MAD DOG TATTOO REVIEWS

Glad to see a local business that respects the legal requirements concerning minors! My daughter wanted a nose piercing, so her brothers, with my permission, took her to get it done. Even though I had authorized the piercing, the business refused service absent the parent or legal guardian! I highly respect and recommend any business that operates with honesty and integrity.

Came from San Diego to get some ink. Last time I was tattooed here was 19 years ago! This shop is still as good as I remember and Zombie is a great artist. Mad Dog is definitely my favorite shop.

I had such a great experience with Marc! I use to have such a terrible tattoo that I’ve hated for years and he has quite literally chance my life. I’m so thankful for my new ink! Thank you so much.

Went into the shop for a couple piercings, and walked out feeling like I had been there a million times. The shop was amazingly clean, quiet, and the people working were amazing. I went in for a couple Piercing by Shawn piercings. He was amazingly calm, helpful, knowledgeable, and respectful. Shawn did my piercings efficiently and made sure all my questions and concerns were handled before I left. It was a most amazing experience and I will 100% return! Such a great experience.

Shawn did an amazing job at getting my nose pierced after many years of not having a piercing. He’s the kindest, friendliest and most professional piercing artist I’ve ever had. 10/10. Will definitely be coming back for more piercings.
