“My son went for his first today. Caleb was so patient and amazing with him. Highly recommended!“
“Top notch work at 412inkd. I cannot say enough good things about Israel and his work. I’m newer to town and needed a slick cover up in difficult spot. Israel took his time getting the placement just right which is huge bc hastiness leads to sloppiness. He made sure I was comfortable, and you can tell he definitely takes pride in his art. I am beaming over my new tattoo. 10/10 will be going back! Clean lines, beautiful work. I’m very happy. Thank you again Israel.“
“I just recently got my first tattoo here and it was amazing! They made me feel welcomed and very safe! All of the artist were extremely nice
Requested style: Something that meant something to me my mothers birthday and a bible verse that we love!“

“Super sick location in Lawrenceville! Followed my girl Ari here and I am so glad this is her new home. Free parking around the area and plenty of places to stop after your tattoo.
Ari does amazing work - I get compliments every day.
If you’re not here you’re missing out!!!“

Would recommend this place over and over again.“

“Alan has been my go-to tattoo artist for the past few years, and I can't recommend him highly enough. His skill and creativity are outstanding, making every piece a true work of art. Whether I come in with a detailed idea or just a rough concept, Alan always brings it to life beautifully. He's incredibly easy to talk to, making the entire process comfortable and enjoyable. Alan’s ability to either collaborate on my ideas or come up with his own unique designs shows his versatility and dedication to his craft. Working with Alan has always been a fantastic experience, and his friendly, approachable nature just adds to his excellence as an artist. If you're looking for someone who can deliver top-notch tattoos and provide a great overall experience, Alan is your guy.“
“I got my first tattoo here. To sum it up, I couldn't have found a more comfortable space to be. They genuinely care for you as a person and do their job efficiently and even give aftercare instructions. My tattoo came out way better than I even expected and had a deep convo with my artist, Justun, for 4 hours. Highly recommend in all areas.“
“Best place to go when you need inked, I travel in from Columbus OH, several times a year for my sessions, you won't find better anywhere else. Go see Rick and Shakey“
“This is a long read but let me tell you why I love going to Kindred Spirit!! The first time I went in was a few months ago with my husband, who had urged me to go for a consultation and see the shop for myself. He had just gotten a tattoo with Mik (it was a custom tribute to our dogs' two favorite toys) and was really happy with Mik's work and his experience there, and he talked about how cool the space was and guaranteed that I would love it there, too. He knew that I needed to find a tattoo shop that I could trust and where the general environment was really chill and inviting, and I'd had nothing but bad experiences with all of my past tattoos (and couldn't wait to leave their shops once I was done) so I was reluctant to give anyone else a chance. In my case, I had been searching for a talented artist that was willing and able to do a rework of the atrocity that was covering most of my right arm; I'm talking about the Birth of Venus tattoo that I'd wanted for almost 20 years! When I finally worked up the nerve to get it, it ended up looking more like "birth of a neanderthal"! I've been so embarrassed about it for the past 6 years since getting it done, and that was an awful feeling. I'd had two sessions on it previously (tattoo shops in Austin, where we just moved from), and the artists were both from reputable shops, but they obviously did not have the skill or the artistic knowledge to pull off their own renditions of the classic Botticelli piece. I realized only when it was too late that I had been asking a lot and didn't properly vet their work, and now I needed to find a niche artist who also had art education or who maybe knew how to paint in order to understand what to do differently from here. Miraculously, Mik was that niche tattoo artist that I was looking for! She had studied art formally and also enjoyed painting on her own, and she knew this piece very well from her classes. Not only that, but she was excited and confident to take on the challenge of this rework! She was so validating and kind, and I immediately trusted her and felt safe in her expertise based on just the consultation. Also, this was the coolest and most beautiful tattoo shop that I'd ever seen, and I wouldn't mind spending all day in there! I left a $50 deposit with Mik and made an all-day appointment for a rework session. My first appointment was 6 hours long, and I was welcomed by the whole shop when I got there. I was invited to sit on the plush velvet sofa while every artist there collaborated on ideas for the rework before we began. It was only when I felt really excited and comfortable about the new decisions and colors that Mik started to make the preliminary drawings on my arm. I left that day feeling so good about our progress, and the fun and deep conversations that I had with Mik and the rest of the artists and patrons throughout the day. I couldn't wait to go back! Mik has just the right amount of pressure and I was surprised that I was able to withstand so many hours in the chair. It took 3 sessions and about 13 hours total, but as of yesterday, Venus is complete! People have been stopping me to say how beautiful it is; something that would have never happened before. A rework like this can be truly life changing, and there is no other way I would describe it! Over the past 2 months, I've been to Mik for one other small rework and one touch up on another small tattoo that I had. Every time I go in, I look forward to it and I always leave feeling happy and in good spirits. The owners, Bonnie and Kristin, are so knowledgable and they've done a fantastic job at creating a community of talented artists in a beautiful space. Bonnie's dachshund, Gilbert, is usually there too and he likes to cuddle on the couch with clients or sometimes watch whatever movie is streaming. Worms and Tara are 2 other artists who my husband has gotten work from and I love chatting with them, too. This shop is an incredible "third place" in the community, and “

“Jason is such a cool guy and stellar tattoo artist! I found him after searching for someone who I could feel confident about their line work and ability to punch in color. I had never been inked and went in terrified. Yep, I found myself hyperventilating but I sat for the process because I knew the finished product would be something worth the pain (I’m a weenie, Jason isn’t heavy handed or anything). Also, to anyone with melanated and darker complexions, I can attest that Jason produces legible and beautifully saturated works. Thank you again, Artisan!“
“Not knowing that I needed an appointment I showed up to the shop, so it was closed and I made a phone call. Went to voicemail but within 2 minutes Sean called me back. Within an hour I was in the shop. The work that Sean did was above and beyond. It's a memorial piece and a portrait as well and I had some significant alterations that I wanted done to it. It was absolutely no problem for him. I'm headed back Monday to get it finished up. I would 100% recommend Sean to anyone looking for some ink.“
“I absolutely loved the environment of the place and An- my tattoo artist was absolutely incredible. Her work is stunning and produced the best tattoo I could’ve asked for. Huge thank you to her and check her out on Instagram!“
“Got my first tattoo there a few months back and could not be happier with result! All artist super friendly and helpful. Will recommend to anyone looking for one in future.“
“I’ve been coming here for a while now and this place, especially Jake, never disappoint! I have gotten both simple and beautiful pieces done here by Jake and not only does he do a fantastic job, he is very affordable as well. This has by far been the best shop/artist I have ever gotten a tattoo from and I definitely recommend this place to those looking for a forever artist.“
“All of the staff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome. The shop is very clean. SaraEve is absolutely amazing. She’s very talented and truly cares about your experience. She makes you feel like you truly matter as a customer. She takes her time with you and I will definitely be going back! I went to her for a cover-up on a tattoo I got 20 years ago. I gave her ideas of what I wanted and saw the design the day I went, it was perfect! I get so many compliments on it
