Good to know before you book
- Fine-line and micro work here demands a clear reference — bring high-res images and expect a short consult before the needle.
- Traditional pieces tend to be quoted by piece, not hourly. Ask for flash sheets if you want a same-week appointment.
- Realism and portrait work depends heavily on reference quality — clean, well-lit source photos make the biggest difference.
- Walk-in availability isn't always posted online — a quick phone call is the fastest way to know if they can fit you in today.
- Calendars tend to book several weeks out — reach out as early as possible if you have a target date.

I’ve been going to Jeremy Cook for my tattoos and I can honestly say I’ll never go to anyone else. He’s such a down-to-earth guy and makes the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable. His work is absolutely amazing — the best I’ve ever seen — and every tattoo I’ve gotten from him has turned out perfect. This shop is hands-down the best I’ve been to!! If you’re looking for a great tattoo experience and top-quality work, Jeremy is the one to go to!
Me and my boyfriend got tattoos here and Royce was amazing!! Very quick, amazing drawings and light handed! 10/10 will be back.
Very traditional and welcoming shop, with many artists to choose from. And Royce did an amazing job. I personally was very impressed and would recommend these guys to anyone.
