Turtle did a tattoo on my wrist. He was very patient as we discussed the details of my tattoo. Paradise Tattoo and Turtle paid special attention to cleanliness and safety. Please note, the tattoo in the photo below is still healing. I would go back and recommend Paradise Tattoos!

I got an ear piercing during my vacations, and it was lovely! The piercer, Jenny, was a lovely women. I had only paid for one ear piercing, but she marked two spots on my ear and said she could just do both of them. I also got a new industrial barbell put in, and the entire price for everything (getting the piercing, the jewelry for the piercing, the insertion of the new barbell, aftercare kit) was only $80 (which may sound like a lot, but that it LOADS cheaper than anything I’ve ever gotten done in my home town)The ONLY downside was that the piercer did not come in until 6:00 (perfectly understandable, since I was told she works a second job) but other than that, it was fantastic! A lovely place, would absolutely recommend!

We were so happy when we went in May, we came back in June and I got the tattoo Ive been wanting for 30 years. I have a beat up picture of my wife from her high school days in my wallet. Das said no problem and turned it into a work of art on my calf. It is so realistic and detailed. I get compliments on it daily. Thank you so much for the great work. Sorry it took so long to post this. We will be back soon!!

I had been wanting to get a tattoo in memory of my Mom and finally decided to go for it while in Key West. Young lady working the counter took 2 pictures and merged them together to come up with the exact thing I wanted. Turtle did the tattoo and I couldnt be more happy with how it turned out. He went above and beyond my expectations and was very professional. Highly recommend him!!

Rick (Rik?) was great- we wanted a more detailed image but given placement & size he consulted with us until we found a good compromise on detail and image clarity that would hold up over time. Nice homage to our ‘63 Beetle. Friendly people. Clean. Even in COVID we felt safe. Highly recommended!

Amazing staff. Very clean. Was quick. I love my palm tree tattoo!

Came in and they got me and my crew of 7 others an appointment for a few hours later almost instantly. Highly recommend Rick did great work for me and friend. Also the other two guys do great work too. Rick was great he laughed and joked with us like we’ve known him for a while!

Rik at Paradise Tattoos is the one to go to for Americana/ Sailor Jerry / Traditional tattoos in Key West! I spoke to another artist about this ideal, and he even recommended Rik! Thank you, Das! Splendid job on the redesign of my tatt.Onto my second tattoo experience with Rik. (I had already had an anchor done on my hand by him).I showed him what I wanted, and he immediately understood the significance, having done similar pieces before. I also told him this would be the center piece for my sleeve. He recommended several things, and I took his advice as hes the pro. Best decision!The piece turned out beautiful...Ill definitely try to get him to finish the sleeve!

Went in the day before I left Key West for the ultimate souvenir, and got a tattoo I have been wanting for years for a great price. Das is a great artist! Its the first time Ive had a tattoo that looked better than the picture! Thank you!

I went in June 6, 2021 as a walk-in and was able to get an appointment for an hour later(with an artist named Turtle)! I didnt know much about tattoos(I only have two others from different places which are small and were one of the ones you pick for specials) and the people behind the counter were amazing! Very patient and helpful in letting me know what would and wouldnt work out/look good. The review says the person helping me(who I absolutely ran around😅) was named Eliotte(super cool pink hair!) and the customer service from that person and everyone else was amazing! The artist(Turtle) was also super personable. He was patient and is very good at what he does. In and out super quick with a good quality tattoo(pictured below: any shine/white spots you might see is just from me putting on too much Aquaphor, the tattoo has great color). Again, great quality/service, and pretty well priced for being right smack in the middle of a tourist spot. Thank you guys!

I was a walk in and they were able to almost immediately see me! Staff was super friendly and nice, however the tattoo was pricey and the tattoo came out a little lopsided. It’s a beautiful tattoo but I’ve had multiple people point out it’s not even.

Super impressed with how well this shop took in so many walk ins and did amazing jobs on all! Me and my mom got tattoos and (I forget his name but he had a ponytail!) he was super sweet and made good conversation! Everyone was so friendly and it was overall a 11/10 experience. Definitely recommend!

