Blu Gorilla Tattoo

Experiencia fantástica: Staff and artists are amazing. Tim did my work and the lines are extremely clean and dark. Will definitely be going back for more work.

Experiencia fantástica: Thanks Tim, you're a true artist, professional and kind. I appreciated your time!!

Experiencia fantástica: I was traveling as a guest artist last year and after being here for a while, I made Charleston and The Blu Gorilla my permanent home. The Artists are all very professional and talented and they make you feel welcome. You will get honest feedback and guidance from any artist you speak to. Give it a go and call or come by to see for yourself!

Experiencia fantástica: Myself, family and friends have all been tattooed here. Great location, decor keeps your interest, and everyone is professional, helpful and friendly. Henry is the best!

Experiencia fantástica: Here for a girls’ trip in Charleston and we decided to get spontaneous tattoos. A server recommended Blu Gorilla, and they fit all of us in as walk-ins the next morning. Such a great experience from start to finish. Jess was amazing, super talented, accommodating, and made us all feel so comfortable. Loved her energy!

Experiencia fantástica: Tim did a great job on my dreamcatcher with feathers on it tattoo Great atmosphere People are really nice and helpful My husband and I have been there and going back I recommend Blue gorilla

Experiencia fantástica: Best tattoo shop in Charleston. All the artists are super sweet and knowledgeable. The owner is the coolest and every time I’m in the shop I feel comfortable and leave with beautiful art.

Experiencia negativa: Was texting the owner for days via Instagram about the work that I wanted done. I sent photos and was given an appointment. I was told that the work would be no problem at all, any artist could do it and multiple were available. I drove over an hour to get to the shop, 5 minutes early for my appointment and was told that whoever I was messaging changed their mind and did not want to do the tattoo. Then no other "artist" was interested in helping. I do not recommend wasting your time with people like this. They clearly could care less about keeping their appointments and do not care about their customers. I usually tip my tattoo artists a ton, especially with easy work like this so it is their loss.

Experiencia fantástica: Noah is unreal. Shared stories about life, was so approachable — and most important did incredible work. Also shoutout Liz, so sweet and great at front desk

Experiencia fantástica: Tim did an amazing water color piece for my fur baby. He was very professional and everything was clean.

Experiencia fantástica: I love Tim Donnelley so much!! He’s given me two cute tattoos and then i had him fix one of my other ones that i got from a different artist somewhere a few years ago and he did an amazing job! I feel like i finally found my person in Charleston! I highly recommend him! As well as this shop has always been clean kind and friendly and always a good experience!

Experiencia fantástica: great artist and great environment and Jess was a sweet as can be i would hands down recommend anyone here and i will be coming back

Experiencia negativa: Natalie was my tattoo artist. The dot closest to my nail is so off centered and way to close, it obviously doesn’t match the other dots. I was not told my total UNTIL AFTER I was tattooed. No price was told to me before I got tattooed. $120 for these tiny tattoos. After asking for a discount I only got $20 off.

Experiencia fantástica: Best Tattoo Parlor in Charleston!! DRE G!!!!! Super cool...laid back table side manner....extremely talented. Look her up...she rocks the traditional american style tattoos like no ones business!

Experiencia positiva: This shop is hit or miss. Previously, I went a few times this summer and had great experiences with Scott the artist and Moss at front desk. It was always clean, they would fit me in on busy days, and vibes were great. However, this time the shop was visibly dirty and employees complained about work drama. This raised red flags & I decided to walk-in elsewhere.

Experiencia fantástica: Wife came here not planned but she's been wanting to get one more tattoo for awhile. I was a little skeptical at first as I know some places don't take walk ins.... nope they took my wife right in and all I gotta say is Corey is VERY talented and an awesome dude to talk with we nerded out on star wars a little bit which was awesome . The shading, lines everything was absolutely amazing on her tattoo! I WILL be driving back down from NC just to have my next tattoo done by him!!

Experiencia fantástica: Tim D was awesome, as well as everyone else on the staff. They were very accommodating to a walk in from my wife and me. Tim came up with a sweet little piece for me! Rock on!

