TATTOO SHOPS
NEAR ME IN State College, Pennsylvania

“I went into the shop to recieve my tat from Adam that I had won for the Hurricane relief raffle they had held in the spring for a free half day tattoo and recieved more then just a tattoo cover up that made me whole once again! I now have considered my self part of his work family. Adam is not just an amazing tattoo artist but is so very kind,compassionate and caring in the amazing art that he creates and the friendship makes you feel as if you are family.. I want to thank you from the bottom of my whole heart Adam and hope to have many more opportunities for myself to be able to create more beautiful artwork done by you💜”

“The front end staff are amazing and extremely friendly. I felt welcome the second I contacted them for a memorial tattoo for my late uncle. I own a 1967 Plymouth Fury III and it was a vehicle my uncle and I worked on together and it meant a lot to us. After he passed, I was able to aquire it, but vehicles may not last forever, but a tattoo will be stuck on me for life! Dave was my original artist who I had my consultation with, he was super friendly and made sure all my concerns and wants were heard and taken into consideration. Went it came time for the tattoo, he actually asked if he could have me be tattooed by Monti, as he wanted to make sure the memorial tattoo was going to be perfect, and thought Monti would be better suited for the style I was looking for. Monti is an exceptional arist and very funny. We had a quick consultation the day of my appointment to make the final touches to the tattoo. Monti is extremely personal and treated this tattoo as if it meant everything to him, as mcuh as it did to me. The outcome was far more than what I expected. The attention to detail and making sure all the aspects of the car were in the tattoo, really made it look exceptional when it was done. I am more than impressed with the tattoo and it has become a conversational piece minutes after having it done. My family gushed over how amazing and accurate it looks, and I’m glad I get to keep my uncles memory and stories as a part of me. All the artists are extremely friendly and fun to hang out with. This was my first big tattoo and everyone made it feel less intimidating. Dave and Monti were amazing and I am very excited that Monti is now a permanent artist at Ikonic Ink and I know I will be back in for more ink soon!”