Walked in to price out a Charmander tattoo on my ankle, 3 inches, nothing fancy, only one color….estimated price was $350. I have a half sleeve that was $400…this places price are outrageous and definitely a tourist trap.

This place is taking advantage of tourist. My daughter and I got one small tattoo and were charged WAY to much. The tattoos took 10 minutes for the both. The only positive is they got us in right away. The also don’t provide enough explanation of how to take care of the tattoos. Would never have spent what I did, but my daughter really wanted one for her senior trip. Would not go back or recommend.

Das was AMAZING!! He really paid attention to detail, was patient, and very creative. Highly recommend!!

Danny did my tattoo and was super friendly and did great work. Highly recommend these guys over other local shops.

The shop was amazing and the artist Rik was fantastic. I highly recommend them the staff is friendly and make you very comfortable. I will be back. Also my chicken purse was a hit but I cant figure out how to add the photo so I will do that on Facebook

2 people in and out in less than an hour for small tatts. Super clean. Talented, friendly, professional artist. A++

If you want to get piercings, THIS is THE place to go! About 6 months ago I went into the tattoo parlor down the street to ask about a bad conch and helix job I had when I moved here. The guy there was seemingly unconcerned and didnt really care about my questions. So I walked into paradise tattoo and was greeted immediately, then one of the piercers, Ryan got into such detail, he is patient with all my questions and I love that he marked a dot where the piercing would go so I could see the placement before hand. Since then I have had my old conch and helix redone beautifully, along with a new tragus and second helix that I love. They all turned out perfect! The whole experience is fun, the rest of the staff are joyous and welcoming too! Very professional and clean, with sterile needles and equipment used right out of the package every time. Greg is also very laid back and makes you feel relaxed when you talk to him, he is very kind and patient and Ive seen so many people come out of that store with smiles a mile wide. I even talked to a lady who had a rooster on her shoulder and she was raving about how he did such a good job!I am going back today to get my tongue pierced, I am so excited! I would recommend this place to anyone wanting something unique in key west!If anyone has any questions, just ask! These guys are amazing, thanks to Greg, Ryan and everyone else involved!

Jenny did an AMAZING job on the four ear piercings I got! She was very calming and gave me all the information I needed to help them heal properly. Ive gotten a lot of piercings in my life and she is easily the most gentle, I hardly felt any of them!

RICK was great, very professional, great sense of humor. Staff was incredibly helpful setting up appointments. Tattoos for my friend and I were done with great care. This was my third tattoo, and was the best experience.

Love everyone who works here!! Steve Martin is my tattoo artist here and he is hands down one of the most talented artists ive ever had the honor of being tattooed by!! The girls at the desk are amazing too, super friendly and always accommodating. Everyone here is super talented so if Steve is booked or out of town there are definitely other people to give you an amazing tattoo!

We stopped in for a couple small tattoos, we were treated wonderfully and Rick did an amazing job. Had great conversation throughout our time there and the tattoos turned out just as expected and we love our new permanent souvenirs!The shop was super clean, which we cannot say the same for some other shops in town that we checked out. Would definitely return !

Great place! Clean, great staff, super nice, and did good work! Would 100% recommend

Pierced by Jenny ... she was great! Thank you.

Walked in on our anniversary to try to get a simple tattoo. They had one guy working on a busy day. And he was a complete azz. As soon as I walked in he started screaming mask mask mask. I have had the vaccine but I went ahead and complied cause I thought he was going to cry. He told us he could not help until after 8 pm. He acted like we were a bother so we said no thanks!!! Went to Southernost a few doors down. Total different attitude. Seemed to actually appreciate customers. Do yourself a favor and DONT use these jerks.

Ric is awesome. I was so nervous and he distracted me by talking to me and before I knew it, it was done

I had my tattoo done by Rik, it was painless and exactly what I wanted!! My only problem was trying to not move while laughing! Not only is Rik a wonderful artist but an excellent entertainer as well!PS I just turned 71 and this is my first tattoo!