Experiencia negativa: I came to this shop with two friends, all of us arriving well before closing, with plenty of time to get tattoos. Instead of being welcomed, we were denied service by the entire staff—who were sitting outside smoking—because they “only take tattoos within 30 minutes before close.” This makes absolutely no sense. If you post business hours, customers should be able to expect service during those hours. Refusing paying clients while you’re still open shows a total disregard for customer service and professionalism. If you’re going to deny people in the middle of your posted hours, just be honest and change your hours online. Otherwise, it comes across as lazy and disrespectful to anyone who chooses to give you their business.

Experiencia fantástica: My family and I had such a great experience today. The staff were super friendly and worked the 4 of us into their busy schedule without hesitation. We all got small matching tattoos and were out in less than a hour. Noah and Tristian were fantastic and professional! My 3 year old tagged along and Noah gave her own little “tattoo”. It made her day! So so sweet. The shop is cute and clean. They have a decent sized waiting area. Not only are the artists great, but the front desk staff are also very nice and welcoming. Highly recommend this spot!

Experiencia negativa: Called to see if they took walk ins to which they said they did. Showed up 40 minutes before they closed and they said they couldn’t take me even though what I wanted was very small and simple. Also no one was currently being serviced at the time. Heard one of the workers say “we’re about to close, they can’t fire all of us.”

Experiencia fantástica: Jess was absolutely incredible. She was honest and straight forward when deciding my tattoo position to make sure I was going to be happy with it long term. Did great work and was so cool to talk to. Will definitely book another when I’m in town!

Experiencia fantástica: Tristan did a couple of my tattoos at the downtown location and they are by far my favorite tattoos I have. He made it a smooth, easy process, and his attention to detail is unmatched! The healing process was very smooth as well. Highly recommend going to see Tristan soon!

Experiencia fantástica: Tim (2) did an amazing job! Helped out a ton with placement and was super patient while I decided how I wanted my tattoo. Definitely would visit again when I’m in town!

Experiencia negativa: Messaged two different people from Blu Gorilla and was just redirected twice and straight ignored after a few messages by both after simply asking what their availability was. Slightly aggravating especially when you're prepared to drop 1k-2k on a tattoo. But I have also heard great things so I encourage anyone looking to give them a shot.

Experiencia fantástica: Tim was absolutely incredible. Will only be coming here from now on. Took the time to adjust my sketch to my liking, was super patient with me to move around the stencil to make sure I was happy before we put on any ink, was super efficient and kind. Tattoo was even better than I was hoping for and exceeded my expectations!!!! Go see Tim!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Noah was great came here on my cruise and he was so sweet took me out after my tat and everything to get coffee and show me around since I was here on vacation! Thank you for my tour and tat Noah! Much love for a great job!

Experiencia fantástica: my very first tattoo Noah was awesome. Nothing but good things to say. Came in spontaneously with 17 people at 7 pm and they closed at 8 got us all done and fit in and made everyone’s as they wanted it

Experiencia fantástica: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best Tattoo Artist I’ve Ever Met ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been tattooed all over the world, from renowned shops to hidden gems, but no one compares to Noah. His skill, precision, and artistry are on another level, especially when it comes to American Traditional—bold, clean, and timeless. I’ve trusted Noah with seven tattoos (and will be back for more) , and every single one is flawless. His linework is crisp, his shading is rich, and his designs are perfectly balanced. He understands the fundamentals of the craft while bringing his own creativity and style to every piece. His diverse skill set is just as impressive—whether it’s traditional, fine-line detailing, or solid, long-lasting color work, Noah’s ability to execute with perfection is unmatched. Beyond his talent, Noah is a rare kind of artist—professional, meticulous, and genuinely passionate about what he does. His setup is always immaculate, his process is seamless, and his attention to cleanliness and safety is second to none. He also is engaging the entire time and ensures you are comfortable. He creates a safe space and makes it easy for you to feel completely at ease in his hands. More than just a tattooer, Noah is a true artist with a gentle soul—patient, kind, and deeply invested in giving his clients the best work possible. Every time I leave his chair, I’m in awe of what he’s created. If you’re searching for a world-class tattoo artist in an incredible shop, look no further. Noah at Blue Gorilla will exceed every expectation—there’s truly no one else like him! Y’all go see him.

Experiencia fantástica: I got a small tattoo from Pabby recently and had the best experience! He was really patient and explained the details of how small tattoos on your foot can fade over time before we ever started. I was determined to get it and enjoy it for the time it lasted and he walked me through the after care process and was so patient when I needed a break. I've been tattooed before but this one was really sentimental and he was the perfect person to get it from. I'll definitely go back to him again.

