I have quite a few friends who have several tattoos, so I went in to getting a tattoo with a pretty good idea of how things should work, including price. I visited quite a few different places and asked about things, and almost everywhere I went, as soon as they realized I was new at this, their priced jumped to over 300 bucks for a relatively small tattoo. I knew I was getting ripped off for prices, and I left 6 shops disappointed and discouraged. But I pass Skin Alternative every day on my way to work when I get my coffee right next door, so I decided to check it out. I walked in and Tony was very nice to me, I got a price that was average and matched up with my friends ranges, and I actually was able to get it the same day I walked in. Everything is very clean in there, and Tony was really nice. I have a relatively high pain tolerance, but he still asked every once and a while that I was doing okay and if I wanted a break. Got my tattoo here about a month ago now, it barely hurt at all, healed quickly, it looks exactly how I wanted it to, and took barely even an hour of my time. I already am planning my next one, and I will definitely be getting it here.

I LOVE my tattoos, the place was CLEAN, had information & pictures to look at, and conveniently located. Troys work was 100% perfect. He had a tough job fixing a dog paw print tattoo that I had "fixed" 2x before elsewhere....He made it look AWESOME! I am VERY happy! I have terrible OCD and even with my medication no one could get it to look like a paw. Then I had my kids names put on my wrists and they are completely straight & even. I waited sooo long because I was afraid no one could get it right where I could look down a trillion times a day find no fault. I am SOOO happy!!! Troy Kipp is the man to see if u suffer from OCD and want a tattoo!!! I cant wait to get more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As I passed this shop today, I decided to stop in and get an estimate for my 1st tattoo. Tony was more than happy to explain the process. He was professional, friendly & completely put my mind at ease. He even was able to get it done right away. 45 minutes later, I walked out with a beautiful tattoo. Looks better than I ever expected. The experience was quick & fairly painless. Facility was super clean & price was very reasonable. Unlike other tattoo places, they dont take advantage of 1st time tattoo customers. I would recommend them to everyone & I will be looking forward to my 2nd tattoo. Cant say anything about other tattoo artist, but Tony was awesome!!!!

I dont usually leave reviews, but I think the staff at Skin Alternative deserves it. First, I have to say, the shop was immaculate and all the areas were super clean. The staff was very friendly, professional and made you feel right at home. Almost like hanging with friends. Jenna is an amazing tattoo artist and she drew up a nice custom badass design for me. I was very happy with her work and Im not easy to please! I would definitely recommend them for your tattoo. They make the experience pretty painless with an awesome payoff!

Went as a walk in today. Look...Great place. Pricing is reasonable and people are cool. Had a small piece done near wrist to fill in blank on my half sleeve. Smooth process. Jenna was friendly at the desk and welcoming. Tony did my ink who really did nice job and is cool as mf. Troy the owner who dropped in was cool as hell. Made me feel at home. I be back for more.

This place is nice and homey. Everyone here is friendly, great and have a great vibe. The artwork is awesome and Jenna my artist is extremely detailed, and an awesome artist. Great combination for a great atmosphere. My piece is coming out really well and cant think of any other professional I would rather have doing this tat.
