Anchor Ink Tattoo

My best friend and I were looking to get matching anchor tattoos on our ankles. I was also looking into getting a white infinity tattoo on my ring finger as well. We were very excited to find a good tattoo place with good reviews, but so far my experience has been terrible. I spoke with someone on Facebook and asked if anyone did white tattoos. They said, "White ends up looking like a scar so as long as you understand that yes." I told him that is what I was going for because I was doing the infinity symbol on my finger and I was ok with it looking like a scar. They then told me if I did the anchor tattoo and finger tattoo at the same time there would be a discount but advised me to call the shop when they opened to get everything set up. I called them a little after one and what they told me in the shop did not match what they were saying on Facebook at all. They told me they dont do finger tattoos or white ink. A little later I had my friend call back about the anchor tattoos because I had to get back to work. She then sent me the following message that said, "I called them and they were like oh whats up Casey how you doing man? I was like uhh this is a girl and then they hung up." I asked her if she had the right number and she said they said, "Anchor Ink Tattoo." Just thought that I would share my experience because we dont really feel comfortable going there anymore. So far... Terrible experience. *This is an edit to my original post* Steve messaged me back. He apologized and said that there have been problems with their phones. True or not... I appreciate the apology. Even though he is booked for months he offered to stay later to do mine. I have already found another place to go, but I do appreciate what he did to reconcile to situation.

If I could give this shop and artist 10 stars I literally would... New to the area and I was looking for an artist to do a tribute for my grandpa as well as covering up a bunch of nasty scars on my arm. Set an appointment with Steve after looking at the reviews on here and seeing his portfolio. I was really nervous to go to a new artist because I had been with mine for many years and previous artist before that always screwed me over or let me down. Anyway, the day of the appointment when I went in he was on time to the T, ready to go and everything was set up. The shop was clean and the staff was friendly. I could tell Steve had been tattooing for along time (which I found out it had been 16 years). He had a good set up, good quality inks and equipment, he was light handed, everything was wrapped and clean. I am a really picky person and when he was done I felt like he went above and beyond of what my expectations were! I will post a photo below so you can see what I am taking about. You cant even see the scars on my arm anymore! He was very reasonable on pricing especially for being a portrait artist. He gave me good after care instructions to take home (even tho I didnt need them it would be great for anyone going in for a first time tattoo). He guarantees his work which also great for any touch ups that may be needed. He also wrapped my arm in some nice thermo wrap, most artist use cheap cellophane. Which thermo wrap makes a huge difference. The tattoo is healing nicely, no scabs or rough spots anywhere. I was so impressed that I set my next appointment up already and probably wont ever go to another artist after this. If you are looking for a GOOD EXPERIENCED ARTIST go to Steve you wont be disappointed......

Yesterday I went and met with Jason to sketch up a tattoo. When I first walked in, I was greeted very politely and had talked about what I was hoping to get. Then Jon came in, asking tons of questions about my ideas, and even asked my friend about her tattoos and future ones although she wasnt there to get one. Jason came and sat down with me to discuss mine and was completely nice and helpful about the whole thing. He gave his professional opinion and I am extremely excited to be working with him on my next tattoo. I have 3 tattoos that were all done at Big Deluxe and all 3 were done horribly and were blown out. So I am looking for a new, great experience with a new tattoo artist who truly understands what I want to get done and actually has a good attitude and level of excitement to be doing it. FOLLOW UP: I finally got my tattoos done so I can do a real review on the actual work that was done. Jason (who is AMAZING) did my feet tattoos...one on Friday and the next on the following Monday. Before we started, he ensured that the tattoo that he had drawn up was exactly how I wanted it...which is was better than what I could have come up with myself! The entire tattoo was custom drawn by him and turned out amazing. The time and care that he put into it made it the most amazing feet tattoos that I have seen on anyone so far. It covers the entire foot and the detail is just tremendous. I definitely have found my permanent tattoo artist! Anchor Ink has the most friendly and caring artists that you could ever find at a tattoo shop. They have all of the qualities that a tattoo shop should have. I highly recommend them.

There is so much to say at this place. Steve is my go to man, he did my first ink and came out beautiful, exactly how I want it and healed very nicely. His team are awesome and wonderful people, they create a very friendly and professional environment. I absolutely love this place, I referred my brother here and is getting the rest of his back done. You literally cannot go wrong here, they are all humble, straight forward, they have nothing to hide and there is nothing for you to be worried about. This is the place to go, I love the atmosphere, they are touch-base and they care about you. They crack jokes, making the atmosphere light and joyful, youll never leave there without a smile. Personally, I have been searching for years, met artists that dont even meet the standards as they should and the environment is either drab and sketchy or downright you feel like you shouldnt be there. Unlike Anchor, youre taken care of and excellent customer service. Getting inked wasnt as painful as most people think, personally I thought it tickled. My ink lands on my right hip just barely on my hipbone and thats when it started to hurt, but other than that it went well. Check it out for yourself, drop in, check the website or call in, this is the place to go.

I got a small font tattoo on the outside of my foot back in March. Casey did my tattoo. He only charged me shop minimum, which was nice. About a month later, I noticed that the font had started to fade and parts of it looked like there was no ink there at all. My first thought was that he did not go deep enough, seeing that I took immaculate care of it. I called to get a touch up because their shop GUARANTEES free touch ups. Couldnt get a hold of Casey, so I left a message with the person who answered the phone to have him call me so I could come in and get it touched up. It is now August and I have called about 4 times and each time, they say that theyll leave a message with Casey and yet no call. Ive even emailed him directly and he still wont respond. Each time I tell them that Ive called and they give me attitude and say they have no control of it because Casey is a private booth renter. I think its absolutely unprofessional and it completely counteracts their "guarantee" of a free touch up. Also on their website, it says that they accept all credit cards. When I went to pay, Casey told me that he only takes cash so I had to drive over to an ATM to withdraw cash. I will never ever go here again or recommend it to anyone I know.
