  • "I've been getting tattooed here since around 2001 specially by Charlie and haven't complained about anything and I don't think I will. Come to get some ink done pain passes fast but tattoos last forever worth it. I have about 40 tattoos i don't have all the art on my phone."

  • "I got a tattoo for Mother's Day. I had an idea fo the elements I wanted but didn't have a solid design yet. Russ worked quickly, patiently and with much skill to help me get my tattoo just right. I didn't feel pressured. He was patient and collaborative. We landed on a tattoo design that I loved. Once in the room he created a relaxing atmosphere with music and good conversation. He's got great energy and I felt at ease with him. The tattoo came out beautifully. I can't stop looking at it. Thanks Russ!!!"

  • "I walked in to a cozy modern shop and met the sweetest man who was so eager to help. He was genuinely interested in my sketches and very encouraging. And then I met Brave, the piercer. Yes, she does look like the coolest version of Merida ever! She was educated classy and went above and beyond to help my crooked nostril piercing. I am recommending them to everyone regardless of whether or not they discuss tattoos! Very wonderful, graceful, and kind."

  • Top Notch Tattoo will forever hold a special place in my heart. Charlie is not just an incredible artist—he is compassionate, patient, and truly understands the meaning behind the art he creates. My younger sister and I came to Charlie with an idea for our baby sister’s last tattoo—something she had personally asked him about before she passed. Charlie listened to our story, honored her vision, and transformed our idea into a beautiful memorial that now lives on our skin forever. These matching tattoos are more than art—they are healing, remembrance, and connection. Charlie treated our loss with dignity and gave us something we will carry with us always. Thank you for honoring our baby sister in the most beautiful way possible.

  • I got a tat done by Prince. Super awesome. He let me know what he was going to do before doing anything. Really patient with me changing sizes on the tat. Tatted me really fast. Inexpensive. I got a tat in a sensitive spot on my arm and he made it feel like nothing. Amazing experience. All the other artists and piercers were super cool to talk with. I'm definitely going back for more tats.

  • One of the best tattoos shops in the area very clean and friendly staff

  • I went here on my lunch break for a piercing and Charlie got me in and out. My nose was a tad tough I guess because she had to stick me twice. Little to no pain during and after. Just not a fan of the jewelry. The cork screw thingy shows like I have a boogie in my nose..
