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.
- 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.

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for this place. Especially for Andy Felty. My dad passed recently and to honor his life my sister and I wanted to get his signature with a heart drawn from our mom. Andy opened his shop to my family and I to allow for any emotional space that was needed. Andy’s heart is in his art and we could not have wanted this experience in the hands of anyone else. Thank you Welcome Stranger for everything. We will be back.
Photo is taken the day after by me and poorly lit…sorry Andy! I have been tattooed at Welcome Stranger for years. Andy and his team work very hard to have the most welcoming, inclusive, and caring culture in the shop. I have come to Andy with some weird ideas and he’s always open to what I want and quickly redraws my idea just the way I want but better every time. I wish I could give even more stars. Love love this place.
As a woman, I have encountered uncomfortable situations at tattoo shops but not at Welcome Stranger. Andy was super friendly and professional. He’s an excellent artist and gave me the best tattoo! The shop even provides free Topo Chico which I think is such a nice touch. I can’t wait to go back for more tattoos!!
