Anthem Tattoo Parlor

Got a tattoo here a few months ago; a night/day tree done by Mike Salay.

The shop is clean and comfortable; as soon as I entered the first time, I was treated very politely and in a friendly manner. The front-of-the-house/apprentice, Rick went through my idea in detail and we discussed price and placement after which he recommended Mike to do my tattoo.

The tattooing experience was very comfortable and I ended up with a great piece of art. Would definitely recommend this place, ESPECIALLY if you want an American Traditional tattoo, this is what they're known for!

This is an easy review. Anthem simply rocks, there's no better place to go. Everyone there is talented, but most of my half sleeve done there was from Sleepy Dave. I gave him basic guidelines of what I wanted and just told him to make it look good. He did a damn good job. Also a very laid back, fun joint compared to some other shops I've been in.

Anthem is located on 6th Ave just south of University Ave. They are open at 1pm, and you should make an appointment ahead of time if you have a large or custom piece.

After hearing Dave's name around town when asking for artist recommendations, I decided to set up an appointment with him. 1.5 months later, I was in the seat getting my tattoo.

Dave was real nice and professional. The environment was fun. The price was great. But most importantly, Dave took time to make my tattoo as amazing as it is. He spent a long time on it just to make sure it was perfect. It was like watching a master paint using oils.

I'm definitely coming here next time I want to add...
