    Nothing but great things to say about Rising Tide! The coolest atmosphere with the most helpful and kind artists. Matt squeezed me in as a walk-in on a tattoo on my birthday, and was happy to do it! His art was beautiful and his pricing more than reasonable. If you choose to get a tattoo here, I promise you that you will not be disappointed!

    What an awesome experience, my daughter wanted a tattoo for her birthday! We were a walk in and Matt was able to take care of her right away. It was such a pleasure working with him, he took her reference photo and was able to capture the image in her head and make it come to life. I fear this was not her last tattoo 😁

    Amazing experience here! I had the pleasure of working with Matt. He took my vision and pictures and made the PERFECT version for me exactly how I wanted it. And it turned out incredible! He was also super chill and kind to work with! Made it an all around great experience.
