Dylan did a great job of fitting me in for a decent sized tattoo on extremely short notice. He achieved my vision excellently and I'm so happy with the finished piece! Everyone in the shop was helpful and welcoming and pricing was reasonable.

Adding a star after they offered to touch it up. While it wasn't my intent to get a free touch up, I GREATLY appreciate it & think it speaks volumes to guarantee your work....even 3 years later.
Ok so kind of a mixed review & I'll preface with saying: my two visits here were like 2 years apart.
I came with friends while visiting in 2022 (I think) and got a get whatcha get from the machine tattoo. I don't have the highest expectations when I do these (its not my first or last lol) & its usually a commemorative, travel mommento of sorts. Its one of my lesser favorites though. I don't remember a ton about the artist so he very well may have moved...read full review
For a first time experience, DT&P is absolutely superb. Everyone I spoke to was extremely welcoming and they helped me navigate the nuances of explaining the tattoo that I wanted and the style I was looking for.
On top of that, Jim's work is absolutely fantastic and remarkably painless. He's a very interesting bloke who will keep the conversation flowing to keep your mind off any mild discomfort you may feel.