Absolutely the most pitiful display of professionalism!!!!! As a PROFESSIONAL PAID artist I was helping my son figure out a tattoo that was meaningful to his soul. The artist Ric refused to listen to my explanation of the rendition I was helping my son with wouldn’t even give me a second to explain how he wanted to tattoo. Their loss. My money will go elsewhere. DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS ESTABLISHMENT!!!!!!

Een using the rew, mostly Greg at Paridise for 15 years. Greg not actively tattooing now so I took a big leap of faith with Das.... and was that worth it, wow turned a photo into everything I had hoped for. As always Paradise is clean and follows all the protocols,, its a shame some folks can t appreciate that. Regardless they take their time and really do it all right

Tattoo by Rick. AMAZING job! I love it and would recommend them 100%

Paradise SAVED my Septum!! -Deviated Septum Struggle! First off, with a nose like mine Septum piercings rarely come out right. I say this with kindness towards the first person who attempted it and immense appreciation towards Jenny Eppy for absolutely nailing it! Her knowledge and expertise were abundantly clear moments into the consultation.-Skill, precision, patience, experience, expertise.10/10 would get holes punched in my face here again!

Got a dragonfly tattoo by Das. Amazing! Very professional, clean and great people! Highly recomend to anyone!

My first tattoo! The staff wasn’t friendly and my friends and I felt like bother to them. The tattoo artist intentionally reversed the picture of the tatoo we wanted before stenciling it on me. When looking in the mirror, I didn’t realize it was actually backwards. My tattoo had an S in it for my name. Once the tattoo was done and I was able to show my friends one of them noticed it was backwards. When I brought it to his attention so that he could fix it before doing my friend’s tatoo, his only response was that no one mentioned that it was an S. He never mentioned that he was reversing the tatoo nor asked if there was any reason why he shouldn’t. I was never given a discount and when I mentioned that I hoped they would do the right thing I was ignored and just asked if I would like to add a tip. The tattoo was done well aside from being backwards. This is the only reason I am giving 3 stars.

I got my tattoo from les. He was awesome, fast, professional and very fun.

Friendly experience. Very professional. Great work.I showed them what I wanted and they delivered.Artwork by Das.

Wanted to make my first a memorable experience. Research Key West shops and decided on Paradise. What a great choice during FF 2017!! Friendly staff and artists. Steve M was helpful in the final details. His steady hand and laid back personality made the experience the best.Thank you again Steve. #sMartin

DO NOT GET WORK DONE HERE. Worst service I’ve had in a very long time. I have full sleeves and countless ink pieces and have never been treated with such a condescending tone. Don’t know who these people are but treating someone (regardless of being tourists) with respect should be the most basic expectation and being polite costs nothing. Talking to the guy with the long pony tail, I thought I entered the twilight zone because his mom was perfectly fine this morning when we woke up.

Went in to get my wife a replacement piercing and had a similar experience to Jeff’s low star review. The power tripping ponytail kept barking “mask mask mask” in a rude way. So I went to get my mask and came back in. When I came back in he literally just directed me to Lisa without even asking, greeting, or looking at me. Get off your high horse ponytail

Awesome experience my tattoo is perfect and has beautiful color. I think it was Dan that did it or Dave not sure but he did a awesome job. Highly recommend them

Danny always does an excellent job with all my tattoos. No problems ever with quality of work, infections or any post tattoo issues. Highly recommend. Can wait to get my next one

I don’t usually put reviews out. But...This place is not military friendly, rude, and is shady. There are better places around. Don’t spend your money there.

The tattoo artist was very good

The young lady who done my daughter piercing was amazing. I am going back to touch up my tat..

I walked in with a concept. Asked to have an artist help me design. Hostess and “artist “ made me feel uncomfortable for not knowing exactly what I wanted. It’s my experience that it is the artist job to make my concept come true.. “artist” wanted to copy something from Pinterest and trace it in my body. Walked over the southernmost tattoos got what I wanted and left Ney west Florida with a beautiful tattoo and a tribute to my 25th wedding anniversary.

