Good to know before you book
- Colour-heavy pieces benefit from a structured touch-up visit 4–6 weeks after healing.
- 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.

Abel is the GOAT. 🐐 I've gotten 2 tattoos from him so far. First was a custom piece second was a full color flash. The prices are reasonable, Able's a cool dude, and the atmosphere of the shop is super chill and everyone there is really friendly. I plan on getting most of not all of my future tattoos at Blackline with Able. My husband has also gotten a flash piece from Able and loves it. Can't recommend this shop enough.
I'd had many recommendations for John over the past couple years and I finally got the opportunity to get my first tattoo from him and my god he did such a phenomenal job. We talked throughout the entire tattooing process and he's a really nice and cool guy, incredibly knowledgeable about the process, and he's been very communicative after the whole process about aftercare. Definitely recommend John and his shop for their incredible work. Thank you again for the great tattoo!!
First time being here, and had a great experience. I brought my wife in for a Flash Friday tattoo (her first tattoo ever lol) and she was well taken care of by Poca. Solid work and didn't take long to get the tattoo done. The shop was also very nice, clean and spacious. Plenty of room to chill out. Easy place to find and plenty of parking out front.
