Dave’s Tattoos & Body Piercing

Wanted a tat that reflected my love for my daughter. I don’t think anyone could have done it any better I highly recommend Dave’s tattoos. I origanily wanted a lebonheur heart with her name in it but when he drew this out and showed it to me I had to have it. I have to say its my best tat yet and I’ve got several of them. Great atmosphere and great attitude. These folks are excellent artists and true professionals. THANKS EDDIE

I recently came here with my friend to keep her company while she got a cover-​up tattoo. It may not seem like a «trendy» or «popular» place where young adults or college kids may go.
However, the service there was exceptional! It’s a hole-​in-​the-​wall tattoo shop off Madison near downtown. The artists there have years of experience and a depth to their skill that I had not seen before. The man with the long hair sketched the anticipated tattoo FREEHAND.
To back track… We had previously gone in to Trilogy, and the artist there raved about how a solid black mannequin would cover up the old tattoo. OF COURSE a solid black image can cover up ANY tattoo.
At this place however, we explained that she wanted her tattoo «Believe» to be covered up with a mannequin. And I suggested that a damask or paisley print would have to be a design on the mannequin to add/​skew lines from the font of «Believe.»
As you can see, it came our GREAT! And it looks so much better than a black blob would’ve looked!
Not to mention, the three men working there were very nice. They may look a little rough, but looks are deceiving. They were watching Family Feud, Jeopardy, and other GSN shows while we were there. Haha!

Eddie did a valkyrie wing on my forearm.
Great work, not yo typical shop like people are use to these days. Just straight forward and good pricing.

One of the cheapest if not THE cheapest around. But dont let that fool you. These guys are professionals. I checked out a popular spot before I was told of this place. I checked out Trilogy. Trilogy wanted 50 dollars to draw up my tattoo and if I didn’t like the artist drawing than I had lost my 50 bucks because it went to the artist for him «working» on the drawing. At Daves I had no problem with my artist drawing up the tattoo a couple of times and editing the the drawing. Just goes to show a little bit of good customer relations goes a long way. Plus I paid about 2 hundred or so dollars less at daves. Check em out! The attention do detail on my tattoo was immaculate.
