Immortal Canvas

Both of my tattoos were done by Archie at Immortal Canvas — one almost 3 years ago and another 8 months ago. Archie is an amazingly talented artist with laser precision. If I ever decide to get a third, he’ll be my first and only call.
For my first, after taking FOREVER to decide and switching my design about 300 times, I ended up getting something completely different than what I gave Archie in my design consultation. Granted, I had a few months to think about it — it takes about 3 months to get into Archie’s jam-​packed schedule. Yes, he’s that good! Archie was very patient and non-​judging, emphasizing that tattoos are highly personal and my design should be exactly what I want. I ended up drawing my own and have never regretted it for a second. I wanted it on my foot, which Archie advised was the most painful place, but didn’t try to talk me out of it. It wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I had no idea what colors I wanted when I came for my appointment. We had a great discussion about color theory and went with analogous colors. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!
My second tattoo is especially meaningful. My mom, who is battling the most severe form of MS, wanted a tattoo for her 60^th birthday to symbolize her fight. I decided to get one with her and designed the image. Of course, I would go to none other than Archie. He refined the design and supplemented it with beautiful script he created. Hers says, «Strength for today, hope for tomorrow» and mine says, «I’ll stand by you». The image is a variation of an awareness ribbon, with the brightest bright orange to really pop — suggested by Archie.
Both tattoos have held up incredibly well. I’ve heard foot tattoos need retouched often, but after 3 years it still looks crisp and beautiful. Aftercare instructions were very clear, and when I had a concern about how my second was healing Archie was happy to answer my questions. He’s the only one I trust to stab me thousands of times with a needle!

Myself and a friend decided to get another tattoo, I know we all know that joke. But, seriously, we did. She reached out to Immortal Canvas and I’m glad we ended up there. A great clean atmosphere, fun and professional. We are beyond happy with the art and the experience. Now for another apt.

Clean, friendly, fast, informative (without condescension), and willing to put up with a lot of silliness. Can’t wait to get next piercing.

Got my ears pierced by Jesse at Immortal Canvas last week. Very professional and clean environment. So far I’m happy with the earrings… will report back later!

Anastasia just did a memorial tat for me of an angel over my right shoulder. Clean place and laid back. She was real easy to work with and reasonably priced. I wouldn’t hesitate to get more work done there.

I recently had the pleasure of getting some work done at Immortal Canvas and had an amazing experience. I designed a very complex celtic knot and wanted it tattooed on my deltoid. Those of you who are seasoned tattoo enthusiasts know that knot work is very difficult and time consuming, those who aren’t now know haha…
The pre-​tattoo process was made very easy as I was able to email the designs up to the artist for approval and consultation. Within two weeks the designs were reviewed and we had set an appointment.
I decided on an artist named Archie Payne, who is a very talented artist and a cool guy to hang with as well. Archie executed the extremely difficult line work to perfection. A good friend of mine was also getting a tattoo I designed for her, and hers was excellent as well.
I would recommend this shop to anyone, and I will definitely try to talk Archie into doing more work for me in the future.
