Customer's reviews

Omar is a great artist with amazing skills. I went in with a octopus tattoo on my left forearm looking for a design to complete the sleeve. We had an in person meetup consult and discussed ideas and basic concepts. About a week later we had a follow up consult and Omar had a great design drawn up. We tweaked a few ideas and tossed in some additional details to tie everything together. I ended up doing two days back to back to get the entire sleeve finished. I did use a numbing, recommended by Omar and it helped a lot. Tattoos, especially larger ones can be painful and while the cream helped you can never eliminate all discomfort. I am super happy with the end result and highly recommend Omar if you are considering a project for your tattoo art. ~ John G
Omar is a tattoo maestro. My gratitude abounds for the superior service you provided and for crafting such a masterpiece. If you are interested in getting a tattoo, Socrates Ink Gallery Tattoo Studio is the place to go. A definite 5 out of 5 rating! Omar, all the best as you continue to expand your brand in the tattoo industry. Update: A year and 7 months later since my first piece, I returned to Omar for my forearm tattoo and once again, he exceeded every expectation. He took my vision and transformed it into a true masterpiece. If you’re looking for exceptional artistry and top-tier service, Socrates Ink Gallery is the place to go. Omar, your talent is extraordinary , and it shines through in every detail of your work. Thank you for sharing your gift. ~ Coleman C
If you’re looking to get tatted, OMAR IS THE GUY TO GO TO!!! The entire process of getting tatted was fantastic. He was able to give me the entire layout of how we’re gonna do this and worked DILIGENTLY in such a short time!!! Being that this was my first tattoo, I was very nervous coming into it, but Omar was able to make me and my mom watching from the sidelines, EXTREMELY comfortable!! Was gentle handed and you could tell how bad he wanted to put his all into this tattoo and I appreciate it to the max!!! The service and the other artists were amazing and really cool and overall just a great experience!! Will definitely be back and I plan on referring Omar to ANYONE who’s looking to get tatted!! ~ Robert J