Experiencia fantástica: Just had my thumb tattoos done at Blue Gorilla by there Artist named Pabby, and they turned out amazing! He is such a talented artist and truly embodies the old-school tattoo style, which is rare these days. I've had hundreds of tattoos from dozens of artists across the country, and he is by far one of the most professional Badass Artists iv come across and his attention to detail is impressive; I am beyond satisfied with the results. Pabby is now my go-to artist in South Carolina, and I look forward to seeing him for my next tattoo!

Experiencia fantástica: Blu gorilla has many wonderful artists. Both tim and Pabby have been tattooing for many many years and are fantastic at their craft. I get many compliments on my tattoos and always asked where I got them. Will always send people their way. Pabby and Tim are both professional and easy to work with and offer one of a kind magical art. Highly recommend !

Experiencia fantástica: I love Pabby not only does he have an amazing personality but I love his work. He did a piece on my husbands chest after his brother passed and it is rad. The detail is amazing and the line work pristine. All custom of course. I love my female symbol horns and fire. I gave him an idea what I wanted and asked him to personalize it, it is perfect and a custom piece as well. Definitely speaks lol Awesome tat, great color, painless even pretty much. Very professional, very gifted. Pabby will now forever be a go to for my work.

Experiencia fantástica: As a person full of tattoos done many places across the country, Blu Gorilla is my absolute go-to favorite spot. I can’t leave this review without highlighting the best artists I’ve ever met- Pabby and Marley. Pabby has done many of my tattoos, some being from years ago that still to this day look freshly done and beautiful! He is professional, easy going, and overall an amazing human to work with and talk to. I cannot express enough how lucky I am to have found the best artists!

Experiencia fantástica: Pabby has been tattooing me for years. He tattooed roses on my hands a few years ago and they still look incredible. The color is still brilliant and the line work is clean. He’s always been friendly and professional and I would and will definitely let him tattoo me again! Thanks pabby! I get compliments on my roses all the time!

Experiencia fantástica: I recently went to this shop to get my first tattoo ever and I had the best experience with Pabby, he told me exactly what to expect and my tattoo was extraordinary beautiful!! He is magical and I’m definitely going back for another one!!! Thank you for being top notch at your trade!! You are truly gifted Pabby!!

Experiencia fantástica: Literally the best tattoo shop in Charleston and it’s not even close. Friendly, professional, and INSANELY great tattoos by amazing artists. Tim rocks! Never going anywhere else!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Had an amazing experience at Blue Gorilla Tattoo! Tim did an incredible job—his attention to detail and skill are top-notch. The shop is clean, professional, and welcoming. I couldn’t be happier with my tattoo and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: First time ever leaving a review. This is THE place to get tattoos in Charleston.! Everyone in the shop was very nice and Pabby did a legendary job on my traditional scorpion. Very accommodating people that were able to work with my time constraints and give me a flawless tattoo. Would give 6 stars if I could :)

Experiencia fantástica: Tim was the absolute best. First tattoo, he put me at ease and no matter how many times I changed placement he didn’t mind a bit. Very professional but still personable. Will absolutely be going back even though it’s a 3 hour drive!

Experiencia fantástica: I love everything about this shop, everyone in there are super friendly and very knowledgeable, I absolutely love my ink. My artist was super talented with fine line and she had a very light touch. Am on the second day and there is no swelling and no residual pain. Will very definitely be back and I wish I could give her 10 stars!!

Experiencia fantástica: tim stayed after closing during a snow storm to finish my tat. made me and my friend feel super welcome and let us play whatever music we wanted--such a good time and amazing work!!! thanks tim 2!!

Experiencia fantástica: Tim Donnelley was the best gave me two tattoos, both were super quick, and turned out better than imagine. Always designs the coolest tats!

Experiencia fantástica: This was hands down one of my favorite studios! I will be back for a new tattoo each time I’m in my favorite city of Charleston My artist was amazing and killed it on my olive branch tattoo! Recommend this place to everyone!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was amazing!!! Henry at the front desk was super kind, went out of his way to be helpful and keep me calm. Scott my tattoo artist was the best.