Not super friendly, shop minimum was fair at $75 but I got a very small tattoo that took less than 3 min. To do and he told me it would cost more to make thicker lines. Sorry but $75 for 3min. Of his time and he couldnt make the lines thicker without more money is kind of ridiculous. Wont be returning.

Absolutely love my new tattoo! Das drew up and executed exactly what I wanted! Great staff and awesome environment!

Danny did my first tattoo about two weeks prior. He was friendly enough, and did an excellent job! So I went back for my second one, specifically so he could do it. He was so unfriendly! Almost like we were disturbing him! Not to mention the over pricing of a simple tattoo. The quality is very nice, he just needs to be more appreciative of his customers, and their return business. My recommendation is walk on down the road to Southern Most tattoo!

Rick and the staff at the front were great. Rick did a great job on my tattoo. Lines were crisp, color was awesome! They made us feel welcome too which is great. Prices were fair and we’re in key west! Stop in and you won’t be disappointed!

The wife and I went in to get two small basic tattoos, they quoted us 400.00 apiece. Walked down to southern most tattoo I got three tattoos through out our vacation and it cost 450.00 for all three not 400.00 for one small single color tattoo!!!!. My wife got four new tattoos, and the guy who did her work also touched up three of her old tattoos and only charged 600.00 . Will never go to paradise tattoo again rude and way over priced!

This place is awesome. Very professional. I hardly felt my tattoo and love it. No scabbing or wounding. I highly recommend.

Rudest people I’ve ever met. Would never give them my business. Go anywhere else

Had a tattoo done by Das this past weekend and he did a PHENOMENAL job. Transformed my idea into reality and did it with excellent detail. Would definitely recommend Das at Paradise Tattoo.

Even with an appointment they made us wait and refused to give us our deposit back. We are on vacation and made an appointment so we didnt have to spend precious time waiting. Very unprofessional for targeting a tourist crowd.

What a great place. We were here to get painted for fantasy fest. There were four of us and everyone was happy with their work. Beyond that It was crazy busy with appointments and walk-ins and they kept everything g running smoothly while keeping up the party in key west atmosphere. Great place. 10/10 would go here again.

Pretty awesome people

Very rude lady at counter.Also doesn’t seem to know what a service dog is.Sad.There’s a very friendly tatto shop a block or two away called southernmost tattoo! Had a great experience there!

Vary patient, accommodating staff! Das does the best persision tattoos ever! Would definitely go back for our next tattoos!

Way overpriced.

Im one Happy gal with my tattoo. KUDOS TO MY ARTIST!!!

So I went in there asking about a sleeve and while I appreciate the artists honesty about the fact that my not being a local customer would make it difficult to get my sleeve done, his overall demeanor made it seem as if I was not a customer he wanted to do business with and his prices were ASTRONOMICAL!!! Ive gotten many tattoos before and this is NOT somewhere I recommend to ANYONE, and YES I am aware of the location, but I am NOT desperate nor did I appreciate the treatment.

Great work, right on Duval.

Rude and acted as if they had better things to do. Got upset that they couldn’t hear me over my face mask and vice versa when I couldn’t t hear them from mumbling under their face mask. Very clean and great ink, however extremely overpriced especially for a small outline tattoo barely the size of a playing card. $150 for that? Ridiculous.

Got nipples pierced here, Ryan was great, $100 for both, good quality jewelry.

They took us right in. The artist was very friendly and gave us tips on places to visit. Highly recommend.

Our Vacation group of 4 decided now to get the Tattoos we had wanted for a while. We were referred to 1 place and opted out upon visiting. Then referred to Paradise Tattoo. We were greeted immediately and the wheels were set in motion! The whole staff was professional, helpful, friendly and accommodating!All of us are Thrilled with the Artwork! Steve and Ric did our work. Brilliant Artists! When we come back, this is the place we are going for Ink! Side Note... Nani is Hilarious! And to Ric.. next time I will add Corn dogs to my Tip! 🤣🤣🤣 Many Thanks to All at Paradise Tattoo from The Texans!

