Better Days Tattooing

Fantastic experience: Destiny did such a great job on my tattoo! I got super dizzy and lightheaded when I was getting my tattoo and she gave my candy and water and another tattoo artist gave me apple juice. Line work is very crisp and she got my tattoo done in an hour and a half. My tattoo healed very good and I will be coming back !

Fantastic experience: I got 3 Tattoos done by Dess in one session, the whole experience was wonderful. The vibes were good, everything was professional and clean. Dess is awesome, an incredible artist, tattoos are always top notch, and always at a more than reasonable price. I would highly recommend this shop and specifically Dess for your Tattoo needs.

Fantastic experience: I came to better days tattooing wanting to get my first tattoo by Cayla. Let’s just say she did not disappoint one bit. I went really big for my first tattoo but Cayla made sure I was comfortable the entire time and knew what was going on. I definitely will be coming back to see her!!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this place the vibes are immaculate and I mean look at this tattoo it’s the cutest thing ever seriously Cayla did so good! Can’t wait to come back and get more

Fantastic experience: I’m really happy with how this piece turned out. I’ve wanted to get this tattoo for so long and couldn't find an artist I trusted with doing it and I’m glad I trusted her to create this piece. I gave her two different references that I loved and she did such a good job blending them into one design and it flowed together nicely. It meant the most to me how patient she was with it. She took her time, paid attention to the details, and made sure everything looked right before moving forward. You can tell she genuinely cared about creating something I’d love long term. I’m so proud to wear this. She did an amazing job!

Fantastic experience: Better days is so welcoming, I personally go to the artist whose name is Cayla & both times I’ve been to her I’ve been more than satisfied! I recommend this place to the fullest. I only have 2 tattoos at this moment & I’m very happy with both & will be having so many more & they will be done in this shop!

Fantastic experience: Everyone is so sweet very clean happy environment. Love it here.

Fantastic experience: Cayla is the best she genuine and cares about what you want on your body she’s a 10/10 love her go see her she did this cover up! She’s a beast

Fantastic experience: I had such an amazing experience coming here! I went to Cayla and she was very kind and very patient for letting me take a couple breaks :) I’m absolutely in love. Definitely come see her!

Fantastic experience: Leo was awesome! Great artist and super fun to get tatted by! Definitely will be back!

Fantastic experience: squeezed me in before he was supposed to leave did an amazing piece on my forearm and was friendly and not awkward very nice place too the art everywhere was sick to look at definitely going in again sometime soon

Fantastic experience: Leo has done absolutely amazing on all three tats I’ve gotten by them. They are so so sweet and always make me feel welcome. I recommend Leo to anyone who is looking for a good tattoo experience. My first time going there I was very nervous with meeting a new tattoo artist and having to go through finding a new one, but right off the bat I felt appreciated and cared for. Leo is wonderful at talking with their clients, making sure they are comfortable and will take breaks if needed, they also have a little candy bag!! I will be going back for any tattoo I want !

Fantastic experience: Such a lovely shop and wonderful atmosphere as a whole. I felt welcomed by all of the staff and there was such good energy all around from the moment I walked in. Dess's line work and attention to detail is impeccable and I could not be happier with the end result. Fair pricing, easy communication and scheduling, and professionalism across the board. Thanks again, can't wait to make the drive back down again soon [:

Fantastic experience: Cassidy did my very first tattoo and still does all my tattoos she is the only person i let do all my tattoos!

Fantastic experience: Walked in nervous. But felt amazing once I got with my tattoo guy. Definitely was so personable and fun! He will from now on being doing all my work I want done. Made me feel safe and kept it real! I think he will definitely make my sleeve

Fantastic experience: I got a flash sale tattoo this past weekend for Friday the 13th from Dess and she did a wonderful job! she made the environment comfortable, answered any questions I had, and made the experience enjoyable. I’ll be going to her in the future!

Fantastic experience: Went to better days for a Friday the 13th tattoo Dess tatted me, I’m kinda quiet and have anxiety but she made me comfortable and truly provided a great experience. When I was unsure about placement or anything with a tattoo she provided her opinion and was just truly kind her work is amazing.

Fantastic experience: Got a flash sale from Dess on Friday the 13th. She was kind, did stellar work, was super easy to get ahold of and coordinated with before hand, and I really look forward to going back again to work with her. Super happy!

