Don't go there!

Don't go here!!!!! Don't give this man your time or business! Tattoos are meaningful things and he lacks the ability to pay attention to detail and make good judgement. I'm an American Soldier who went in to have a spiked chain around my arm done with a broken chain link. I had been planning the tattoo for over a year and even used createmytattoo.com to help make it perfect. This man failed to add a broken link and a number of spikes on the chain. He swore he could still fix it but on my next visit so upon my next visit he attempted to tattoo me knowing that he was ill, and fell asleep with his eyes open and messed up my tattoo even worse. Adding scribbles and lines out of place. He again swore he could have his buddy fix it. He then tried to have me come back later before his mistakes could heal on my arm to do more work to try to correct it. He failed to acknowledge that doing so would only create scar tissue and make things worse. I was denied a refund of any kind, and denied to see my contract in any way. I was threatened that I had no rights and that he would involve his lawyers. He also called my Sergeant every name in the book other than the one his mother gave him. This man doesn’t respect soldiers that fight for his country. This guy is not a reliable source to get a tattoo from. I feel ashamed that I even trusted this man. Now I'm out $770 and feel ashamed to wear short sleeves. His idea of fixing your problem will be to keep trying to do your tattoo but he will keep messing up and his idea of a refund will be store credit to his shop only after that being where he just messed up your art. He might say he’ll pay for laser removal but that’s a lie since it cost more than giving back the refund to begin with. He won’t admit it but he recently cut his hand and can’t perform art as well as before since he didn’t go see a doctor. There are better shops in the area don't take this risk. Please believe the other negative reviews. He doesn't take good care of his customers he only cares about himself, and not how badly he might mess up your life!!!!
Please friends on my behalf share this post write,
Never going to this tattoo shop!

Worst experience ever

Artist did not complete the work he was paid for, and put me off months to finish. I confronted the owner of the shop, and he said it was between the artist and I, and claimed there was nothing he could do, and became verbally abusive. After the artist finally finished the piece, he intentionally scarred my tattoo, and I will have to pay someone else to fix it. Haphazard buisness, poor customer service, and no regard towards people whatsoever.

Very unprofessional.



I went here to get my belly button pierced on my 18th birthday. I didn't do a ton of research, but I had heard that some people cannot get theirs pierced. I asked the woman if I was able to since I was very small, and she said it was a myth.

She pierced through my actual belly button, the scar tissue and everything. I didn't think much of it until it started to get infected and pulling the top ball into my navel.

I went to Vernos with my dad and Verno told us that he would give me a refund if I wanted and that I could come back again to let him know, and possibly get a new one.

I went back a couple of months later after it healed, alone, and he told me he never said I could get a refund and was very rude about it. I now have a scar on my navel and am $45 short. Not only that, but he was constantly hitting on my sister and making her feel very uncomfortable.

Needless to say, I will not be going back there again.

Unprofessional business

I went here for a few simple tatts but went in with my girlfriend to get a waist tattoo done. Not only did Verno (the owner) make my girlfriend uncomfortable she said when I left the room her pants got pulled further down. I can deal with the sub par artwork, but sexually harassing paying customers that is unacceptable. Not to mention he asked if it would be "weird" if he asked her out to dinner. All of this while I was in the other room. DO NOT GO TO THIS SHOP VERY UNPROFESSIONAL I AM APPALLED.

verno's custom tattoo is by far the most unique tattoo shop I have ever been in. It is very cozy, down to earth, and laid back. Besides the crazy artwork, the artists are super friendly. All of the artists are amazingly talented and super hot!! My personal favorite...Adam Ryan... is not only gorgeous...but he is a phenominal artist. He has done a few of my tattoos and they are very bright and clean. I thought I knew what to expect from a good artist...and then I saw his work and now my standards are way higher! I will never go to anyone else!!! On top of that...hes fun to look at while hes tattooing =] wink wink.

Verno's is absolutely amazing.

I've been going there for 2 years now, 3 out of my 4 tattoo's i have gotten from verno, and i love absolutely all of them. Were actually in the process of working on my next one. The shop has the nice atsmosphere that you want in a tattoo shop. all three artists there do great work, and make you feel very comfortable when figuring out, and getting your tattoo. I highly recommend going to Verno's Custom Tattoo to get a great price, and great work :D

first big tattoo

I got my first big tattoo from Adrian there, and both he and the owner (the two main artists) are extremely talented. Everyone is really friendly, they have a great intimate shop set-up and treat people very well. They're not snotty and elitist like some artists can be. They're ready and willing to work with you on the design and pricing to make sure that you get your money's worth. I'm going in for my 2nd tattoo very soon, and I probably won't go anywhere else while they're still in town.
