What Customers Say

4.9 out of 5 from 212 reviews.

Had a great experience here! Me and a buddy up here for work decided we needed a tattoo. Dominic did mine. Super friendly and super professional. I didnt get a huge tattoo or anything but he was super fast. If/when I return to this area I will be booking another appointment with him. I recommend this place 100%. Everyone else took two days to return a call.

Just want to give a huge shout out to InkTellectual Tattoos and there amazing staff. Special shout out to their piercer SPIDER! That dude is freaking AMAZING! Offering EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE! I went to spider with a issue with my face dermal iv had for about 18 yrs lol, not only did he see me immediately he also made the accommodations to address and attend to my piercing dispite not being the original piercer. He really went above and beyond. Very strategic and mindful while fixing my piercing. I really have to give him his flowers he is ALWAYS LOOKING OUT, and PROVIDING THE BEST SERVICE. He cares and is knowledgeable on top of being a fantastic piercer. Spider has done all of my family and we will continue returning. If you’re looking for a great tattoo shop with amazing staff and a Fantastic piercer this is the place! WAY TO GO SPIDER, your the MAN!

My tat artist, Brandi did a killer job on all of my tattoos! My all time favorite tattoo is the phoenix! Going to Ikntellectual tatto shop has been the best experience for myself as I hadn't gotten a tattoo before coming here. Brandi was sweet as she walked and talked to me about what the pain level was gonna be like. Having both of us talk and listening to ideas of the tattoos helped a lot! Check out Ikntellectual tattoo shop and see for yourself!
