Nikki’s Tattoo Studio

Started going here in February 2014. I have 5 tattoos from here and had no problems with the first 4. Everything went down hill yesterday when I contacted them via email concerning the 5^th tattoo that I got in May of this year. It still looked really bruised around it, so I wanted to ask if this was an ink reaction or something that could be fixed. Their first response simply stated they could see nothing wrong with the pic I sent them and it looked fine. I responded that something was definitely off about it. That is when I received the response that «this ends the tattoo relationship» and they wished me good luck on my future endeavors. I take that to mean they no longer want my business and I can take my concerns to someone else to fix. That is really sad, and not how you run a proper business. I suggest really doing your research so that you find the best possible tattoo artist, because this is permanent. I have no problems with the other tattoos, and give them 5 stars on the work. It drops to 2 stars yesterday for the negative attitude and nasty email response.

I love the work Nikki had done 2 big tattoos for me. Very pleased and felt very comfortable with Nikki.

My first tattoo with Nikki was in 2005. I already had work done by other artists, which was okay, but I wanted something bold, striking, and original. I’m in the fashion industry so I’m particular about my body art. After consulting with Nikki, she knew exactly what I was looking for and after a few drawings we started.
In the past 7 years, I’ve had 80+ hours of work done by Nikki, including both sleeves and a full back piece. She’s done cover-​up work and corrected tattoos from earlier artists. I’ve also had permanent eye-​liner done by her, which looks natural. Each and every experience as been first class. The studio is clean and professional. I’ve always got the appointment times and days that I want and nothing is too difficult or too much trouble. Tattoos are permanent and I haven’t regretted any of mine.
I’ve recommended Nikki and Stacey to a number of my friends and clients, all of them have been more than satisfied.
If you’re looking for the best, you should give Nikki and Stacey serious consideration.

I decided to get my first tattoo at Nikki’s because of the work i had seen on some one i know. I went in and inquired about the work i wanted. I did not speak to Nikki herself about this but two women who work out front, one of which is the second and only other artist working there. they said Nikki could do it and i put down the requested deposit. When i went in on my scheduled appointment i was nervous as exppected. Nikki called me back and put the stencil on my arm. I did not think to really look at it as i was nervous about how things would feel. i verified placement and trusted that she had taken the provided artwork and reporduced it. However, afterwards I noticed that she had interpreted my provided artwork and had redrawn it because she said the original was too choppy looking. after a couple of weeks i went back to talk to her. i had questions to ask. However she became offended and did not seem willing to listen to my question regarding the difference between the artwork i provided and her interpretation. The piece does not look like it was done by someone who claims over fifteen years experience. I left disappointed that she seemed unwilling to listen to me. I did not ant any confrontation and i did not speak any harsh words to her. But I could never reccomend anyone to this shop based on my experience. There are better shops around with much better artists. Really di some research before committing to something like a tattoo.
