Words can't describe how pleased I am with how my tattoo turned out. Garrett did an amazing job. He is a very talented artist. My dog Jax passed away a year ago, and this tattoo brings me so much joy when I look at it. The twinkle in the eyes makes it feel almost like he is staring back at me. I will definitely go back to Garrett again for my next tattoo.

Garrett is extremely talented and creative! My husband and I both gave him a concept and he designed each of ours perfectly! The detail and shading is exceptional and we are extremely happy with the finished product! The shop is very clean and comfortable and Garrett was really personable. We’ll undoubtedly be back when we’re ready for the next one!

Words can't describe how perfect my most recent sleeve turned out. Through the process, Garrett was prompt, professional, and great to talk to about whatever may come up. When you spend that many hours with someone it is important to know they enjoy what they do, and connecting with clients is part of the tattoo…

G is the man. He’s been finishing my sleeve this year and has done a great job with the design creativity and execution. Awesome guy to sit a jam with too.
Garrett was absolutely amazing! He did both my husband’s and my tattoos, and we couldn’t be happier. We gave him a basic idea of what we wanted, and the designs he created were even more perfect than we imagined. We will never have anyone else tattoo us from now on. Garrett is officially our guy! Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented artist who listens, pays attention to detail, and takes pride in his work.

I have been getting tattooed by Garrett for years now. He and Ricky are both great guys and extremely talented artists. Prices are extremely reasonable and the art they put out is a testament to the hard work they have both put in over years to get to this point.

I've gone to Ricky several times and every time he has delivered exactly what I wanted. I get compliments all the time on my tattoos. His tattoo shop is super clean and laid back. His partner Garrett is also a super cool guy and talented artist.

Thanks Joe!! Love doing tattoos for you man!!
Brittany Ridnour5 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Brittany has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Impossible to go wrong with either of these guys. Both Ricky and Garrett do astounding work. Ricky has done 2 tattoos for me both in very different styles. He knocked it out of the park with my super saturated color xenomorph and I'm blown away at the progress so far with my chest piece doing realism. Really clean operation.
Tattooing aside, Ricky is a top notch communicator and super easy to work with. One of most chill, easy hang type of guys I've met. 100% one of the bros. As long as he's still doing it, R&G is the only place I'll go to get tattoos
