Talisman Tattoos by Chow & Company

My guy Ian Miller is really professional and quick. Does amazing work and the studio is immaculately clean. This is a professional place run by professionals who know what they’re doing. Great price. Did an amazing job on a cover up full sleeve.

I came here a few years back… worse experience ever.
1)It took MONTHS like maybe four to even get a consult which I was like whatever he must be really good then if he’s in such high demand ?
2) It was extremely expensive
3) the guy was a total jerk to me. This was going to be my first tattoo and I wanted something small to start off with. the guy wouldn’t listen he kept insisting on a bigger size and on top of that there was certain things I wanted to tweak that I didn’t like in his sketch and the guy totally flipped out on me going on about how he’s an artist not some puppet??? Uh ok? Whose the one wearing this tattoo forever??? I’m pretty sure I should get the final say on what goes on me? You would think right? I ended up not getting my tattoo there and going somewhere else I will never recommend this place.

Rob Is currently working on a back piece that he designed for me. It is absolutely custom and beautiful! I have had previous tattoos by other artists. I had him look at the tattoos I have and he let me know why my skin seemed to absorb the ink creating a blotched look in the detail areas. He explained they tattooed to deep into my skin and in one there is scarring.
While tattooing the design he did for me I practically fell asleep. My lines are clean, I had basically no swelling, and I am on day 6 with minimal scabbing. My tattoo is very detailed and he has my sessions spaced to allow for healing and reduce risk to my skin. I will never go to any one else for a tattoo due to his Professionalism, Creativity, and gentleness with a tattoo needle.
I have heard of Talisman Tattoos for the last 13 years, I should never have gone anywhere else. There is a wait list, but it will be with it, This is art that will be with you the rest of your life :)

I have been going here for my tattoos a few years now. Rob has been working on a sleeve I’m getting and his work is fabulous I couldn’t ask for better. He has taken my photos and just run with them and come up with what I think is a perfect piece for me! I also want to Thank all the guys at the shop for being great and always making me feel comfortable and welcome every time I come in!

Well I had Ian miller and at first he was cool but Well personally I’m not going back to him he knows me already and when I told him I only had 50 dollars at the moment for a deposit and wanted to schedule an appointment and that I’d give him the other 50 when I got payed he wouldn’t do it and I had to wait 3 months for my tat and he was stupid enough to say he forgot about it and cancelled and after that I bugged him for 2 weeks till he got ahold of me i texted called and messaged him on Facebook every day until he probably got annoyed and responded and he charged me 300 dollars for the outline of my tat which he didn’t even finish so it looks kinda dumb and for the follow up appointment I told him a week in advance I didn’t have enough money to go in for the next session hoping he would hook me up for lagging so much and not even finishing so overall he’s pretty sketchy and I don’t know about that guy just like every other sketchy or irresponsible tattooer in my view anyone who’s professional wouldn’t do that to someone who brings in clients very disappointed

I got my first and only (so far) tattoo done here, by Rob and I couldn’t be happier.
I sat in and watched him tattoo a friend a few times and I knew I could trust another artist with my skin.
Every artist in this shop is super talented and all of the art on the walls and on other peoples skin really proves it.
Prices are good, $ 100-​$ 150 an hour and in that hour you can get anything you want.
Definitely coming back for more ink!

I’ve gotten 2 huge pieces by people on this crew. Great job. This place is followed in magazines.

Ian is my guy! He’s working on my half sleeve at the moment and I’m already thinking of my other arm and the magic he’ll put on it. He’s super energetic, totally positive, and his work is amazing!!! My boyfriend has his sleeve done by Chow and its dope! The shop is clean, the guys are great, and the work is phenomenal. I highly recommend Talisman for your next tattoo.

I’d give this zero stars if I could. I have a tattoo that I wanted freshened up, not covered, along with some additional work. He wouldn’t even talk to me. What an ass. He could of at least consulted and given advise. I’ve been going to the shows and talking to several artist, and all of them have given some advise.
Maybe he does good work, but I’ll never go here again. I’ll take a drive to the Bay Area.

The art that comes out of this place is a cut above the rest. I went to Chow with all these crazy ideas he took them and came up with pieces that were better than i could have imagined. some really great guys

Pretty much the best ever!!! Chow is fricking amazing!!!

my husband was tattooed by Chow. His leg is fully covered from the knee to the ankle. He spent many hours with Chow. The work is unique and colorful.
You will never get an ‘off the wall’ tattoo from him. His art comes from his heart. No pun intended.

I haven’t been there I’m years but I had 2 tats done there. Both were very well done and a great price. If I get another I’d certainly start looking there.
