Don’t get pierced here. I got my nose pierced with them two months ago and it went great, the guy did it quick and it was painless. HOWEVER, when I went back to change the stud for a hoop the girl that did it seemed like she didn’t know what she was doing. It was very painful and she did NOT do it right. I went back again today to get the stud and she was the one doing it. The stud would not go in, she kept forcing it and it was extremely painful. Someone else had to come help her and they realized that she hadn’t done it right the first time and the hole had closed. They had to reopen the hole and it was extremely painful and I kept bleeding. I’m in a lot of pain. I do not recommend getting pierced here, very unprofessional. They didn’t even apologize for the inconvenience.
I had seen CJs work on Instagram & was extremely impressed with his line & color work specifically when it comes to traditional style tattoos. I reached out to him & he was professional & responsive which is a nice change for Instagram. Stroke of Genius is located in a very nice plaza in Boca Raton with plenty of parking & it was very easy to find. I was greeted immediately upon entering and the process of checking in was smooth. I felt welcomed & the shop was very clean & comfortable. CJ had the stencil for the tattoo ready to go on my arrival & made sure I was happy with it. He took the idea I presented to him & put his own twist on it which was very nice & what I requested. Ive been getting tattooed often for 16 yrs here in South Florida & my overall experience was up there with the top experiences Ive had. The pricing was fair & the quality of work was top level. If youre looking to get your first tattoo or your 100th I encourage you to reach out to CJ. I cannot speak to the quality of work from the other artists but Id imagine itd be quality. However, as with anything do your homework & ask questions. Remember in tattooing along with many things in life you get what you pay for.
My husband & I won’t go anywhere else for tattoos since I found Phil & Justin! We both had cover-ups done, my husband got a portrait of our son, & even some filler pieces. We’ve also seen a couple other artists at the shop & are never disappointed the work is always clean & well done & the staff & artists are wonderful to deal with. Will always recommend to everyone!
Hands down best experience I’ve ever had in a tattoo shop. Every single person there was so friendly and made us feel comfortable and welcomed which is usually not the service I get at other places. Our tattoo artist Jayke was absolutely amazing, and Anthony at the front desk was so helpful and funny. I won’t be going anywhere else, love it here!!!
This was a spur of moment thing for me. These guys were recommended from a nice lady who worked in an art gallery in Boca. From Anthony, who worked at the front desk and fielded my call and crazy texts ; to Jayke, who was my artist …. TOP CLASS!! Everyone was friendly, the music was great and now let’s talk about the tattoo. Jayke was kind, his needlework was smooth, and made the whole experience pleasant. After care was explained thoroughly. I highly recommend A Stroke Of Genius Tattoos.
I can’t say enough great things about this shop! The shop was very clean and everyone was super professional! Dave did my two helix piercings. It was quick and painless! It was obvious to everyone it was my first time in a tattoo/piercing shop and everyone was very friendly. Robbie at the front desk was very nice and I felt at ease immediately which was awesome because I do have as anxiety! I would highly recommend this shop!4/24/21My husband and I went in for some tattoos and LOVE them! Everyone is so welcoming! Jacob and Dave did a phenomenal job on our tattoos. Special shout-out to Robbie for the Q&A to make sure everything went off without a hitch. Thanks for making us parents of 2 kids look a little more badass🖤
Jayke is a super solid dude. Took the design i presented to him and did it flawlessly. Cant thank him enough for his time, excellent pricing, and overall friendly demeanor. Keep killing it!
Best shop in Boca!!! I’ve been going to this shop for over 5 years and have never been disappointed😊
Best tattoo place ever! Me and my mom got matching tattoos and Dave was amazing! He made me comfortable and did such a quick job. It was very clean and everyone was very friendly. Thank you Dave!:)
Dave Graham does amazing work . He exceeded my expectations! This was the second tattoo from SOG . I will return and have Dave do all my work . All of the artists at SOG are the best around . You will not be disappointed.
