I absolutely love this place!! Taylor is such a talented artist. I've gotten 2 tattoos here and have been nothing but amazed at how gorgeous they turn out. Place is very clean. All my future tattoos will be done here.

Got my first tattoo with Desirea last night. Love, love, love it. She did a great job designing what I had envisioned I wanted my first one to look like. Took two hours and I never needed to bite on my wet rag, not really painful.

I got my first tattoo here in June and have been back for three more since. Khalid is awesome at his craft. The whole crew is great and the atmosphere is very comfortable and family like. Totally worth the wait!

Happy with most of my experiences here, and Im looking forward to my next tattoo. Desiree is easy to talk to and very personable, which always makes getting a tattoo more fun.

My daughter and I both went to Area 51 for our first tattoos. We were recommended this place by my nephew and I could not be more pleased.. EVERYONE there is friendly, kind and caring in their passion for their art. We had an amazing artist named Taylor. I am 61 and this was my first tattoo and on my bucket list to do. My tattoo turned out amazing and it really did not even hurt to have it done. Taylor and all the staff at Area 51 Thank You for making this a fantastic experience and now my daughter and I are already thinking... read more

TJ Kruger did an awesome job on 3 piercings for me and has the best selection of high quality jewelry! Super clean and professional job well done. I made the drive from Chicago and it was worth it. I'll definitely be back.
