I got tattooed by Parker a couple of months ago and I had the best experience! The studio was comfortable and welcoming and everyone was so nice. I'm absolutely in love with my tattoo, the fine line work and shading were so well done and it has healed beautifully. I would recommend Midnight Tattoo to anyone who's looking for beautiful fine line tattoos.

With COVID still happening, they are very thorough will keeping things sanitized, extra masks and face shields are provided, a sink to use to wash your hands, and a container to keep your belongings safe. I felt safe to.come in without having any worries.. Absolutely love my first tattoo done by Maria. She took the time to explain everything and made sure the placing of it was just right. Highly recommend this spot, they are all talented.

Beautiful studio and talented artists! I've gotten tattoos from both Parker and Maria and am very happy with all of them. Parker does a great job making sure you are completely comfortable with the design before moving on to tattooing. I would recommend them to anyone!

Parker was so amazing! I was told every step that was happening and she made sure that I loved my tattoo every step of the way. Best place to get a tattoo and best experience! You definitely should go here if you are wanting to be listened to and have an amazing tattoo!

The booking process was easy and the communication was great. Going in and talking to Parker felt comfortable and not awkward in the slightest. We talked about the design and Parker suggested multiple placement options which was super helpful. Not once did I feel pressured to just hurry and pick what I wasnβt comfortable with. You can tell how much love and good energy they put into the studio, great vibes inside Midnight Tattoo! I highly recommend.

I cannot wait until my next tattoo! Everyone is so kind and welcoming. Parker always made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process and so patient with me. The professionalism and accommodating atmosphere was amazing and not intimidating at all. The phone/tablet holders to watch shows was very thoughtful. You can tell that each piece of this business was done with the upmost thought and care (booking, hospitality, decor, website, etc).

I recently was tattooed by Parker in early April and she was incredibly kind and thoughtful, which made the tattooing experience all the better. Her and her wife and co owner of Midnight, Maria, greeted me at the shop and Parker was very informative about my tattoo placement and design. Parker's assistant Danielle was incredibly helpful at responding to my booking proposal and went above and beyond to secure an appointment with Parker. I did my best to be flexible to the available dates that she gave me and ended up grabbing a cancellation spot that happened to open up. I know this is rare since Parker is very booked & busy so I'm grateful that there was clear communication between us and my expectations were exceeded! The shop was very clean and beautiful, and Parker had different sizes of my design ready and offered to move the placement around to see what best fit with my current sleeve of tattoos which was so nice. She also had an iPad with movies to watch to distract from the tattoo pain, so watching Twilight and Harry Potter made the experience 10x better. Chas, another shop mate at Midnight, came in and greeted me kindly and the whole vibe of the shop was very calm and comfortable. At the end of the day, you are paying for the experience and forever art on your body, and the artists here do their very best to accommodate to their ability with sliding scales, availability, and extra perks so I'm glad I waited to get booked with Parker.

Iβve gotten two beautiful tattoos done by Maria, who was extremely straightforward with booking, the process once I was there, placement, etc. She was not intimidating at all, super sweet, and considerate during the whole tattoo process. Both her and Parker were very welcoming and made me feel comfortable. They are both so insanely talented, and they put so much effort in their studio appearance and vibe - itβs an incredible space. I want to get so many more and this is the only place I want to go to!! π Thanks for my cute lilβ deer and butterfly, Maria!

Maria was such a delight to work with and Iβm so thankful I got in her books! I got one of her butterfly flash pieces in August 2021. Her booking process was easy to navigate. Once I was booked, she sent very clear instructions for how to find the studio, parking, aftercare directions, etc.
During my session I asked for a small design alteration, and Maria made the change for me no problem. I was really nervous about asking for the change, and she made me feel validated and comfortable about it. She also prepared many stencils for me so I could visualize different sizes and placement options. I went bigger than I originally thought I would, but Iβm glad I did! The little details pop so much more this way!
The tattooing portion of the appointment was easy breezy! Maria put a lot of effort and care into my piece!! She was very fun to talk to and we had a really good conversation. She also let me take breaks when I needed them and never made me feel bad about it. She also took the time to answer my questions about tattooing in general (tattooing techniques, how she started tattooing, etc), and it was really interesting to learn about that from her while I got my piece.
Overall, 15/10 recommend Maria for your next tattoo!!! This review ended up way longer than I meant it to be but I feel like thatβs a testament to how great of an experience I had :)
I canβt wait to add onto this arm with Parker in a few weeks!! Really looking forward to what Iβve been affectionately calling my βMidnight half sleeveβ π€π€

This was hands down the best tattoo experience Iβve ever had. I managed to snag a last minute appointment with Parker for a pet portrait with florals and she was so kind and accommodating! She even let my pup come into the studio while I was getting tattooed! Parker was patient and allowed me to take breaks when needed - she even had movies available for me to watch! Both Parker and Maria were warm, friendly and incredibly professional. I already canβt wait to get another tattoo from these awesome artists! Thanks again for such an amazing experience!