Fantastic experience: Had a great time during one of their flash sales! Artist were friendly and understanding as well. My goose had a 13 but I wanted it as just the goose and they were able to take it off. I appreciate that alot. My fiance with the hairy bear leg got the engine tattoo which looks pretty sick. Would recommend

Fantastic experience: Love the energy, the environment inside the shop, everyone’s seriousness about their profession as well as service. Everything adds up to the great experiences I’ve had every trip . Got a realism tattoo about 7 years ago by cj and it’s still rockin beautifully as well es every other piece I’ve gotten . Amazing work I absolutely recommend every artist I’ve seen in the shop 100% you’re doing a really good thing and a really good job with the space cj keep up the good work flow and spirit.

Fantastic experience: Go book with Destiny she is an amazing artist! I will add the finished piece after the next session.

Fantastic experience: I got 3 tattoos, and two new piercings and the piercing process was so smooth, barely felt anything. Drew is the piercer to go to. I went to Chelsea for tattoos, and she did amazing work and made me feel super comfortable.

Fantastic experience: Destiny was super cool, efficient and neat!! Was a vibe in the shop, everyone was friendly and genuinely care for the clientele. I will absolutely be back!

Fantastic experience: Just got my second tattoo at this shop, I just wanna give a special shout out to the new homie Dess and the whole team down here. 5 stars does not do this place justice, if you need some new ink or you are getting your first piece come in soon. Beyond greatful for the work I have gotten done so far, will be returning soon.

Fantastic experience: I got my first tattoo done by Leo and love it so much! Would definitely recommend coming back and everyone was very welcoming :) Thank you so much!!

Fantastic experience: Leo was amazing! Very light handed and quick with their work! Probably one of the most welcoming tatoo shops I’ve been too and definitely plan on going back, to get my other calf done and maybe a few others, who knows everything was sanitary, they were always checking making sure I was okay and they were overall caring and one of the nicest tattoo artists ive met! Thank you for such a wonderful experience ❤️

Fantastic experience: Dess Nichole is the best. She really works with you as far as budgeting and scheduling wise. I work a lot so getting an exact date to set up my session was a hassle but Dess was extremely friendly, understanding and rescheduled over 4 times just to make sure I was able to get the tattoo I wanted on my time and schedule. She had no problems adjusting to meet my needs. Very communicative, nice, love her personality and can’t wait to get my next one

Fantastic experience: Thank you Dess for the amazing tattoo! So clean and solid. She was very friendly and the vibes were awesome. Thw whole shop is full of fun and chill people. Definitely coming back in the future! ❤️

Fantastic experience: I got a beautiful carnation flower tattooed here by their artist Leo! First time walking in was a vibe everyone is nice and Leo was super patient and careful to detailing in their tattoos! Great tattoo shop with caring people who work there!

Fantastic experience: This is such an amazing place to go to! I went to get my first tattoo and had an awesome experience. I got Haley as my tattoo artist and will definitely go back to them. They were so welcoming and just did an incredible job. They were fast but the tattoo was super clean. Haley made sure to let me know what they were about to do and kept me very informed. Overall, wonderful experience from both the shop and the artist. Will be going back to Haley!

Fantastic experience: Better days is one of the best tattoo shops I’ve been everything’s was great and professional

Fantastic experience: Leo did amazing! Definitely going back!

Fantastic experience: Stellar tattoo shop!! CJ was professional, forthright, clean and treated us like family. The entire staff @ Better Days was ever so kind. I brought my son here, and all I have to say, if you're not getting your tattoo's here, you need to come see CJ @ Better Days! You will not be disappointed!! We couldn't be happier and we are super excited to come back soon again!!

Fantastic experience: CJ is an amazing artist, and the environment is just killer! Got an amazing piece for such a great price. Highly recommend to people new to tattoos and veterans. Go get a tat from CJ!

Fantastic experience: Dess was amazing!! She did exactly what my son wanted. Great work for sure.