Such an awesome experience, i cant wait to come back.

Its very expensive for a tattoo shop, but they were able to see my husband without a wait and did a solid job. Its a clean shop and mostly nice people working there. They also do body painting.

Great work Das! Love my octopus tattoo!

Rik did an awesome job!

I’ve had a few tats over the years at paradise tattoos but Tony listened to me and understood exactly what I wanted. I was not disappointed he nailed the Tatt I wanted and I’m Over the moon with the work he done so ask for TONY he’s a top dude that won’t tattoo you unless he’s happy with what he feels is right. Great manager a great team. Just wanted to review the great service.

Das is amazing and so talented

Steve Martin did mine. This was my first. Im 64. I told him what I was looking for but something a bit more up scale. He did a very fantastic job. I showed it to my daughter and she was blown away. My price was more than reasonable and anyone that would complain I would just say. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I did and I am very happy. Thank you Steve and thank you PARADISE TATTOOS

Easy process. I was able to walk-in and schedule a same-day appointment. Rick is a very focused and talented artist. I am thrilled with my new tattoo and would highly recommend Paradise!

Das did great job on my wifes and my tattoos

Missi at the front helped us. She brought in Jenny, who is a piercer. They took the time to listen to our issues and help us pick out the absolute perfect jewelry. Really good experience. Would definitely recommend to anybody for your piercing and tattoo needs.

The fact that they want you to pay up front should have been my first red flag. But after waiting almost two hours and then telling someone that came in an hour after us that they’d “knock her piercing out” before doing my wife’s tattoo was the cherry on top. We were told we could be done by 1:45 and he was still tattooing someone else when we finally left at 2. We had to wait for the “Owner” to do the refund and when she came in tried to skip us and do the girls piercing. When my wife stepped in and told her she needed to refund us first this lady had the audacity to cut her eyes at us and give us attitude.

Went in with a non specific design in mind. The staff was excellent and very helpful. They didnt try to talk me into anything but allowed me to make my own decision about what I wanted. Then they were totally professional and did my tattoo just the way I wanted it. I will come back.

I just went in for a body piercing and they were super friendly, fast, and affordable!

Last weekend my fiancé and our two friends got friendship tattoos, what was meant to be a special experience was ruined by Rick (long pony tail). His energy was negative from the moment we entered the shop. He treated us as if we were an inconvenience he was rude in his responses and conversion. As he tried his best to enforce CDC requirements of wearing face masks he yelled at everyone who entered to wear their masks as far up their noses as possible, I found it odd that the entire time he was tattooing my friend he was continuously pulling his mask up using the same gloves he was tattooing my friend with! Pretty hypocritical or maybe his choice in mask was not the best quality, either way those actions cant be sanitary by any means. Tattoos are more than just the art it is the full experience created by the artist doing the work. Paradise Tattoo Inc was poorly represented and had we not paid a $350 deposit upfront I would have opted out of giving our business to you guys. The artist who did my fiancé and Is work was great and friendly I believe his name was Jazz (young Cubano) I hope he finds a shop where the atmosphere is friendlier in his career as a tattoo artist.

This is the second time we have gone in to get a tattoo and they did NOT disappoint! Dan was my tattoo artist and first is a down to earth cool guy who listens to what you want. After showing him what I was thinking he drew up the tattoo, and asked if I wanted it modified at all before starting. Very detailed artist and great at what he does, if I’m ever back in the Keys I would go to him again in a heartbeat!

Dan Paine - very talented artist! Great detail and experience. I highly recommend!

I was vacationing with friends in Key West and we had all planned on getting tattoos. We went into this establishment and the artist was rude and condescending. I asked who the owner was but needed up talking to the owners wife who acted like she could care less that their artist was rude and missed out on around 800.00 in business. I would think that any business given the economy during this pandemic would be more than happy to have any business and would treat their customers as that... customers.

