The younger dude that did my tattoo (can’t remember his name, but he deserves his shine) was awesome light hand and talked to me the whole time. Really chill people at this shop, everyone that wasn’t tattooing talked to me about all different things. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area. Would come back for more if I didn’t live 8 hours away.

I knew from the moment I found Bella that I wanted her to be my artist, and after finally getting to sit in her chair, I can say the whole experience was so much more than I expected. Bella listened. Like really listened. She was patient, present, and somehow understood the things I couldn’t quite put into words too. There were times we didn’t need to talk at all. She would just get in her zone and create, and I could tell she understood how much this meant to me. I also felt how much it meant to her to be trusted with someone’s story. That connection is hard to explain, but I felt it 💞 And the entire staff… y’all 😂💙 What a crew. Funny, kind, caring and beyond hospitable. What really got me was sitting there and hearing the other artists with their clients. The same care was happening all around me. They listened to their stories, asked questions, took their time and were genuinely interested. Nothing felt transactional or rushed. There were celebratory shots, literally raising a glass to our stories and to them getting to be part of them. 🥃 At one point we were all sitting around the table eating together like family. It just felt good being there. Honestly, somewhere in all of it, it became a little like therapy 🥹. You come in trusting someone with your skin, but you’re also trusting them with pieces of your life and the reasons behind what you’re choosing to carry with you. Bella, I’m so grateful the universe aligned our paths. 🌔✨ Thank you for listening, for being present, and for putting your heart into your work. And to the whole crew, thank you for making me feel like part of the family for the day. You all are leaving pieces of yourselves with people every day. That ripple travels further than you know. 🌊💙 Can’t wait to be back.✨

First time getting a tattoo. First time even hearing about this tattoo shop and I was extremely impressed. Taylor was my artist and she absolutely killed it. Very sweet girl. Will give you all of the help, tips, and ideas that you need to get your first tattoo if that's what you're looking to get as well. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for the greediest tattoo shop owner in Port Saint Lucie, Jhon is your guy. Jhon had tattooed a black and white realism tattoo in my inner bicep. Completely overworking the skin resulting in deep scaring and heavy scabbing. After confronting john about how overworked the skin was, he tried and tried gaslighting me into believing that it was completely normal and that i had no idea how to heal a tattoo.(i have numerous tattoos and they have all healed well except his). just beware and realize why jhon has no healed work on his social media. 1/10 would not recommend

Not taking care of a tattoo, don’t make it my fault. I’m not gonna say what you did wrong here publicly because I’m a man and I already told you that once. On top of that, i offered you a touch up more than 1 year ago. And yet you still came and hang out at the shop and never said anything else.

You can tell they truly care about both their craft and their clients. Bella did a phenomenal job — the attention to detail, professionalism, and talent were beyond impressive. She took the time to make sure everything was perfect, and the final piece exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t be happier with the result and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing work in a clean, open, and inviting studio.

Found Apollo through social media and reached out for a cover-up. Spoke with Jhon the whole time, extremely impressed with his professionalism and his commitment to his customer, he’s not a fly by artist just looking to make a quick buck, he’s invested into the process to get the best possible result for you. The shop is super clean and everyone there is friendly and fun. If you’re looking for a cover-up or just wanting to get something fresh I’d highly recommend Apollo to anyone on the treasure coast. A+++ keep up the fantastic work guys ✌🏻
