😠 Not going to lie After having my favorite fighter Cody garbrandt use this shop and some of the work they’ve done I was really impressed. Honestly if it’s not the owner of the company tattooing you which takes months even years to get a appt than the rest of the artist are good but honestly not worth...

    Not going to lie After having my favorite fighter Cody garbrandt use this shop and some of the work they’ve done I was really impressed. Honestly if it’s not the owner of the company tattooing you which takes months even years to get a appt than the rest of the artist are good but honestly not worth the prices they charge. They charge rates as if every single one of them is on the owners level and it’s far from it. I did three sessions, spent upwards of $4000 on a 3/4 sleeve and I’m not happy with it. Now looking at it. It looks mediocre at best and I can’t believe I didn’t go to a regular shop with regular rates and get the same stuff with a full sleeve for the same price. Don’t waist your money if it’s not from the owner.

    Wonderful location that is planned to move. It’s more than just a fine tattoo parlor— it’s an art museum of diverse personal work! The staff and family are quite friendly and reasonable.

    I drove THREE HOURS here just to see Nikki!! After having a traumatic experience with someone else she was able to fix my ear and give me what I was originally wanting. She is so professional and made me feel so comfortable! She definitely knows exactly what she’s doing and only uses the best products. I will never no elsewhere ever again!

    The staff is wonderful, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the art these artists do is phenomenal. I was a bit weary about the process of same day designed tattoos, but after working with Nick Stratt I was hooked! This is by far the best place to get a great tattoo and there are a ton of different artists to get that perfect tattoo

    Had piercings done by Nikey and a large tattoo done by Youngblood, but all of their artists are incredible. I have had piercings at 4 other places from Cameron Park to Sac and Nikey is hands down the best, plus super sweet. I won't go anywhere else for piercings from now on. AND to add to the awesomeness, the location is quiet and beautiful and the interior is impeccably clean and elegant. You will not regret going here, even if it is only to stop in and see their crazy neat skull collection or buy some fun swag.

    I had the best experience getting my tattoo. When I got there, the receptionist greeting me very nicely and offer me something to drink. She explain what the process was like and answered questions that I had. Then my tattoo artist, Sue, meet with me and we started to brainstorm on what I wanted. After 45 min wait, she came back with some amazing drawings. Was sold when I saw her drawings. It was perfect. We started the session, took around 5 hours with breaks in between. I got to say she's amazing and very friendly, we were chatting it up most of the session. Everyone there made me feel like I was at home and kept on looking at the work in process and giving compliments. The atmosphere was great and felt the love!! Also they have amazing art work. Very clean too, it's incredible how clean it is. Overall best experience ever. I'm going back to get another one in October!!

    Hands down the best tattoo shop I have ever been to. Clean, bright and very welcoming. Everything was so easy from booking to getting my ideas brought to life. Brenda the Booking Manager is a blast of genuine nice energy. She made booking so simple and made great recommendations. Nick Stratt did my sleeve and he knocked my ideas right out of the park. There were so many layers to this idea and he got everything and more. He was really mindful of when I was getting tired or needed a break. Worth every penny!

    This place is insanely beautiful inside and out. The hospitality was amazing and all the artists in there are crazy talented. Don’t sell yourself short and check this place out. I HIGHLY recommend.

    Piercer won't do children unless they can concent... don't need that kind of judgement, or someone who thinks they have more say than you over your kids! Not your place! And will gladly go elsewhere and let everyone I can know!

    I really can’t describe how amazing everyone at the Skull Museum was. It was clean and bright and SO friendly. Mimzi designed my tattoo and it was everything I could have dreamed of. She was so professional and nice. Other clients and tattoo artists were all talkative and really fun. Got everything done in one session. I couldn’t have asked for more, I would give 6 stars if I could.

    I called in need of a Portrait of my dog who recently passed… but left with so much more than I imagined. Brenda, Nic, Nick and the whole crew are the most humble, talented, amazing people. I hadn’t been in a room full of that much greatness, talent, and good energy for as long as I can remember- if ever. The level of comfort, the clean, beautifully designed space, the people, and the artwork hanging on the wall are all top tier. I originally shared a less than stellar quality photo (it was one of my favorites) - and Nick (Stratt) made it work- to say the least… He is an incredible artist. The time, care, and attention to detail spent on the portrait was phenomenal- I can’t express enough how worth it this place is… My portrait of Bayleigh is PERFECT. I’m forever grateful. This place is a goldmine. Luxury, Yes. Perfection of something that will both heal your mind and adorn your body forever is priceless - and so are the people at The Skull Museum.

    A last-minute opening came up on Mimzi’s Instagram page so I texted the number to see if it was still available. I fully expected an automated message back, but Brenda (the booking manager) was so personable with her response. The booking process was fast and easy. Brenda was so sweet and answered all questions I had. The day of I went in and the inside of the shop is beautiful! Mimzi listened to my basic idea (I wanted to give her as much creative control as possible), and then went to work her drawing magic! She made sure it was sized up perfectly and started my sleeve! The other artists are also friendly and I love how they check-out each other’s work and hype each other up. Overall amazing experience and I cannot wait to finish my sleeve.

    5 star establishment for high end body art. All the artists here are the best of the best. There’s incredible 1 of 1 pieces of art for sale as well as amazing prints. Brenda the booking manager is an absolute goddess of love and light. You can’t go wrong at the skull museum

    This is by far the cleanest tattoo shop i’ve ever been in. I took my 3 year old here to get her 1 ear pierced. The first experience at another shop was not good.. I talked to Nikey before coming in and she made the whole experience so easy. She did an amazing job and my daughter loved her. Highly recommend!

    I had an awful experience at the Skull Museum with their tattoo artist, Rache. His tattoo, for me, was a complete disappointment; the lines were uneven, and the shading was inconsistent. Despite requesting a touch-up, he never responded to my message, leaving me stuck with a subpar tattoo. The customer service at the Skull Museum is horrible; they are unresponsive and seem disinterested in addressing concerns. It's disheartening to feel like you're dealing with con artists who prioritize profit over the satisfaction of their customers. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone seeking quality tattoos or reliable service.