Experiencia negativa: It has now been 3 years since I got my very first tattoo here, and I am about to get it covered up. Here's the story: I went in with my own drawing of a bouquet of flowers for my ribcage. I originally wanted a finer line tattoo, nothing too thin, but they said they didn't do that nor would they recommend. They instead chose a very thick needle, thicker than I ever expected but by the time they let me see it of course it was already done. It was quick, I paid and went home, and when I finally got a good look at it, I noticed that a large piece of the bouquet was literally unfinished, and a part of it was freehanded and looked so weird... I assume the stencil rubbed off, but why wouldn't you use a reference photo? Ask me to see it again? Why would you freehand? I was leaving town the next day as I was just visiting a family member, so I had to contact them about it 2 months later to get it fixed. I explained the issue and when I came in again I was met with so much hostility, as if it was my fault. He told me he did exactly what was on the stencil, even though I was showing him the comparison... He still fixed it, so clearly it was wrong... Anyway, 3 years later and the tattoo is even thicker than it used to be. You can almost barely tell what it is. This is exactly why I wanted the finer line to begin with. Their recommendation ended up worse. If you look close, you can tell it's blown out in nearly all areas. It was a special first tattoo, now I'm going to have to fix it.

Experiencia negativa: This review is only for Brent. I was recommended him by the person at the front desk, but he wasn't there when I was so they connected me with their Instagram. I sent a message to Brent and plenty of reference photos. He replied with his opinion and I was so open to getting my tattoo I offered for him to do whatever he suggested. He never replied after he gave his opinion and I asking him how to move forward. This review has nothing to do with the shop, which in itself is in a great location and everyone has been incredible that I've spoken with. Just to reiterate, this is about Brent.

Experiencia fantástica: We went and got sister tattoos on our girls trip and Noah was our tattoo artist. We had a great experience Noah did an amazing job, he was very outgoing! Would definitely recommend!!

Experiencia fantástica: Brent did an amazing job on my tattoo. An overall great experience. The desk people (namely Henry) and artists are all very accomodating. Would recommend this to anyone. Especially if you want realistic art.

Experiencia fantástica: I came in as a walk-in and immediately Henry at the front desk made me feel so welcome and comfortable and matched me with the perfect artist, Natalie, for what I wanted. Natalie worked with me to design exactly what I pictured and the process and final product couldn’t have been better. The attention to detail, care for the customer and love for the craft was exemplified in the work and I couldn’t be happier. Couldn’t recommend enough! 11/10

Experiencia fantástica: Noah did an incredible job on a super fine line tattoo for me. He was so accommodating and made the whole experience so much better. Corey is also amazing at traditional styles and using color. Henry is incredibly friendly and welcomes you into the shop right away.

Experiencia fantástica: Our artist was Brent & we got some awesome work done. He was very friendly & we walked away very satisfied. Henry, the desk guy, was awesome as well. Didn't feel rushed even though the shop was quite busy.

Experiencia fantástica: Went to Tim for the Friday the 13th deal today and he was awesome. I’ve been to a lot of shops in Charleston but never this Blu Gorilla location, but my experience was great and I’ll definitely be back in the future. My sister also got a tattoo from Tim that turned out amazing. Henry behind the front desk was great and super helpful, overall a really pleasant experience and I’m excited to come back!

Experiencia fantástica: I love this shop! (This is my 3rd time returning). Absolute best hands down in Charleston. Staff is extremely friendly, making sure you’re satisfied and leave with a smile. I got the pleasure of meeting the owner Tim, and he truly is gold! I love Blu!! Thank you so much for the work provided to me and my bf! Forever customer!

Experiencia fantástica: Henry and Tyler are some of the coolest dudes ever. I always love coming here, these guys are amazing. Quality service and tattoos. They help create such a safe and fun environment, I’ll definitely be back!

Experiencia fantástica: Dre did a fantastic job on tattoos for myself and 3 friends and they all are amazing! She was wonderful and I would absolutely come back and request her!’

Experiencia fantástica: We all came in to get matching family tattoos. Tyler was assigned to us - he did great! We had lots of fun hanging out with him and getting tattooed! He is very professional! Knowing he could do fine line tattoos made this even better!! I ended up getting extras once I knew that! I was very impressed with everything he did!! I highly recommend Tyler for your next tattoo!!

