Got tattooed by Lee, a small butterfly. Went in with another idea originally and Lee was honest about how it would end up, which wasn’t what I wanted. He was kind and thoughtful about drawing, placement, and the actual tattooing process. Sanitation was thorough and done right in front of us. I would highly recommend Classic Ink, everyone was nice to us and just all around made you feel comfortable.

Ryan was just wonderful. Patient and just understanding about a teen getting their ears pierced for the first time. Exceptionally clean and detailed with care/cleaning. Wonderful experience. Thank you so much.

I had an AMAZING experience at Classic Ink. All of the staff was extremely knowledgeable and my tattoo artist Lee was wonderful. Extremely clean, sterile, and friendly. My tattoo turned out perfectly. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Lee at Classic Ink Tattoo!

I was fortunate to have my one and only tattoo done by Brandon. He developed a great design and made sure I was happy with all aspects of the design including size, placement and color. He was very patient and explained each step of the process. He really put me at ease. The woman who checked me in was very pleasant and efficient. I would highly recommend Classic Ink to anyone thinking of getting a tattoo.

Jess did an excellent job at my cat tattoo! We drove from Cape Coral because she was the only artist that I felt could pull off what I wanted. She was extremely friendly and helpful. The workspace was clean and there wasn’t any hostility. For a first tattoo I felt very comfortable and welcomed by everyone. 1000% would come back and recommend :)

Lee tattooed me, a heart with lace and strawberries. He was so great and took his time to bring my idea to life and make it exactly what I wanted. The shop was extremely clean and all of the staff was wonderful. I adore my tattoo and would recommend Lee and Classic Ink Tattoo to anyone!

Jess was super quick and beyond awesome! We were visiting Sarasota on vacation and decided to get a tattoo before we left. We walked into Classic Ink and Jess was more than willing to get me helped out quickly. My tattoo turned out awesome! If we come back to Sarasota I will definitely stop in again!

I am a whimp when it comes to needles, but have wanted to get my nose pierced for so long. I finally sucked up the courage to go in and get it done. Ryan was hands down the most amazing, down to earth person. He made sure to explain everything in great detail and made me feel completely comfortable. I will definitely be recommending him to all of my friends and families who ever want piercings. Not to mention the rest of the staff made the atmosphere so welcoming like you have been around old friends again. Thanks so much Ryan!!!!

My daughter is 16 and we went to Classic Ink Tattoo. Before we came I did my research. We came from Illinois to do this. Jess did her tattoo and she did a amazing job. It was worth the drive and money for the experience. Jess is truly a amazing artist, no regrets. We wanted something different then the regular tattoo shop and Classic Ink definitely didnt disappoint. The shop was so cool and clean and professional. I give it 10 stars if we could. Highly recommend.

Jessica is absolutely fantastic! She is a real artist and was extremely knowledgeable. I asked to change my font size and tattoo position a couple of times before we began and she was so very patient throughout the entire process. She explained everything very clearly ahead of time and the care process afterwards. I couldn’t recommend her more!

Jessica is professional, honest, and most of all, incredibly talented! I had a large piece being worked on for several hours and it was the most comfortable I’ve ever been in a tattoo shop, the piece ended up looking amazing, with perfect line work. She even made sure at the end of the session to check over my piece multiple times to make sure every line was perfect. If anyone is looking for an amazing artist, I highly recommend seeing her!

American Traditional Gypsy TattooLee was my artist and if I could give more than five stars I would! The design he came up with for me, far exceeded my expectations and he did everything to make sure I was not only happy with the design but comfortable during the entire tattoo experience. I have gotten many tattoos and this was by far the largest, but also the least painful (Tattoos always hurt, but Lee made sure not to push it too far and over stress my skin and has a light hand). We completed the tattoo in two sessions and I could not be more happy! Hes an American Traditional Genius :) Also, all the staff are kind, courteous, helpful and extremely safety conscience. I will be using Classic Ink again in the future for sure!

Called to see if they have any availability for walk ins and they said first come first serve . Walked in and they had 3 artist in the building. 2 were occupied. Which is totally fine. But one was sitting behind the counter on his phone. And when the girl asked him if he could take on any more clients he looked up and said Nah.... we literally asked if we can just do a flash tattoo.. they said they dont have any.. cool we were like let us look for some... but he said nah.. they could have made a couple hundred in 30 minutes. But ok cool thanks for being so nice and welcoming... 🙄🙄

Was looking for a good place to get a tattoo that showed my love of comic books. I’ve had a rough idea of what I wanted so when I found a place that was a tattoo AND comic shop I knew the search was over. Check it out!!! Awesome work that’s aggressive without being down right scary. Perfect balance! Artest name was brandon, when you go in... just look for the guy that looks like Tony Stark. WE ARE VENOM 🖤

My husband and I were down in Florida visiting and wanted to get a tattoo last minute before we headed back home! As soon as we walked into the shop Lee welcomed us and helped make our tattoo come reality, he was honest every step of the way of what would look the best and had a lot of patience while we decided on what we wanted! His friendly / outgoing personality is what made the experience easy! I was so nervous to get a tattoo seeing this one was my first one and he talked me through each step and made me feel comfortable through the whole tattoo process! Wasn’t painful at all! I highly recommend LEE! If we ever go back to Florida and want a tattoo we know where to go and who to trust.. LEE! Thanks again for everything!

I got my left nostril done today by Nurse Cathy! She was awesome and patient with me. She was very thorough and explained everything from the process of how, when, and what she was doing along with what to expect during the healing process and after care 🖤. She made me comfortable and confident in my choice to get the piercing as well. I plan to go back once this ones healed and get the other side done also which she suggests is best for her when doinge double/even piercings.If youre reading this Nurse Cathy, thanks again soooo much. Youre the bomb. 🖤🤘🏻
