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.
- Calendars tend to book several weeks out — reach out as early as possible if you have a target date.

This place is great! I’ve now had work done by both artists Neil and Julio and both pieces turned out impressive and so much better than I imagined. The studio was clean, comfortable and made me feel welcome. I highly recommend this shop, I will definitely be returning in the future.
Mickey has done a few tattoos on me that still look beautiful & he just started my back piece and it has been a wonderful experience. The shop is clean and the artists are knowledgeable and do great work. Mickey is professional, kind, and his work speaks for itself. Whether it be a large piece or a small addition, I highly recommend 3rd Generation and Mickey!
Friday 9/26/25, I got my 2nd tattoo by Neil, who did my 1st on back in Oct 2024. Neil is a great tattoo artist & cool as a fan as he does his work with precision & professionally! I definitely recommend him & this really clean shop👍🏾
