This studio is absolutely stacked with talented artists.Mark Kalinsky recently started work on a tattoo that I have been dreaming about getting for years, and I can't express just how satisfied I am with his work. Immaculate.If you're on the fence about getting a tattoo from any of the artists here, just do it. I've been tattooed in studios from CA to Tokyo, and this place is truly world class.

I've had 3 beautiful tattoos done by Mel! Her designs, color work, vibes, and book recommendations are always incredible. After getting one of her flash designs, I asked her to draw a similar piece, and I think they compliment each other wonderfully. Mel is great at bringing your vision to life and working together to modify a design exactly how you want it.

Lillith is incredible. I'm very sensitive to pain after an injury and she was so incredibly patient and helpful. My tattoo turned out beautiful. There were two receptionists up front and unfortunately I can't recall their names, but they we're very hospitable as were all staff members. Great decor, vibes, and art.

Working with Melissa on a botanical tattoo was a dream. I had a specific plant I wanted, based on a picture from my garden, and she transformed it into the most beautiful art. So happy with the result!

I got the opportunity to work with Mel Perlman on a back piece to honor my dogs. She was kind, listened to my many ideas, and came up with an amazing piece. During the tattoo itself she was amazing and gave me a piece that I am so honored to have. Mel is absolutely fantastic!

I’ve gotten multiple tattoos here with multiple artists. Each one is professional and maintains an exceptionally clean work station. I’ve been happy with each artist and tattoo. Highly recommend.

I had the opportunity to work with Matt Perlman at Ink and Dagger for my first tattoo, and I could not have asked for a better experience.Matt was professional from start to finish and made the entire process feel seamless; from our initial consultation, through the design process, and during the tattoo session itself.He gave me space to explain the symbolism and personal meaning behind the piece. He took those ideas and created a design that exceeded my expectations. The final result captured everything I hoped for and more.During the tattoo session, Matt was patient, communicative, and created a comfortable environment throughout the day. As a first-time client, sitting for a large piece (about seven hours); I felt supported with plenty of opportunities to stretch, hydrate, and take breaks as needed.Matt is one-of-a-kind artist, whose talent extends far beyond tattooing. The artwork speaks for itself, but his professionalism, creativity, and ability to make the experience feel personal are next level.If you’re looking for an artist who is not only incredibly skilled, but genuinely invested in creating a meaningful experience; I highly recommend working with Matt.I’ll absolutely be returning to work with him and the entire Ink and Dagger team on future projects.

I haven’t gotten a tattoo in a while and this was my first time at Ink and Dagger. Any anxious feelings were immediately wiped away when we were treated by the friendliest guy at the desk, Josh. We had to wait a little, he chatted with us while we did. He has an infectious smile and was so kind, it made us feel completely welcome.Lilith was my tattoo artist and was equally as wonderful.Highly recommend - clean, cool vibes place. Can’t wait for the next one!

I've gone to Cortney Norton for 2 tattoos now, and I'll be back as often as I can afford it! She's great - amazing artist, works fast AND gently, and takes the time to get a concept right. I came in with a bunch of disparate ideas and she translated them into truly breathtaking work.Shop is clean, parking is so easy, the other artists seem really cool, and scheduling/checkout are painless. Great selection of snacks. It's a fun, quirky environment that feels genuine. They can have all my skin as far as I'm concerned!.

I have now gotten three pieces done at this shop by the incredible Lilith Jacobs. All three have turned out incredible and I cannot say enough good things about Lilith. She is an absolute artist and if you want a piece, I highly recommend her. The staff as a whole, from the front desk to the management to the other artists are a joy to interact with. The decor is amazing and feels like a space where artists are free to be themselves. Make sure you schedule for when they're playing the entire Shrek 2 soundtrack for extra special ambiance.

Ink & Dagger is a wonderful shop with some of the best staff around! I was tattooed by Mel and she did an amazing job with absolutely everything! The colors are stunning and the line work is clean and detailed and the healing was an absolute breeze! I have already sent a couple people to ink and dagger and will be recommending them to everyone!

Mel did a brilliant job on my cover up!! You would never expect there to be a tattoo under this one. The detail is gorgeous. I am beyond thrilled!!Mel was very easy to discuss ideas with. She sent the initial design a week before my appointment. I really appreciated the time to think about it and make adjustments before our session.The salon was clean and welcoming. I loved the vibe.

2026-06-07T00:48:20.228Z

I had the best experience with Mel. She is a true master of her craft and made the whole process simple and enjoyable. So proud to wear her art in the world!

I saw Mel Perlman for a keloid coverup tattoo and she completely exceeded my expectations. First off, I love the vibe of the shop. The front desk people are so friendly in a southern kind of way that made me feel right at home. It is so artsy and CLEAN and every artist has their own unique corner. It was fun to be surrounded by other artists and clients too!Mel was super accommodating with my requested changes and simply knew what to do. She nailed the placement on the first try and had a good eye for what flowed with my body.This was my first tattoo and I expected the pain for a chest piece to be relatively high but was pleasantly surprised that I was able to sit through it! While Mel had a gentle hand, she worked with confidence, conviction, and precision. I was amazed that she simply knew how to mix the colors together. Her expertise and confidence helped me to relax and I honestly started to doze off!I also commend her for her willingness to tattoo over my keloid, which I've felt self-conscious about for fifteen years. I now feel the freedom to wear v-necks and scoop necks and all the pretty things and not feel self-conscious! She turned me into a badass in just five hours. Thank you, Mel, for helping me get my confidence back!!!

I chose Ink & Dagger because I wanted to invest in a high-quality tattoo that felt like a true piece of art, and Mel's style was exactly what I was looking for. I came to her with ideas about what I did and did not want in my tattoo, then gave her the creative freedom to bring it to life as an artist.The result exceeded my expectations. Mel created a beautiful, unique piece that perfectly captured the vision I had in mind while adding her own artistic expertise and style. The entire experience felt collaborative, professional, and thoughtful from start to finish.Since getting the tattoo, I've received countless compliments on it, and I genuinely love showing it off. It makes me proud to walk around with her artwork on me every day. If you're looking for an artist who can take your ideas and transform them into something truly special, I highly recommend Mel and the team at Ink & Dagger
