"Went in for a St. Patricks day special. I love my tattoo. The artisit worked very hard to get to each customer, when it was very busy. I also was impressed on their cleaning routines after each person. Great place, great priced and very professional."

"I decided I wanted to get a tattoo on a whim while at work and decided to go right after work.... Knew I wanted to memorialize my cousin who died last June in a car accident. Aaron had no problem taking a walk-in. He did a dang great job. I just wanted simple"

"Great work and deals. Make sure to tell the guys Taz sent you"

"Don't let them scam you into an aprenticship. I was paying THEM to be there and all they ever had me do was work counter and clean the shop. I was allowed to use my tattoo machine about three times in the three months I put into that place and they just expected me to start tattooing on people. The only artist who put time into my education quit because of how badly they where treating him. The owner made me clean out his camping rv and would never keep up on his promises to teach me any thing.The owner is completely unprofessional and borderline psychotic. Do not buy their house made ink it is not sanitary or safe. The owner makes it on his desk in the disgusting office that every one eats and smokes in. I am so mad I trusted these people for a quality learning environment. Half the artists are scratchers DO NOT waist your time here in any way I beg you. I would have given this place zero stars if I could. Absolutely ridiculous. I hope the owner gets pissed when he reads this. You waisted too much of my time and money. I hope your shop closes down."

"I've been getting Friday the 13th tattoos all over the country for the last four years or so. These folks, by far, have the best setup for this promotion ever. They also had a ton of great flash at different price points. Aaron hooked me up with a solid piece of flash and I booked an appointment with him for next week to get a piece he had on his wall of designs. So so so happy, I chose the folks at Traditional Ink after moving here a few weeks ago. Thanks folks for an awesome experience! UPDATE 10/2023 - Some 3.5 years later, I'm still going to see these folks for my ink. Seamus, Aaron, and Thor run a professional, immaculately clean shop. A few new artists have joined up recently. I got my most recent piece from Manny and the other skinny new kid with the oxblood Docs was super sweet. Also, I'm super stoked to see Alana slinging ink full time now. She's an amazing artist with a ton of talent."