Visited 2 years ago and got my navel pierced, it was the best piercing Ive ever gotten, cheap in price and the jewelry was beautiful and the guy was so nice, tonight I went in to ask for some help with my nose piercing and Robbie! was SOOOO nice and kind to me. 100% recommend this place
One of the best shops Ive been to in a long time. The shop is clean! The guys are talented, professional, and very helpful! And yes their N/A beverage/snack game is strong!! Ill definitely be going back to have C.J.do some more work for me soon! Thanks guys for an awesome piece and experience!
Just got my first tattoo after walking in. It was a great environment with awesome people and i’m so happy!!! It went so quick and I love it so much. definitely go here!
The nicest guys! So responsible and wonderful artists. Had the best experience and will definitely go back.
Byron is an excellent, friendly, very informative piercer. He made sure I was completely informed before the procedure; he made sure I was comfortable; and he explained how to take care of and clean the septum piercing.Everyone there was super friendly, and from the time I walked in to the time I walked out I was very happy. The place is super clean and very awesome. Ill definitely be going back!
I had been looking for a tattoo shop and tattoo artist for years. I had previously been to SOG 7 years earlier to get a small tattoo. I later met someone who recommended the shop again. I was trying to decide what to get and reached out to Phillip on social media I saw some work he did and was instantly drawn to his work. We went back and forth for 2 years the COVID happened. I did see all the precautions they set and I went in he was amazing, professional the entire shop was friendly and I haven’t laughed so hard in years! I truly believe a tattoo is not only art but the transfer of energy you have to connect with the artist. I would 110%recommend him and the shop!! I am already thinking of the next piece to add! He is now family!!
I have severe anxiety and panic attacks and I texted Philip Wolves who was doing my sleeve beforehand and he bought me Starbucks!! I didn’t even ask! He also let me take a break when I needed it and gave me numbing cream to help. He was so sweet and invested in what I wanted out of my tattoo! He helped me calm down and become so comfortable that the last half of my tattoo went by like nothing! Everyone was so nice and the atmosphere was so chill! They are all such nice people and they are so chill and relaxed. The vibes are immaculate as one would say. I am so definitely coming back here for all my tattoos! I trust Philip with it all cuz it just came out exactly how I wanted it and he did it perfectly! They are very accommodating and understanding of mental health which is not seen a lot these days! I recommend going to Philip Wolves 10000%!!! Will be coming here again soon!
SOG is like a second family to me. Their work is amazing, for me they have the best tattoo artists in there, specially Dave.
Today I visited this shop in Boca to get my first tattoo ever. The moment I walked in I felt so comfortable and such a good vibe! This place is so clean and just beautiful to look at with all the art! This experience was so different than anything I’ve ever done in my life and I loved it! A huge shout out to this amazing shop and the main shout out to my insanely talented artist Davey, thank you for making my first time easy and fun!! I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to get ink!!! My man and I drove all the way from where we live in Port Saint Lucie and we will be going back many times!!!
These guys are awesome! I just got a piercing, but will have to go back for a tattoo! Super clean and friendly staff! Highly recommend!!
Overall the tattoo place is clean it’s not dirty nothing like that but for Piercing I felt that I could have a better experience just felt rushed in and out. I pierced my ear and they seem to be even however after getting home and looking they were completely off. The right side was more higher up and the left side was more down. As well the marker that was use to show where they were going to be was still there. After the piercing. It’s the small detail and taking time. Such as wiping off the marker and making sure they are even placed. Not a bad place was very nice it’s just the day I went it must have been a off day or something but it’s just them not taking time and doing those small detail that count.
Austin was my tattoo artist at Stroke of Genius. I got a new tattoo on my hand and I got a tattoo fixed. Austin is a great artist and fixed everything perfectly. Great service and price.
My friends and I were down here on vacation and we got tattoos done by Davey and Phillip. They were super nice and made us feel welcomed. The whole shop and it’s atmosphere is very friendly and laid back. The prices are relatively good and the quality of work is on point. Would highly recommend them to anyone even if you’re a bit nervous. My tattoo looks amazing and it didn’t take very long, wasn’t super painful, and is healing great. Oh! They give you a little aftercare kit and the soap smells like pineapple it’s soooo good!
Ive been to a lot of tattoo shops, and Stroke of Genius is now by far my favorite!! Phillip Wolves heard my vision and executed it better than I even imagined. Plus the shop is so clean and everyone there is super cool!
