I’ve been going to old crow since 2010 and each of the artists I’ve worked with have been stellar. This time, I had the pleasure of working with Karla and I am so happy I did. She was communicative throughout the planning process and so kind, patient, and professional on the day. My tattoo is amazing and I’m excited to work with Karla on additional pieces. Highly recommend!
I've been to Old Crow many times now for multiple tattoos, and every single experience has been flawless. Everyone is so nice and invested in your safety and comfort! There are always snacks available, and all artists are so clean, organized, and friendly. Caitlin is an incredible artist and it's an honor to have her art on my skin. My favorite place to go these days! ♥️
I cannot say enough good things about Old Crow Tattoo and Art Gallery. The space itself is very pleasant to hang out in, so that's a plus, but in addition, over the years, I have had three different artists do pieces for me (sadly some of who have since moved out of the country) and I have been so happy with each outcome. My favorite is this dainty wrist tattoo I had done at Old Crow a few years ago. They also always have a good variety of guest artists, so there is lots of talent to pick from.
Got a couple of tattoos here, one from Caitlin and another from Pata. Whenever I look at the work of the other artists I’m always impressed as well! They have a lot of super cute themed flash days. Shop is very clean and everyone I’ve worked with is very professional. Also I just love the vibe of the place, food decorations, opportunities to buy prints or other mediums of art the artists there make, lots of refreshments.
I got a calf piece done by Caitlin in late 2023, and I can’t recommend artist and tattoo place enough. It’s a very spacious, clean, and nice place to get tattooed. They have hand sanitizer and snacks, and everyone was really nice. I’ve been planning to go back to see another artist there because there’s just so much talent in that space!!
