Artistic Encounter

Got a couple from an "apprentice" up there. Great people, amazing atmosphere, stellar art.

Out of the many tattoo shops I’ve been to, I can easily say this has been my favorite experience. ChinoBlack brought my idea to life. From the design process, actual appointment, and the shop vibe, everything was a 10/10. All of the artists were super laidback and made you feel like you were just catching up with old friends. They often feature specials on their social media, so give them a follow to check out more of their work and deals. Highly recommend and will definitely keep coming back for more!

My guy @chinoblacktattoos took care of me 🔥🔥 gotta ask for him if you do a walk in!! Great humor and awesome hospitality!!!💯

Update: Came back now a year later for some rays. As per the usual this shop delivers in every way. Mason is a mad man and congrats on being a dad!! This is the spot I got my first tattoo about 8 years ago and now my most recent one pictured. Mason did an incredible job with it and it’s by far my favorite so far. Great people and incredible talents. Bring the idea to them and they’ll hook you up with the right person. 10/10 recommend 🙌

Been going to Artistic Encounter since 2018. They took my ink virginity honestly 😂 each location has treated me and my friends well including Vixens. Gotten multiple pieces and piercings from these talented artists and have brought many friends here. Always satisfied never disappointed. I’ve got plenty of ink ideas for next time now to just save that ink money.

Dany has amazing vibes! She is so much fun and makes you feel comfortable and right at home. I love my tattoo. Thank you Dany 🤩

This is going to be long so hang tight. Growing up I've always loved art and tattoos and when it came time for it it took me a while to decide what to put on my arm and what do I wanna see when I wake up every morning. Gabriel has done 2 of my tattoos (my wrist and my forearm) and I cannot get over them, he's done an amazing job with communication, going into detail, and today he messaged me to check on the healing of the tattoo. What makes a person amazing is the caring and compassion they show and that's what I can say about my man Gabriel. He will now and forever be the only one to put ink on any future designs. (There's picture of before the healing and after the healing. Just look at how amazing it healed.) UPDATE: Gabriel has done an incredible job again. This time he did this beautiful virgin mary peice, only had if for 3 says and everyone just stops in awe for it. Thank you Gabriel! Can't wait to see how this heals and for future tattoos!

The Cubanbombshell is fi 🔥 go see Alex NOW!!!

Honestly the best customer service I have ever received in a tattoo place, everyone was friendly and approachable, and prices are actually good. However the guy that did my tattoo was sloppy in every way possible and at the end my tattoo didn't look like the model I wanted. Simply a sloppy tattoo artist, apparently experienced but wow, he was either intoxicated or something else. Highly recommended for friendliness, but if you want a tattoo that is actually well done, avoid this place.

The entire staff is always friendly and welcoming! I Went for a piercing, as well new jewelry! Wesey is my piercer, she has the best pieces to choose from, always professional, and understands the assignment each and every time! I have been "stabbed by Wesey" 3 times now, and replaced all my jewelry. Would highly recommend this place.
