Dave tattooed me and he is the absolute best! It was an awesome experience. He has such a light hand when he works, practically painless. He is so kind and funny and it was great talking to him. I can’t wait to go back again. Definitely ask for Dave and see if he and Andrew will sing some of their boy band songs for you. Thanks so much Dave!

It was my first time getting a tattoo and I had Dave! I was super nervous but he totally made me feel comfortable and relaxed. He’s super conversational and friendly. All of the staff was this way! They definitely know what they’re doing and I couldn’t have of asked for a better first experience ^____^ Thank you for making recommendations that would make my tattoo come out better and definitely will come back again if I get another.

Really amazing experience going in for my first time! My friend and I were welcomed with smiles from the moment we walked in. They kept us hydrated with fresh cold water, too. They made sure to ask us a lot of questions so we could walk out with just what we wanted! They created our design step-by-step with us so we could be a part of the process & make it our own. Everything was really clean & organized! We saw them change gloves regularly and kept all surfaces and tools very clean. I had Frank & he was very calm and confident, which gave me a lot of ease. The positivity helped the time pass really quickly & it was over before I knew it! I honestly just came in with an idea & Frank turned it into exactly what I wanted. The prices are extremely reasonable for the great work they do! I am definitely looking to go again for any more that I want in the future. :)

I lost my dog about a month ago and dealing with her passing has been very hard to take. I wanted to commemorate her life by getting inked… in one of the most painful areas too. I did my research and admired Frank’s work from the pictures I found on Unilocal and Instagram. His line work is uncanny and no one else came close. I visited his shop at noon on a Saturday, someone greeted my friend and me immediately and offered us a bottle of water. I noticed Frank working on someone as we patiently waited. When he finished he met me in front and asked for the work I wanted: black ink, mainly outline work and no color shading. I handed an artist drawing of my dog, signed some paperwork and put down a deposit then settled to come back at 5 pm later that day. Fast forward to Frank placing the tattoo stencil on my skin, I looked at the placement and, with his suggestion, tweaked the position by a few degrees and settled myself on the saran wrapped tattoo bed. Pain cut right through but Frank kept checking up on me with well-placed jokes, asking me to continue breathing and to let him know when I needed a break. He was halfway done when I asked to break for a bit. I was given a Capri Sun and Snickers to calm my adrenaline rush then back on the bed. The second part was a bit more painful since it was on top of my ribs but Frank is as patient as every reviewer has mentioned and didn’t waiver or draw outside the lines from my occasional flinching. Done! I stood up and gulped two more caribbean cooler Capri Suns(sorry if I drank your favorite flavor) then got patched up. Frank provided his suggestions to care for my new ink which I’ve heeded and it’s been healing just fine. Everyone I’ve shown has been amazed by how he captured every bit of the drawing. It really is amazing work! Thank you to Frank and everyone at EET for helping me get a wonderful keepsake of my special little girl. My friends will definitely pay a visit to your shop.

Let me just begin by saying Frank is amazing! Came in today to get my very first tattoo and I was quite nervous not knowing what to expect. Frank was awesome by being so informative, patient, and kind! He knows how to make you feel at ease during the session and constantly checks up on you to make sure you’re doing okay. I would definitely go back to him for future tattoos!

Frank is amazing! Kind and patient and quoted us a price that we felt was very reasonable for the work being done. Frank provided input on ways he would recommend modifying our original idea and it turned out better than we could have hoped. We walked in on a Sunday after and they were able to accommodate us, which was perfect while my mom was in town for just a few days! I would recommend Frank to any of my friends!

Dave Edwards does some very fine art work. We will be going back again. The shop is spotless, and Dave’s procedure is nothing but A1 first rate. This is a 2nd trip in 8 days. I had work done last week. My husband came back today for his 1st piece of art.

