I had an appointment back in December. I know the review is quite late, but i just now had something spark my memory for doing it, so this is not a "heat of the moment/misery loves company" type of review. This isnt a review of the shop as a whole, or necessarily the artist, but only my experience. I had an idea in my head about a sleeve i wanted done. Knowing there were some shops in the area, i decided to do a little research, since im not very familiar with their work, only the names of the shops. I have a few tattoos, but they were all done out of the area when i was in the Navy. After some research, i found Beneath the Skin, and i was very impressed by some of the work i saw, and noticed i went to school with one of the artists. I wasnt expecting a discount on a tattoo or anything, but i havent seen him since 2003, so i thought itd be cool, and i liked his work. Over the phone, i set up an appointment to come in, and the atmosphere was cool. Artwork and decor was pretty awesome, they were playing Lamb of God, which i was totally cool with and it was loud! I figured, my kind of place. The artist basically asked what i wanted and set up a time for me to come in after New Years. He didnt really ask a lot of questions as to what i wanted it to look. He just gave me a quote and set up the next appointment. He said when i come back, he will be able to figure out what i wanted, draw it up and get it done. He made a mention to cancel no later than 24 hrs prior and i told him that wouldnt be a problem, im very interested in getting this work done. It seemed a little rushed and disinterested and i think my confirmation came a week or so later when he texted me 45 minutes before i was due to come in, saying "something came up". Said he would get a hold of me to reschedule on monday. Yeah, it was a friday, and when i didnt hear anything on monday, i texted then called monday and tuesday, with no response. I probably could have called the shop, which was my fault, but if i had to chase someone down who probably didnt want to do the work anyway, i might not want that ink on my body. So thats MY experience and based on the reviews, it seems like a decent plalce. I however, may not be coming back.

Your quest is over...look no further. Finding the right location where the shop is clean and professional and the artists care about their work is a difficult task. When I was searching for the right place I was finding good artists but maybe the shop was questionable or the shop was fine but the art was not something to be desired. I wanted to find a place where the artist cares about what they are putting on your body and it is done in a professional way. That is what I found at Beneath the Skin. I would highly recommend this tattoo shop to everyone. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed with how the store looked and then after talking to one of the artists, I was sold. Getting an appointment was easy and I was able to bring my ideas and show him what I wanted. The artist perfected what I was looking for and proceeded to bring my vision to life. I was impressed by the cleanliness and the professionalism that took place during my time there. I plan to add more to my tattoo in the future and I am definitely heading back to this location. The artist was so good that my wife plans to go back and get her tattoo here. You can tell the artist what you are looking for and bring in your own ideas. Please check out the website and the artists. I would also recommend going into the shop and talking with someone face to face. I give this shop two thumbs-up and highly urge you to take a look whenever you are thinking about getting your first or next tattoo.

Horrible customer service. Drove 40 minutes for a simple nose piercing based on a few recommendations. Hours for Sunday listed as 12:30 opening, arrived to be told piercer comes in at 1:00, OK might be nice to know that ahead of time, but we decided to wait. Biggest mistake ever! Piercer shows up, only to be grabbed at the front door by another customer, instead of acknowledging us and the fact that we were there waiting, she starts a consult with this other customer. After 15 minutes, we now need to leave, and I ask if there are appointments because I will need to come back, and now the piercer perks up to give me an attitude and tell me I need to wait until she is done is with Mr Cut the Line to make the appointment. Apparently she isnt capable of understanding that I NEED TO LEAVE, not continue to wait while she shoots the breeze with this guy about his cover up and vacation plans. So we drove 40 minutes, waited 45 minutes, and left with no piercing, and a crying teenager. Fabulous experience. Do yourself a favor and dont go here, maybe if they lose their business they will learn to treat people with some respect. Also beware of the fact that they dont answer the phone, you cant leave messages because the mail box is full, and they dont bother to post on any social media if they are closed....again completely lacking in customer service or simple respect

Im writing this review for a friend of mine since I know they wouldnt do it. I recommended beneath the skin because I have gotten all of my work done there and enjoyed the experience. After two of their top artists left it seems the business has started to quickly decline. My friend went in to speak about s small simple tattoo they were looking to get. She made an appointment and everything was good. Shows up to her appointment and the artist who was supposed to tatto her doesnt acknowledge that she is there for her appointment and instead he starts tattooing someone else. Seriously? After an hour of waiting he finally asks how he can help and she tells me she had an appointment. His response was "oh I forgot". You forgot? Thats your job. You are supposed to know who is coming in, what they want and what time. Sad to see where this place is headed but I deff wont be recommending this place to anyone else and I also wont be returning.

Last week I received my first tattoo in 14 years. The tattoo I wanted was for a memorial of my brother whose 1 year anniversary of his passing was July 17, 2014. I contacted Beneath the Skin Tattoo for a quote and spoke to Josh directly. I gave him my ideas that I was interested in and when I showed up for my appointment he made my ideas come to life in such a beautiful piece of art. I wanted to change NOTHING. I could not be happier with my experience at Beneath the Skin Tattoo. Josh had a wonderful personality and made me laugh several times during my 4 hours there. I was also very much impressed with the atmosphere of Beneath the Skin Tattoo. This wasnt your typical tattoo establishment. Everything was exceptionally neat, clean, and clutter free. Even the ladies bathroom was extremely clean! Everyone was friendly and welcoming.
