My partner and I have been going to Key West for many years. A couple years ago, we met Anjy while shopping on Duval Street and stopped by Paradise Tattoos to talk about some design ideas. This was going to be my partnerās first tattoo, so he was a little apprehensive and not sure what to expect. Anjy did such awesome work and made such a lasting impression on us, that we knew we would be back to see her for our next ones.
Now, a couple years later, we were in Key West again this past weekend and stopped in with some more ideas. I knew basically what he wanted and had a simple sketch I downloaded from the internet. My partner was still trying to decide what design he wanted, but had a rough idea and couple possibilities.
What we liked best about Paradise Tattoos and Anjy Monster is that we do not feel as if we are buying a mass produced images. We feel welcome in the shop and are not treated as if we were a couple tourists looking for a Key West souvenir. Paradise Tattoo is very professional, extremely clean, and the staff is super friendly.
Anjy is absolutely amazing, has such a great personality, and does excellent work!!! We showed her our ideas, drawing, etc and she spent time with us, helping select the right design and making recommendations to customize and personalize the art and find the best placement. She took two basic line diagrams and added such character and life to the images, expertly coloring, shading, and highlighting. It was incredible watching her work and watching our tattoos come to life⦠working with a skilled artist to create a custom personalized pieces of art just for us.
We are already planning our...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreIf you want to get piercings, THIS is THE place to go! About 6 months ago I went into the tattoo parlor down the street to ask about a bad conch and helix job I had when I moved here. The guy there was seemingly unconcerned and didn't really care about my questions. So I walked into paradise tattoo and was greeted immediately, then one of the piercers, Ryan got into such detail, he is patient with all my questions and I love that he marked a dot where the piercing would go so I could see the placement before hand. Since then I have had my old conch and helix redone beautifully, along with a new tragus and second helix that I love. They all turned out perfect! The whole experience is fun, the rest of the staff are joyous and welcoming too! Very professional and clean, with sterile needles and equipment used right out of the package every time. Greg is also very laid back and makes you feel relaxed when you talk to him, he is very kind and patient and I've seen so many people come out of that store with smile's a mile wide. I even talked to a lady who had a rooster on her shoulder and she was raving about how he did such a good job!
I am going back today to get my tongue pierced, I am so excited! I would recommend this place to anyone wanting something unique in key west!
If anyone has any questions, just ask! These guys are amazing, thanks to Greg, Ryan and everyone...
   Read moreLast weekend my fiancé and our two friends got friendship tattoos, what was meant to be a special experience was ruined by Rick (long pony tail). His energy was negative from the moment we entered the shop. He treated us as if we were an inconvenience he was rude in his responses and conversion. As he tried his best to enforce CDC requirements of wearing face masks he yelled at everyone who entered to wear their masks as far up their noses as possible, I found it odd that the entire time he was tattooing my friend he was continuously pulling his mask up using the same gloves he was tattooing my friend with! Pretty hypocritical or maybe his choice in mask was not the best quality, either way those actions can't be sanitary by any means. Tattoos are more than just the art it is the full experience created by the artist doing the work. Paradise Tattoo Inc was poorly represented and had we not paid a $350 deposit upfront I would have opted out of giving our business to you guys. The artist who did my fiancé and I's work was great and friendly I believe his name was Jazz (young Cubano) I hope he finds a shop where the atmosphere is friendlier in his career as a...