Danny is incredibly talented and professional! We have gotten so many compliments on his work! My husband and I both received tattoos from him on our trip to Key West over Saint Pattys day weekend. We vow to only get tattoos at Paradise. We travel the country often and peruse artists nationwide. He is bar none, the best!!!! Ryan was extremely knowledgeable about piercing and the staff were all incredibly personable. We will be back.

Ok, I am 62 years old and Danny just finished my first tattoo. The best experience ever, talk about being out of my comfort zone, everyone made me feel welcome, the appointment was on time and I feel for the size tattoo I chose, I received good value and the shop is very clean.Danny is an true artist.

Dont be a fool!!! I asked numerous locals about where to get a good tattoo around here and every single one said to stay away from Paradise. Not only are they EXTREMELY overpriced but one of their artists, Lou, has had many complaints. locals warned me to stay clear of him. I decided to go in and check out the prices anyways. I had a picture of a sun and moon I wanted above my ankle, 3 inches tall and 4 inches wide. only 3 colors in the whole thing. they wanted to charge me $175! and acted as if it was a good price. I walked litterally one block up to southernmost and Rodney did it for $100 and it is absolutely gorgeous. Better than the picture! Dont rob yourself. Just walk one block up and know youre getting local prices and great service.

The people are very nice but the tattoo guy we had is terrible. The first guy on the right (in the window) Me and my fiancé went in to get tattoos. We’ve been back home in Atlanta for a week and the tattoo is already pretty much gone. It’s like he barley put the ink into the skin..

Great service and great staff! They worked with us to get my wife and I exactly what we wanted. Rik was our artist and delivered exactly what we wanted. Everyone working there was wonderful. I highly recommend them and we will be going back next time we are in town.

I went there at the recommendation of a friend of mine who has had extensive tattoo work done. For my first tattoo ever, they were very patient and very professional in helping me choose my first design. The work was exceptional. And every person that has seen my tattoo has been extremely complementary about the quality of work. I can only give them my highest recommendation. I will definitely be going back for another. The real John J.

I got my sunflower tattoo from Paradise Tattoo they did a phenomenal job but for a very pricy penny of $275. It was a bit high priced for its size I’d say. Other than that great at detailed work.

Over priced 😟I would NEVER go back there.....RIP OFF

Not really a review but a quick question, how much can a nose piercing go for there, I also want to get my belly button repierced and I have a set of rings still in the box that Id like to use but figure it will cost something to put it in, if anyone could help me out it would be much appreciated!! Thanks

Shout out to Steve Martin for designing and inking my new tattoo. The artwork is beautiful, colorful and exceeded my expectations. Practically painless. Love Steve and Paradise Tattoo.

Tommy did my wife and is compass tattoos. He was very calming for my wife and got our tattoos done quickly but still high quality. I highly recommend Paradise tattoo!! Thanks again!!

Came in on our stop from our cruise to get a “souvenir” and the employees were very nice and gladly accepted all 4 of us without an appointment! Rik was an awesome artist with a super great attitude and very helpful with our tattoos! Thank you so much, if I’m ever in the area again, I will be back for another tattoo!

Very professional, we love our tattoos

Been looking to get a Superman tattoo for years. Finally decided to get one while on vacation in key west. Checked out a few places and Paradise Tattoo seemed the best. Boy was it the right choice.The staff were really nice and helpful. Lou was my tattoo artist. He was very nice and did a awesome job! Made the first tattoo experience great!!If you want to get a tattoo in Key West this place is awesome!

Great place! People are super friendly, it’s clean and the prices are fair. Love my new tats

The fiancée and I stopped in to get some matching tattoos. It was my first and they made it really easy.

2 years living in key west and 16 years since my last tattoo. Came here to paradise tattoo and Rick divered above and beyond. My little girl loved the tattoo and the customer service is excellent. I will come back for sure!! Nani is an awesome hos,t Kylie is an incredible artist.overall I am beyond satisfied with the service and attention to detail. I highly recommend Paradise Tattoo!!
