Mantis Tattoo

I love Mantis, I doubt I’ll get tattooed anywhere else again. Very clean, professional, warm and friendly but, most importantly, very talented.
They really listen to you and patiently work with you to give you the best tattoo which meets your needs/​expectations. They don’t intimidate or ignore clients but will give you honest advice in a courteous way and work to find a solution you’ll be happy with.
I always go to Melanie. She does great portraits and gorgeous flowers. Her use of color is outstanding. She has a light touch and her work always heals well and beautifully.
I’ve seen Karlis work firsthand. He’s fast and also amazing with his use of color. Both are perfectionists who will work to make sure you have the best tattoo for what you want.
The price is more than fair, the only downside is the long wait, you will have that with any good artist. It’s worth the wait to make sure your permanent art is as good as it can be.

I got my first facial piercing here a few months ago. Coyote, the piercer, was such an awesome guy. He was extremely cleanly and very professional. Now, I would never go to anyone else.

I’ve never had a tattoo done here, but this is where I got my nose pierced. It was a very clean place and the piercer was very professional and talkative. He did a very good job on my piercing (never hurt, never got infected, etc). I would definitely return!

I got my first tattoo here last week. It was just a simple set of Roman Numerals on my back, pretty small too. My guy was awesome though. He totally reassured me the whole time and the whole thing took maybe 15 minutes and didn’t hurt one bit! I’m addicted now!
