Black Water Tattoo Collective

Absolutely loved the experience here. Julio ABSOLUTELY 💯 killed this tattoo for my son. One of the best shop experiences I have ever had the pleasure of being in. My family will definitely be coming back for more tattoos. Phil has created something special with this shop and the artist there. Not only did they create a phenomenal tattoo for my son, but they created a memory for my family that will be cherished forever. We can't wait to come back for more!

Julio is a masterful artist. He did my first ever tattoo for me and I could not possibly be happier. It is stunningly beautiful. The detail is perfect. He was so kind as he explained everything in detail for me. I felt comfort and at ease through the whole process. The shop was well organized, clean and well maintained. Mar at the front desk was a boss! She was kind but direct and she keeps that place in order. It’s obvious that all the artists have a respect for her and the other artists. It was honestly a fantastic experience.

I cannot express enough gratitude for Julio. I came to this studio to get a deeply meaningful memorial tattoo for my boyfriend who passed away earlier this year. Because this was my very first tattoo, my anxiety was running incredibly high after a stressful rescheduling experience at a different shop. From the absolute moment I met Julio, he completely calmed me down and put me at total ease. He was patient, gentle, and created a peaceful, low-pressure space that made my first tattoo experience feel comfortable and sacred. His technical precision is unmatched—the fine-line script of his name, the sun, and the waves turned out incredibly crisp, elegant, and perfectly proportioned on my forearm. Julio didn't just give me a flawless piece of permanent art; he helped heal a piece of my soul. If you want a top-tier artist who treats you with elite professionalism and genuine care, go see Julio! ☀️🌊🪽

Walked in was greeted by the young lady working the front desk. I had told them what I had wanted. Artist had it drawn up and started laying ink. Emmajo did a great job. I am highly pleased and would recommend anyone wanting ink done to go check them out.

Phil was amazing! His work is absolutely stunning and I would highly recommend him. Everyone there was welcoming, fun, and it’s a great environment to get a tattoo in. Five stars all around.
