Rachael provided professional and friendly service, as always. Every time I visit this establishment, I leave satisfied. I highly recommend this shop. Their prices are better than most around the area. I will be returning in the future.

After going here on two occasions for tattoos I will never return, but for piercings I would. One artist in particular was disrespectful, and did not do great work. When I pointed out the flaws he made rude remarks basically telling me I was wrong. My line work was not straight and my shading went outside of the lines. This has now caused me to see another artist to get a touch up done. Heavily dissatisfied.As far as piercings go I would return, if I ever needed another one my piercer was great. Very polite, nice, and did an amazing job.

I recently had a tattoo done by Ray! Not only was he a great guy, he truly made my tattoo experience a great one. Not only did he capture exactly what I was looking for, he even made a minor adjustment beforehand and improved the look of the tattoo! Highly recommend this awesome establishment!

Went there while the mask mandate was still in place, not one of the artists was wearing a mask. My tattoo was relatively small, extremely simple. The lines are wobbly and out of place. Have called there a few other times and the people who answered were curt and rude.

Keith is the best. Were filling in my sleeve and leg sleeves month by month. He has done 90% of my tattoos thus far and will continue to do them. He always knocks out exactly what I want and what Im envisioning. Very professional and extremely fair pricing for his beautiful work.

I went to get my first tattoo of my favorite B-25 Mitchell Bomber and got an appointment with Keith since my coworker suggested him since he got a full sleeve done by him. Keith did a fantastic job! He was super friendly, very precise, and I would definitely go again for my future tattoos. Saving up for my next one now!

Review №27

I was nervous about getting my first tattoo, but my artist Rick reassured me that its less painful than getting an IV. Once he started, I didnt know what I was scared about, it felt like small scratches and was genuinely relaxing. Towards the end of my tattoo I started getting light headed because I forgot to eat prior. My artist Rick pulled out some candy and I felt a ton better. My work came out better than I was expecting and I would definitely recommend him ! I will be going back.

Amazing, comfortable and memorable experience. Chris is so awesome!! Nice conversations and awesome art work. He fixed a tattoo I recently I had gotten and it just wasn’t up to my standards. He made it look 100 times better and then some. Would definitely recommend American Graffiti to anyone looking to get a tattoo!! Thanks so much Chris 😁

Every experience we have had at American Graffiti has been absolutely fabulous. Its been in business for many years .. I have had both tattoos and piercings done and over a significant amount of time( 10 to 15 years).. very easy and down to Earth staff, exceptional artists that r very experienced and so well educated in their art. Quick, always very clean, friendly and comfortable environment. I will never go anywhere else or recommend another shop. They r at the top of their game, absolutely.

Review №43

I have gotten 2 tats here and I am not happy with either. The first one the guy argued with me about making it smaller, its grumpy the dwarf just how big does it have to be. The second one was rushed through by the owners son and he did all the work at the same time, color and black. I ended up getting a serious infection which the doctor said it was from the skin being over worked and it should have been done in two appointments, the infection was so deep that by the time it healed most of the ink in the affected area was gone. I had to wait almost two years to get it fixed and Im glad I found Steve at Inkwell tattoos because he did an awesome job retouching and improving on the original design.

Review №44

I went in to get a very very simple tattoo done, just two words on my hip. It was quick, but honestly I would’ve preferred it taking longer if it meant more attention to detail. The artist that did my tattoo, in multiple parts of the tattoo, pushed the needle in too deep. This caused me more than the necessary amount of pain and also led to severe bleeding of my tattoo later on, which i took care of the same way i’ve taken care of my other tattoos, so properly ( my artist never suggested any care tips to me which I also thought was a little odd) The sloppiness is very noticeable and honestly just looks so low quality and cheap. I understand that can happen, but it ruined the integrity of the tattoo, which was supposed to be a delicate, thin, and clean font. I’m so glad that I decided to get the tattoo on my hip, because at least I can hide my mistake of thinking this place could provide with what i asked for.

Review №49

Great tattoos by Keith. We had 5 tattoos done in one day.we were extremely picky about the placement and look of the tattoos. We made Keith adjust them several times. I Quessing an hour an a half of nit picking. Keith was patient, and wasnt content on starting the tat until we were. I had previous tattoos buy Chris. He done such a great job that I would not let anyone else tattoo me. But seeing the great job Keith did on my Boys (grown children) I asked him to do one on me. He made time and its a great tat. DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!!! KEITH AND AMERICAN GRAFFITI TATTOO ARE THE REAL DEAL!!!!

Personable, professional, clean and talented. Everything youve been looking for. I took my son in with me to have a piercing redone (partially closed up quickly when it fell out.) Rachael even took the time to make him feel comfortable and answered all of his questions. She was a rock star!

So I was nervous about switching tattoo artists because mine moved to Texas but I made an appointment with Ray at American Graffiti and I cant believe what amazing work he did. Ill be going back again soon for another tattoo. The shop has a very comfortable appeal. I got good vibes as soon as I walked in. Also the piece I chose was very detailed and Ray did it like he could do this in his sleep. I was highly impressed I cant stop looking at my new body art. Its that impressive.

His place is so clean and professionally staffed by incredible artists. The compassion of these people was remarkable and refreshing. Whether you bring your own design, pick one of the thousands of images available & tired, or you have the artist help with creating the image for your tattoo you wont be disappointed. They also service your existing tattoos. Check them out!

