What Our Clients Say

We’d love to hear from you! Share your Lighttouch Tattoo experience with us today.

I needed a new tat shop after my last artist quit. I’ve been getting ink for the better part of 20 years. This might be my favorite shop yet. Everyone was professional and nice. Jesse did my ink. I have no artistic skills, I gave him an idea and let him roll with it. Came out better than I could have expected. I look forward to starting my next sleeve at this shop and encourage others to get a consult for their ink needs. Lastly they sell vitalitree tattoo salve which works wonders on healing. Only ever used A&D previously.

Jerrod Lelek

My tattoo artist was professional and flexible with me. He took the time to take into consideration future plans for work I wanted done on me without taking away from his own masterpiece. The shop itself has a clean and professional atmosphere that is also inviting. Absolutely in love with the artwork.

Esmeralda Santos

I got my septum pierced here today. Everything went smoothly and pretty painlessly. It was very clean and they have a good policy for handling customers during COVID, which I really appreciate. There is a good selection of quality jewelry. I certainty plan to come back here for more piercings.