Fantastic experience: To say I’m obsessed with this tattoo is an understatement. 10000/10 recommend this bomb tattoo shop and artist! Shop was so clean and spacious and everyone that I interacted with was super friendly. Everything here screams welcome. Leo was literally THE BEST! From conversation to the process of the tattoo they made me feel SO comfortable and happy. Truly an experience I needed. Can’t wait to come back ❤️

Fantastic experience: Tattoo done by Apprentice Leo Wobler. They did an amazing job, made me feel very comfortable, and were very time efficient. Amazing job!

Fantastic experience: Truly exceptional work and service. I have visited twice for pet memorial tattoos. CJ went the extra three miles, far exceeding my expectations in terms of quality and service. This is a small business full of artists who have overcome significant challenges in life to build a solid future for themselves. I highly recommend supporting this business both ethically and for the quality you will receive.

Fantastic experience: Leo was amazing. They made me feel very comfortable and their vibe was great. Everyone their was super kind. Definitely will be back.

Fantastic experience: Destiny was fast, nice, and a perfectionist! My tattoo’s turned out great and her kindness definitely made me want to come back again

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Leo did such an amazing job on my most precious piece for my kids. They’re such an awesome soul. All around great environment. I had a tattoo done before by CJ and that was a great experience as well.

Fantastic experience: Great price and they took walk in's.

Fantastic experience: I got two tattoos done by Leo and they both look amazing! I’m very excited to see how they heal. For less than a year under their belt they did a fantastic job. I will be coming back ❤️ Thanks CJ for all you’ve taught Leo, they are fantastic & you can see your artistry poking through.

Fantastic experience: leo does a great job!!! i’ve been tattooed by them twice now, and both times they were communicative the entire time and both designs were perfect! i will be back

Fantastic experience: If you’re trying to choose a place for your first tattoo you should definitely consider Better days. From friendly conversation to genuine interactions it creates an energy you’ll be welcomed. The artist themselves are really passionate about the work they do. You can tell instantly by the way they treat eachother and costumers coming in. I recently had some work done by Cin. I’ll admit i was nervous since it’d be the first tattoo i’ve ever received. He was both professional and knowledgeable in our appointment. Def recommend both the shop and the artist!!

Fantastic experience: I had an appointment with Dess and she was positive and friendly the whole time! She took her time to make sure the design was done right and it was definitely worth the time and drive! Im so happy with how it turned out and cant wait to see how it heals!

Fantastic experience: CJ is a beast!! Best shop anywhere I have found! I have 17 tattoo's by CJ and every one has been on point! This man really knows his stuff! Update went to support his apprentice Leo and they are doing a great job I'm very happy with the tattoo I got from Leo and can say they are listening to CJ cause also light handed and quick but so on point!

Fantastic experience: Leo was nice friendly welcoming let me know what was what and checked in to make sure I was comfortable and feeling good and my piece came out awesome better days tattooing in th shop to go to

Fantastic experience: Dess is absolutely amazing very easy to collaborate with quick with responses and pays great attention to detail also very light handed . She is very talented and caring about her work and comfort of her guests and great recommendations for aftercare .I would recommend her and the shop has great energy very clean and fun atmosphere you can tell they care about what they do so happy with my experience overall you should check em out

Fantastic experience: Freaking amazing, very professional and the communication was amazing, able to work with the comfort of the client rather than herself. Very specific and vocal about aftercare plans. Made it super easy to be eager with making future appointments, thank you Dess!!! From Jon and Ariel

Fantastic experience: Better days is the only shop i’ll go to! i’ve gotten tattoos by most of the artist(always the best experience) i’ve also gotten pierced by andrew twice, very very good experience! They all do a great good job, very talkative, respectful and kind! i always leave happy!!

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience getting a tattoo done by Leo! They made the whole process smooth, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. Highly recommend Leo if you want a great tattoo experience from start to finish! The shop itself is also very clean and welcoming. Everyone there was incredibly kind, and professional. You can tell they care about both their art and their clients. I felt totally at ease the whole time. Highly recommend this shop!

Fantastic experience: Such a good vibe to their space- all artists are so friendly and welcoming. Better days is the BEST spot! Cj, Haley, Dess, Cayla, Djibril

Fantastic experience: Leo was such a great artist! They took their time but got us out super quick. They were also very kind and patient when trying to find the best placement for tattoo. Would totally come back to Better Days and would also come back to see Leo :)

Fantastic experience: DJ was awesome! Amazing artist! Very professional. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get a tattoo!

