Forged In Ink

I seldom give out 5 star reviews, but Forged In Ink is worth every single star. I had an old faded tattoo of a cardinal. It was a memory piece I got in honor of my grandmother. This tattoo (pictured) was almost an embarrassment … right on my forearm for the world to see. I was introduced to Russ (the owner of shop) through a family member who had some work done there. I was hopeful that Russ would be able to clean it up a bit, but he suggested a total coverup. Knowing it could only improve from where it was, I decided to go with his professional suggestion. He put a design together, I came to the shop, signed the paperwork and 4ish hours later I have a piece that I can be proud of. Not only for myself, but also as a memorial to my grandmother. I couldn’t be happier with the results (the new tattoo is pictured). The shop was clean, the seat was comfortable, and the artist was incredible. I have a lot of skin to cover and 100%, without any uncertainty, Russ will be my tattoo artist for life.

Russ does an amazing job as always, I refuse to let anyone else tattoo me. Very professional, clean, and patient. Will continue to come back to him , highly recommend!

This place was amazing, the atmosphere was great, everyone was nice, and made you feel welcomed. Russ did my tattoo and I love it! He does such great work and his prices are reasonable. I will definitely be going back.
