My wife and I both got amazing tattoos by Zane at Holy Cobra. Ben handled the booking, and he made the whole process smooth and easy from start to finish. The shop is clean, professional, and offers just about every style and design you could imagine. Highly recommend Holy Cobra for anyone looking for quality work and a great overall experience.

It took me 16 years to really find a tattoo artist that opened my eyes to everything that is amazing about traditional tattoo style. Ben has not only turned my arms into beautiful pieces of art but he’s also taken my life’s story and added that with it! I have been and will continue to drive 1hr 30 min just for this guy because his work speaks for itself, the shop is amazing and Ben as a tattoo artist is by far the most humbling , no pain no gain kind of man that has again put what I never thought would’ve been possible into possible and beautiful! He also fixed another “tattoo artists” work! Thank you Ben for having such an amazing shop!

Just got done with my tattoo with Ben the owner of Holy Cobra and it was an awesome experience. Was originally trying to get something done with another tattoo shop and they left me on read. Ben did a survey on his IG account about getting some ink done which I voted on and immediately received a message if I wanted to get some work done. I don’t typically have a Friday off during the week so I was pretty stoked that he could fit me in so quick . I let Ben know what I wanted and he got crackin on an awesome Kappa. Loved the environment of the shop with a very welcoming atmosphere. Nestled down in little Italy with plenty of street parking around as well as two paid for parking structures. If you’re looking to get your first tattoo or another one I would highly recommend Holy Cobra for your next tattoo. Being able to chop it up with a fellow combat veteran didn’t hurt either .

Got matching tats with my siblings here, and the vibes were amazing. Before the appointment I was able to be in contact and communication with my tattoo artist and he had very punctual responses. When we got there he was very patient and receptive when we wanted to make little changes to our original idea too. His work was also very consistent for all of our tattoos and the time we spent there everyone seemed very positive. Shoutout Zane our tattoo artist.

Great spot! Kinda hidden but came recommended by people in the area. Super cool about walk-ins. Vibes were right. Zane was down to earth, professional, funny and had a dope conversation while getting the tattoo done. It turned out great! And of course obligatory props to Ben, the owner of the shop, who is funny sometimes too. ;) I guess, I guess, haha. Thanks guys! Will def come back if I’m ever around and got some tattoo needs.
