    What an amazing experience at Skin Kitchen!! From the warm greeting at the front door by Melanie to the tour of the shop. Such a great crew, Jimmy St John is doing an excellent job on my forearm! I would give these guys and gal more than 5 stars if I could! Also great to see the artists complementing each other’s work. Thanks again, I’ll be back for sure.

  • I love each time I step into this shop! Tina at the front desk is super nice and Wes is awesome! He ALWAYS does the best on my tattoos each time. And while I’ve never had Jack work on a tattoo, he’s also a pretty cool dude!

  • Joseph DeLateur

    Love these guys just got my 3rd tattoo and it's great. Fun ppl to be around and very good customer service would recommend to all my friends. I'm also the 4th member of my family to go there and we all love jack. And Westley is amazing as well love his personality very  
    easy to get along with.


     

  • If you are looking for a tattoo artist; go see Jack Lowe at Skin Kitchen! An amazing artist who takes great pride in all his work and excels at what he does. Great shop very clean with Awesome staff. Highly recommended 15-year customer and counting!

  • With the passing of my mom, I wanted to get something in her honor. They got me in right way with short notice so I had it done before the funeral. Thank you very much!

  • I’ve been going to Jack for 20+ years. There’s no one like Jack. His vision comes alive through his art. Awesome shop, awesome people. I love that I give Jack my ideas and he makes them come to life!  Love my tats from Jack!!!

  • Jack is the man! He's done a cover-up, he's fixed another tattoo that was messed up and did an awesome portrait on my shoulder of my kids. I recommend all my friends to see him.

  • Skin Kitchen is the best ink shop in town. I’ve had 3 pieces done by Jack; his creativity & talent are unmatched. The new location is fantastic - it has an amazing vibe too. Highly recommended!

  • My friend and I are visiting from Illinois & decided to get matching tattoos. Wow, this was the best experience we've ever had. The staff was amazing and made us feel comfortable. & our tattoos came out great.
    10/10 would recommend to a friend

  • I have been a customer for over eighteen years. Been tattooed at all three Skin Kitchen locations over the years. I've had work done several different places and always end up coming back to Skin Kitchen! (Sucks when it's to improve another shop's work but shoulda just had my female ass in the Kitchen all along! Lol) I highly recommend Skin Kitchen. Jack has always had the best artists available and I'm beyond impressed with Westley. Westley is much more than just a 'pretty face' at Skin Kitchen! Thanks again, guys. Keep up the good work.

  • I got my first tattoo here. The staff is amazing. this is the only place my family will go to, to get a tattoo. We drive an hour just to see them. They made getting my first tattoo a breeze. I was terrified but they made me feel at home. So thanks, guys!!

  • The staff is fantastic! Professional, yet personable. Lono did some work for me and I love it! Already talked to him about another piece here in the near future! Skin Kitchen has a new repeat customer!!! Highly recommend!!!

  • If you are wanting a quality tattoo with an artist who is an absolute professional, listens to your ideas on your tattoo and is beyond talented, then I highly recommend Jack the owner of Skin Kitchen. Yesterday, I had the amazing opportunity of having Jack correct my half sleeve, as well as, add so much more detail to it. I am so in love with the work and will never have another tattoo artist work on me again, he truly is the best!

  • Jack is the man. Super happy with every tattoo he has ever done for me!

  • My friend & I are visiting from Illinois & decided to get matching tattoos. We had an amazing experience! The staff made us feel comfortable & our tattoos came out great! Thanks for all of the food recommendations! Can't wait to come back next year.
    10/10 would recommend to a friend.

  • Great crew and Jack is an amazing artist! If I want a tat of any detail, I don't trust it to anyone else.

  • Awesome shop and talented artists. My wife and I have gotten several tattoos from them. Have always gotten a better tattoo than what we even expected. Anybody looking to get an amazing tattoo should check them out.

  • My first tattoo from Jack was a memorial tat for my mother ...It was more than I could ever have imagined !! He's the best !!!

  • The customer service was excellent. The artists were all friendly and willing to help each other out to make sure the end result is top notch. The Artist the did my tattoo was super friendly and make up a beautiful design for me. Would definitely recommend you get your tattoos here!

  • All my tattoos have been either done or redone by jack and the team at skin kitchen.  I live in Phoenix,  AZ now but I haven't been able to trust my skin/art to any other shop!

  • The only place to consider for Ink! I've been going here for over 17 years. Always a great experience.
