The Black Lantern

I haven’t had a tattoo in 28 years so I wanted to go with the best artist possible. Took me 7 months waiting for London but it was worth the wait. There was a moment where I wasn’t sure if I’d go through with the tattoo but London kept working on the design to get it to where I wanted it. Honestly, this was below his pay grade but he never made me feel like I was wasting his time. Super happy with the end result and I’m already looking to add to his work.
Oh, office was super cool and all three guys (including London) were friendly and accommodating. If you want the best then it’s worth the wait.

I have been working with Brittney for the past month or two on my sleeve and am in love with it. I had a really vague idea of what I wanted and she crafted a beautiful piece that incorporated both parts of my cultures when I had no idea how they would integrate. She had an eye for gradients and shades that I hadn't included in my last 6 tattoos and I couldn't be more happy with her work. My friends haven't stopped complimenting this tattoo and several are already working on booking her for their next ones! Plus the other artists in the studio are down to earth and welcoming. Highly recommend Black Lantern to everyone!

This was an exceptional tattoo experience. I had not had a new tattoo for 16 years! I found The Black Lantern on google and based on the reviews and pictures I inquired. They set me up with Brittney who was awesome to work with and schedule. The shop was top notch. It was clean and had a great laid back atmosphere. Very high end in my opinion. My tattoos that I had done were on my ring finger and my forearm. They were very specific as they were in Farsi Calligraphy and they needed to be just right. Brittney was amazing. Her line work was exceptional. She was very informative and laid back. The end result is more than what I was hoping for and beyond my expectations! They are healing great and I now have a permanent tribute to my family which was my goal. Thank you Brittney and The Black Lantern. Im already planning to add to my forearm tattoo and my wife is even considering getting her first tattoo ever from you! Definitely give this tattoo establishment a look. You will not be disappointed. The prices were very fair and you definitely get what you pay for. The best tattoo experience that I have had and I have 3 other tattoos already. Thank you!

I really enjoyed spending the day getting my first Tattoo, here at The Black Lantern, everyone was so friendly. Thank you Trip my tattoo artist for a wonderful experience.

I had my first session yesterday with London and I had an excellent experience. Scheduling the appointment was super easy (plan ahead, he’s in very high demand), and the appointment itself was awesome. We spent the morning designing the tattoo based on some pictures I emailed ahead of time and spent the afternoon tattooing. We made some great progress on a sleeve, absolutely can’t wait to get back in the chair and add to it. Great conversations, music and vibes. I can’t speak highly enough of London and The Black Lantern. He is exceptionally talented, his art speaks for itself. I will definitely be back for more in the months and years to come. Thanks for an awesome experience London!

Christian is amazing ! Awesome job on tattoo he provided for my daughter. Would highly recommended him ! Very detailed and fun to work with we will be back for more!!

I had an absolutely AMAZING experience at The Black Lantern with tattoo artist Trip Lopez. He was extremely friendly, helpful, professional, and TALENTED! I would 1000% recommend Trip as a tattoo artist to all of my friends and family. He created a beautiful and meaningful tribute to my pitbull. I will forever cherish and admire the artwork that Trip did on my arm. Thank you x a million!

I got a small souvenir tattoo with Jon, I love it. The shop is gorgeous and very clean, everyone was really nice, fun to talk with. I scheduled my appointment with his assistant, she was very nice too. After a slight miscommunication about what I wanted, Jon patiently worked with me to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. I saw one of the other artists' work, looks like this shop is stellar! A+

I scheduled an appointment with Sean Hall for my 25th birthday and the experience did not disappoint. Chill environment with good vibes, tunes & people. Sean was swift and efficient with creating the sketch, and delivered my first tattoo with total finesse.

Thanks to everyone at Black Lantern for having me and I'll definitely be back for a coral reef sleeve!

(It's Always Sunny was a perfect mood setter)

London and his team are the BEST in the business. The shop is clean, the team is professional and the work is outstanding. It makes a huge difference in a tattoo shop when they treat their customers with respect, treat their craft with respect and love what they do everyday.

This is my favorite tattoo shop I've been to. I came here to see Sean Hall, who created a beautiful geometric/floral wrist band for me. The atmosphere is so nice-wide open, clean, and very welcoming with a really comfortable waiting area for clients. Sometimes there's music playing and sometimes you're watching a movie, which I think is genius. Nothing distracts from the pain like scrolling through Netflix and watching an awesome Marvel movie! The neighborhood is also really nice with a lot of food and drink. I had an awesome experience and I'll definitely be recommending and coming back.
