I've gotten tattoos from two different artists that worked here now. This shop is really open and had a comfortable feel. Everyone seems really nice and welcoming too. Clean and well run shop, definitely would recommend to others for piercings and/or tattoos! The owner is really cool too, full of awesome knowledge!

My wife has been a patron of A Dead Anchor, long before their current version came to fruition. As a result I knew where I'd be going when I finally took the jump to get a second tattoo. My first experience on my 18th birthday (at a vastly different shop) left me feeling uneasy.
I took the jump, and I couldn't be happier. The staff is amazing, the artists care about their clients, and the ink stays how it was meant to be. I have referred family, friends, and random strangers to this shop, and I know that every single one of them was treated like family.
Thanks Brandon, and everyone else for building such an epic tattoo shop.

A Dead Anchor Tattoo's artists are fantastic. Brandon and Froad excel at the art and can create any design you can imagine with skill and care. Their attitude and experience truly set them apart from every other shop I've been to. Even small, simple pieces or piercings are treated with the same creative and professional approach as any other piece, and the quality of each piece is more than evident in the final product. This is a shop in which you're treated like part of the family and I'll never go to anyone else.

Piercers here are amazing. I've gotten my septum, nipples, and industrial bar done here and haven't had a problem with any of them. Jordanne has always been very insightful and let's customers know what's best even if it means losing a sale. All my piercings are perfectly placed. Would definitely recommend to anyone even thinking about getting a piercing. Very friendly and informative. I like the jewelry used for the piercings at A Dead Anchor Tattoo so much that I wear them more than any other piece I own. Quality jewelry, great prices, precise piercings, and knowledgeable people. I have brought many people in the shop and have never had a bad experience. Absolutely in love with the piercers at A Dead Anchor Tattoo!

I will go to no one else for a tattoo. Brandon is a fantastic artist who will listen to your ideas and troubleshoot with you. He never pushes too far or treats clients like they have no idea what a good tattoo takes. He patiently explains potential problems with any piece and will always tattoo exactly what you tell him you want. He is also a great people person. He can chat with you the entire time he's working which can be a great distraction. He can also read people really well and will switch to an easier part of the piece if you need to recover or take as many breaks as you need. He can also keep drilling as long as you can sit for him. He has great instinct but also keeps improving his talent by continuing to learn from other more experienced artists. He is the perfect artist for your first tattoo, a large piece, something completely different, and anything else anyone could want.

These guys are amazing. Brandon (the owner) is talented, conscientious, and a lot of fun.
The standards of cleanliness at the shop are top-notch, and the work they do is great. I have a very large tattoo on my back that Brandon did, another one on my thigh, and am planning at least one more. I wouldn't go to any other shop. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Okay, first, the picture is of the tattoo just after we finished a day sitting. In three weeks we will be adding white and some touch ups so it is not entirely complete, but you wouldn't know that to look at it. Frankly, I can not say enough good things about this group of artists and this business. Obviously this tattoo means so much to me as I have been planning it for a while and she represents so much of my journey through life at this point. Liz Vonborden is stunning. She is competent and an excellent artist. Look at the detail of this tattoo. She kicks ass. Poor thing doesn't realize she has a lifetime client now. 8-) I cannot recommend A Dead Anchor Tattoo and Liz more. I am thrilled with their great service, attitude and expertise. Everyone there was wonderful and fun to be around. These people know what they are doing. Thank you Liz for making my vision come true and for doing such an amazing job. You are a talented artist. See you soon! 8-)

I have been to a few different tattoo shops around the area. I believe this is the best. Brandon was my artist and he did an amazing job. He was extremely personal and friendly. This guy knows what he's doing and you wont go wrong with him. Also, you wont beat the price. I will definitely be back.

Absolutely love A Dead Anchor. I've been going to Brandon for pieces here and there over the last 6 years and its been amazing to watch how much they've grown!! Always had wonderful chats with the other artists and just overall feel comfortable and welcomed when I walk in the shop. Love the the awesome conversations with Brandon, he can talk about literally anything and it 100% distracts from any discomfort of a tattoo sit. 100% would recommend! REGERT THE STURGGLE!

Beyond in love with this tattoo shop. Breanne is a killer! She has some of the best, if not THE BEST, realism work I have ever seen. Everyone is so friendly at the shop and makes you feel right at home. I will never go to get a tattoo anywhere else!! Excited to go back for more ink.
