Nostalgic Ink

I absolutely love this tattoo shop. It’s super-​clean and staffed with talented artists eager to do custom work; lots of creativity here. I have been going to Nina exclusively for the past two years and I love her creative edge and gentle touch. All the artists are very friendly, which is not always the case at other shops. If you’re looking for a place to get your next tattoo, I highly recommend Nostalgic Ink!

Had a great time getting my Friday the 13^th tattoo. Gladys was amazing and fun to work with. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ will return.

I got my very first tattoo from Steven. He was very professional and I was very comfortable in the shop. I will defiantly return.

I got my second tattoo from Steven last Sunday and it has been healing GREAT! I mistakenly went somewhere else for a tattoo a few months back and will never do that again! I loved the vibe of the place and the bathroom made me CRACK UP! Definitely not a place to bring your kids, so leave them at home (or with a sitter) when you’re getting inked! If you want to go on a Sunday you would have to call for an appointment and its up to the individual artist at that point, but I’m sure they will work something out with you!

This is the most incredible shop with the most amazing artist they are true masters of their craft and do the most amazing body art. Robin Thrush is my artist he is a grandmaster of the art of tattoo.

The place has a nice atmosphere. We tried a couple tattoo places before this one, and they all seemed intimidating, like if you didn’t know exactly what you wanted they didn’t want to waste their time. Robbin was the only one working, and he listened to our ideas, he was personable, and made getting a tattoo less intimidating. I recommend this place to everyone. Whether you’re getting your first tattoo or your 50^th. I only wish we got more cards to pass out.

I’ve gone to a few places around SA. I honestly had not stayed with any one artist because I didn’t feel like I connected with them. I went to Nostalgic Ink because I had a pretty jacked up tattoo someone started on my back. For at least a year I didn’t wear anything that would show the tat because I was so embarrassed! I was too embarrassed to even show another tattoo artist to fix it. But, Nina came recommended so I went and met with her. I’ve gotten several more tattoos from her now in the last year and I love working with her! She understands the feminine side of how your tat should flow on your body. And yes, tattoos hurt but she has been the most gentle.
If you are a first timer– go here.
If you need a cover up– go here!
If you have a custom design… go here!
I’ve seen what the guys in the shop can do too and it’s all been great work! I’m just partial now :) Good people and good tats!

This is by far the best tat shop in SA. The artists are really cool and laid back, and really creative. I’ve gotten 3 tats done here by Nina, and I am constantly getting compliments on them. I will never go anywhere else.

I’ve had my whole sleeve done by the creative knowledge that makes up this shop. It took me three years to find a place I was comfortable with and don’t be mistaken this is no west side tat shop where you get gang tats, this is a true artistic venue full of varied and talented artists. Everyone here is laid back and easy to get along with, I walked in and each artist greeted me and made me feel comfortable. If you want common tats go somewhere else but if u want truly individualized art come here!
