Very professional, even though I came in just at closing and he never indicated as such. Too many places would have told you to come back at another time. I got an appointment and will be glad doing business with them.

I had my first tattoo done and Steve was amazing.
When he first greeted me he asked me how I was doing and I told him I was nervous. From that moment on, I felt like I was treated like a friend, he was easy to talk to, kept encouraging me to make changes to make sure that I was 100% comfortable with the tattoo and location and then told me what to expect for after care.
The tattoo exceeded my expectations.

I cannot speak highly enough of or tell everyone who asks where I've had my work done about American Anchor Tattoo! Steve is my Go-to Guy but both he and Pat are Amazing Artists. They take time to understand what you're looking to get done and work with you to get it right. I am always so happy and blown away with the results! The shop is very cool with a relaxing vibe. They are Very Clean, very Professional! I will post my next piece once it is complete (it's a bigger one). Thank you both for offering your services and sharing your talents as respected Artists.

This was the absolute worse experience in my life. I asked if they could darken a tattoo and they told me I gave them bad vibes. They told me multiple times in front of people I had bad vibes, not sure the hostility. That made me extremely uncomfortable and they also asked me to cancel my appoint and said "perfect" absolutely pathetic and will 0/10 recommend to anyone! It is disgusting to speak down on someone in front of others and then ask me to cancel my appointment. If I could have recorded this experience and shared it, I would have.

Pat and Steve are Great Artists first and foremost. Pat has just finished his second piece on me a full back commemorating the Friends I've lost in combat. He did an amazing job. I would and have recommended this shop to all my com-padres in the Military. The shop is clean and the guys are upfront with their clients

Steve Skelly is incredibly talented. If you are interested in a realistic black and gray portrait tattoo Steve is your man. I lost my best friend almost four years ago. Thanks to Steve I now wear him on my right arm for life. He absolutely nailed his likeness. I'm 100% satisfied with the work and would never consider going to anyone else. In addition Steve is a really good dude. You will be completely comfortable dealing with him. Definitely recommend. 5 star all the way.

Steve is amazing. Professional, friendly, and talented. I am having a decent sized piece on my calf and could not be happier with the work. We made a few tweaks when I got there. He is really easy to talk to and explain what I wanted. He also uses his own experience to help guide you so you can end up with the best tattoo possible.
As I sat there getting tattooed yesterday a few people walked in and out. Steve was super nice to everybody and it really makes it a nice experience. Other shops I have been in are a little standoffish or not welcoming but this shop is great for anybody.
