If you are looking for that SPECIALl tattoo and that SPECIAL person to do that art on you...you should use Matt Brown! I have a few tattoos from over the years but came across Matt a few years ago, and I will NOT use anyone else ever again! He is my artist!

He took the tatts that I wanted and made them mine to were no-one can every copy them. He put his SPECIAL twist on them and made them my very own! I have traveled to get my tattoos from this guy and will continue to do so! So far I have went to Gulf Shores, Tennessee, and Colorado Springs, from Birmingham Alabama....and it does not phase me a bit! I cant wait for my next trip back to Colorado! Maybe around August sometime I will be getting another piece of artwork done by non other than Matt!!

the best

This place is nice inside and out. Both locations are VERY clean and have a very relaxed and homely feeling to them. As soon as you enter the building you know you are dealing with a very talented an professionals bunch of artist. Austin is my personal favorite he is a PERFECTIONIST when it comes to his work. I have referred several family and friends to him an nobody is left unhappy. The owner kris is extremely invalid in her business very intuned with her employers an customers an wont let you leave her establishment without bein no less the satisfied. It earn its title as best tat shop in the springs RIGHTFULLY!!!!

Best tattoo studio in town!!!

I've had several tattoos done by Shanna, and have received many compliments. Shanna is AWESOME!!! The staff is very professional ( Megan ). There is no need to research any other studio in town. Pens and Needles is simply the best.

Pens & Needles Custom Tattoo is hands down the best shop I have ever gotten the chance to be tattooed in. Upon walking in, the setting is incredibly sleek and modern, and to top that off, I was warmly welcomed by any of the staff I came into contact with. My artist, Xander, was incredibly patient with my complex tattoo demands and did his work beautifully. All the artists were very friendly and welcoming, each coming in every so often to comment on Xander's work and have a pleasant conversation. Although fun, the shop was thoroughly professional and clean, I was very pleased with their high standards for cleanliness that I have often found lacking in other parlors. AMAZING PLACE! Great people, place, art, and prices! Don't pass up your chance to get inked by one of these amazing artists!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!

I cannot say enough about Pens and Needles! First off, it's extremely sanitary, and that's the most important factor to me when it comes to tattoo and piercing shops. Everyone is so friendly and informative. I've gotten my septum and cartilage both pierced here and they both healed amazingly. The environment is very chill and welcoming, this place is definitely a great choice to get work done. Pens and Needles is the only shop I'll go to.

Pens and Needles is the place ...

Pens and Needles is the place to go. A friend recommended my daughter and I go there. Austin is awesome. He did a beautiful job on my daughters tat and I went to have mine done by him as well. He sat there and drew up what I wanted and it turned out great. My daughter and I will def go back.

They are very clean, friendly and really care about their customers. It feels like one big family there.

Excellent place to go for any tattoo or piercing

The people at Pens & Needles Custom Tattoo Co are nothing less than very professional and incredibly talented. Their work space is always clean and comfortable, the private rooms are great for piercings and tattoos that you don't want other people to see getting done. Their work and art is greater than anything I would expect. Everyone is very welcoming, nice and friendly. Much better than most tattoo parlors I've been to. You will not be disappointed.

Ready for another

I went to Pens & Needles Custom Tattoo Co and was very pleased with the experience. Juan did a great job on my tattoo. I went in there with an idea of what I wanted and how I wanted it then got his opinion and love how it came out. I am anxious to get another tattoo and I will definitely be going back to Pens and Needles.

I went to pens and needles for a piercing. The staff are friendly and the store is very clean! Dustin did a great job with my piercing. I'd recommend him to anyone! My husband and I both plan to get tattoos there in the future.