I went in with a friend to get a tattoo and a piercing, which was slightly spur of the moment. I had had a design in mind for a while and showed the gentleman a picture and for the most part it’s spot on. In two of the areas it’s a complete eye sore. The shading is terrible and the lines are definitely not great. I also had him go over another tattoo to refresh it since it’s very dear to my heart and he completely missed the lines as well. After the tattoo I got my cartilage pierced on my right side. Having it done was quick except now I don’t know how to take the piercing out as he did not show or tell me how to do so. The ultimate seal on not coming back was that neither of these professionals, so to say, told me how to clean and make sure that I didn’t get an infection.
Really genuine people there appreciated them for helping me out. DEFINITELY WOULD RECOMMEND.
I have had such great experiences every time I’ve come into this shop for both piercings and tattoos! Everyone was extremely friendly, clean, and professional. I felt super comfortable and well taken care of in this shop. Phillip and jayke did my tattoos and were both incredible!
Philip is the best. I got a Red Sox pin up girl as my FIRST TATTOO and it came out way better than I expected. Worth the time and the price. Absolutely recommend.
Davey was amazing!!! He literally handled me freaking out so well !! He was fast and did so well !!!Also jake did my boyfriends tattoo and did so well. He was kind and talkive! He loved it !!!
My favorite tattoo shop. I get all of my ink & piercings here. Highly recommend.Super clean, dope staff, great enviroment. Awesome location.So many talented artists that will exceed your expectations. Davey is my go to. If you are looking for a new shop, you found it.
They have great deals and great pricingIf you go in, ask for Phillip Wolves, he is AMAZING with color and design.Definitely my new artistAlso, they have good vibes, complimentary snacks and drinks, and they also have an xbox to play on while you or a friend waits while getting a tattoo. Couldnt have imagined a better spot
Best tat shop in boca
I’ve been going to this shop for a couple of years now and there is no where else I’d rather go to get tattoos and piercings. I’ve personally been getting tattooed by Davey and his work is phenomenal. I love literally every piece he’s done on me and he always exceeds my expectations every time. Also, the shop’s atmosphere and the people are so welcoming and it really makes you feel comfortable immediately when you walk in. The staff is all super talented and just a great group of people, they really make you feel at home. I would recommend this shop to everyone!!
So happy with my tattoos that @jayke_ro did today! He did several tiny symbols on my fingers with really thin, clean lines. He made me feel so at ease, and put up with all my little changes along the way :) Thank you! Very happy!
Love my new wrist addition. Didn’t even hurt but I blabbed through the session. They even gave me healing products and a t-shirt. Davey made me feel comfortable. Highly recommend!
Phillip is a great artist, he did an amazing job! I would definitely recommend him and will be going to him in the future. Atmosphere is very friendly and prices are reasonable.
I have nothing but good things to say about this establishment and my outstanding piercer Davey! I am consistently treated with the utmost professionalism when I go there!! All of the staff are very kind and always make you feel like their most valuable customer! I am always seen very fast, despite the fact that I often walk in, and Davey just does unparalleled work with microdermals which most shops now lack the expertise to do. This shop is very clean and sanitary as well. I will never go anywhere else for piercings and their care as I am highly satisfied with the work and just love everyone there!
There was very friendly not too expensive and the Gentleman Dave did a wonderful job on my tattoos and my daughter tattoo he was gental we are going back need 1 more for now thanks Dave keep up the great job 😉🏆
Amazing shop. Clean personable atmosphere. let me guess your saying who cares. Well thats just a plus. THE ARTISTRY HERE IS AMAZING!!! I personally have had three different pieces done by three different artists and have always been amazed at the work that can come from these guys. They dont over charge either even though all of their artist are A++++. I recommend everyone and anyone to go here whether you are thinking of something small and simple or something intricate and extravagant. Trust me when I say you will be ecstatic with your work. Lets face it thats what is most important. Something you will have to be proud of and show off for the rest of your life. Keep up the amazing work guys.
Great experience for my first tattoo! Highly recommend!
