Valhallas Gate Tattoo

Friendly staff and professional at the same time. My experience here was very pleasant and definitely plan to go back for tattos and other possible other piercings.

Nick was great, we traded stories while he tattooed me, said back of the hand is painful to some but no issues. Very nice atmosphere and service, I'll definitely go back

He was very sweet and make us both comfortable. We had great conversation and overall a great experience

just got my first tattoo done today by nick, he did it freehand and its awesome! definitely exceeded my expectations. great atmosphere as well. def recommend! thanks!

Don’t recommend for piercings. Went for snake bites (1 on each side of lip). Messed up left side and pierced again, so 3 holes… STILL charged me full price and quoted $20 for a single replacement ball for a stud.

Badass place. Great artists. Rock music and the smell of green soap. Will certainly return for more.

This place did my navel so quick and easy. I have such a low pain tolerance and it still didnt hurt. would recommend to any of my friends.

We went in for a flash tattoo, my second time in this highly recommended shop, and both my wife and I got tattooed by Jackson. My wife’s rose tattoo, which he did his own version of, WE LOVE! It looks dope and we are both very happy with how it turned out. Only complaint with this one is after he put on his gloves, he then grabbed his phone to find a picture, theeeeen put it down and just went right to tattooing… But he boasted his 30 years experience majority of our time there. So this was confusing. What was more confusing, was what happened with my tattoo. A simple shift knob pattern on the wrist. I wanted him to do it facing me (which I understand is technically “upside down”) however when I expressed that, his demeanor completely changed and he muttered “I’m not even gonna f$ckin bother with…” Waiving his hands and shaking his head like I just insulted him. We had this exact conversation the last time he tattooed me (not that I expect him to remember ofc) But I understood what he was saying by “it being upside down”. Only he didn’t want to bother communicating to me. So, I took a moment to explain myself and he was SO adamant that it was still “wrong”, but nodded that it made sense? I get it that it’s against tattoo rules but I’ve never seen this tattoo the way he wanted to put it. He asked me twice if I wanted it facing me and I said “100%” He begrudgingly put the stencil on and away he went. Two funky lines and some goofy numbers. Not too sure what went wrong here. And like - I’m not gonna sit here and say he botched it on purpose, I really DONT think that’s the case, but this is 4 straight lines and 6 characters. I feel like 30 years of experience could handle that pretty well? The tattoo blows. Plain and simple. Now I know that happens sometimes, but this just feels like he didn’t put nearly as much care or attention into mine as he did my wife’s. Nor am I here here picking apart a couple errors on a HUGE piece. 4 lines. 6 characters. Is what it is at this point - no changing things.

Haven't gotten old tattoo fixed yet, but plan to soon! Love their work!
