Painstaking Art Tattoo Shop is hands down one of the best tattoo experiences I’ve had. The moment you walk in, the chill vibes hit you—walls filled with art, creative details everywhere, and a warm, inviting atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. The shop feels alive with creativity. The crew and artists are amazing, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. No matter how simple or complex your idea is, they take the time to listen and can handle any concept you bring in. You never feel rushed—just supported and inspired. My artist, Tracy Lambright, is an absolute master of his craft. With well over 20 years of experience, you can tell he’s spent a lifetime studying the art of tattooing. He has a rare vision—turning a simple idea into a walking display of art that truly turns heads. His polished designs speak for themselves. This is the second sleeve Tracy has done for me, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m already looking forward to continuing this journey toward my dream of a full Japanese body suit. If you’re looking for talent, professionalism, and an environment that feels like home, Painstaking Art Tattoo is the place. Highly recommend.

I had a sleeve done by Tracy almost 20 + years ago. And it still looks amazing. Which is why when I decided to do a full back piece he was definitely going to be the guy to do it. His art work is impeccable!! His drive for perfection and knowledge of his craft is amazing. I can’t wait to post a final picture of the back piece he is working on. The staff are Awesome! Very friendly, great to chat with. The studio is Amazing!!! There is art just about every square inch in the studio. I will continue to go to Painstaking Art for the continuation of my goal for a full bodysuit. Thank you guys.

My favorite tattoo artist, Bailey, just moved to Painstaking Art, and I couldn’t be happier! She has the coolest flash sheets, and her color work is SOOO good! She is amazing at accommodating all of my requests, and knows exactly what I want every time! I always look forward to booking my next appointment with her, and I know that I will always be walking away with the coolest piece of art on me. I get countless compliments from strangers and friends alike on my tattoos. I cannot sing her praises enough! If you’re looking for a flash piece or custom, Bailey is your girl! Always happy to visit Bailey, and happier now that she’s at such a cool shop like Painstaking Art! (Seriously the vibes in this place are so cool!)

Alex does my piercings and is fantastic!! She walks you through everything to make sure you’re comfortable and is an APP member so you know you’re in good hands. She’s great at giving recommendations and is always happy to help me build my dream earring stack. I love the jewelry options too. The shop itself is full of curated works of art and is unlike any shop I’ve been to. It really is a hidden gem!

Bailey just moved here from another shop and it wasn’t even a question to follow her here. I love her work, she’s amazing when it comes to talking about your vision and seeing her is like seeing a bestie. Her art is insanely good and her tattoos are supreme. I just got this little guy and we were equally excited which is so amazing to have in a tattoo artist. If i had infinite income, i’d be seeing her monthly. Can’t reccomend her enough.