Just got my first tattoo here on Friday. Brittany is incredibly talented. She produced exactly what I wanted and was also extremely professional and sensitive to the fact that I was a bit nervous about the experience. Her work is gorgeous and I cant recommend this place highly enough. If I could give more than five stars I would!
If you’re looking for the best in talent and atmosphere, you can only go to A Stroke of Genius. Even when I lived in another state, I would fly down because they are that amazing. The staff treats you like family, the vibe is comfortable and chill, but above all they take the time to make sure you are more than happy. True artists. Would never go anywhere else.
Ive been going to this shop since I moved to South Florida 5 years ago. You cant go wrong with any of the artists there. Ive been tattooed by Apollo and Davey and now Phillip Wolves. Phillip is the man. Ive gotten three tattoos from him and each time he goes above and beyond. Just when I think I have my new favorite piece he does something even more beautiful. His attention to detail is amazing. I have a mermaid on my leg and you can see every strand of her hair. He really is an artist and puts his heart into everything he does. Every artist there is super talented and you cant go wrong with any of them.
Was referred to Justin @ SOG by a friends girlfriend who has had a good bit of work done some of which Justin is redoing to match his work which is FAR superior. I stopped by and showed Justin a pic of 1/2 of what my idea was. He not only designed the other 1/2 he totally exceeded my expectations for the final draft. Although I had to make an appt about 4 weeks out it was very much worth the wait!! I want to post pic but I’ll wait until it’s finished and colored to do so! I would definitely recommend this shop very clean and chill!! I can only speak for Justin’s skills but if the rest are even close this is a great shop!!
No bs great artist ☺️
I just got my very first pieces, and it was a great experience. It was very clean, professional, and a very friendly environment. If you’re looking for some amazing black and grey, Phillip Wolves is definitely someone you should check out :) everyone in the shop does amazing work and I can’t wait to come back for more.
Came in for a new septum ring and was in and out in less than ten minutes, just moved to Boca and will most definitely booking my next tattoo with them! The shop is clean and they are so nice.
Go there all the time for my tattoos! I’ve brought many friends and they always come back. By far the best tattoo shop and best experience. Everyone is hard working and amazing!
Perfect experience! Very clean with a great atmosphere. The staff & artist are professional, insightful and experienced.Thank you for designing Stephen- Bryon for your help. Thank you for the art CJ and Philip!- connor christen & Michael
ULTIMATE TATTOO EXPERIENCE!!! Stroke of genius is home to some of the most badass artist around, its also the ultimate hang out. Always great vibes all around. Ive been going for a while now, Phillip Wolves is the artist I go to.. and his artwork is legendary. The pieces he put on my body are my favorite and Im so blessed their on me forever. He also has a awesome personality, everyone one there does. This place and Phillip come at my highest recommendation.
One of the best shops in south FL, I’ve been tattooed by everyone at this shop. They are all super skilled at their craft.
Best tattoo shop Ive ever been to and I have been to quite a few. The vibe in this shop is so calm and welcoming with so much talent. All of the guys that I met were really funny and sweet. I came to Stroke of Genius specifically for Phillip Wolves who Ive been a huge fan of for a while and he did not disappoint. Talked me through the process, listened to everything I wanted and came up with a few drawings to choose from. Very delicate hand and fine lines. I couldnt be happier with my results!
Phillip Wolves is incredible!! Such a professional and talented artist. Go to him for all your anime and black and grey needs!!!
Hands down one of the best shops around. Artists for anything you can think of, these guys are beyond creative and take pride in their work. Always looking forward to going back
I had my daughters ears pierced here over the summer and I was extremely happy with how everyone in the shop treated us. She turned one and her Dad and I decided that a professional piercer was the best route for us. Once at the shop, my daughter was upset and crying. The piercer was so gentle and calm with her - he was quick and I really appreciate the effort it takes to handle a young child. Thank you.
Amazing shop.... kool people with alot of talent, not your everyday drill mill. Clean and upscale. Do yourself a favor a stop by before you go just anywhere and put something permanent on your body. Be happy and excited, not regretful!Check out Justins portfolio... its🔥🔥🔥.Art, not just ink!
