Mike Sikes is AMAZING!

He's most definitely worth the wait... and I'm glad that I waited almost a year to get inked by him!  If you're going for color, you're in for a treat.  Even though I'm naturally tan, the color on my skin is VIBRANT!  (For those who wonder -- I have a chrysanthemum on my back in shades of red and orange)

He's extremely professional, flawlessly clean, and his work is AWESOME.  He's easygoing and has a warm personality -- so you'll definitely feel like you're in good hands.

I'm totally looking forward to getting additional work done by him!  He's THE BEST tattoo artist in this area!

would never ever get ink anywhere else.  ever.  never.

Apparently my first review was filtered out and I didn't even notice!
It was the only review I had ever written and the only reason I signed up for yelp! in the first place...but maybe that looked fishy to the filter or something?

Mike Sikes at Eyespeak Tattoo is an incredible artist!

I got my first tattoo from him in 1993 and I now have 6 pieces of his work.
He's meticulously clean, shows extreme attention to details and has a really unique style. Don't take that to mean he only draws in one style - because he can do anything from Traditional to Asian to incredibly lifelike flora and fauna.

He did 2 huge pinup girls for me, one on each thigh. One is all grey shading, no linework at all, it looks like a charcoal drawing. The other one is all color, traditional with a Sikes signature to it. He actually drew it up from my description with no visual reference. I also have some smaller pieces, which he took care of quickly and with a lot of patience - I am kind of a wuss about needles.

I now live in Austin, Texas, so it's hard for me to still get tattooed by Mike, but if I still lived in VA, I would have a lot more of his work covering my skin!

He has a lot of clients with HUGE back & chest pieces, sleeves and full legs. If you are looking for amazing, custom, one of a kind work that will be done in a professional, artistic manner - you should call Mike at Eyespeak.
