The Scene
Neon blue flames lick the glass in front. Inside it's bright, white and completely sterile.
Pick Your Poison
Peruse glass cases filled with ear plugs, tongue rings and body jewelry of every size, shape and color. The walls are covered with illustrations, from elegant abstract images to stereotypical hearts with banners. Decide what you want, gather your courage and head on back.
Doin' the Deed
If you're getting inked, step into one of the curtained booths. The tattoo artists do impressive work, especially with color. Those getting pierced head upstairs, where trained and certified piercers soothe your nerves and kindly explain every step along the way. Just make sure to walk in sober as a judge or get rejected (alcohol increases blood flow--not a good thing when you're getting steel rods shoved through body parts).

I went to Blue Devil after we went to 4 or 5 other shops. My boyfriend was looking to cover up and old tattoo, and I wanted some stars on my foot. The second we walked in there I knew we picked the right place! They looked at his arm, drew up a pic and it was done. Took about 3 hours for his and about 30 mins for mine. His was done by a visiting artist, absolutely amazing work he did. Mine was done by Esben. First let me say what a great artist, he free handed the stars on my foot and they look amazing! I couldn't have imagined it coming out better. The staff was awesome, very clean, and great people. I am going to get another, and I will not go anywhere else now.

I came this this tattoo shop with an idea of a tattoo that ive wanted for years. More than one of the tattoo artist (including the guy in the chair) made me feel stupid about the tattoo that i wanted. For as much money as they wanted for a tattoo the size of quarter/half dollar they shouldve been more than happy to do my tattoo. I was happy that i decided to not get tattooed here. After I decided to not go here I met a girl who had a few tattoos from here and she HATED them. She was told me she was trying to figure out what she could cover the tattoo up with. And it wasnt even the choice of tattoo its how bad it was. SO, IN OTHER WORDS DONT GO HERE FOR SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO BE ON YOU BODY FOR THE REST OF YOU LIFE.

OK first let me say EVERYONE I talked to about getting tattooed suggested Blue Devil in Ybor. I thought I had good tattoos on my body but after getting 1 from Blue Devil I will never go anywhere else! I am even having some of the ones I got at other places covered up by them. Soon as I opened the door it smelled super clean and was spotless. The guy at the counter was very polite, helpful , and very knowlegable. Other times ive been in shop its like you have to pull teeth to get help or they seem rude and like your wasting their time or something but not here! these guys and girls were the best! from start to finish its a pleasure every time. I've been tattooed by Jennifer Lynn, Ed-E and Esben so far an each of them were great people and did an amazing job on my tattoo work. Took a friend in last month an he got a really cool tattoo by a guest artist named Thomas, I thought it was cool how they have different and very talented guest artist each month.I cant say enough about this shop!! Its always a pleasure and now that I have been there a few times they treat me like part of the family and always hook me up!! keep up the amazing job guys!! sure ill be seeing you again soon..

One of Tampa Bay's Best:
Nominated for Best Tattoo/Piercing Parlor for being hip while lacking pretension, and for running a medically sound ship.
Adults Only:
You've gotta be 18 for any sort of body modification. And Blue Devil cards, so don't even think about sneaking by.
The Crowd:
This is Ybor—expect to see everyone from bikers covered head to toe in tattoos, club kids getting their navels done and uptight businesswomen piercing nipples.
