West Anchor Tattoo

Got me in super quick! Carl did such an amazing job I couldn't be more happy with how the work on my sleeve turned out. 1 hr of drawing it and 5 tattooing. This man doesn't waste time. Had great conversation and felt like he took my interest in Polynesian work seriously and truly brought my thoughts about it to life. Next is to color the hibiscus 🌺 and finish the sleeve when I get back from a military school. I can't wait im beyond thrilled with how it looks!!😁 He also did a great job giving me a few breaks and making sure I was comfortable.

Artists are very friendly the artist Dylan did my tattoo I came in with an idea I designed years ago and he helped turn it into an amazing piece for my dead grandmother

My daughter and I were walk ins at West Anchor. Neither of us are an established client. They are close to our home. So after checking them out online, we decided to see if they had anyone available.
Jacob greeted us at the counter, and we explained what we were looking for.
We were getting a split “interlocking” tattoo. It was my daughter’s first tattoo and she had a vision of what she wanted us to get. Jacob took the time to listen and understand what we she was looking for. It was a smaller, one color, fairly simple design. Some places may have been aggravated having that on a walk in… especially if not the typical style/established client. But Jacob was more than accommodating.
Jacob tattooed my daughter and Dustin tattooed mine. Jacob was great with my daughter and making sure she was comfortable and at ease throughout the process. Dustin was quick yet accurate and knocked mine out in no time. We both are very happy with our tattoos! Both of these artists are extremely talented and just nice guys.
I was a little surprised at the cost for the difficulty level/size; but with that being said, you truly do you get what you pay for. The color is punched in and saturated with seamless line work!! I can say, without a doubt, that we would go back to either one of them again. More than likely, we will probably be making actual appointments in the future! Lol.
Thanks guys!

Nice people doing good work. Thanks to Andrew for coming to Cleveland!

Very professional, clean and friendly. Took my son Tyler to get his first tattoo here, Jacob did an excellent job, the lines are straight and crisp. Could not ask for a better job. The atmosphere is chill and the rest of the employees are friendly and knowledgeable. I suggest if you want good work call and talk to Jacob. Thanks for a good experience.

Was my first tattoo, Carl was patient and very gentle. The tattoo looks better than the reference photo. Would recommend!!!

Great place and very friendly crew. The artist I'm currently seeing, Dustin, is professional and very easy to work with. Best Japanese style artist in Cleveland in my opinion. I could not have asked for a better artist to work with.

These guys are great. I've been getting a sleeve done with them and have had so many people tell me how great the work is - the coloring, line work and design are all awesome. Something else I thought was awesome was being at a tattoo convention and listening to other shop owners talk to Carl about how solid their work was. One shop owner was so impressed with the work he got a cover up at the convention. I would highly recommend talking to them if you're looking to get some work done.

Almost 10 years later and I am still thoroughly impressed with the artistry, cleanliness, and the level of professionalism at this shop. West Anchor has my heart forever. Just make your appointment already. Trust and believe when I say you won't regret it.

Went with a friend to get a "get what you get" tattoo out the gumball machine. Im happy with the quality of the tattoo, the cleanliness of the shop, and the professionalism of the owner/artist. Will get work done there again.

West Anchor Tattoo is an amazing shop! I have been going there for the last 5 years! The artists are great and it has a laid back atmosphere. Thanks again for all the great work you have done for me! Carl I'll be seeing you very soon. Keep up the great work.

Jacob is an awesome dude. And Dustin was giving one to someone next to me and hes cool too. Super clean, and willing to take care of people looking to schedule appointments.

carl did a phenomenal job! very easy to talk to and overall a great artist! very thorough and transparent! Thank you again will be coming back!

This tattoo shop is dope. Super clean and has that old school tattoo vibe. Was in town on a whim and came in here to get some “get what you get’s” and Jacob delivered with a traditional style skull on my forearm and Carl laid down a sweet plaque doctor for my girlfriend. This is my go to Cleveland tattoo shop; if youre in town or just looking to get some clean ink check these guys out you won’t be disappointed.

Carl did a great job on my hubby's tattoo

I've been going here for all of my work and I have always been blown away by the work Carl has done on me and on others. The environment is comfortable and the artists are very professional. Excited to finish the projects we're working on.

Jacob is the go to artist! He just did a ratfink tattoo and and his work is impeccable. If you need work done ask for Jacob he will make it worth your while!

The place to go!! You are going to be amazed!! I have been to a couple other known places & getting tattoos since I was 18 & through all my artist & experience with my work I'm going to say that West Anchor hands down is the best!! I highly suggest Shawna she's extremely talented and her work is unstoppable! I will never go anywhere else & I definitely know she's going to also do just one cover up that I did have a bad experience with someone else!! I am in good hands there!! Check it out yourself

Great place!! Been going here for over a year now, and have been worked on by 3 different artists for over 25 hours of tattooing. I have had my legs, knees, chest, throat, back and arms all worked on. Some of my work has ranged from cover up, restoring old work, and custom pieces. The environment is clean, safe, bright and professional. I took a lot of time checking out various shops in town, and this won me over.

Amazing tattoo shop with 5 awesome artists they are very friendly and they will help you find the perfect tattoo for you I highly recommend this place for your next tattoo
