  Sick ink and great prices! It was awesome, affective, and exactly what i wanted. I loved the vibe of the shop and the artist were super cool and great guys to work with.

  Be very careful working with this shop! They make promises they can't fulfill but only after taking a large deposit from you that they will NOT refund! We should have known Lloyd could NOT do the tattoos we wanted right from the onset. He was rude and very unprofessional. We supplied him with a picture of a tattoo that both me and my daughter were going to get together. The only design change he had to make was to add the purple Lupus ribbon.....we were getting these tattoos because my daughter suffers from Lupus. My daughter went into the shop twice to discuss the design and the only time Lloyd was a little bit courteous was the first visit when he set up the appointment to do the tattoos, promised he could do the design we wanted and of course requested a very large deposit. Just what was the deposit for?!? We reached out to Lloyd several times asking for the final artwork. Lloyd would not return texts and never sent any design until very close to the scheduled appointment. The deign was not even close to what was discussed and of course we requested changes to it. Again, Lloyd put us off and put us off and finally sent another drawing the day before our appointment. Again, it was not even close to what we wanted or what was discussed with the original artwork we supplied him. Then Lloyd asked us to reschedule. As we had told him several times, we could NOT reschedule because I do not live there and was in town visiting my daughter specifically to get these tattoos. Since Lloyd could NOT design this tattoo (and quite honestly acted like he really didn't want to do the tattoos) we cancelled the appointment and asked for our deposit back. He said the deposit was non-refundable. I can understand not returning the deposit if a lot of time had been spent designing the tattoo and then the client just changed their mind but that was NOT the situation here. My daughter and I really wanted these tattoos and were very heartbroken when we had to cancel. Lloyd did NOTHING to deserve the deposit. He spent very, very little time on the design (to say the least) and it was very apparent he did not have the talent or ability to create the design we wanted. I honestly believe he never intended to do the tattoos but what a great easy scam to make money. Why should anyone get paid for doing nothing nor having the ability to do what you are paying them for? The deposit wasn't due to his inability to book that slot if we cancelled because HE wanted us to reschedule-he apparently already had other plans for that day. Since Lloyd was rude and refused to work with us, my daughter reached out to the owners of the shop to see if she could get her deposit back. They too were very rude and refused. I truly believe the deposit is a scam to make money. I would NOT recommend this shop to anyone!!!

  This place (Matthew barnes) took a $200 deposit of mine when I rescheduled and came back, he acted like he never took any deposit at all. Then was threatening me and cussing me out?! Told management about what happened, nothing. They take your money and not tattoo you. Highly not recommend. Scam shop..... update Because of me posting on here, The shop owner kody Flannery said I'm no longer deserving of a refund or anything, and I'm no longer welcome to the shop.

  Walked in and met Jason. Was able to have a tattoo done without an appointment! (Fyi this is not the norm). Very clean and everyone was professional. He did a great job on my daughter's watermark! Thanks again ...

  Mike is AMAZING!

Got two anchors and a bar done. Mike was great. Very thorough, helpful, friendly, clean--- there aren't enough words to describe how wonderful he was.

I would definitely recommend Monarch to others. Incredibly reasonable prices and fabulous service.

  Met with Matt to discuss what I wanted. When I came back for our session he had drawn out exactly what I was thinking. He has a light touch and I will definitely be back to continue my tattoos and sleeve!

  Matt worked me in on short notice when I told him I got stood up at another place. Thank you, now me and my sisters have our matching tattoos.

  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!

  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.