Last November I had Rick do my eyebrows he said he had been doing this for 30 years and “just did my moms”!My hairdresser asked me “where did you get that scar”, my response guy that did my eyebrows. Wish you could see...brow way too low way too red and way too narrow! Yep it’s something I live with everyday...do not take a persons word we aren’t all honest, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Keith is the best artist i have ever had. I have over 15 tattoos and he has now done 3 of them and more to come. Very down to earth and friendly and very professional. Always takes his time to get the sketch right, fits you in if theres anyway and is a fair price for his work. Wouldnt go anywhere else

Ive come here multiple times for my piercings and they are so helpful. They have a super great and helpful staff. There was one night I went to get a piercing changed and because it was worn down after having it for only a couple months, he changed it for free and gave me the jewelry for free. Its a clean environment and Ive had no problems with any of my piercings. Ill always come here!

Review №64

I have had two sessions done and I got exactly what I wanted and it was at the right price. I walked out of there with the tattoo that I’d seen and wanted for a while. It covered an old tattoo that I didn’t want and required a little creativity. My man Ratchet did just that. He was a true professional and a man’s man not someone who thought they were a rockstar and treated me like we had always known each other. I tried at another place first and I’m thankful I ended up there. It was the perfect experience. And remember to ask for Ratchet he’s the best.

I went to American Graffiti looking to get a piece done and when I walked in I was immediately greeted by Dwayne who was more than helpful as I looked around. I took some time to figure out what I wanted and then ended setting up an appointment with Chris, I have been in a couple of times now and as of now I have had work done by Chris and Ray so far. I look forward to having more done. American Graffiti is a great shop from the tattoo artists to Rachel that does the piercing, I have referred many people and will continue to do so without a second thought. I highly recommend!

This is where I go and will tell everyone in the area to go to. Ive even been to other shops around, this is the cleanest, friendliest place Ive been. Johnnys my boy on my tattoos ...hes been doing mine for years. Ive had a few done by others and love them the same.. John really appreciates his customers and you can tell and its what keeps me coming back. I see some negative reviews on here for timing and the honesty of the tattoo artists but you dont want someone who is just money hungry, at least they give you something to think about so down the line you dont try and come after them. They know what theyre doing, its a great place.

It was my first time walking in there and I was totally ignored by everyone who was in there, they could see me walking around in the lobby for a good 10 minute, at that point I walked into one of the rooms and I asked them about information. Very unprofessional, I would never recommend this place to anyone!

What can I say? I got my first tattoo here when I was sixteen. Now Im on number eight, scheduled for nine and ten. Its the best. John and Ray are incredible. John is dedicated and sorta nerdy(in a good way), Ray is a blast and always has great suggestions. Whenever any of my friends or family want to get a tattoo I refer them to American Graffiti because its clean, professional, and friendly. There is really no where else I would rather go and I am definitely a customer for life. Even had a piercing done by Rach. Shes pretty awesome at what she does too. :)

Ray did my tattoo. It was my first tattoo, and Ray was professional, clean, courteous, and great through the whole experience.

Review №90

I have gotten both of my Tats here! They both are from Keith Page (Chris[the owner]s son. I love them both. he knew exactly what I wanted just by my description. Neither of my tattoos needed any changing from his work on paper! PLUS he has awesome taste in music and has it playing while he tattoos. He has a great sense of humor and will gladly talk while tattooing. He didnt even mess up on my tribute tattoo (which is on the side of my calf [BTW OUCH by the knee]) My leg would twitch badly and he just went with the flow and didnt skip a beat!PLUS the piercing is good too! I have had both my tongue and tragus done here. Both of which have unfortunately closed. I didnt feel when she pierced my tongue. I will be going back soon to get my tragus re-pierced!

I WOULD NOT recommend getting a tattoo here.I’ts been a long time since my last tattoo and after reading the reviews and experiences here, I thought this is where I wanted to get my next tattoo.I’m Really kicking myself for coming here!I could have delt with the shakey outlines cause I liked the idea of what the tattoo was supposed to look like.I got home and seen a lot of outlines weren’t connected.... (easy touch up)ThenA lot of the color went past the outlines....(now outlines will have to be made thicker to hide. Is it that hard to color inside the lines?)ThenA lot of the shading was done so poorly it lost a lot of the detail that should have been there and now it just looks blobbed together.I just hate being stuck making myself like something that I thought I was going to love.What a big let down!!!I kept telling myself.... it’ll look better when it’s healed.After I started really looking at the tattoo when it was healed, the dislike of this tattoo really started!Now I’m looking elsewhere to see if this tattoo can be changed into something I can be happy with.Disappointed isn’t even close to my feelings.If your looking for a great tattoo to be proud of...Go some where else!

8/18(Newest review)Got another awesome tattoo from Ken! The colors are just what I imagined, bright and happy with a touch of psychedelic! Also had the green touched up on my last tattoo. My bad for not using sunscreen enough. FYI theres a pretty highly rated sunscreen stick for tattoos on Amazon for only 10$. Now Ill have no excuse to let sun bleaching happen!Seriously schedule with this guy. It barely hurts hes so good and hes a wiz at customizing what you want. The American Graffiti Facebook page has a ton of examples of all the various artists work.Old Reviews:Only place Ill go for my tattoos and piercings! Have had bad experiences at other local places teaching me the hard lesson of its better to wait on quality then rush into something for convenience sake! My artist was Ken and I know my piercer is Rachel. I very highly recommend both people! Ken took the image I had in my mind and created it on paper in under thirty minutes. The work is impeccable and the image even better than I had imagined.He also touched up my semicolon that was done so shallow in my skin it washed mostly off like a freaking temp tat! No extra charge for the touch up!Just had Rachel do a forward cartilage piercing (helix) and its perfectly placed, only been a day but healing well! She also changed out the studs on my left lobe that just got resized and my right that just got re pierced at a different local shop days before...The end cap had fallen off one of them within hours and after 48 hours of trying the other local shop still wasnt able to do more than /sell/ me a new earring at full price Id need to insert myself. No more messing around AG gets all my tat and piercing money from now on!!