Experiencia fantástica: I recently went to Charleston to celebrate my 40th birthday. I wanted a tattoo before I left and I asked a lot of the locals and this place was highly recommended. I went and the customer service was awesome! From the time I walked in until I left, I felt so welcomed❤️ The artist are friendly , funny and the vibes we great! Corey did my tattoo and he did such an amazing job!! I rarely make post about the services I've received but I had to leave them one. Thank you guys for your awesome services

Experiencia fantástica: Noah was amazing! Super kind and funny. Made the experience a great memory for me and my mom!! The shop is super cool and clean!! 100% recommend! Noah we love you<3

Experiencia fantástica: Incredible experience! Got a matching tat with my best friend as a walk in and we both loved our artists and how everything came out. Truly the best experience

Experiencia fantástica: This place was awesome. Went to South Carolina for a girls trip and decided on matching tattoos. They were able to take us as walk-in's (4 people) were very nice and accommodating. The building was clean and the work turned out great.

Experiencia fantástica: Mr Moss helped me the past two times I came in and has been extremely helpful each time! Very easy conversation and very knowledgeable with answering all of my questions! 10/10 desk boy experience.. The artists there as well are always a pleasure to work with, lovely group of staff and artists!

Experiencia positiva: Overall great experience for a walk-in tattoo. The front desk and the artist that did my friend's tattoo could work on their customer service skills. Noah did my tattoo and he was just lovely. So friendly and gave me a beautiful tattoo, exactly what I wanted.

Experiencia fantástica: Went in for a random walk in with my boyfriend on a Tuesday afternoon. Everyone was super friendly and accommodating. Scott did a fantastic job with my LOTR script (he knows elvish) good banter throughout as well so that’s chill. Jeremiah did my boyfriends and that was dope too! I’ll definitely be back.

Experiencia fantástica: Dre's work was amazing and had an awesome personality. This was my first tattoo and it had sentimental feelings for me, Dre was so cool about that and made sure the design was perfect. I now can't wait to go back and get another piece of art from Dre

Experiencia fantástica: I went to see Tyler Lacey for my first big piece of art. I was pretty nervous and Tyler was amazing throughout the whole process. He was patient and the I am beyond satisfied with the quality of work. Cannot say enough about Blu Gorilla and Tyler! THANK YOU! Special shoutout to Steph at the front desk for making me feel welcomed as soon as I walked in.

Experiencia fantástica: Came here years ago when my naval ship was in town. I walked in no appointment and they had space and was accommodating. I've went back home to Canada and gotten tattoos here and the quality doesn't compare to the tattoo I got here. Highly recommend you come here to get your tattoo you won't be disappointed. Tattoo age is 6 years old.

Experiencia fantástica: I had it done about almost 3 weeks ago three I had it done about almost 3 weeks ago it has a specific I'm putting the past behind me. It says let it Go with three butterflies one green one red and one blue for everyone that's waiting in heaven for me. Tattoo tattoo artist name is Tristan the lines in the butterflies are so perfect. Thank you so much I am very pleased ♥️

Experiencia fantástica: Had a great experience at Blu Gorilla with our group. All the artists were wonderful to work with and very accomodating! As a bonus, their choice in music was excellent.

Experiencia fantástica: I've been tattooed by Tyler & Scott. Both do such an incredible job and are so fun to be around, make me feel super comfortable & their work is impeccable. Sarah at the front desk is also the kindest soul. Everyone I have met is welcoming and kind. Scott & Tyler both did some amazing work & I will be back again and again.

Experiencia fantástica: I had an amazing experience at the Blu Gorilla Tattoo. Patty was my tattoo artist snd he did an amazing job. I wad skeptical about getting an appointment since I didn't plan ahead but was glad they do walk in Saturdays.

Experiencia fantástica: Came here for a bachelorette party and four of us walked in to get spontaneous tattoos which they were so welcoming about. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Very efficient and we’re patient with our requests. They also made the environment fun and the client around us was from all walks of life. If I ever find myself in SC again I will ABSOLUTELY be back.

Experiencia fantástica: Sarah at the front desk made the entire experience seamless, from filling out paperwork to enjoying the best tattoo experience with Austin. It was such an effortless process, and I highly recommend anyone to come on a Saturday for the walk-in day and get a tattoo. Thank you Sarah and Austin!! Great experience at Blu Gorilla Tattoo!