SOG is so awesome!!! Everyone is really nice and welcoming. Its professionally run and I love how they give you the care goods for your tattoo. Phillip is so talented. He gave me the most perfect tattoo. Im so happy I came here. I will definitely be going back for more!!!!!
My friend & i stopped by on saturday to get some piercings and i just wanted to thank you for having such an awesome shop environment cos i’ve never felt that comfortable somewhere before and it made the whole experience soooo much fun. chill tattooers that speak highly of others & are super friendly, even with people they’re meeting for the first time? so fantastic.
I’ve been coming to Stroke of Genius for years & never have I been disappointed! You will not find a more talented, versatile or professional artist than Justin! I always leave the studio excited & anticipating my next session....
Winner of the New Times Magazine Best Tattoo Shop of Broward & Palm Beach County 2015. Winner of Best Of Boca two years in a row. The moment you walk into the shop you feel relaxed. The place is extremely clean and the artists are friendly, professional and very knowledgeable when answering questions. Weather its your 1st tattoo or your a collector this is the place for you. If your looking for the best in custom tattooing and piercings A Stroke Of Genius Tattoos is the shop for you.
Phillip made it an awesome experience. Absolutely killed the portrait of my beloved cat. He was patient and accommodating. 10/10 recommend.
I had the best experience!!Nice people, clean place, fun and relaxing...C.J was extremely gentle and professionalFive stars!!
Very grateful for the talent, professionalism, and patience of the artists at Stroke of Genius in Boca. Im not an easy customer- Im indecisive and timid and overthink everything - but each artist Ive worked with makes sure Im comfortable and happy. Every time. I think thats what stands out to me about Stroke of Genius... you can find talented tattoo artists easily in South Florida, but when you want people who will take the time to give you EXACTLY what you want (and NEVER make you feel bad about it) - look no further. I am really happy with S.O.G. - thanks guys.
Decided to get my first tattoo here. Overall I had a great experience and Alex did an amazing job on creating exactly what I was looking for. Not knowing what to expect, he talked with me to get a feel for what I wanted, as well as offering his professional advice on how he could design the best design for me. I highly recommend Stroke of Genius to anyone looking for a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, as well as great artistry. Super clean and I will definitely be returning.
No doubt Justin is talented, and super nice. But I drove down from Boynton for a quick consultation. Paid $50 for a sketch that I was to review in a couple of weeks. Once completed, I drove down again to view the sketch. I couldnt really visualize his idea from the sketch without any color or shading so he offered to add shading and email me the results by 7/31. I never got the email. I called and left a voicemail on 8/9 to follow up and never got a call back on that either. Its now 8/22. I had high hopes but was disappointed.
I highly recommend them to anyone! Their customer service was great and everyone was super friendly and accommodating. I felt very welcomed and comfortable there. They didnt overcharge either. Definitely the best shop Ive ever been too and I will for sure be going back to get my older tattoo from a different shop touched up there.
They may be good with tattoos but not as much with piercings. As a customer, I was expecting a better customer service but I didnt feel I was being valued enough. I had to go to another place in Boca to get my piercing redone because he missed my nipple the first time. At the other place they used titanium for my piercing, which healed in two weeks instead of 6 months with what A Stroke of Genius used (sergical steel).
CJ, thank you so much for my 4 hearts and all the laughs! You guys are the best!!
LOVE THIS PLACE!! And Davey is pretty easy on the eyes! ❤️
Professional experience every time. The guys there will take real good care of ya. Great atmosphere and hospitality 10/10
Went for my first tattoo. Couldnt be happier! Such great artists, all do amazing work.
This shop has a nice environment and is super clean. I got tattooed by Philip Wolves and not only did he do an amazing job on my tattoo he accommodated me to feel comfortable and frequently asked how I was doing. 10/10 would recommend
DO NOT COME HERE FOR PIERCINGS WISH I COULD RATE ZERO STARS. Came here to change my nose piercing (which I had done elsewhere and previously had ZERO problems with) changed from a stud to a hoop. I know nothing about piercings and I still would have been better off changing it myself. The “piercer” who changed it was so rough that he made my HEALED hole BLEED for 3 days. Put in a ring that was so small on my nose that it dragged the piercing down my nose making it look like a SLICE. On top of all of this, the worst part of it all was that the “piercer” damaged the tissue SO BADLY and the quality of the new piercing that he put in was SO BAD that within one week of getting the piercing changed I had such a bad keloid that I had to get it SURGICALLY REMOVED.
