I have gotten 7 different tattoos at Proton. I have known Jon and Chris for many years because we grew up blocks from each other. The quality is amazing and the price is spectacular!! Great artists doing great work and I will always get my tattoos from someone at Proton.

My father passed away, very quickly after being diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in 2017. I went into Proton the day after my dad’s funeral, with fingerprints of my dad’s. The tattoo artists there were very honest with me, letting me know that they would tattoo his fingerprints on me. However they did let know that I would not be happy with the tattoo over time. That it could fade and stretch over time, so it would no longer look like my father’s fingerprints. I was heartbroken. After some thought, I decided on a wave tattoo across my upper shoulders, to represent all that wonderful memories of spending time with my father near / or in water. My tattoo is beautiful. It also has my dad’s bday were the wave begins and the date of his death were the wave ends. I am forever grateful for the honest, professionalism, and respect that everyone at Proton showed me that day. Adding to that sentiment, my daughter got her first tattoo Proton, which was a replication of a rose from my dad / her grandfather’s funeral. Again the staff at Proton were kind, honest, and her tattoo is perfect! Thank you for Proton Tattoo for two awesome tattoos in memory of my dad.

I have gotten a couple of tattoos at Proton before I moved out of state. The shop is clean, staff is friendly and knowledgeable and they gave me art that I’m proud of. Chris did an excellent job giving me a memorial portrait of my Grandmother. I love it! I would highly recommend them!

The best and only place I will get a tattoo. The staff is amazing, helpful, talented, and everyone’s personalities flow so well together. The shop is always spotless and well sanitized. There is no detail left unturned, we love Proton!

I’ve gotten several pieces done from Chris and one from Jon. Excellent work and always a pleasurable experience. Go get something cool and original at Proton.

I saw Mike for my nose ring and a week later I went back to see April for my first tattoo. Now I'm filling my sleeve and this is my favorite place to go. So friendly and so willing to work with all their clients! Happy they were able to move to a bigger space to continue to grow!

Got two of my favorite tattoos at this shop,my grim reaper blowing bubbles, and mother nature making ghosts. I came in with some what of a idea on what i wanted and left with super badass tattoos each time. They where so helpful and friendly. And didn't get mad when i asked to change things ( i have experienced that with other shops). would highly recommend! Very chill atmosphere with very cool artists.

I’ve wanted tattoos for as long as I could remember and as soon as I turned 18 I decided to go to my local tattoo shop Proton.. I knew a guy named Chris May who participated on Ink Master owned it so his team had to be crazy, I was greeted by Jeffery who gave me 3 out of the 7 tattoos I currently have. Jeffery, Dustin, and Grant gave me my tattoos there and I couldn’t have loved the environment more, they’re all such cool guys and Proton is the place to go!!💉

Love Proton and their staff, there are plenty of tattoo places closer to home but it is worth the drive to Proton, they have done 3 of my tattoos and will be doing the rest as well. Picture is of my most recent in fall 2022

I’ve had five tattoos done at Proton, and every experience has been great. The atmosphere is always comfortable, and the artists always take time to listen and discuss ideas. The artwork has always been top notch, and I have always felt so welcome.
