Bamboo Tattoo Studio

Best tattoo shop! My sister mom and I got our tarts there could not be more happy Maddalena did mine and my sisters tattoos they are both done so beautifully! Maddalena is a great artist and is super sweet and doesn’t milk the pain of your tattoo she tells you straight up that it will hurt which is great so you know what to expect! The tattoos are a little bit expensive but so worth it! Todd the owner really takes his time to help you figure out your tattoo and what will work best for you! Overall this is a great clean tattoo shop and I will be getting my next tatt there!!!

I have several tats from many places, and I have to say that Bamboo was the most unprofessional place I’ve been to. I read a couple of the 1 and 2 star reviews and my story is similar. The owner Todd needs to get his act together. I requested a piece and paid my deposit, and when I finally came after a long wait my «custom piece» was half finished and literally had a picture cut out of a magazine rather than drawn up. He just said don’t worry it’s just to give you an idea. ARE YOU SERIOUS? then he let me know it would be about $ 1200 as it was such a big piece and it would look exactly like the design. I thought what design??? half was glued on.
I let him know it wouldn’t work, and left ASAP.
I can ramble on and on, but remember when it comes to putting on pieces on your body for life, you deserve the best possible service and honesty.
I could name several other places I’ve been that have this but you should do your own research, but beware of this place.

Came to get my tatt at the shop about 4 months ago, everyone was nice and friendly even watched the world cup with them while waiting for Pepsi to draw my sak yant. On the day of my consultation, I was told that I will be charged 70per hour for bamboo. I accepted and they asked for $ 100 deposit, so I gave it to them. Now forward back to my story on the day getting my sak yant. So pepsi was doing my tatt, I took no breaks whatsoever. Then I believe todd the manager came downstairs to check on Pepsi and stalled him for 10mins from doing my sak yant, in my head I was pretty pissed off. Then when my tatt was about 90% finished, he came down the 2^nd time and told Pepsi to hurry up because he has a next client. He finished my sak yant in 3 hours. It looked good and all till I actually took a good look at it (tell you about it later). So I gave my respects to Pepsi and went up stairs to pay. Todd the manager came in asked me «how much I agreed to on my consultation. I told him 70per hour, and he was like nope its 75 per hour. I’m like w. e sure. Then Todd was like,“you got this big peice for a steal, I can’t charge you for that amount.”($ 225 before tax).“I’m going to do it for $ 350 before tax.» This Todd started to really piss me off. Honestly I didn’t give a F, I was pissed and happy at the same time cuz I got my first tattoo. So the tatt came to $ 400.49 with tax and aftercare. ok so I gave him 300.49. Then Todd again was like «You still owe me $ 100 more. I said to him «I deposited $ 100 on my consultation. He denied it wasn’t in the system again and again till I showed him my reciept. Todd was like «ohh we got the wrong John». What a d1ck… So about my tattoo, on the left side you can EASILY tell it was RUSHED. I would rate it 7 out of 10. I like Pepsi and all but he shouldn’t be working for Todd. Ashame cuz I wanted to get more sak yants done, guess I gotta find someone eles. 2* Stars for bamboo tattt studio.

Bamboo is a great studio. Todd (manager I think) runs a tight ship and always returns phone calls and they are extremely accessible via email as well during the design process. I am getting a back piece done by Tye. He is very young, but a prodigy and his art and technique are very professional way beyond his years. The tattoo already looks very nice even though there is a bit more to go. The new studio is large and comfortable making for a great experience, so I am looking forward to going back in a few weeks to finish up!

Please people don’t be fooled, I went in here looking to restore and add to a tattoo on my shoulder. The owner of the shop convinced me there was nothing they could do with it and nothing they can add to make it work into a new sleeve idea. They then suggested a cover up would be best option and it would all work out much better. Now I’m stuck with a massive black blob on my shoulder and half of the rest of the sleeve and none of it makes sense. It’s horribly thought out and poor design. I put FAR to much trust in this shop and I got burned for it, and not to mention the amount of money I’m now going to have to dish of for laser treatments to hopefully one day start this again along with the emotional distress of this all. PLEASE THINK BEFORE YOU INK AT THIS SHOP.

Got my second tattoo here with Pepsi, once you go bamboo it’s hard to go back to ye olde regular forms of tattooing. It took a little longer no doubt, but the colour and the healing process were so much faster I could justify it being a little more expensive than I anticipated. I’ll be going back for sure for maybe my third or fourth! You can’t go wrong with these guys but make sure to book ahead! They’re booked solid!

I had the best experience ever! I did go with the traditional bamboo style of tattooing and I am telling you the result was more than I had expected. To boot it was my first tattoo. This guy named PEPSI did mine and was this guy every awesome. I was in and out within two hrs. I have very little if no scabbing and I just had some bruising because it was on my inner bicep so it really hurt. I will be back and love that place. The owner Tedd is a really nice guy and all the artists are very friendly