Shop is awesome. All the guys there are cool and Davie is a great a artist. I highly recommend SOG!
Just went in for my mom to get her cartilage piercing done and they were super quick and extremely friendly !!! Will definitely come back for future piercings :)!
Honestly the best experience I’ve ever had and I will never go anywhere else Davey is the man never been so happy with a tattoo before in my life the whole atmosphere there is amazing you fee at home if I could give ten stars I would!
Skylar did an amazing job. She has gentle hands and I barely felt a thing. Talked to me the whole time. The price was a little over what I thought but It was worth it
My tattoo was done by Phillip Wolves and I love it so much! He was so nice and did an amazing job! My piece is on my arm and my moms piece was a cover up done by him as well, we will defiantly be back ✨👌
Ok. So I have debated this review and will be landing on 4 stars. I got a nose piercing and it was simply the easiest piercing I have ever had done. Just a quick pinch and it was over. The guy was obviously great at what he does - however - the bedside manner was a bit lacking. No names or greetings and I couldnt help like feeling I interrupted his dinner. Before I was even off the table - he was gone eating pizza. So great experience for a piercing. Just dont expect the warm and fuzzys from the piercer.
Stopped by Stroke of Genius today with my wife, and we both had the absolute pleasure of being tattooed by CJ. He was super quick to bring out ideas to life and did an amazing job on both of them. If you need some amazing work done, go here.
Phillip Wolves is the best! I had a lion tatted on my shoulder that my grandfather had and Phillip exceeded my expectations. This was my first tattoo and it was the best experience I could have hoped for. Will definitely be returning to A Stroke of Genius and Phillip Wolves for more!
Incredible artists, cool people, super clean environment, easy scheduling, what more can you possibly ask of a local Tattoo shop. 10/10 Recommend
Me and my wife loved the tattoos that we got!!Alex and Patricio really helps on doing our first tattoo. The shop is clean, the guys are so nice and Im ready to go back :D
I get tattoo by Davey all the time and all the tattooer in this shop is amazing! If you’re wondering where to go get that tattoo I will definitely recommend you to coming here!
Great place and great experience. The tattoo artist Brittany was great and very generous with her time. I was very happy with the art & I highly recommend her and SOG tattoos to anyone!
I didnt get anything yet! But everyone there was extremely sweet and very helpful! I highly recommend going here for tattoos or piercings ♡ ♡ thank you guys! Cant wait to get work done in the future
The Stroke of Genius (SOG) tattoo shop is conveniently located next door to the Rebel House restaurant. So after enjoying brunch with my wife we went inside to ask about the process and pricing. The staff was friendly and professional. Dave Graham, one of the stores tattoo artist, who also does piercings put me at ease so much - I elected to get the piercing right away. It hurt very little, and I have been immensely pleased with the result. Great shop! Highly recommended.* As a footnote: military aficionados will recognize the stores SOG moniker. The business is owned by a U.S. Army veteran and former paratrooper.
Very welcoming people. Great work and at an actually fair price. Also the piercer is not a total creep like most places I have gone in Boca. Will definitely be coming back here for everything.
Tried to charge $300 for a 3-4 inch tattoo on ribs. The sketch was nothing like the image I brought in. NO DETAIL...I left and went to Aces High Tattoo in Boynton. The tattoo artist name Nate was amazing! He drew up exactly what I asked for, with such detail, for $120.
Excellent artists and cool atmosphere. My favorite tattoo shop. Highly recommend Atlantiss beautiful colorful watercolor tattoos.
Brought my son in to get his ears pierced. They did a great job, clean, professional and everyone there seemed very personable.
The best shop in south Florida! The shop is very clean, everyone is friendly, and they have the best artists. Patricio is doing my sleeve and I couldnt ask for anyone better.
