I highly recommend avoiding this place. The artist I mistakenly spoke to when I walked in, continually would not get artwork to me, would not make the couple of small changes to the artwork as requested many times, continually wanted re-schedule me for reasons unknown, and finally refused to change the artwork.
I realized he was not very good, was very resistant, and do to all of the resistance from the artist and the terrible and minimal art he did finally get me, I am glad I did not let him put ink on me. The owner sided with the artist, basically saying his lack of response time, lack of changes, lack of ability, and resistance are how they do business.
Worst experience at any tattoo shop ever!

Had a tattoo, provided a pic of what I wanted. The artist talked me out of what the pic looked like and it was only half done and nothing like the pic. I had also paid for my son and i to get matching tattoos and my son had a surgery. The appointment was for 2 weeks AFTER my sons surgery but 1 week after his surgery he developed blood clots, 2 in his leg and 1 in his lung, he is also 18 years old. Informed the artist BEFORE the appointment to inform him and asked if the money I already paid could either used on a different tattoo for myself, fix the tattoo that wasnt done correctly or refunded. I was told "nope" and that "all money is non refundable". I then said "well I hope you needed the money more then I did" and then he agreed to give me a refund. On the day of the redind was to be given I text him to confirm he was at the shop and was advised "nope" yet again. So I was left with a tattoo that looked nothing line what I provided, then paid for another tattoo and DUE TO MEDICAL REASONS could not get a tattoo for my son who is on blood thinners for 6-12 months. Terrible terrible customer service!!!

Kody is the man!!
He was awesome to work with from start to finish. I gave him my ideas and wants and he made it happen beyond anything I could have ever imagined. I've popped in to a few other shops in the area and never got the friendly vibe that Monarch has. When done I didn't feel stupid walking out of there after talking to someone or asking questions.
Such a pleasant dude and shop all around. I highly recommend Monarch to everyone in this area.

I scheduled and appointment with Boonzie after following her on instagram for a while. The scheduling was very easy through email. She gave me an estimate of about 4 hours and it ended up being exactly accurate. Throughout the whole appointment everyone in the parlor was friendly and had a good upbeat vibe. Boonzie did a wonderful job and I will be going back.

I had Jason do a very large coverup and he did an amazing job. At first I was a little nervous about the price, but I quickly realized you are getting the quality you pay for. I will definitely be back to get more work done here. I was in on a Saturday and all the tattoo artists were busy and all of their tattoos looked amazing when they were done. Don't settle for a tattoo artist, you'll probably end up at Monarch getting your tattoo fixed or covered up like me!
