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.

I went roughly a month ago for a custom twenty one pilots tattoo, and I went roughly 2 weeks ago to get a carnation on one arm that got some BEAUTIFUL creative touches added to it that my drawing definitely needed, and went back tonight for a matching rose on the other arm!!! I absolutely love these dudes, they are so kind hearted, down to earth, super caring, and insanely skilled at their craft. I’m trying to learn how to tattoo and was being shown tips and techniques on the rose i got and felt like i even learned a lot!!! These guys have extremely fair prices and do gorgeous work, please please please go to them for your tattoos!!! I will post another review with the rose once I get pictures for all to see. 100/10 experience, these guys are amazing.
Ricky is seriously talented! His fine line work and shading came out amazing. The artists are knowledgeable, skilled, and keep you laughing the entire time. Extremely welcoming guys that care about getting every detail right for you. They do take serious being clean at all times. Definitely found my go-to artist.
I’ve gotten multiple tattoos from Jerry’s Tattoo Shop, and I always have a great experience. The work is solid every time, and the customer service is even better—they make you feel welcome and comfortable from the start. Shoutout to Jerry, Shanda, and Ricky for being exceptional as always. I’ll definitely keep supporting this shop and recommending it to others! 🫶
