First off, If you are thinking about getting a tattoo by one of the guys at this shop, quit thinking and DO IT. I have been getting tattooed by Sweeny for years now and I send all my friends and hell strangers to this shop. All of the artists are super talented and I trust them to create the art that you are looking for. Quality of work: I cannot say enough about how beautiful and detailed the tattoos I have gotten from Sweeny are. I get stopped on the street just for someone to tell me how awesome my ink is. If I could figure out how to put a picture on my review I would. I would not get a portrait from anyone but Sweeny, and I have three portraits to attest to that. Let me tell you why you should listen to me when I say the quality of work is so fantastic. Its because I moved away from VAB 2 years ago all the way to Michigan and I still drive the 12-15 hours to get here. Atmosphere: This shop just plain makes you feel at ease. This place is clean and inviting. The front staff is super friendly and everyone is very professional. Which you may know is very rarely the case at other shops. I really though the giving you a call a few days before your appt was a really great touch. These are the people you want to have tattoo you.

Not happy with Mitch. I decided to pick up a tattoo while I was at the beach, I read good reviews about this place and decided to stop in and check it out. Immediately felt like they did not want to do a tattoo for me, it seemed like the kept trying to talk me out of getting a tattoo. But eventually they said I could come back in a few hours for my appointment. They tried getting me to change my placement so it was easier to do. I agreed to get my tattoo on my back instead of my leg, so as Im going back in the room, my boyfriend follows me, and Mitch, doesnt say a word, and he just shuts the door in my boyfriends face. He show me the stencil he drew up for my tattoo and before I get to actually get a good look at it, he takes it back and asks if I liked it. I told him yes, the tattoo didnt look bad but he completely re-designed the tattoo to suit him. Once we were done I finally got to look at it and there is a random dark triangle that was not there and a small mountain that was not supposed to be there either. He seems too cocky, the coloring was off and he done what he wanted to do with it. Not happy, and will not be returning. ATA just lost a customer thanks to Mitch

Sean Sweeney and his boys are the best! Great atmosphere and personalities in the shop, totally comfortable for a young female to go in by herself which is rare for most tattoo shops. New great location can go right down to the pharmacy to get what they advise for aftercare. Sean fixed a thigh piece I had done in my home town and was extremely unhappy with, after 2 sessions Im in love with it and cant wait to come back for more pieces. Completely speechless for the transformation he did, dont be scared to let him do what he wants and free hand with sharpies. You will LOVE it!!! Even if youre out of state it is well worth the drive, make a weekend of it and spend time at the beach since its such a great location. Thankyou American Tattoo Art! Love you guys!

I wrote a honest bad review of this shop on their facebook account and the owner called me threatening me saying hed get me fired from my job! The next day I went into work and he seriously called my job trying to contact corporate and more to get me fired. Then removed my review on his site anyway! What kind of adult business owner goes after a young persons job because of a review they could remove from their page! Stay away from this shop!

After 4 years of debating on tattoos, parlors, and artists I met josh! And Im so glad I did. Compared to other shops Ive been in ATA is above and beyond. Everyone is friendly, it has a lounge like atmosphere, the artists are all exceptiobally talented, and its clean and personal! I will never go anywhere else or recommend anyone else. This is the place to get your tattoo call them now! Photo in comments

So as someone has followed Sean for years (5+) his work is truly amazing this new shop is a reflection of his hard work and his skill with a machine and satisfying clients. Proud owner of a gnawrly skull and rose done in a style that stands out. Plus as someone who has OCD this shop is amazingly clean. Also I referred my tattoo less boyfriend to here for his piece and taste of ink.

Great shop! The owner and staff are all incredibly talented and friendly. My wife and I are very pleased with our tats from here! It is a very clean, proffessional, and modern environment. They accommodated all of our custom requests with ease and made us feel right at home there from the getgo. Already scheduling a return visit for another piece.

Everyone here is great. I was a patron of the previous location and was treated like I had been a friend for years. If you want a great experience from professionals who will treat you with respect and help you to walk away with a piece of art that will be admired and appreciated, you would do yourself a disservice to go anywhere else.

Some of the greatest artist calls this perfect lil shop home. The talent is out of this world, its extremely clean & well taken care of. Everyone is so kind & welcoming. When you get that itch for some ink I highly recommend getting your forever piece from these guys. You wont be dissapointed!

This place is awesome. Went in yesterday, talked to Chad and walked out with two tattoos. Chad knows what hes talking about, puts his heart into his work, and gives his professional opinion to make sure your art is as great as it can be. Ill definitely be going back here.

Apparently they dont need the business so dont bother walking in the door. Very abrupt almost to the point of rudeness. Mitch "doesnt do" any thing Celtic or tribal because its not in his book. Could be why the shop was empty on a Saturday afternoon.

Ive been to a few shops but I love this one! I get my tats done by Josh and literally get stopped all the time by people all over the country asking me where I got them done. Josh is the best! His linework and attention to detail is unrivaled.
