Original Duke City Ink

Josh “Dank” did an amazing job of bringing my conceptual idea to fruition on my forearm sleeve! Very professional, patient, and skilled at what he does. I will definitely be back for more work and recommend him to others

I recently got my first tattoo here by Stephani and she did amazing! She was very patient with me on all of my requests and gave me something better than I imagined. I felt extremely welcomed and the shop was so clean and organized. They also have beautiful art for sale, I bought a painting and some stickers.

I had an amazing experience with my tattoo artist, Dank1er/Josh! From the start, he was super easy to communicate with—I texted him my idea, and he came back with not just one but two creative takes on it. He’s currently accepting new clients and was flexible with scheduling, even though I could only come in on a Saturday due to work. The shop itself is spotless and really welcoming. The front receptionist was kind and helpful, and the atmosphere was awesome. Josh even offered me a drink and a snack, which was such a thoughtful touch. While I was getting my tattoo, other artists and even a few customers stopped by his booth to compliment the design—which says a lot! The fine line work and shading are absolutely perfect. Josh has incredible attention to detail, and his bedside manner is top-tier. We chatted throughout most of the session, and I felt so relaxed I nearly fell asleep. He also made sure I had time to stretch and move around when needed. If you’re thinking of getting a tattoo, I can’t recommend Josh enough—talented, professional, and just a genuinely good vibe from start to finish.
