Five stars, hands down. Two of my three daughters got their first tattoos here and today I got my second. I've been completely impressed with the work, the staff and the process. Rob was awesome with my daughter and did amazing work for both she and I. My second tattoo was intricate and unique. He did an incredible job of brining my art to life. He did the same for my daughter who had a unique piece as well. The entire staff makes the process feel cool and is quick to stop by one another's work to share their enthusiasm. The place has a great vibe and I watched each artist go out of their way

I'm in the design phase of my first tattoo. I did a lot of research into local shops. Folks at Jack's are very articulate, helpful and professional. Best reputation in town.

From the Get-Go, Kenny Brown and his staff were super cool and excited to get my ink process started. Literally the best experience Ive had getting a tattoo. Not only is Kenny Browns artistic ability unmatched, but so is his friendliness and demeanor. I knew right away that we were going to get along great. Provides the perfect atmosphere and makes it a great place to just hang out and be yourself. 10/10 Across the board!!! Any ink I get in the future, I will most certainly be going back to Kenny at Jack Browns!

I got tattooed a year ago at Jack's Brown's by Ike (I have been meaning to leave this review for a while!). It was a wonderful experience. Ike was professional, easy to communicate with, and did a fantastic job. This was my first tattoo and I was immediately at ease working with Ike. I still absolutely love my tattoo. It healed beautifully and it looks just as good a year later as it did on the day I got it. Highly recommend Jack Brown's and specifically Ike Shaver!

I love this shop and all of the artists! I've had work done by Kenny, Tony, and now Ike. Every artist in there is extremely talented and I recommend this place to my friends, near and far. I am in Maryland but I do not mind making that drive for the quality!