Had an amazing experience with Frank today. He really takes the time to listen to you and converts your vision into something better. I came in with a set idea but he was able to convince me to get a better version of what I had in mind and I’m glad I fully trusted his artistic expertise. Pretty sure I’ll be coming back to get my next tattoo from Frank as well!

I got my first tattoo from Frank 5 years ago and decided it was time to get another. It was easy to make an appointment and the whole process including consultation was super quick. I had drawn the design myself but Frank was able to clean it up and give me advice on how to make it look better. During the actual session, Frank was friendly, funny and constantly checked to see how I was doing. Basically, he’s professional, clean and makes customers feel comfortable. He also respects what the customers want while making sure it’s still artistic/aesthetically good. Prices are fair especially for his quality of work. I still highly recommend. Thanks Frank! :P

Came in almost 10 months ago for an idea of two different tattoos online I had seen and melding them together. My father had passed away and I wanted something for him. I was very uneasy about the process since my mom would kill me if she ever found out. Wasn’t sure till the day of my tattoo of even getting it but when I saw the design I knew. Thanks Frank. Coming soon for another one

By far the best experience I’ve ever had in a tattoo shop! Everyone was so nice and I felt completely welcome. Dave did a totally awesome job on my tattoo and it’s by far my best tattoo and most favorite! I’m most definitely coming here for my future tattoos, no doubt about it. Eighth Element Tattoo is absolutely amazing and all of the artists are super nice and have spectacular work. The prices are completely reasonable, but I left a tip because I had such an amazing experience and came out with a perfect tattoo. If you’re contemplating different places, go to Eighth Element! You seriously won’t regret it!

Just finished my session with Frank and I could not be any happier with my 1st tattoo. Frank made my 1st tattoo experience an amazing one! My tattoo came out so awesome, and I can’t wait for another one. Thank you Frank, I was a nervous wreck before walking in, but you made the experience fun.

I have been thinking about getting a tattoo for the past 3 years and I am so glad that I went to Frank to get mine done. The first thing I noticed when I set foot in his shop was how CLEAN it was. I wanted to get an ocean wave accompanied by my cousin’s death date and he gave me exactly what I had wanted. However, about a few weeks later some of the lines of my Roman numerals looked as though they were blurred and I contacted Frank immediately. He said it was his fault and was so apologetic, and he told me to come back in about a month and a half. I came back today for a touch up and again, I had an amazing experience. I walked out of the shop very satisfied with what I got and I love the vibe here. Frank is so funny, hospitable, and accomodating to your needs. He does piercings as well, and I’m probably going to go here to get my belly button pierced sometime in the near future. All in all, i definitely reccommend Frank Tran HEISAMAZINGTHANKYOUONCEAGAIN!!!

Went in for two matching finger tattoos with my sister. They were very professional and accommodating. A bit on the expensive side, $ 80 for each finger tattoo, but comes with a free touch up. Understandable as it is a finger tattoo, and they tend to fade quicker. Chris Cook was our artist: he listened to our ideas, incorporated our wants, and was very cool with our double and triple checking. Also, debit has a 8% fee, so we had to leave to go to an atm.

Frank is an amazing tattoo artist! He did my boyfriend’s tat and it looks really nice. Although it didn’t took long, the tats came out looking amazing. 5⁄5 He also makes sure that you feel comfortable and asked if you needed anything. 5⁄5 for customer service. There’s also wifi here, just ask if you want it!

Got my second here as well. This time Chris Cook was the artist. He knows what he’s doing. He listened to what I wanted and gave me great suggestions. Very straightforward and kind. This is the place I recommend to all my friends.

Still one of the very few guys I trust tattooing on my skin. Contacted Frank extremely last minute about getting my daughter’s name tattooed on my wrist. He was quick and responsive and I came in within an hour to get tattooed. Franks shop is open and clean. He makes getting a tattoo nice and smooth. He will make sure you like the location of the tattoo and any details along with it. He runs one the most professional shops I’ve ever been to and is truly a passionate and talented owner. Thanks Frank
