UPDATE upon finishing my AMAZING (yes, I can say that!) Tattoo: Chris Parry was so wonderful to work with. I have received so many compliments on the design, color and detail on my tattoo. Also, it healed every time without issues and now it's on me to care for it with all that 100SPF sunscreen and shirts. Thank you, Chris, and Eye Heart Tattoo for making this one of the best things that happened to me during a rough 2025! Previous review: I am having the best experience getting my first tattoo ever (and I am 48)! After a few years of admiring tattoos, I was gifted one as a birthday present. I chose this shop based on research among friends/colleagues and Eye Heart Tattoo came highly recommended. Eye Heart Tattoo was able to help me refine the concept I was seeking by pairing me with an amazing artist, Chris Parry, whose style suited the design I was after. Chris really helped bring the concept to life in the final design through consultative sessions and behind the scenes work. I have had two significant sessions to complete the outlining and black/shading. Both times I have been very comfortable at the Eye Heart Tattoo studio and loved to see the camaraderie among the artists/staff - you can tell these folks love what they do! Lastly, I have been really happy with how quickly/nicely the skin has healed - as this is my first tattoo, I didn't really know what to expect but in following Chris's guidance for after care, several people have commented that it is the "best healed" tattoo after such a short period of time. Pic attached from studio day!

My besty and I are having a Witchy Wednesday to start spooky season!… you know, coffee, spirit Halloween, thrift store kinda day. Decided a tattoo should be added to the list. Stopped in Eye Heart Tattoo and so glad we did! Front desk guy was super sweet and fun so that’s always a plus walking into a shop. Trent was our artist and worked with us to draw up our spur of the moment tattoos and we are so freakin happy with how they turned out. He took his time with perfecting the stencil for accurate placement on my friend until it was just right and also catered to my slightly unusual color request 🙏🏼😎 Personal opinion- i absolutely love the vibe of this place. Reminds me of how tattoo shops used to be. Straight forward, artistic, personable and not the bland, boring, “must appeal to the masses” kind of environment I’ve seen more and more of over the years. Thanks fellas! For making our besty day even better!! 💕☠️ (will update with photos when healed)

Amazing work by Joe! He designed exactly what I described and the completed work is absolutely perfect. He works quickly but thoroughly and the shop is meticulously clean. Friendly but not chatty is a plus as well. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thanks Joe!
