I havent had a tat in 10 years....I called Island Ave and talked to COCO....she was sooooo very helpful with all the info I needed about my tat....then when I got there....I showed Jim Allchin (Owner) what I wanted and what my ideas were for my tat and he gave me his input and his ideas and it was the best thing I could have ever done!!!! His vison of my tat and the colors are incredible! He has such an eye and talent that is just unbelievable! I will never go anywhere else for a tat again....I have been telling everyone I know to see him! I have 2 other tats from other places and now Im having Jim redo them and make them awesome! I also have quite few more that Id like to get and hes very informative on how he thinks they should be done....if you want an excellent quality tat....go see Jim at Island Ave Tattoo!!!! Ill NEVER go anywhere else!

Pros: Very professional, Very informative, Definatley worth the price, Extremely sterile!

Cons: there is NOTHING bad about Island Ave Tattoo!!!!!

I drive past Island Ave Tattoo on my way home from work, and my need for instant gratification led me to stop in this past week to get my nose pierced. 20 minutes later I left in shock, after MANY piercings over the years I had NEVER encountered such a fantastic piercing artist... Coco is amazing! I left with an understanding of what had just happened, as well as a comfort in knowing if there were any problems She was just a phone call away. She also cared enough to suggest the side of my nose that should be pierced due to sleeping patterns, I wish the dude that did my eyebrow years ago would've told me that and maybe then it wouldn't have fallen out! Anywho, my nose has healed already (6 days) with no issues whatsoever. I only wish that I had gone to Island Ave Tattoo for my other piercings and tattoo... I am beyond impressed with their service and will be going there for any future impulsive ideas! Gold stars all around!!!

A few years ago I got my belly button pierced at Island Avenue Tattoo by CoCo. It never once got infected and healed perfectly! I got a tattoo there a few months ago, and it is absolutly gorgeous. The shading is incredible. I definatly recommend Jim. I have gone w/ my friend to 3 tattoo's there, and everyone he did is amazing. i wouldn't go anywhere else!!

I've gotten atleast 6 piercings done there, and they're very clean, friendly, and above all else, they make you feel comfortable. I've gotten to know Cocoa and she's such a great person and I won't let anyone else pierce me ever. It's kinda like having a family doctor. lol. But yeah, it's an amazing place. You'll love it!

The place is awesome. Great service for customers. The will make the experience fun. The environment of the facility is a personal, down-to-earth sort of way. I suggest anyone and everyone should go there. And they tell the truth. After I was finished they said I would come back. And I am so excited about going back for my next tat.

Pros: Talent, Cleanliness, Great experience

Cons: None
