Good to know before you book
- 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.
- Pricing sits at the premium end of the market here — most reviewers feel the result justifies the rate.

I have had 3 pieces done at Black Heart by Rainie! One was cover up and one was refresh of an old tattoo. She knocked it out of the park all three times! Rainie is my go-to artist. She is insanely talented and her attention to detail could be considered obsessive, and I say that as a huge compliment! I have never had a single bad experience at the shop. Jeremiah, Sage, Roberto, Maria and Anthony are all super talented! I have seen work done from all of them and it’s all stellar! Also everyone is so friendly and it’s always a joy to talk music, video games, motorcycles, and just life with them. So, If you have even the slightest desire to get a tattoo, let Black Heart be your choice of the shop to go to.
Maria was my tattooist and as this was my first time having a tattoo so I had no comparison. I didn’t realize how talented she really was until I saw the final product. I was so emotional I was lost for words. Maria is so meticulous and takes pride in what she produces and she is so sweet too. I have drawn many remarks on how perfect the quality of my tattoo is, some from people that have tattoos themselves and they are very impressed. Also the team in there are really friendly and welcoming. While In there you feel part of their world as they draw you into conversations and treat you like one of the team. I was witnessing the work also of Sage and Marco and like Maria, they are so talented. The care and attention they take to their craft, you can really see this is their passion. I’m now on my 3rd tattoo and can’t see myself stopping soon or trusting anyone else to do them.
The welcoming vibe from Black Heart Studios is perfect for novice tattoo folks to veterans. The individualized service and attention to each guest is perfect for those who want to have their body customized with a new tattoo or touch-up to old ink. The staff and artists work very well together and allow each other to showcase their personalities and talents from decorating their stations in unique and bizarre yet beautiful ways to creating amazing work on visitors. After four visits and 6 tattoos from different artists over the years, my wife and I can confirm that this is THE place you want to get your next tattoo. Thank you Black Heart Studios!! Can’t wait until the next visit.
