My husband and I got tattoos last week, and it was the best tattoo experience. Gnome does beautiful custom work and his passion for art and tattoos is evident. I could relax knowing I was in good hands. The pain was minimal. I've been able to ask questions about it while it heals, and he answers quickly. I couldn't have asked for a better tattoo, and can't wait for another. Gnome is definitely one of the best. The shop is welcoming, clean, and well designed. I highly recommend!

Gnome was amazing! My wife and I were in town for a quick trip and we get travel tattoos wherever we go. It was easy to get in and the designs are great. Would absolutely recommend!

Goodkind is an incredibly professional and clean tattoo shop. Kelly tattooed me for 6 hours in one sitting and was such a delight to work with. His expertise, passion, and credibility contribute to his mastery of tattooing. He truly is the wizard of tattoos and created a beautiful design that captured the vision I had for my tattoo. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking to get tattooed.

Rob is a really genuine, down to earth, kind person. He checks in regularly to see how you’re doing, he communicates well with what he’s doing and works with you to deliver a really high quality experience and tattoo. I’ve also had work done by Allie as well. She’s just as great - her IG lays out exactly what you can expect and setting up an appt with her is a breeze. Allie and Rob work in the same shop and I can’t emphasize enough the cleanliness of the space. I appreciate everything that do to promote health and safety at the shop.
