Amy Zager is a polished and professional badass. 100% would get tattooed by her again.I reached out to her for one of my bucket list tattoos and quite enjoyed the whole process. I had a general idea but not all the details and she was great at asking the right questions to get a shared mental model.I'm so in love with the result. Worth traveling for and worth waiting for her schedule to open up (there's a reason it is so full!). Also, her studio is a fever dream in the best possible way - I could look at the art on the walls for hours.

Amy’s art is nothing short of magical - give her free rein with your idea and she will exceed your wildest imagination. She was so supportive throughout our multi day session and I can’t wait to complete our project. Her space is awesome - clean and friendly and wonderfully reflects her fantastic personality. I love my new Amy Zager original artwork I get to keep for my whole life ❤️

I've gotten three tattoos from Amy, and the artwork and experience are always top notch. Her designs always blow out of the water what I had in my own head. Her accuracy is so good that my father, who has dementia, was able to recognize a bridge from Yosemite that she replicated on my shoulder. Cannot recommend her enough (and she's fun to talk with too).

Amy is a true artist. Come to her with a vague idea and she will turn it into a work of art. You can easily see that from her portfolio. What you don’t see from her portfolio is her energy, her kindness and care she puts into each session. Her studio is cozy and colorful; really reflecting her personality. Amy is one of those rare gifted people who make you feel welcome, cared for and heard through the whole tattoo process. There are not enough adjectives in the English language to express how much you need her as your tattoo artist.

Where to even begin. Amy is such a wonderful person and an absolutely amazing tattoo artist. Starting from the concept of the tattoo she made the process so simple and easy and really helped bring my vision to life. Her studio is extremely clean and inviting and you can tell that she takes great pride in her space. She is a delight to talk to and made getting through each one of my sessions on this piece so much easier. I always felt so comfortable when I came in for my sessions and she made sure that was the case as well. If you are looking for any universe inspired tattoos, any watercolor based tattoos, or any portrait combined with nature, Amy is definitely the one to see! Thank you again Amy for such a wonderful experience and the amazing art piece I get to enjoy and show off.

If there were 💯 stars, it would be it. First off, Amy is an amazing artist! She's easy to talk to and is very accommodating. I've gotten one half sleeves from her and now working on my leg piece. Her studio is inviting, warm, and colorful all at the same time. If you can get on her books, do so... Because this artist here is one of the kind!

I recently got a tattoo by Amy and it was such an amazing experience. She took my idea and made such a wonderful tattoo. She is so sweet and answered all my questions about this tattoo but also my older tattoos and tattooing in general. She explained what she was doing at times and I really appreciated that. And her studio is awesome and nice and clean. I am in love with my tattoo and her care and energy during the whole process. I definitely will be back whenever I have another colorful tattoo idea.Services: Abstract tattoos, Color ink tattoos

This was my first tattoo, so I was told all kinds of stories. Turned out to be the most amazing experience! Amy is extremely hygienic, made me comfortable every step of the way, she is warm and intelligent so conversations flowed easily, and incredibly talented with the needle so it went by quickly. As far as pain, from 1 to 10, let's say period cramps is a 6, I'd put this at a 4. A couple weeks out and it's healing nicely, bright colors are coming through and I have my sweet boy with me forever . She's a diamond in human form!

TLDR: Amy is the best tattoo artist I have come across thus far (I have 9 different tattoos from 8 different artists). Her work is perfect and she works very hard to make it so. Her communication is stellar both before and after completing the piece. I HIGHLY recommend!I cannot express how amazing Amy is!! I also found her while browsing Instagram and immediately knew what I wanted to get from her. She communicated with me on multiple platforms and never took more than a day to get back to me. She is very sweet and was very open about pricing and booking availability. I got in quicker than I expected, which rocked. I arrived at the shop early and she was already there. The shop itself is decorated wonderfully and is very inviting. We chatted a bit about the piece and the amount of detail versus the cost before settling on a sketch. After, we played with sizing a little and it was clear that she loved the piece just as much as I did and was willing to do whatever she needed to make it perfect for me. I usually get nervous while being tattooed but conversing with her was easy throughout and she even explained certain processes/techniques when I would ask random questions! The piece is PERFECT and I cannot wait to see what she does with the rest of my arm (I knew I wanted a sleeve before this piece but now I know she is the perfect person to give this real estate to)! See you soon, Amy!Service: Tattoos

I recently had the pleasure of getting a watercolor tattoo from the incredibly talented artist, Amy Zager. From start to finish, the entire experience was nothing short of amazing.First off, the consultation process was thorough and thoughtful. Amy took the time to really listen to my ideas and preferences, and offered her expert advice on how to bring my vision to life in a way that would work well with watercolor technique. She was patient, kind, and attentive throughout the entire process, and made me feel completely at ease.When it came time for the actual tattooing, I was blown away by her skill and precision. She worked with such careful attention to detail, taking her time to create a piece that was truly stunning. The colors were vibrant and blended beautifully, creating a piece that looks like a painting on my skin. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.But perhaps what I appreciated most about Amy was her professionalism and kindness. She was incredibly accommodating to my needs throughout the entire process, checking in with me regularly to make sure I was comfortable and happy with the direction of the tattoo. She also went above and beyond in terms of aftercare instructions and follow-up, making sure I knew exactly how to care for my new ink to ensure it heals properly.Overall, I cannot recommend Amy enough. If you're looking for a watercolor tattoo artist who is not only incredibly skilled, but also kind, patient, and professional, look no further. Her work truly speaks for itself, and I feel incredibly lucky to display the work of such a talented artist!

