Editorial Review for Blue Devil Tattoo Gallery – by Jen Robbins

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).

Insider Tips

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.

I had to write it for all of you to see. I just moved to Brandon from Maine. I had a tattooer in my home town so when I moved here I had to find another. This shop isnt the only tattoo place I went into but the only one I went back to. I love my tattoos and the nipple piercings. So if your not sure where to go. Its worth it to go by. Tell them I told you to. Kissy

Pros: Hot staff

Cons: Im married

The Blue Devil has a cool atmosphere about it; not to mention that it is most definitely the cleanest shop in Tampa Bay. I arrived shortly after opening with a design I wanted to get done. They not only drew it up for me, but also squeezed me into the schedule so I could get it done that same day; which was great considering it took about 2 hours to complete. Esben was probably one of the coolest dudes I had ever met; very relaxed but also funny. He made the whole experience one I'll never forget, and the 2 hours felt more like 20 minutes. For all my future tattoo's, I will heading straight back to the blue devil and hoping back into Esben's chair to get another awesome piece done. I highly highly highly recommend!!!

Pros: Cleanliness, Friendliness, Parking, Awesome-ness

Cons: None
