I went there showed the guy what I wanted and he took a look at the area he said he could do it. I have been using h2ocean on the piercings and ice. 2 days later I’m in the ER because the pierced area has completely swollen and the piercings have gone into my skin. The bars used were way to small. This piercer definitely was not professional, seemed to have an attitude, and didn’t even count down for any time he stuck me with the needle! Not worth the time nor the money!

Rich did cover ups and reworked my wifes and my tattoos. He did awesome work and the atmosphere is great. Runs the shop by himself and does great work. Dont let bad reviews detour you decision. Hes straight up old school honest business owner and provides honest opinions and ideas. My go to for work from now on.

Rich did such an awesome job! Took my friend and I as walk ins and we had tons of Laughs and he made the process so easy and fun! Price was awesome too! Kudos to him for running this whole shop by himself!

Rich is a great guy, got my tattoo exactly how I wanted it and hes funny and straight up with you. He can help you get what you want. Very professional and even offered me a free touch up when I asked for more detail on a spot. Highly recommend if youre looking for a really good tattoo shop.

My best and biggest pieces were done here. I love the art work. I also loved how far and beyond Rich went to find exactly what I was describing to him. The smack talking made it even more enjoyable the laughing eases the nerves. My son got his first tat from Rich, and my niece got her for side piece. I got great work, beautiful art and a lot of laughs. So if you cant handle the smack talk I guess its not the place for you. As for me I highly recommend it. Go on in and let Rich do what he does best give great tattoos and a smile on your face. Thank Rich.

Rich did an awesome job on my tattoo. We started as walk ins but he took our ideas and came up with some awesome tattoos. I definitely recommend him for ypur next tattoo

I met Denise and out of the 13 tattoos I have she is the second person to tattoo me. I enjoyed her company, time, effort, and performance with my tattoo. Placed on my arm at a great size with very clean lines. I am unable to hardly feel my tattoo when rubbing over it as she was very light handed. Appreciate her work and will return! Definitely recommend stopping by and seeing her.

This old man did a great job on a tattoo for me! Something so sentimental and meaningful and I couldn’t love it more. I love you dad

I have gotten my last two tattoos done by Rich and hes done a phenomenal job each time. He was professional, extremely down to earth and and hes a great tattoo artist. 10/10 would reccomend to anyone looking to get a tattoo to stop in and talk to Rich.

Rich did a beautiful tribute tattoo for my beloved much missed sister on my calf. He is a master of his domain. So I guess all you whiny people must not be used to a strong personality Man

Very clean and professional shop. Definitely going back for my next tattoo.

I’m not sure how this place has a 4.2 rating but all I can say is WOW. The worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. The business owner was EXTREMELY rude & yelling for no reason at all. I don’t know how he gets away with it but he definitely wasn’t getting my money. He does not deserve business with an attitude like that. Do NOT recommend to anyone!! Pay attention to the 1 stars!

Very professional, great work, crack jokes back and forth. Made you feel right at home while you’re getting a tattoo, piercing etc..

I over loved my experience today with Mr. Rich! His dark humor was definitely something I needed today! Thanks for my lip piercing Rich!!! It looks great!

Great work, took his time I’m in love with my new tattoo very friendly people very very clean and a very nice place would come back to get more

Denise did one of the worst tattoos Ive ever seen last weekend. The lines are blown out, the colors are muddy, and the techniques used during the session were unnecessarily rough. The heavy handedness during shading was upsetting for my family member and on top of that the owner was making snide remarks at them for being in pain. They even asked for the numbing spray and Denise wouldnt do it until she was done. From day one the tattoo looked awful and a week later its worse. Nobody in our family or friend network will be back.

Very professional!!! We sat down and went through my options very thoroughly. He was very patient with me as I threw him in quite a few directions. I have never had a consultation before a tattoo. Definitely recommend all day long!!!

You cannot knock this place, just took my friend here and quite honestly it made my day, the owner is an old school tattoo honest, which includes one thing, he speaks his mind, if you take your time, let him tell you what to do and when to sit ect.. Youll get through the tattoo in no time. He may be hostile but hes just being a true tattoo artist (owner) which includes shade throwing. But honestly if youre not capable of true old-school tattoos from a true tattoo artist, (aka some sensitive 2021 emotional person, you probably shouldnt come, but if you got a pair of honey roasted nuts, come check it out, 100% if its not like the hardest thing ever youll get a walking tattoo also.

If it had 0 stars I would put that. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE! The worst costumer service ever, was extremely rude, including yelling and cussing the entire time. The artist (Richard Keel) was rushing to finish and was extremely heavy handed while doing the tattoo on a extremely sensitive part of the body on sensitive skin.

Big guy is super super rude. Just think about it like this. You work hard for your money, why give it to someone who doesn’t deserve it. Just pass on this one.

Took the time to draw out what i wanted, very friendly, made conversation during the process. highly recommend, i will be coming back :)

Quick, clean, and efficient definitely recommend people to go here for your tattoo and very reasonable

Rich is experienced and top notch! He did 3 of my tattoos over 25 years ago and they still look great!

The owner is the most hilarious person ever and did an amazing job on me & my friends tattoos, new favorite tattoo shop !

Rich does some amazing work and I highly recommend going here! Great pricing and he actually puts the time into the work he’s doing!

My friend and i went here to get tattoos, the man there was rude and obnoxious. He was super rough with pulling our arms and it even hurt my friends shoulder. 10/10 do not recommend.

So if anyone is looking to get a tattoo done I would 10/10 NOT recommend fantasy tattoos in Jacksonville. The man who did mine (Richard Keel I believe was his last name) had absolutely terrible customer service, he was rude the entire time we were there, on top of that he tried to rush to finish the piece resulting in him being VERY VERY heavy handed and rude the entire time he had a needle in my leg..... now my entire tat is bruised and I can hardly stand to touch it. If you need a tattoo done go anywhere but to them.

Love this place!! Definitely coming back!

Rich & Butch are the bomb. Butch did some awesome cover work for me about a year ago and then I got most of my leg from the knee down sleeved. His freehand is amazing. Last night I got another awesome tattoo from him. I walked in told him what I had in mind and it was like he could see what I was saying. He drew it up perfectly. Tonight I am going back for yet another tattoo from him. Tattoos are forever and I have absolute faith in his work. I highly recommend Fantasy tattoo.

Scary man.

Butch has done tattoos for both my husband and I. They always turn out wonderful and are never deemed as a cheap copy from someone else. Butch helps you to make a tattoo that your proud to call your own. Rich and butch are both wonderful people and do great quality work. Can’t wait to be tattooed more!

Great clean place to have ur work doneTHE NEW GIRL. 🕊ANGELUQIC IS SO SWEET AN NICE!! THE BEST THAT I HAVE EVERALLOWED TO WORK ON ME!! THANK YOU

Worst tattoo shop Ive ever been to in my life. Horrible customer service. Both artist were extremely rude. Very careless in their work. I will definitely have to get this tattoo fixed. Highly unsanitary. I wanted to get up half way through the tattoo and walk out it was that bad. Way over priced. A mistake I wont make again.

I went to get an estimate on a tattoo.The owner was so rude to me and my fiance 😤 He has terrible customer service.

Butch is an Awesome artist, he did both my husband sleeve and leg piece and my matching leg piece. His freehand is amazing and we wont go to anyone else.

Excellent artist and the best in Jacksonville you will ever find.

Butch is a unique artist love his work and very fun to talk with.

Best dam tattoo place u can go to my dad got a tat from a guy named butch 15 yrs ago and even today the color is still there I got one on my back and butch drew it just as I discribe it sweetg as hell
