Best artist in NOCO hands down. Couldn’t be more satisfied.
Chris restored a large tattoo from me and did an original stained glass piece. Dude is unreal good - his color packing is top tier. Incredibly professional and talented, highly recommend.
I met Katie at the Raleigh Tattoo Show this past weekend. She was immediately friendly and excited about talking about what I wanted to get tattooed. Taking the extra time to draw our designs (my mom got one too) and she sent pictures to us ahead of time!! A lot of tattoo artists do not do that. She was friendly and…
Can I give 10 stars ! Gave Katie an idea for a custom piece and she created an absolutely amazing piece that left me in awe!

Chris is phenomenal to work with. He really takes the time to understand what it is that you want to come up with the perfect tattoo! Chris has tattooed me twice now and is working on my third.
I got such an amazing tattoo done by Chris with my mom! It was so well designed and beautifully done!
If you’re looking for an artist that makes you feel comfortable, does AMAZING work, doesn’t rush you, and has the lightest touch (barely felt it), then go see Chris! I highly recommend and you will not be disappointed, if I could have given 10 stars I would!
Chris did a cover up of an old tattoo, and did a phenomenal job! To be more accurate, Chris was tasked with covering a bad cover job. His attention to detail and desire to make the finished product perfect resulted in a great finished product. He is very easy to work with, listens to what I wanted and envisioned and…
Chris is awesome. He really takes the time to make sure the design is perfect. It’s obvious how much pride he takes in his work and cares about the outcome of each tattoo. He did fantastic work! Thanks so much Chris!!
Chris is an incredible artist and very professional. I appreciated his attention to detail, his ideas, and his communication before hand.
Had a wonderful experience. Chris was a wonderful human and did awesome work.
Chris is an amazing artist! He did a coverup for me and it turned out amazing. He is professional, talented, knowledgeable, and really listened to what I wanted. He offered suggestions to ensure the tattoo would age well and look its best. Highly recommend him and will definitely be back.
Super nice shop. They talked to me about the tattoo that I wanted to make sure I got what I wanted and it would last! Also this was the least painful tattoo ever.
Katie was a phenomenal artist who took her time to make my tattoo beautiful! She was so personable and made sure I was comfortable. She made the experience easy and really fun. Thank you so much for helping my vision come to life!
I met Chris at a tattoo convention. He was kind, professional and extremely excited to give me a beautiful tattoo. Their booth was clean and organized. Chris was super friendly and well prepared to tattoo.If I lived in Co I would definitely choose Lundquist Ink for my regular artist!
