Here's What Our Clients Say

5/5
Loved this whole experience. Was worried about finding a good tattoo shop while on the road, and Red Arbor did not let me down! All the artists in the shop: Libby, Mia, Tanya, and Savannah were super kind and kept conversation going the whole time. Great experience from these guys, I will definitely be back!! My artist was Savannah and her work was beautiful! Cleanliness: Very clean inviting shop. Some tattoo shops can leave you feeling grimy but this place left me feeling cleaner than before! Great shop! Stylist: I had Savannah, and she was awesome!! So sweet and so personable during the whole experience. She was open to changes I wanted to make but her personal flare on the design which I loved. This was my first tattoo and she made the experience exciting and fun!

Mia did my wave, mountain, and my dad's mountain and did such an amazing job. She was also very flexible and willing to work with my design needs, as was Payton who did my butterfly tattoo. I have received many compliments on all of them, would recommend them to anyone, and would definitely go back!

Red Arbor set up a fun "Get What You Get" for us!! We got to roll a die and get amazing souvenir tattoos during our trip to South Dakota. The shop was beautiful, had a fun vibe and super clean and comfortable! Everyone we came into contact with passed the vibe check! The best part was Libby! She is so fun to work with and so talented! She made sure we were comfortable and got exactly what we wanted! If I lived in the area she would be my constant go to for tattoos! Thanks Red Arbor for being so amazing!! ❤️