Fantastic experience: I don't have experience with getting tattoos. My son asked to get one for his birthday when he was 16. I deflected and said well let's wait until you turn 17, hoping him wanting one would fade. Fast forward to October 10th, his 17th birthday and here we are. I said I don't even know where to go, we have to go somewhere that is a safe place to get them. He texted me while I was at work and said I found one and they have a 5 star review and alot of good comments and they take walk ins. Well we went and the level of professionalism, care and attentiveness we were shown was amazing. Yes, 5 stars are accurate. He got the tattoo he wanted, it wasn't too big since this is his first one. Great service!!

Fantastic experience: Got a tramp stamp from Dess and she was so fast and sweet the whole time :)) Will definitely be coming back for more soon highly recommend Dess!!

Fantastic experience: Just got my first tattoo here done by Leo and they did an amazing job! I love it so much. The atmosphere of the place was very inviting and all the other tattooers were so kind and helped me throughout the process. Would definitely come back again :)

Fantastic experience: I got the pleasure of getting some art done with Leo today. My tattoo came out looking great, super clean! The shop itself was well kept, and a super chill laid back environment. Leo was really inviting and made sure that everything was to my liking. Multiple times they stopped to make sure I was comfortable and not hurting. We both loved the design as well which was a plus, so they were also complimenting my piece through the whole process and we were both really happy with the outcome. The tattoo is adorable. I'll definitely be back to the shop to add new ink, and excited to see the growth and progress Leo makes as well!

Fantastic experience: I walked in with an appointment set for my daughter to get a tattoo and Drew who made me feel completely comfortable I end up getting a piercing from him a dermal to be exact absolutely amazing gentlemen did great I didn't feel anything definitely will be coming back... Great environment great staff! 10/10 recommend

Fantastic experience: Cj from better days just has to be one of the best tattoo artists I have ever gone too, knows what he’s doing and gets it done! Will be going back for more can count on that!! Got my Medusa done after 4 years of wanting her and he did it perfectly!!

Negative experience: Unfortunately I had to change my rating from 5 to 1 star seeing how it looks now. I was told it looks this way because CJ did not shave my arm. As you can see my dream catcher tattoo that I got done at the convention center 3 years ago is clear and clean. I was told by another artist this is because my arm was properly shaved and treated. Showing the difference in my video from another artists work versus CJ's work it shows clearly the difference in quality as well as the difference of my arm not being shaved. In time I will get it touched up by a different artists. I will have to give CJ a one-star rating for my tattoo quality. I even added a video showing the difference between a tattoo that was is over 15yrs old and still clean looking compared to CJ's barely a mouth old. He did try to make this right but at this time I simply don't trust the his work.

Fantastic experience: I just got my evil eye tattoo touched up here and I couldn’t be happier! CJ was great. He got me in the same day, and worked quickly without rushing. He did an amazing job freshening up my tattoo—it looks better than ever and I absolutely love it. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for great work and a great experience!

Fantastic experience: Dess did an amazing job on my son's first tattoo! Was light handed and made sure he was OK. Will be returning for more work soon

Fantastic experience: The experience couldn't of been any easier i appreciate destiny and her expertise in getting exactly what I wanted I will definitely be a return customer which means Detter Days are ahead

Fantastic experience: Dess did an amazing job on the line work for a small tattoo on the side of my thumb, I love it and I definitely will come back at some point.

Fantastic experience: came in for a walk-in and left with a very beautiful tattoo. great atmosphere & nice people, i will definitely be back for more tattoos in the future.

Fantastic experience: Leo did absolutely amazing! My tattoo looks great and is exactly what I was hoping for! The shop itself is very clean and welcoming. I highly recommend checking out their work!

Fantastic experience: Best experience ever for my first tattoo. Dess heard me out on all my requests and talked me through everything she was doing. 100% would recommend!

Fantastic experience: I got my tattoo from Leo who was so great! I've been getting tattooed for a long time and I appreciate artists who are thorough with making sure to explain the process and aftercare. They made me feel comfortable for the first time being in that shop, and had a great personality! I can tell they take pride in their craft. My tattoo turned out so adorable and I can't stop looking at it! I'm definitely going to come back and see Leo again!

