and artists were too notch and thouroghly professional. Josh was my artist during this trip; his work was impeccable, detailed, clean, affordable, and very very fast. Josh is a true artist who sincerely wants a happy customer. You can do no better than Prophecy Ink.

Not real impressed. The art/ink work I saw was good stuff. Unfortunately, I never got that far. Went in and described the tat I wanted, and the artist said he would have a piece sketched out in a couple of weeks. After a month and a half and two or three voicemails, I gave up. I wouldnt have minded so much if the guy had called me and said he was just really far behind, but he wouldnt even return my calls. Very nice shop, and pleasant people, but big lack of follow through.

The owners are incredible people and so kind. They provide an extremely clean and beautiful gallery with amazing artists. Jason did my first and only tattoo, and it is perfect! He catered to making sure I was calm and comfortable since it was my first tattoo and in a typically painful area. They host quality art shows as well as invite multiple guest tattoo artists to visit the shop. I suggest this business to anyone I know who wants a tattoo. Much love to Prophecy!

Highly recommend this shop! I finally went in to get a sleeve started and every minute that I was there, I felt comfortable. Kriss Rage talked to me about what I wanted and before I knew it, he had my exact idea on paper the next day. Even better, the tattoo is grabbing everyones attention and I am not even done with the sleeve. Very skilled and customer friendly!

I have gotten tattoos from most of the top shops here in town and I totally like this shop the most. Ive gotten my last 2 tattoos here and Im going in next week for a cover up from another shop. I have had tattoos for over a decade now and it wasnt until I got a tattoo here that random people approached me asking where they could get ink like that from.

Prophecy Ink has an awesome staff and they made my experience a pleasure before during and after my tattoo. Josh worked with my tattoo idea and made if flow to better fit my chest, while adding small accent to make it stand out. I will be going back to Prophecy Ink to see Josh again for my next tattoo. Thanks again Josh for an awesome job.

Gave my friend the wonkiest tattoo, The lines are super uneven and he wrapped it up before she could even get a look at it. We took the bandage off and its really bad. A stick and poke wouldve had cleaner lines. I got tattoos here years ago by Jason that are fine and even, seems like theyve gone downhill.

If your wanting a tattoo for the first time or want to add more to your life. Absolutely you need to go here. You want the best....this is the place. Everybody at Prophecy will love you if you love them. They know how to make you love your ink because they are the best. I love you guys. See you soon.

Travis King, the owner did my first tattoo at Body Art. He is hands down one of the best artists we have in the state and one of best black and grey artists in the country. The crew they have is outstanding and very friendly to all customers coming and going. Couldnt recommend any place higher.

Heather Pruss

Kriss did some fantastic work for me. He took time to help me design exactly what I wanted and did some incredible shading on my black and grey piece (roses). The owner and employees were all professional and friendly. I will definitely go back for future work.

I paid GOOD money for a HORRIBLE tattoo! Not satisfied at all! Went back for touch up and tattoo still looks HORRIBLE. Never again! I will take the loss and go somewhere else for someone to fix this horrible mess! Extremely disappointed!

Wonderful experience, received a beautiful professional tattoo. The shop was gorgeous, decorated with fantastic artwork. I could not recommend a better place than this one! Cant wait to go back!

I have observed the practices and work of this studio and gallery since they opened their doors. i have seen only good, quality, custom work by talented artists. Thank you for raising the bar!

Lex Achter

The people here are awesome. The art is rad. And all the artists are knowledgable and involed in their work. I love the work Ive gotten from Jason and I know Ill be back for more.

Stephen Thompson

Great place. Chris recently done a cover up for me and I couldnt be happier. Very professional and great atmosphere. I would recommend to anyone.

Got a tattoo there and they messed it all up. Had to pay someone else $200 for a cover-up. No way I was going back there.
