I never leave reviews, but this place deserves one. I was nervous about getting my first tattoo, but Vanguard made sure I was in great hands. Steve was professional and took his time with making sure that everything was perfect. Overall, an amazing experience. Highly recommend checking them out!!Service: Custom tattoo lettering

The whole staff is great. JR is the best. Immensely talented and makes the entire experience great, with conversation and makes you feel comfortable. Spent many hours together, and have always had a fantastic result.

First and foremost all of the artist are great tattoo artists- however, my experience was a little different I was getting 2 sleeves done by JR. Everything was looking good but I would never get a set appointment after He’d finish a piece. He say things like “I’ll be in touch” or call me in a month” but meanwhile he’s booking appointments for the next 2 weeks and I’m just sitting there, like why aren’t I getting penciled in. I was always called at his convenience and it seemed I had to jump as soon as he called me. He’d call me and say he’s had a couple hours, usually it was just a little section. One time he called me to stop by because he had a cancellation and in the middle of getting my tattoo finished the guy who canceled came in, JR knew him and seemed excited, within 5 min he cleaned me up and said “ we’ll finish it next time” I was there for only 45 min. I rushed all there thinking was going to get a decent if work done, but nope……I traveled over a half hour for a 45 min that should of been 2 hours.Overall I was told that sleeves would be done in 3/4 months. Maybe faster because I had all the images I wanted already. Well it was 9 months and he was 60 percent done. I was spending enormous amounts of money per session, long or short.Service: Tattoos

I got a tattoo here in 2016 on my ribs. Kelly was my tattoo artist. It was painful (obviously) and I winced as he did it. He commented that if I found a tattoo painful I "should never try childbirth". It's 5 years later and I have two children and more tattoos. The kids were painful- yes. But looking at the crappy tattoo on my ribs is my major regret. I've had other beautiful ink from female artists. I would suggest avoiding toxic males who tell you what they think "pain" is and what they think "art" is.

I wouldn't return here unless I had the owner JR do my tattoo....the guy who did the wings on my back was just so uninterested in me and doing my tattoo... I asked for the small wings to be centered on my upper back and by the time I felt something was amiss it was too late...they are about a half an inch OFF CENTER onto the right side... they are also shaded so much that they basically look black.. huge disappointment.

Besides being a staple for creating amazing tattoos, Vanguard has been in business for over 20 years. If you ever want one of one work go to Vanguard. Tattoos last and the artists really listen to ideas. JR is a master.
