Wizards One

Reading the reviews on here is very interesting, as I’ve had nothing but good experiences here since I received my first tattoo at the old location over 15 years ago (and still hasn’t needed a touch up). This place takes pride in its cleanliness and work. When I went for my third tattoo at a shop in Philadelphia (which I do NOT recommend) I returned here. Luke was my artist and a friend was so impressed with him, she got some color shading on a previous tattoo she received elsewhere (same place in Philly). I have plans to return in the fall to have him «disguise» another tattoo I have. I also plan to get a piercing… I hear Rachel is phenomenal. In summary, this place is clean and comfortable, professional and they do excellent work, while treating you like a nice person… all for very reasonable prices! To the one girl who wrote a bad review recently, my friend and I are white and had to pay upfront. I didn’t have a problem with it and understand that any business who wants to protect themselves from «shady» characters absolutely has the right to do so.

I have gotten a few tattoos from Wizards One. The shop looks amazing and the staff is always friendly and helpful. The tattoos they did are hands down the best that I have, wish I had started coming here sooner, thankfully they can cover my old ones. My wife got her septum pierced by Rachel and she was fantastic! So friendly. If you want a quality tattoo from real artists in a clean professional shop look no further. Can’t wait to get my next one!

This was the only tattoo shop that made my fiancé, his 2 brothers and I pay first, which is very disrespectful and in my opinion was completely racist… My fiancé and his brothers are black and I’m white… There was an older white couple who was in there when we arrived, and they paid after the work was done, yet we had to pay before hand. The artist that did my fiancé’s angel wing on his neck, shaved the back of my fiancé’s neck and took off more hair than necessary which caused my fiancé to break out. It was funny though because I (who am white) was treated with more respect than the men I was with. The experience was the worst I’ve ever had, my fiancé agrees and he has been in 10+ shops within an hour radius and has 30+ tattoos. Also, my fiancés brother and I had both gotten a soda there, which each cost $ 1, they kepty fiancés brother’s dollar yet gave back mine… Hmmm… I found this while doing some research. «Normally, in respectable tattoo shops, payment is due when services are rendered. This means you pay when the session is finished, not before it has begun. Large tattoos are paid for session by session, so you only pay for the work that was performed that day. (any shop that demands payment before the tattoo is done is probably accustomed to working with a shady clientele who are often trying to run out without paying. This may mean that you are in a shady tattoo shop. If you are shady yourself, or are okay with getting tattooed in a shady shop, stay put and carry on. If you don’t want to be tattooed in a shady shop, you might want to leave at this point).» I would NOT recommend going to this shop

I feel bad writing this review because I’ve been a repeating customer at Wizards One in Stowe for years. I’ve been there for all of my tattoos and piercings. Tim and Rachel are totally awesome and are masters at their craft, but I left the shop today feeling extremely disappointed and I don’t think I’ll be returning. The first face you encounter upon entering is less than welcoming. Their frontman, Hung was extremely rude. I walked in with a smile, as I greet everyone. I politely said «Hi, how are you doing?» And was returned with a very uncomfortable rude stare like I was bothering him. He was short and very rude to me as if the question I had asked about purchasing jewelry was a total inconvenience to him. I’m not sure why Wizards even hired him because he is not the kind of person I would want greeting my customers. I was very let down by the experience and left feeling like a bother rather than the loyal customer that I once was. To everyone else at that shop – you guys rule and have always been super nice and helpful. To Hung – If you’re going to be working in customer service, learn some common polite social skills.

BEST tattoo place in the area. Professional and talented staff. Clean and creative. They have done 2 large pieces for me and I get compliments on them all the time!

Another visit, and another awesome tattoo from John Howie! He took my idea and again blew away my expectations. I couldn’t be happier with the tattoo, the line work and colors are great and the price was more than reasonable which was an added bonus.
The shop continues to be a clean, friendly, and organized place as well. I highly recommend stopping in to check the place out. Thanks again John!

John Howie did the most amazing artwork on my leg! I can’t walk down the street without someone telling me how amazing it is and asking me where I got it done. I described to him in an email what I was looking for, sent over a few pics– and he surpassed my expectations without a doubt! I cannot wait to get my next piece from him!

John Howie is a stellar artist. After seeing my best friend Bethie’s baby possum and raccoon tattoos, I knew he was the artist I wanted. He worked with me on two painstaking original pieces that I had agonized over for about 2 years each. Both came out better than I had pictured in my head and were exactly what I wanted. John is really good with animal tattoos, one of mine is a giant, badass, gray wash eagle. It’s effing rad. oh and on a side note, I was a total wuss and started to faint about 10 minutes into my first tattoo and John was totally nice to me. I imagine that other tattoo guys would not be so patient in that situation.

John Howie is an true artist. He is also really outgoing!

john howie has a gentle girl-​like touch; being tattooed by him is like getting tickled by a midget riding a unicorn.

Wizards One in Stowe, Pa is home to talented and well-​rounded artists, lead by internationally known Joe Johns. The place is clean and ran very professionally. It’s not just tattooing, it’s art.