I saw Amy for my first tattoo and the experience was excellent. Her consultation form was thorough and her communication was helpful and friendly. The design she created from my description was spot-on and the entire appointment went incredibly smoothly. Amy put me right at ease and the final product was amazing. The level of detail is something that impressed me greatly and really elevated the tattoo to extraordinary.

WOW! Amy was an angel. From start to finish of my session. She welcomed me in with open arms, worked her magic, and gave me the most beautiful galaxy style tattoo ever! I am so happy and pleased with her work, and the care she gave to me throughout the whole process. Highly recommend her if you are wanting a tattoo that stands out and is as vibrant as can be. Thank you Amy- Can’t wait to have another session with you soon!Services: Color ink tattoos, Female tattoos, Tattoos

I stumbled upon Amy's work on Instagram and immediately knew she was the right person to do a portrait of my dog who had just recently passed away. She captured him perfectly and the attention to detail just let's his personality shine through. My heart is so happy having this beautiful tribute to my grumpy old man on me.Thank you, thank you, thank you, Amy! You have no idea how much this piece means to meService: Tattoos

Amy is an amazing artist who’s work is some of the absolute best in the business! Aside from her work being amazing she is also a super kind person and was so easy to work with. When I came in she had a beautiful picture ready to go and made sure it had everything I wanted. She did a great job explaining everything to me so that I would get the best tattoo for me. The whole process from filling out the initial form to the completed tattoo was great. I would take 100 more tattoos from her and can’t recommend her enough.Service: Tattoos

Hands down the best tattoo artist I've ever worked with. She's so professional, and a true genius. Amy's artwork speaks for itself, but her care about making sure you are comfortable and taken care of makes it impossible not to be a repeat client. Can not recommend Amy enough!Service: Tattoos

This woman has done all 5 of my tattoos. All are amazing. Good tableside manner too, you won't find a nicer person to needle you for 3 hour increments. Also she did a painting of our pup which made a great wedding gift.

Amy is amazing and her work is so beautiful… I dreamed of getting tattooed by her and I am SO thrilled with the outcome. She took my idea and creative freedom and came up with something lovely. I can’t stop looking at it… can’t wait to get another piece done by her! Also she was super professional/clean and just a pleasure to chat with while getting the work done. She made me feel at ease!Service: Tattoos

Amy is amazing. She is everything you'd want in a good friend, and even more a fantastic artist/tattooist. I currently have one large tattoo from her, and 2 more scheduled. My first time walking in for a consult she immediately put me at ease, immediately made the process clear and easy. I had expressed reservations that I have a nickel allergy and was very nervous of a reaction. She was the only artist I had reached out to, to immediately suggest a nickel allergy test. So I now have a small "rainbow" tattoo on my ankle to make sure I wouldn't have an issues. The fact she even considered doing that makes me want to stick with her for all my work. I trust her artistic process, and I trust her to understand my vision. If she doesn't, I know she will ask questions until she does. Her work is vibrant and beautiful. My mermaid is currently just over a year but still looks like brand new with gently settled ink.Tl;dr: Amy is amazing. If you like/love her work, you will 1000% love what she does and how she does it. Just do it, and you will not regret it. I'm sure glad I got my first tattoo at 30, and will continue to go to her for (hopefully) many more.

I flew 5 hrs to get a tattoo from Amy because her artwork is outstanding. Totally worth it! She helped memorialize my pittie, and help give me closure. Her work was quick and meticulous, and she was kind, and explained everything she was doing. I’ve never had an artist spend so much time making sure everything was exceedingly clean, and that the skin was being cared for appropriately along this process.I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a tattoo!!Service: Tattoos

Amy’s work have changed my life. The amount of self esteem I have gained since having my watercolor hand tattoo is immeasurable. It makes me feel beautiful... because it is and because it reflects who I am inside too. I also recently had Amy tattoo my feet and I never wear shoes or socks anymore, even though it’s winter in the Midwest. I feel so light and lovely whenever I look down at the art that is my feet.They are perfect.

Amy is an artist above everything. I gave Amy a concept for a piece in memory of my dad. She took it and ran and created something so amazing and unique. She’s also a really fun gal and the time flies by when getting work done by her. It’s been 7ish years since she tattooed me and the colors are still vibrant and beautiful. I hope to some day cross paths with her again for another work of art!Service: Tattoos

Amy is as talented as she is professional. My husband and I are both lucky enough to carry her art around with us permanently. Each time we have worked with her she paid incredible attention to detail, has given us exactly what we were looking for, all while making sure we are as comfortable as possible during a potentially uncomfortable process! If you are lucky enough to score an appointment with Amy, go for it. You won’t be disappointed.

When I first saw one of Amy’s tattoos ( a portrait of a dog) I immediately knew I HAD to have her tattoo a portrait of one of my dogs on me! I emailed, scheduled and patiently waited! She is incredibly professional, kind, caring and talented. Since then I have 3 other tattoos from her and already planning my next! I cannot tell enough people about her! My first tattoo is over 2 years old and looks fantastic!

Amy does wonderful work and I have come back to her many times to add flowers to my sleeve tattoo. Her work has an intense color payout and I can not speak highly enough about her style and technique. I get compliments on my sleeve every day. I have, and will, keep coming back to her for more art.

Amy is absolutely amazing!!! She was incredibly helpful during the design process when I was just throwing ideas her way and trying to explain an idea that only lived in my head. But she did a beautiful job of making it come to life. The space was always clean and everyone was great about wearing masks too!
