Blake is by far the best traditional style tattooer I know. My whole family goes to him! I've gotten several pieces done by him. Each tattoo has killer line work, vibrant colors, and heals quick without issue. Even my older tattoos still have great color! He is very professional and accommodating. If you have a vision he'll bring it to life. If you are unsure of exactly what you want he has a wide range of flash you can choose from.
The whole shop is super clean, friendly, and humorous. There is also a really cool art gallery in the front that always has some pretty rad stuff to look at.
Yelp saw this first but stumbled upon this place while walking down the historic street and had a really good experience although I didn't get any tattoos!
There's a bunch of interesting art throughout the space and even a cool little spot to sit and chill at. 100% worth checking out, the owner was working with a client when I came in but took the time to introduce himself and he's a super chill guy and you can just tell that he is a creative at heart. This type of environment is what brings the community together and I'm all for it!

Blake is the man! I’ve been getting tattooed at Black Umbrella for about 4 years now and the vibes are unlike other tattoo shops. The artists actually make you feel welcomed and not intimidated. Plenty of food and coffee shops in the area too which is always a plus!
