The Secret Beauty 8000 North Armenia Avenue, Tampa, FL 33604

"This place is top notch, 6/5 stars hands down. Super clean studio, all of the artists are friendly, professional, and insanely talented. I worked with Jonathan on finishing the inside half of my sleeve and he absolutely crushed it. His design skills, line work, and shading are some of the best I’ve seen. I could not be happier with the final result. Highly recommend this place!"

"As I stated in my previous review, everyone and I do mean everyone at The Secret is so kind and friendly! I went back to finish up my memorial tattoo for my Dad and I could not be happier with it. I feel so honored to have such a beautiful piece of art on MY body! Chris was my artist, he truly cares about his work and his clients. He throughly inspected his work and made sure that every detail was there, every highlight was bright and every color was blended seamlessly. He followed up with me the next day and the following days since my appointment (almost a week ago) to make sure everything was healing just as it should. I truly appreciate his attention to detail and how much he cares about his clients. I can not wait to come back for more!"

"Went to the Tampa area on vacation and got this beautiful piece done by Chris. It’s not finished yet, but I can’t wait to get it done! I had the greatest experience here. The shop was super clean, comfortable and honestly fantastic. Watching all the artists while I was there was incredible, they all have so much talent. If you’re in the area looking for some ink DEFINITELY check these guys out!"

"Don’t go here. Artist wasn’t even there when I arrived for my appointment on time. I sat for 15 minutes while he set up his equipment. As he is tattooing me with his gloves, he kept touching his phone, then touching me with the same gloves. Not sanitary at all! Artist, Chris, kept insisting I continue to sit longer after 5 hours and even after I told him I was in pain and wanted to be done for the session. The shop gave me no print out of aftercare instructions, just verbally said to wash with NO SOAP! And cold water? After I sent him pictures of my wounds not healing correctly he basically said it was my fault and that I didn’t clean it properly which was false. I contacted the owner of the shop, Carmelo, who only just offered me to touch up the areas, no compensation for any inconvenience or anything. He then insulted me and was rude. Save your money and time and go to a shop who is sanitary and professional!"

"Georgey absolutely blew me away with his original artwork he did from my reference. His line work is flawless and even though his concentration is black and grey, his color work on this tat is stunning. Luis did an amazing word tat for my son - a very intricate, technical piece that came out literally perfect. Not one mistake. I'll never go anywhere else. The whole staff is friendly and accommodating. Stephanie did a great job matching us both. Thank you! Awesome place to get inked."