Fantastic experience: Leo did so amazing! Will definitely be going back! Very quick and precise work!!

Fantastic experience: I went in today for a tattoo from Leo. I was super nervous to try a new shop but he made me feel super welcomed :) did an amazing job and I will 100% be back!

Fantastic experience: I got to see Leo yesterday. They did a great job on a very special piece for me of my children. Helped me chose the perfect placement and I truly enjoyed getting to sit back and enjoy some kid free time, during my session we shared some laughs and stories and it was a over all GREAT experience and I'm in love with my new piece of art.

Fantastic experience: I want to say how amazing Leo Wolber did today! She did the exact drawing I asked for and was super professional! I definitely recommend Better days tattooing! Super good vibes as well!

Fantastic experience: Leo @ Better Days did my Tattoo this time around and service was 10/10. Such a great artist! Loved the aftercare sheet I was given as well!! So helpful! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: I got a tattoo from apprentice Leo Wolber and they are incredible!! So kind, so punctual, and so talented, I will most definitely be back for another one ASAP!! The store is super nice and cozy, so even if you can’t get an appointment with Leo, you can’t go wrong with anyone here.

Fantastic experience: got a tattoo from leo and they did amazing!! exactly what i wanted and helped me with placement and everything. i wasn’t bored at all and they’re super friendly! highly recommend <3

Fantastic experience: Told Leo a description of what I wanted she came up with a badass design and nailed it on the tattooing was by far the least painful tattoo I've ever gotten she was amazing definitely recommend and definitely going back the best part is it was completely free just don't forget to tip your artist she definitely deserves it

Fantastic experience: Came there yesterday to get a tattoo of my dog with Leo and she did a great job and was very nice and helpful with explaining aftercare. Will definitely be back

Fantastic experience: Just got this and wow! I highly recommend getting your next tattoo here with Dess. She did such a fantastic job and was super friendly! Definitely will going here for my next one in the future ☺️

Fantastic experience: Some things transpired to where friendships didn’t wanna be crossed and CJ said he would touch my tattoo up for free to make everything right. CJ and better days tattoo is the best tattoo shop on the west side hands-down! I have much love and respect for better days tattoo and everyone in it especially CJ. I look forward to continue working with you.

Fantastic experience: i’ve gotten tattooed by cj martin a few times, i went and got a sentimental piece for my niece, and also a few flash tattoos definitely was one of the best experiences that I’ve had CJ has very good communication skills, and an understanding of what you’re asking for the shop is one of the cleanest tattoo shops I’ve seen they’re very welcoming. The tattoo itself is amazing just look. I also just recently went in and got a flash piece done with their lovely apprentice Leo. I got a dragon that reminded me of toothless from how to train your dragon!

Fantastic experience: Dess did my Hellraiser tattoo today, it was everything I expected and more. Great quality, relaxed environment, and very clean. The perfect blend of professionalism and customer service! Will definitely be back for more tattoos

Fantastic experience: Leo did a tattoo for me yesterday and I am going back again today. Not only was I late and they still accommodated me but everything about the tattoo and the experience was amazing. Lightest hand that has ever tattooed me, and did such amazing work. I think this might be my favorite tattoo I have now. I have never felt more comfortable in a tattoo shop. Everyone there not just Leo was super friendly and helpful. Not only did Leo continue to check on me and how I was doing they also made sure I was comfortable anytime they touched me. Something I didn’t realize makes a huge difference on how comfortable I felt. This will definitely have to be my new tattoo shop and Leo will definitely be an artist I continue to come back to.

Fantastic experience: Had the pleasure to get a tattoo by Leo such a cool person and literally so down to earth very light handed my tattoo barely hurt and it came out so amazing I’m absolutely obsessed with it if you get the chance def book with them!! it was one of the best tattooing experience I’ve had in so long they didn’t try to rush me out!! They took their time and made sure I was okay in every step of the process!!

Fantastic experience: Cj literally gave me so much confidence back from fixing one of my biggest but most favorite tattoos !! Something I didn’t think would ever look good is starting to look AMAZING. I sincerely can not wait to get back in the shop for the next session NOTHING BUT TALENT ❤️

I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for great vibes and stellar artwork (especially -Dess!)
