I absolutely love Red Octopus. I have two tattoos, both done here. Â The shop is clean and comfortable.
My first tattoo was done by Julie, she was incredible and really worked with me to make my tattoo perfect. Â She listened to everything I said, and made it perfectly dainty like I wanted. Â She took so much time in the little details, and everyone else in the shop was interested in the progress of my tattoo. Â
My second tattoo was designed by Duffy to start with, and then Dave finished the design. Â Dave did the tattoo, and he did it wonderfully! He was super friendly and kept telling me how good I was doing. Â Dave also did a beautiful job with the color and shading making the flowers in my tattoo to pop. Â
The overall atmosphere here is incredible. Â All the artists seem to have a good relationship and are enjoyable to be around. Â They joke with each other and all the customers. Â It's a wonderful place to go, and they do great work. Â I know it might be kind of out in the middle of nowhere, but it is completely worth the trip!
Wonderful work by every artist and a wonderful environment!
Red Octopus is quite a nice tattoo parlor. Â Very organized, clean, and eye-catching. Â It may not be in the best location but it's really a great shop. Â
I had a tattoo in mind for months and after much research finally contacted Duffy for a consultation. Â She was able to squeeze me in last minute the next week. Â Her drawing was stunning and she was very accommodating when it came to editing it to fit my exact desire. Â I left much of the design up to her as she is the artist and I am far from, and I could not be happier with what she did. Â The ombre effect in the coloring is stunning. Â
The parlor is very clean and friendly. Â The chairs are comfortable enough for the normal 1-3 hour sittings and the other artists, when not busy with their own work, walked around and were very chatting with each others clients. Â It was nice to break up the monotony of a 2.5hr session. Â I will be returning and highly recommend Duffy!
Sometimes this place gets a bad rep because its been the only place around for a long time but in a semi rural area. I've had a few tattoos and piercings done here and have been very satisfied. Everything is done out in the open so you can others getting worked on and see them sterilizing and opening all equipment. No complaints here!
