Eight of Swords Tattoo

Talented and friendly artists; extremely clean and awesomely-decorated shop. What more could someone ask for in a tattoo place?

I had my first session with Zoe about a week ago, to have a tattoo put on the top my foot (one more session to go next month, plus I'm eventually going to have Zoe ink the other foot to match). During my initial consultation, Zoe was very receptive to any ideas/thoughts/worries that I had about the tattoo I wanted, allowing me to send her pictures for inspiration. Based on what I had told her, she custom designed the most gorgeous tattoo; it was even better than what I had imagined!

I was initially a bit nervous about getting the whole top of my foot tattooed (I'd heard from friends that it was the most painful spot), but Zoe helped me through it, telling me that we could take breaks if it hurt too much, or if I needed to stretch (neither happened, so she was able to outline the tattoo straight through). She was extremely fun and easy to talk to, which kept my mind off of any pain that I had.
When she was finished, I was absolutely stunned by her work. I still can't get over how intricate and dainty some of the lines are! I've been raving about her work, and recommending her to people ever since.

After having such a great first experience at Eight of Swords, I'm really looking forward to going back to have my tattooed finished, as well as have Zoe work on my next tattoo!

I started a Yelp account just so I could give this tattoo shop five stars. The shop is clean and inviting, and everyone that works there is kind, non-intimidating, and professional. I got a large piece from Dave and could not be happier. He was incredibly attentive, thorough, and super knowledgeable. The tattoo turned out beautifully and for the quality of the work, the price is totally reasonable. The whole experience was wonderful and I could not recommend them more highly!

In a setting that is warm, clean, relaxing, and offers the opposite of the usual intimidating experience when you first walk into a new shop for the first time (there's even gallery style art hanging on the walls!!), I had the most amazing experience getting tattooed by Betty Rose.
Betty was so easy to talk to and was willing to listen to my ideas for a new tattoo, while also offering me guidance on things like color and placement to really make sure it was something to be proud of.
During the tattoo she made every effort to make sure I was as comfortable as I could be and checked in periodically throughout. (She also has a much lighter touch than some other artists I've seen, and uses a specialty machine that makes very little noise-- which I found made it much easier for me to relax while she was working).

I really can't say enough good things about this experience-- and the finished product?? I am SO happy with my beautiful new art and I've already gotten more compliments on it than I can count. Betty is a phenomenal artist and tattooer and I will be back for more!
