As soon as I walked in I was approached by the owner with a smile! I got my first tattoo here by Rempe and he did an amazing job. If youre interested in traditional tattoos look no further than Lakeside even if youre interested in a different style please still check this place out! They have an artist for everyone. Every artist here is absolutely talented and thats not what made me fall in love with this place, but how friendly they all are. The atmosphere is great here, its very relaxed. I loved this place so much I got my second tattoo done 2 weeks after my first. Im definitely not going anywhere else than Lakeside.

Got my tattoo done by Andrew Slater and am beyond happy with the service. Tattoo shops with friendly people and staff are (for some reason) hard to come by and the person I spoke to while booking my appointment was beyond helpful and informative. Andrew did a fantastic job with the design and gave me a lot of input for the final piece. He was very accommodating and gave me some great aftercare instructions. Price was very reasonable for my tattoo as well. Not much more you could ask for! Great environment, friendly atmosphere, and quality service. Will definitely be back.

I went here the other day for my very first tattoo. Richard was my artist. I was nervous and had him redo the stencil for my tattoo like 3 times but he never made me feel bad about it. Everyone there was super friendly and welcoming, while also hard at work. Oh, did I mention Richard did a sweeeeet a** job on my tatt?! He managed to get a line of text around my ribs to be straight and the finished text was perfectly done. No shaky hands here. Ive gotten so many compliments already on the quality of the tatt in general as well as the preciseness of the font. Thanks again!

My tattoo is nice but the guy was so beyond arrogant. He made me wait 2+ hours for him to draw up my tattoo in which I paid a$200 deposit for the appointment. I would think he would have started it when I made my appt two weeks prior. I will never return because he was such an a hole. I wouldnt have let him finish if it werent for losing my deposit. Didnt listen to what I had to say about my tattoo he just sumed it to me not being able to handle the pain not that I knew what colors went well together or not.

Andrew has done all of my tattoos (except my crummy black flag piece) and my experience has been great. He is honest and will keep your best interests in mind. Highly recommend for fans of flash and traditional but if thats not your thing (its not particularly mine) he is capable of other work and/or will recommend another great artist. Go see Andrew and his sister Amanda for your next tattoo.

This is my fourth tattoo and Ive never had a better experience at any shop than this one. Richard was incredibly nice and I will definitely be going back! There is nothing uptight or uncomfortable about this place - a welcome change from everywhere Ive been. I would have paid more just because the experience was so good.

Since weve moved here in Jan. We went here just out of spike t oget tattoo work and now we cant stop. My husband has gone to Rich at least 5 times since Jan. to let Rich work on him! Ive gotten one from him and his work has been the best work I have ever put on my body! LOVE THIS PLACE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

My favorite shop. All the artist are amazing & have great personalities. This the only shop that I go to now. The give awesome work with reasonable prices. The atmosphere is pretty chill also. I recommend this shop for anyone looking to get some ink.

Great shop. Shaun is a fantastic artist (not saying everyone else isnt, just the only one weve had experience with). Wife has gotten two tattoos from him recently and Im going in to start a big leg piece next week. Couldnt be more excited!

Amanda was wonderful! She was careful with her application of the stencils and patient as we reapplied to find the right fit. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and will definitely be returning!!!

John Kim

Got my first tat by Rich. He was extremely helpful and made sure everything was perfect before tatting me. I highly recommend this place. Will come back if I get another tat.

Worked me in on a Saturday, I am deaf they were very accommodating and did wonderful work. My artist was Amanda and I could not have been more pleased with her work.
