Archer Ink Tattoo — Local services in Lockport

Archer Ink is now my go-to for tattoos! I found Jordan on instagram and loved her work so decided to book with her. She is one of the nicest humans I’ve ever met and she does amazing work. So much so that three weeks after getting my first piece with her, I saw she had walk-in availability on Instagram and showed up with my mom for a matching tattoo. She has knocked it out of the park every time! She even puts up with all the challenges I give her with a smile, like making her replace a stencil multiple times or my intense muscle twitching during critical linework. She takes her time and you can really tell that she cares about her work and wants to love your tattoo just as much as you do. The shop is incredibly clean (especially the bathrooms, cleaner than most hospitals I’ve been to) and it is a very comfortable environment all around. The owner, Shawn, is incredibly kind as well. I’ve had some very poor experiences with male tattoo artists in the past but Shawn, even while not being the one to tattoo me, is always sure to make the tattooing environment safe and fun for everyone. I definitely recommend Archer Ink and will be returning continuously for all my future...

First, let me say that I traveled from Maryland to get my largest piece to date done here. The shop was so clean and the staff was extremely pleasant. At no point did I feel like a client or a customer. I felt like family. They joked with me and made the painful tattooing process much more enjoyable. They cheered each other on through their work and it’s just nice to be in such a positive environment knowing how competitive the tattoo business can be. Additionally, their quality is out of this world! That’s the main reason I went to see Paisley originally. I had seen her work on Facebook and Instagram and I knew she was perfect for my half sleeve. She took her time in making sure the design was perfect. She has an extensive collection of ink which means my tattoo is colored beautifully and perfectly. I wasn’t able to get my entire half sleeve done during my trip, but I plan on returning in March to finish it up.

In summation, the shop is immaculate, the staff is friendly as can be, and you definitely get so much more than what you pay for here. 5 stars isn’t enough. Thank you Paisley, Shawn, and Crystal! You guys...

I was recommended to Archer and Shawn by a member of my gym who had some tattoos I really liked. I've got more than a few tattoos - had them done at a lot of different spots around Chicagoland and the US and can genuinely say this is one of the best, if not THE BEST, shop I've ever been to. Place is super clean and has a great vibe - people are extremely pleasant and easy to talk to - and the artwork is superb. Shawn did a hand piece for me, which is a challenging area to tattoo, but did a beautiful job on it and even blended it nicely into my sleeve.

I'd 10 out of 10 recommend anyone checkout this shop if you're looking for the undisputed best all around experience in the area.

I'll be back for all future work...
