Martin did an amazing job on my tattoo! He was recommended to me by friends. I had an idea, and a few pictures. He combined it all to make a beautiful piece, that has special meaning to me. Highly recommended!![]()

Edit to add!! Mishayla, the new piercer has helped out 2 new clients that were told at other shops they didn't have the "right body" that needed special tools or the "wrong anatomy" the last two times I was in. One stop shop FOR SURE. I've gotten a ton of work from Jeff in various parts of my body and had nothing but great results. I've been coming since Jeff started and have let him exclusively tattoo my sleeve with excellent results. All of the artists are very well versed in their craft; each has the independence to do every style, also, each of them have their own preferred style so you can certainly get whatever you can imagine! This tattoo shop has been here for over 20 years and it has no sign of stopping. Check out their designs for yourself and schedule an appointment as soon as you can!![]()

Guess I’ll fix a review that a childish person left because a certain individual who can’t put FEELINGS aside has to try and degrade a professional tattoo artist over a disagreement. Jeff is a very knowledgeable and professional artist who exceeds the limit of creating the art you want on your body. I applaud his efforts in being able to set aside relationship’s for his business (as others seem to not be able to). Please don’t let one bad review deter your thoughts on this AMAZING artist over one dumb degenerate who can’t take the word NO for an answer.![]()

My best friend and I set an appointment for super last minute next day matching tattoos. When we went in, everyone was super welcoming. Our artist Brett told us he was a little behind (about 20 minutes). We ended up waiting about 1 hour for him to catch up but the wait was well worth it. Brett felt terrible so he ended up making us a deal for the two tattoos even though his work, in my opinion, cost more than what he charged. While doing the tattoos, he took his time and compared my friends and mine side by side so they were exactly the same, and explained the "greywash" process when we were worried about the shading being too heavy. I am beyond pleased with Brett and White Buffalo. If I am ever looking for a tattoo in the area again, I won't hesitate to make this my first choice.![]()

Martin has been more than an artist to me he has been like a brother. I walked into his shop May 19 2009 a broken beaten down and destroyed fresh 18 year old boy who’s mother had violently withered to nothing from cancer in a span of 30 days. Trying to explain a tattoo through a flood of tears and confused emotion. Yet Martin wasn’t annoyed or even upset at this incohirent babbling kid he treated me as family like any brother would to help another. He has provided a service for me that is far beyond the call of any tattoo artist even should or has to. I now have a sleeve , a full chest , and countless others including a what I’m calling a sock lmao (which Martin wasn’t happy about but still did with a smile) . All of which were done by Martin. And my point is this place is more than a shop for most of us it’s a safe haven, a refuge, your local pshychiatrist if there was a 6 star option it would be there.![]()

This is not my first time there. When I moved to Dunnellon, a friend/ neighbor had a great tattoo and I asked him where he had it done, since then my wife and I have been customers. The shop is really cool looking, and they are meticulously clean and professional about everything. There’s decades of experience among the artist, and they are all really creative about design ideas. The price is beyond reasonable for the quality of work, and the entire staff is friendly and pleasant to be around. Great place for a first tattoo, a cover up, or fixing and finishing an existing piece. Piercing is perfect every time, and my wife and I are more than satisfied with the tattoo work we’ve had done so far, and we will definitely continue to return as loyal customers. If you want a tattoo, or have an idea of what you want done, and you just haven’t found the right artist, look no further. You will not be disappointed trusting your body art to White Buffalo.![]()

Went here a few weeks ago after my 18th birthday. Got a Celtic knot tattoo, she was really nice and supportive. At one point I believe she realized I really needed a break, so she went ahead and got me a bottle of water and gave me a 5ish minute break. Would highly recommend for anyone getting their first tattoo, or just getting a tattoo in general.![]()
