Went this week to get matching mother and daughter tattoos. We had met with Sean before because my daughter is 16. He’s super professional and you can tell he cares deeply for the art that is going to be with you forever. He explained the process to her very thoroughly, even made her laugh a few times. I was instantly comfortable. He was very clear about what will and will not happen. The day of he again went over the process and what he expects. The same care and respect he put into her tattoo he did mine as well. The shop itself is clean and feels safe. The energy is wonderful. Overall, if you’re considering getting a tattoo for your teenager or with them, InkFam is the place to go. Even an overprotective mom like me knew my daughter was in great hands and it was done with the greatest sense of professionalism. Thank you again Sean!

Came in today as a walk in and Eric was so kind to the start, he was really quick to get me in the chair. i was a little nervous but he quickly made me feel at ease. He was very clean too, after touching anything he would put on a new glove. The work he did was incredible and i highly recommend Eric! THANK YOU INKFAM (they also give me a free shirt for my birthday!)

The best artist hands down, very relaxing environment. Go see Sean and Shadow. If you're looking for your first or 50th tattoo, you will not be disappointed.

I came all the way from New York to get a tattoo from Sean at Inkfam and it was the best tattoo experience ever. The store was very clean and welcoming and Sean was great and did great work. Next time I’m back in town and need some ink therapy I know where to go to get it. Thanks again Sean you are the man.

Monique is my most favorite piercer in all the land.. I've been to a million places and have many piercings and she is by far the best..she goes out of her way to find the exact jewelry im looking for and makes sure I'm comfortable the entire time for an easy smooth piercing.. she is so sweet and I always enjoy our conversations..she is who I will choose for any future work!

First of all, I’d like to thank Shadow for the unforgettable experience of getting my first tattoo. 2 years ago I decided I wanted a henna inspired piece and a friend of mine had recommended Shadow. I looked into his work and right off the bat knew, I wanted him to be the artist for my piece. I had a consultation and was able to get the process started. Leading up to my tattoo appointment, I got to know a little more about Shadow and got to appreciate what he does for the community. This made me feel more comfortable, as he is a very transparent and laid back person. The day of my appointment arrived and he brought in this amazing energy that helped me prepare and feel comfortable. We designed the tattoo together based on 3 ideas and he made it fit perfectly. He went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and able to get through my tattoo session. He executed my vision. I truly recommend you entrust him with your visions. He is a true artist and you will not leave disappointed.
