I can't say enough good things about this shop... I emailed them about walk-ins (can't make phone calls at work) Kayla was quick to respond and very friendly. When I showed up she went and grabbed an available artist. By luck of the draw I got miles who was very friendly and welcoming, he took an example of what I wanted and came back with some bada$$ original artwork. The layout of the shop is very nice, the open environment makes you feel more welcome and involved. Miles was awesome to talk to which is important to me while getting work done. He was fair on pricing and communicated well on the business end as well. He has definitely found a repeat customer.

My mom & I got a matching tattoo here as a walk-in. They were very quick to greet us & accommodated our needs. Our artists were Luis & Miles & they did an amazing job! If I’m ever back in town, I’ll definitely go there again!

I had the best experience with Adam Hay. He was able to take my many ideas and create a tattoo that I never would have imagined. He is a quick and light tattooer to the point that I was getting sleepy on the table! I can’t wait to go back to him with more ideas and see how he transfers it into a beautiful piece of art. Highly recommend you go see him!!

Great shop- super clean, great artists, great atmosphere. Adam is the man, I’ve got two pieces from him now, one stencil one freehand. Both great but his freehand work is outta this world. Check em out!Service: Tattoos

I’ve had the pleasure of getting 2 tattoos done by Adam Hays. One of them is a freehand snake tattoo. I get compliments on this tattoo all the time when in public. The detail and the clean lines speaks for themselves. For the other tattoo, I brought a screenshot of something I wanted and asked Adam to do a similar design. Combined with some of my personal reference photos, he drew up a tattoo that showed attention to detail, even adding in some typical motorcycle practices like the pointer finger on the front brake.Adam has extremely light and fast hands, making the tattoo experience super easy and fun. Combine his years of experience and his laidback nature, you have one of the best tattoo artists to get freehand designs or any tattoo done. I highly recommend Adam Hays to anyone who wants something with precision and great attention to detail!

? Adam Guy Hays ?I had the pleasure of getting my first tattoo from Adam, and it was an incredible experience. Adam's professionalism and expertise were evident from start to finish. I told him that I wanted a red-tailed hawk and a snake on my chest, shoulder, and upper arm, and that I wanted it to be discreet enough to be covered by a shirt. Adam understood and respected my preferences, and used his knowledge of human and animal anatomy to create a piece that exceeded my expectations.One of the things that stands out about Adam's work is his meticulous attention to detail. His keen understanding of animal anatomy is evident in the way he effortlessly imbues his work with realism. The composition of the tattoo on my body flows naturally and has a sense of movement. I love how the tips of the hawk's wings extend over my shoulder. Adam actively sought my input throughout the design process, making sure that I was happy with every aspect of the design before proceeding.Adam's two decades in the game were evident when he fired up his machine. His steady hand and efficient pace resulted in buttery smooth lines and no wasted time. He referred to a variety of diverse reference materials from his personal library, which speaks volumes to his commitment to providing top-notch artistry. Adam possesses a mastery of intricate details. The textures he captured in the hawk's feathers, talons, and beak showcase his dedication to his craft. I love his ability to render snakes with intricate single-needle precision, highlighting the subtle nuances of their scales and features.I went to Adam for his artistry, and I'm glad I did. He flawlessly executed a realistic hawk and snake tattoo in his signature illustrative style. His ability to take my input and incorporate it into his creative vision, and then render it on the contours of the human body, is truly commendable. Adam remained calm and professional throughout the process, creating a relaxed environment that enhanced the overall experience. I'm very happy with my (first) tattoo, and I would definitely go back to AHG in a heartbeat.? ???**I will take pics of my healed tattoo and add them shortly.

All of the artists are talented, friendly and I trust their work. This shop is fantastic, went beyond my expectations. It can get busy, so appointments are a safe bet, but they still take walk ins. Some of my favorite artists in the upstate work here, so it was really cool to get work done and see them doing work on others. I can't recommend this shop enough!
