Just got my 5th tattoo at steel and ink this evening. I have loved every single one. The atmosphere is fun and the artists are kind and welcoming. Aleenah brought my favorite movie to life with this Toothless tattoo and I couldn't be happier. Truly beautiful work.

I took my six-year-old daughter to get her ears pierced. She’s been waiting two years for thisand was so excited. Steel and ink was amazing, they matched her energy, they gave her plenty of times to back out if she wanted to. They told her everything they were gonna do before they did it and make sure she was OK with it. She was so comfortable- she was smiling through the whole process. Would totally go back. Just wanted to say thank you to them for making my daughter’s experience so amazing.

Got a half sleeve done with koi fish and it looks clean as hell. The artist, Aleenah, took care of me and was super nice and did an excellent job. Can't wait to go back and get it colored. Phenomenal service.

I was tattooed by Max to cover up a 10-year-old tattoo. To say Max is a miracle worker is a complete understatement! The entire shop has such a warm and welcoming vibe, and the artists are phenomenal. It's such a well-run shop, and the artists truly care about their work. Plus, the artists collaborate with each other, which means you know that you're getting the best there is. I look forward to working with Max in the future and am glad to have found 'my' shop.

This is one of the most friendliest and professional tattoo shops I've ever been to. You can feel comfortable with taking your younger kids here to get pierced.

Our girls have wanted to get their ears pierced for a long time. We wanted to take them to the best most hygienic place possible.
After alot of research we decided on Steel and Ink.
From the initial phone call, to getting their ears and mine pierced it was a great experience. The studio is very clean and everyone was very professional.
Fino was amazing!! He explained everything to our girls from beginning to end. The cleanliness and sterile practices were exactly why we choose Steel and Ink. Thank you Steel and Ink for an excellent experience.

The staff at Steel & Ink are fantastic and I have never had a bad experience there. My artist, Sofi, knocked it out of the park and gave me everything I asked for with perfection. I could not be happier!

This was such a great experience! My tattoo artist Dayron is fantastic. I cannot stress enough what a wonderful job he did, and how many compliments I get on his piece. I also got a piercing which was done very well. The piercer educated me on what was being done and was super informative. Everyone on the staff is so friendly and helpful, and it's a clean environment. Would highly recommend.

Great shop with some high class artists! I’ve been getting tattooed for 2 decades now and this has to be one of my favorite shops! Tyler did such a great job on my forearm tat I immediately scheduled him for a chest piece 2 weeks later! The energy is amazing and I will be back to get more work done in the future!

I got my first tattoo here with Aleenah and she was fantastic! She so kindly helped me get the right design and placement for my tattoo and was very accommodating, and then chatted with me while she worked which made me feel very comfortable. The studio was very clean and everyone was super nice.
I arrived before they opened on a weekday, waited in line, and had a short wait time. Highly recommend! They give you great tips for aftercare as well.
