really rad, accommodating, safe & comfortable environment and service! i got this super cool tiger from nat's flash on january 18. i came in later in the day, asked for their most complicated flash without an appointment, and even still, nat not only knew they could do it BUT they were also PASSIONATE, METICULOUS, and EFFICIENT with their work. after only a few hours i got this sweetie, fully shaded and everything, it barely hurt which surprised me (my hand tats hurt a lotttt more) & even if it did, nat was constantly making sure i was ok. good flow state between locked TF in + bonding over shared interest in downtime (breaks, changing needles, etc). nat is literally the coolest person ever with the sweetest personality that doesn't compromise rigor and discipline in their work, which you can tell, because how the HECK did they accomplish this tiger so fast and so well??? the healing process was also short and perfect due to their aftercare instructions and good saniderm work. (and trust me. i KNOW bad healing, i know ball and i don't use 'perfect' lightly) i wanna say today, february 9, just a few weeks later, i FEEL that it's fully healed. no more itching, no peeling or crust or flaking (which would be normal ofc it's js convenient to me) it's like this has been on my body forever which is so sick. i know tatttoos don't 'fully heal' that fast, but all the symptoms of healing seem to be through, so while ofc i'm going to still follow aftercare, i want to emphasize that nat made everything as smoooth as possible; not just the tattoo itself but the healing after being easy was a result of their care. overall would deffo recc adc, especially nat (and steph who i also am workin with and plan to book soon)!! i would call adc 'beginner friendly' for people scared to get their first pieces or first of a kind, but i feel like that discredits the extreme expertise and evolved environment of adc - they're honestly good for anyone. i also know ball because bunny gave me a sick butterfly june 25 2025 that still rocks on and parallels all of my good words above. the one thing i would be weary of is that everything in there is so cool that you might just need to come back next time you have another idea or you're bored. this is sarcasm to indicate tone but i'm basically saying that you WILL love it and it is a WARNING. thank you adc :3 i'll be back soon
I got my inner thigh blasted by nat and even tho that spot is a pain and a half, it was so easy with bestie! everyone at the shop was so sweet to me, stopping by to say hi and ask if I needed water or needing help getting my phone back on the charger. its so nice to get tattooed at a place with encouraging baddies! Def will be returning and cant wait to get v to punch a hole in me!
This place is freaking Amazing! I have a Lot of ink, from a lot of different places, and ADC Tattoo is one of the cleanest, friendliest places I’ve ever been! We made an appointment, Amber took care of us immediately when we got there! She was SO informative and has such a big personality, I fell in love with this place the moment I met her and her amazing staff! She did exactly what we asked, which is our daughter’s name in her own handwriting (photos attached). The rest of the staff- just as awesome. A woman-owned tattoo shop filled with energy plus an obvious deep respect for healthy and knowledgeable tattooing. This isn’t your typical drop-in tattoo shop; the artists are incredible!! Thank you Amber!