Experiencia fantástica: Had an excellent first tattoo experience! Didn't get our artist's name (he was a British guy)- but he was awesome. Everyone was so patient with both me and my sister getting tattoos for the first time- followed the aftercare instructions, and healing is going great! Thank y'all!

Experiencia fantástica: LOVE LOVE LOVE blu gorilla. Tristan does an excellent job with tattoos. I’ve gotten 9 from him now and every last one is done with amazing precision and super light handed. 10/10 recommend and definitely plan on coming back.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome tattoo shop with a comfortable atmosphere and great artists. Corey Hollins from Virgina as a guest artist exceeded my expectations with his art design and tattoo. Its artists like him that brought me into Blu Gorilla. If your looking for a tattoo in Charleston go here. Great experience, 5/5.

Experiencia fantástica: Loved my time here! Everyone is very welcoming and accommodating, and the shop itself is super cool. Brent was my artist and he was amazing. My tattoo looks great and he was very easy and fun to talk! Overall great experience, highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Experiencia fantástica: Tyler did an amazing job! We were a walk-in. The Blu Gorilla staff got us in and the tattoo was complete within the hour. I definitely recommend you check out the Blu Gorilla if you need any ink done!

Experiencia fantástica: Got a tattoo from Pabby the other day, super cool guy. Super patient & waited for me and as soon as I got there he took me right away as a walk in. 10/10 recommend this shop & Pabby. Tristan is also a great artist, they’re both talented. Definitely stop by here and get you a tattoo.

Experiencia fantástica: Had a wonderful time in the shop. Didn't know what I really wanted and the very wonderful desk gentleman Henry helped me tremendously! He pointed me to the perfect artist for the style I wanted and also gave me some great ideas for future visits. I haven't had such a great experience at a shop in a while and I will surely be back! Thanks Henry for going above and beyond.

Experiencia fantástica: such a good experience! I contacted Henry to schedule an appointment and got me set up with Scott. Scott brought my vision to life, and I will be contacting him again soon for a few more pieces that I want! The whole staff was lovely.

Experiencia fantástica: My boyfriend and I came down here for vacation and we got spontaneous tattoos. Dre took care of both of us and she was amazing. 10/10 recommend her! My boyfriend has a few tattoos already but i only had a very small one. Made us feel super comfortable!

Experiencia fantástica: What a great experience! I am on vacation and was hoping to get a tattoo to mark this moment in my life, as it is mine and my husbands 17th wedding anniversary! When I walked in and was greeted by Buck who has such a great energy and personality! I showed him what I was wanting to get done, he connected me with Marley/Marz, she was wonderful and nailed what I was wanting! Faith & Love They got me in right away and walked me through it all! Very satisfied~ would highly recommend The Blue Gorilla! Great energy, great artist!

Experiencia fantástica: Jeremiah Johnson did a tattoo for me in late 2023 . He was friendly, helpful and serious about his craft. When my sister visited Charleston in Feb 2024 I recommended Blu Gorilla with Jeremiah. She is very pleased as well. The place is clean and people are nice. Henry at the front desk, represents Blu Gorilla very well as the first face you see. Win/win!

Experiencia fantástica: Austin tattooed 3 of us and did a fantastic job!! We all got fine lined small tattoos and they turned out amazing! He redrew one tattoo a couple times to be exactly what one of us wanted. He took his time to make sure it was perfect drawing and placement. Would highly recommend him!!

Experiencia negativa: Me and my friend went as walk ins and the guy who ended up doing our tattoos was really rude about what we wanted. He kept trying to change our idea about what we wanted on OUR bodies permanently. My friend ended up getting what she liked but she was lectured the entire tattoo session about how he hated the kind of tattoo she was getting. When it was my turn he kept trying to change what I wanted and it ended up being completely different on my body then what I showed him. It was a good tattoo but completely not what I had asked for. I asked for it to match my other tattoos and now it just looks odd and out of place and again was just not the style or thing I was at all asking for and now it is permanently on me forever.

