Initially I wanted a tattoo I saw online, the artist said she could do and she changed it entirely, removing a lot of shading and detail. I then changed it, and asked for a simple, cute ghost and the artist insisted on going thicker for the sake of it “being original” and their style. Ended up with a super bold tattoo. It ended up being so thick and bold. The opposite of what I asked for. Sad because I’ve had 2 goo experience here with previous artists. She also made me pay before ? Never happened here before.

Jason was the artist who did my first tattoo. I was a little bit nervous but we talked the whole time. I love my tattoo and probably get another one soon.

Tantrum Tattoo is one of the best places to get tattooed! I've known the owner, George Archer for many, many years and I have a great deal of work from him. He always does great tattoos! He is an amazing artist who is very knowledgeable with many years of experience in the tattoo industry. I would recommend him and his shop to anyone looking to get a high quality tattoo in a very clean and professional environment.

Tremendous group of artists at this shop, I’ve been a long time customer of George, he has been in the industry for over 20 years. I highly recommend coming here for getting a tattoo, whatever design or art style you’re looking for. They are also reasonably priced.

Both my wife and I received tattoos here from a gentleman named Nick. Nick provided excellent service and did a fantastic job helping each of us realize the ideas we had. The shop is located down a alley which makes it a little hard to spot but it's not to bad. The shop itself is really cool. The work portfolios of the other artists looked excellent as well.
