A friend and I found this tattoo parlor on google, and it seemed to have good reviews so we decided on it. I had called the studio prior and asked what the minimum cost was for tattoos. We were informed that it was $60. We would be getting a simple, black, outline of an object so we figured it would be the minimum. However, once we arrived we were less than impressed. We filled out our paperwork and were brought to where the tattoos would be completed, which was in the middle of the room. There was a private room in the back, which was empty; however, they decided to put us in a very public place. The tattoos were going to be placed high on our ribs, meaning our bodies were generally exposed to everyone walking in and out as well. Once we met with our tattoo artist, he seemed nice; however, come to find out he was extremely rude with all of his actions. He was rough with the care of the tattoo while it was being completed and was just very unfriendly. He also finished the tattoo and then stated "Its messed up. I have to go over it again." Terrified, he again re-did the tattoo. He especially tainted our experience with his actions, and words that were spoken to us. Finally, when we were finished, we were brought to the desk to pay, where we were told the cost was actually going to be $80, plus tax which was exactly $8, making the final cost $88 which was much more than what we originally told. Looking back, I wish we would have gone to a different tattoo parlor that is more reputable and personable. It makes me think that the other reviews on google are from the workers and those who wrote them actually did not visit Addiction Tattoo. Also, after looking at my tattoo, I continue to notice that the shape of one of the leaves is completely misshapen and not symmetrical. We will definitely not be back here and will not recommend this to anyone.

I went here to get my first tattoo ever. My friend and I chose this place based solely on google reviews. Reviews showed this place got all 5 stars in 64/64 reviews....seems so untrue. As my first time, I was very skeptical about getting a tattoo in general and had a lot of questions and I have to say im disappointed about my overall experience here. We called before we came in for basic inquiries, they told us it would be $60, then when we got there, it came to $88 with tax. The man who did our tattoo seemed inconvenienced by us. When he drew up our initial sketch, we asked for it to be smaller; he rolled his eyes and when he came back it was barely any smaller. Nervous, we just decided to accept and proceed. I expressed to him I was nervous and he didnt seem to care. He placed us directly in the middle of the room, when we could see there were more private areas available-- we got upper rib tattoos, so not very respectful that our shirts were completely up-- anyone walking in and out could see us. While he was tattooing me, he was very harshly dabbing my skin after applying ink. Before I got a chance to see my tattoo, he stated "you kept moving, its messed up and I dont like it, so Im going to have to go over it again." I was horrified that I made a huge mistake. I dont believe he put his best effort in giving us what we were looking for and it definitely isnt his best work im sure. If I hadnt asked, he wouldnt have given me instructions on aftercare. So disappointed and wish my first experience was somewhere else.

A tattoo is a commitment. The ink is forever and so is the story. Ive been thinking about my first tat since I was 18 and now Im 21. I have asked many people where they had their tattoos done and where they recommend I go. I have researched many places, but when this place came up I noticed the reviews were solid. It was close to me so I thought I would go check it out. Its always better to go see for yourself anyways. I was trying to find a good place, for my ideas. I ended up finding more than that. The artist that helped me, his name is wheel. The kind of guy who doesnt have to speak about how good his art is. He is humble and honest. Also, how much creativity he holds, is insane. With all the detail I wanted, I wasnt sure if Id be able to fit everything I wanted into a certain area or just one tattoo. Wheel bounced ideas with me. The first time I told him about my what I wanted, we took about 2-3 hours sketching and researching. He tried more than anything and thats what I appreciate. He gave me his professional opinion. He stayed real with me the entire time. Letting me know what was possible or what wasnt. However, every idea and detail I had, he found a way to fit it in. Actually, he made it even better. The owner of the shop is friendly. Ive met him twice and I can tell he has a big heart and is extremely passionate about his work. The shop itself is clean, full of positive vibes, and has the most down to earth people youll ever meet. I wont be going anywhere else. Thank you for everything.

I walked into this shop kinda hesitant, but because Tito was so helpful and easy to talk to, I decided to get a tattoo by him. I looked at his portfolio, and I was sold. He is a very nice laid back guy and was real cool to talk to. I really liked the shop, Titos tattoo area was nice and clean, he showed me the brand new needles and opened them in front of me. I really appreciate an artist that will go to extra lengths just to make their customers happy. He is a funny dude, had me laughin the whole time. I will NEVER go to any other shop or artist, and I am so happy I came here. The atmosphere is very calm, and the heat worked great in there. I wasnt sitting there freezing like in other shops, and there was no fighting, or yelling, or anybody acting crazy like in other shops i have been to. I highly recommend this shop and TITO as the artist. He is very creative, and has crazy skills with his work. His lines are super clean, and very neat like they should be. Other "artists" in the area cant compete with this dude, especially with his work ethic to be safe, and sterile and shows his clients how a tattoo should be done. Take notes people! This dude is gonna be famous one day! Thanks again bro! I love my new tat and Im comin back for more soon and Im bringing mad people with me.

Before I went to Addiction Tattoo I review them and i saw they had real good reviews except for one complain about Tito, a gentleman was complaining about Tito not wanting to do touch ups on a tattoo he has done on him, of course i didnt pay mind to it and i had Tito do my tattoo, sure enough when it was time for touch ups, 1st he told me they didnt do touch ups on weekends i made appt. for a Tuesday i call on Tuesday to tell i was heading over, some emergency came up so now we change to Thursday. i call on Thursday and Dave answers. Tito never had me on the appt, book for anything but he told me to come over to make the appt, and he was going to may sure i was going to be taking care of, Monday i went in and Bobby G, took care of me he didnt have to do touch ups, he fixed my tattoo completely and made look beautiful, no charge, a very decent man, he just took over and made look great. He did such a great job i went back Wednesday and he did a portrait of a Taino Indian on my left leg, super tattoo, he just took him self to another level in tattooing. To Dave, the manager of Addiction, thank you, great customer service, and to Bobby G. simply, you the best, great job my friend, thank you,,,