Experiencia fantástica: I wish I could give more stars. My tattoo is absolutely amazing. My best friend and I came in for a book-related tattoo in a style that mimicked the author’s signature and not only did we get it, but it is better than we imagined (both of us being experienced in getting tattooed). The first thing our artist, Austin Vernon, said after we told him our idea was “thank you for trusting me to do this for you.” I’ve never had anything nicer or more welcoming said to me in a tattoo shop, especially as a walk-in and ESPECIALLY as a woman who likes the kind of stuff tattoo tiktok makes fun of. Everyone we interacted with, from other artists coming by to the front desk were unbelievably kind, welcoming, patient, professional and FANTASTIC AT THEIR JOB. Will return from out of state for more tattoos.

Experiencia negativa: Our artist was Gregory. My friend and I went for simple and small fine line tattoos and the lines are not straight at all. He was not friendly. He maybe had the needle on my skin for 45 seconds. Just wish he would’ve taken his time to ensure a quality tattoo. For how much we paid we were very disappointed with our experience and our tattoos. Would not recommend this place at all.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing. I got my first tattoo here to honor my Bichon toy poodle mix who died at almost 17 years old. He was with me through a lot of good times and some very difficult times. My rock. I wanted him with me always. I worked with Pebby to get it right. He was no nonsense and professional. It hurt but it was worth it. I came back a few months later to touch it up and he did it perfectly again. Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: 5 stars for Brent! He is a great artist with lots of personality, good advice, and fair prices. Every time I see him I’m blown away by the results. See you in a couple of months!

Experiencia negativa: My experience was not welcoming. The guy at the front desk was nice, but when he was looking at the inspiration image of a tattoo, one of the artists (the Brit) came up and insulted our choice by calling it "best Pintrest has to offer". After that we didn't want to get tattooed there and left and found a different tattoo shop and artist.

Experiencia fantástica: They done an amazing job on both mine and my son's tattoos. The tattoo artist and the staff are all so cool Blu gorilla is a very professional, clean & chill tattoo studio . I highly recommend blue gorilla if you want your tattoo done right the way you'd like your tatt done, they listen to what their customers want! Blu Gorilla is badass 10 outta 10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Experiencia fantástica: Brent got me in quickly and was phenomenal. Great pricing, clean shop, good people. We will be back.

Experiencia fantástica: Me and my husband both went for matching tattoos of our sons birth date and it was by far our best experience. Ashley Huber did both of them and they came out perfect. Ashley and Corey talked to us the entire time and made it such a great experience. Everyone we came into contact to were professional and kind. The shop is very clean and organized. We would definitely drive out of our way to come back.

Experiencia fantástica: Dope spot. Great artists . Jeremiah tatted me all day! Great line work, good energy all around dope person. Got a few things done, both hands and a pitbull on my arm.

Experiencia fantástica: Scott was super helpful, patient, and witty. He designed a fusion between the design my daughter wanted, and what I wanted. I was scared to death, but the entire staff was patient and reassuring. The place was clean, well lit, and spacious, considering how many artists shared the space. If you are considering a tattoo, check them out!

Experiencia fantástica: Had a great experience at Blu Gorilla with Gregory on Saturday. The wait was quick for a walk in (maybe 10-15 minutes) and everyone was super welcoming and friendly. The shop itself even has an inviting feel to it. Gregory has been a tattoo artist for over 30 years and I could certainly tell. He was very knowledgeable with his work and kind. He gave me step by step instructions on caring for my new tattoo and explained it thoroughly while answering my questions. I am extremely happy with the results of my new tattoo and would strongly recommend this place.

Experiencia fantástica: had a GREAT experience! the whole staff was friendly and nice. Dre did all the tattoos in my group. She was lovely and did an amazing job. If we weren’t out of town we would definitely be back to get tattoos here forever!!

Experiencia fantástica: These guys did an awesome job yesterday. Brent was my artist super cool and easy going. The rest of the staff was as well, it had a fun vibe with the other artists coming in and chatting for a bit. Just overall nice experience with a tattoo I'm happy with. Thanks guys

Experiencia fantástica: A few friends and I got tattoos here, and the staff was absolutely amazing! Noah did a fantastic job working out designs and delivering a precise final product. We would definitely come here again, and I'd highly recommend this parlor to other people.

Experiencia fantástica: Was visiting from out of town with a group of friends. We walked in on a Saturday right when they opened without appointments. They were very accommodating and got tattooing us within the hour we got there! Corey H was awesome and did a great job with our tattoos. The whole staff was nice, place was nice and clean. Would highly recommend!
