Dead Hamster Tattoo

My bestie and I were looking for a tattoo place to get the awesome leaf village tattoo from Naruto! She also wanted some watercolor for her parachute tattoo. We called one place and went there. It was a bust. We tried a second place, and we would need a consultation first. The last place I saw on yelp was the Dead Hamster tattoo besides the fact that he's a veteran and we saw some of his previous work, which included a Hinata tattoo (huge coincidence). We called, and he just had a cancellation (another coincidence) and took us in. The place is COVID compliance and super clean!! They wipe down everything in between sessions. The artist, Ryan Swift, is incredible and a perfectionist!! He adjusted the placement three times until we got the right spot. His apprentice Sara (forgive me if I didn't get your name right) was also amazing!! They def have great equipment, and he uses an iPad for the drawings, and they came out awesome!! They make you feel right at home. I watched the Naruto movie for the first time during the session. It put me at ease. They also started playing the Moana soundtrack, and it was awesome!! We found our new tattoo shop in town!!! Please go check them out, and his prices are reasonable as well!!! Show this vet your support for his local business!!!

This was only session 1. Swift was AMAZING; Cool man & worked FAST! Only person I'll get my tats in EP!! Amazing pricing as well.

Best tattoo shop ever!! I came here with my boyfriend because his old roommate recommended it and it was amazing. Price was really good, especially considering the high quality work I received. Ryan Swift was great with making sure I felt comfortable and was extremely professional, ensuring I saw every piece of equipment opened brand new. He spent a lot of time taking with me about what I wanted and drawing it out with me to make sure it was something I would love my whole life. I can't wait to go back here again, I definitely recommend this shop.

This is the cleanest and friendliest tattoo shop I have ever been inside of! They are so welcoming when you come in, the tattoo artist does AMAZING work! You walk out a whole new person! The piercer does great work as well! Would definitely recommend!
