Melissa the piercer is so sweet. She took her time talking to my daughter about the ear piercings, went over after care, had snacks! I ended up getting a piercing while we were there. Very affordable

On 4/29/2026 Whitney Badillo had this to say:
I had an amazing experience with Drew as my tattoo artist. I came in with a vision, and he absolutely nailed it on the very first design he showed me. I am honestly obsessed with how my tattoo turned out. It is easily my favorite out of all the ones I have gotten. The level of detail he put into the piece is incredible. His work with color and shading really brings everything to life, and his linework is super clean and precise. You can tell he takes a lot of pride in what he does. On top of that, his pricing was very affordable and completely worth every penny. Drew himself is also just a great person. He is super chill, down to earth, and makes you feel comfortable right away. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for high quality work and a great overall experience.

On 4/18/2026 Pat Mullins had this to say:
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I couldn’t be happier with my entire experience with Ironhide Tattoo. I walked in with an idea of what I wanted and Mark brought it to life and absolutely exceeded my expectations. His knowledge and professionalism of his craft is second to none. His attention to detail made made my tattoo pop and something I will forever be thankful for. I sat through 7 sessions with Mark to complete my arm sleeve. Throughout those sessions he made the experience something I will never forget with great conversation each time. The shop is very clean and even smells clean when you walk in and the restrooms were always clean. I highly recommend Ironhide for anyone who is considering getting a tattoo.
