Phil Thornborrow After months of planning ideas for a memorial piece I wanted i started searching for just the right artist to do it. I came across small world and started browsing artist profiles and portfolios and knew this was the place and these were the people. The reviews and the shop website left no doubt that this was where I had to be. I messaged around 7am of all times and by around 9:30 am I had a message back, it was Chuck, he asked some questions about my idea and placement and we set up a time for me to come in the next day for a face to face talk. The shop is loaded with every type of flash art you could imagine, everywhere you look there is artwork. The artists are all friendly and welcome you as soon as you walk through the door, and even if they are in the middle of a tattoo they are all willing to lend a second opinion for your work to make sure you get exactly what you want. Chuck was extremely kind and very detailed oriented, we talked about family life, work, music and more but he was also able to dial in with laser like focus to make every line flawless. Conversation flows amongst the shop no matter who you are working with and every single artist there is just that an artist, a master of their craft, you simply can not go wrong. I already started talking with Chuck about my next tattoo before I even left the shop tonight and a rough idea has been formed, I can't wait to get back in the chair. I recommend small world to the entire world! Averey Maroukis Just an awesome experience here overall. When I walked in for my consultation everyone was nice and welcoming and the vibe there was great. Tom did an amazing job and was so cool to talk to, and helped me push through to the end. All of the scheduling and payment was very easy and straightforward. I will 100% recommend to anyone looking to get a tatoo and I will no doubt be back for more. Thank you Tom!

This was my first experience at this shop and with this artist. I found him to be very down to earth and captured the design I wanted perfectly. The shop was very clean and well organized.

Here at Small World Tattoo, it’s important that each and every client has a comfortable, memorable, and impactful experience. Tattoos are a reflection of your individuality and personal story. Your tattoo artist has a responsibility to respectfully collaborate with you to celebrate your individuality, personal growth and expression, and even mark significant life events. No matter if it’s a goofy image that holds no meaning, or a highly detailed memorial piece for a loved one, each tattoo carries a unique story and significance for the person wearing it. We are experienced tattooers that will be honest with you about your ideas, and will work with you to create something that will exceed your expectations. Your tattoo will be be drawn and applied with longevity in mind. You will wear your tattoo for the rest of your life, and it is important that it looks good years down the road as it ages with you. Getting a tattoo is more than just leaving with a permanent marking of your skin. It is an intimate experience that requires mutual trust, respect, and gratitude.
We look forward to working with you. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us!
