i’ve gotten a few tattoos here all done by Antonio, and i have nothing but good things to say. he’s an amazing artist, truly listens to your ideas and brings your vision to life and takes his time to make sure it’s executed with precision and perfection. incredible fine line work. supremely professional, comfortable environment, and everyone else who works there seems very chill as well. also these were the least painful tattoos i’ve received. thank you Antonio & Dark Matter!!

Last summer I got three tattoos from Kelsey, and I couldn't love them more. She drew each design beautifully—improving the initial ideas I sent her way—and tattooed them with precision. She was efficient, kind, and kept a super clean space. My spider is my most-complimented tattoo (often by other artists, who are impressed with the linework). I'd trust her with anything!

I got this tattoo done by Damian today and it was a great experience apart from the awesome tattoo. Definitely will be back to work with Damian again. Very easy to work with and did exactly what I pictured!

Antonio gave me one of the most comfortable tattooing experiences and I genuinely cannot recommend him enough. He is very kind and easygoing, his room is very clean, and best of all, incredibly precise and gentle handed!! I loved hearing all of his tattooing experiences and he was happy to keep our conversation flowing while also giving me exactly what I asked for and more. Can't wait to go back for my second piece with him :)

KAYLIN IS AMAZING!!! 10/10 recommend her for your tattoo! specifically fine line. I got my first tattoo yesterday with Kaylin and I couldn't have more good things to say. She's amazing at her work and she's an amazing person as well! She made sure I was comfortable the whole time and kept me relaxed with conversation. I will be going back for further tattoos. Thank you Kaylin for an amazing first tattoo ❤️

I've had the pleasure of getting several tattoos from Marc Nelson at Dark Matter Tattoo Gallery over the years, and every experience has been exceptional. Marc is fantastic at collaborating on design ideas, always listening and working with me to bring my vision to life. The tattoos always turn out amazing. I couldn't be happier. The shop itself is super clean and has a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. All the artists there are not only talented but also super friendly and fun to be around. Every time I have been to the shop it has been great! Thank you, Marc, for your amazing work and for always providing such a great experience. I'm looking forward to many more tattoos in the future!
