Welcome Stranger Tattoo

Highly recommend this studio! I walked into Welcome Stranger a few days after an unpleasant experience at another local shop that resulted in me not getting a tattoo. Nacho took the time to speak to me and recommended Thomas for the piece I was describing. A few weeks later and I now have my first tattoo ever, a gorgeous mermaid and anchor that is a perfect tribute to the guys I stood watch with in the Navy. Thank you so much Thomas and Nacho!

I had breast cancer and had a bilateral mastectomy. From the moment I knew that I would hav breast reconstruction, I began researching tattoos that would cover my scars. Although I knew that no one would see them except my husband and I, it was important to me. I didn't want that reminder every time I looked in the mirror. I found Nacho through a referral from a referral. We had a consultation and I was immediately confident that she would give me exactly the tattoos that I wanted. I showed her pictures of the style I wanted and then I found a picture of tropical hibiscus flowers that I loved. On tattoo day, she had drawn 2 designs and I picked the one that I liked best. I was given the option of doing it all in one day or breaking it into two. I was so determined and had looked forward to it for so long, that I opted to do it all that day. I have to say that I could not be happier with my tattoos! The are so gorgeous and totally cover my scars! Nacho is very caring and empathetic. This was one of the last steps in a very difficult and emotional healing process. Nacho was the perfect person for this step of my journey. She is a truly gifted artist!

Solid tattoo studio with great energy. I had an appointment here with Jackson for a tattoo on my leg and I really love the piece he created for me. My artist was professional, kind, and lighting fast! The shop it self is unique and clean with a large open space that doesn't feel cramped. Everyone was nice from greetings to goodbye's and I will totally come back again.

I have been going to welcome stranger and specifically Rob Westphal for a few months now and have had a fantastic time there. The owner Andy makes the space very fun and inviting with the artists he invites to his space and just the overall vibe of the shop. Definitely one of a kind and will be going back over and over

As a woman, I have encountered uncomfortable situations at tattoo shops but not at Welcome Stranger. Andy was super friendly and professional. He’s an excellent artist and gave me the best tattoo! The shop even provides free Topo Chico which I think is such a nice touch. I can’t wait to go back for more tattoos!!
