Simply amazing. I came across Artem’s (forestbandit) instagram account and was super impressed by his portfolio and decided to pay him a visit for some work. My piece is a work in progress given the size but so far I love it!!!! Artem’s artistry and passion for what he does is evident in the attention to detail in every line, color and shade! I have many tattoos and this is already my favorite, it’s identical to the photo I gave him of what I wanted. He’s super impressive; if you want a high quality tattoo that you won’t regret, reach out and book some time with him! Also, the shop was super clean, all the artist were highly skilled and vibes were amazing too.

Artem is a true artist! He really listened to what I wanted and created something even more beautiful than I had imagined. It was a long day covering up a tattoo that I got at 19 with something meaningful to who I am at 55. Artem was thoughtful and kind and checked in all along the way. I cannot recommend him enough!

Great experience for my first multi-hour tattoo. Design and work by Dmitry. Friendly atmosphere and clean. Result was more than I’d envisioned. Was fun to track progress with other clients through the day. Community vibe.

I have had two sessions with Artem so far and the experience at Banana Peel Tattoo has been absolutely incredible. Artem is amazing to collaborate with during the design process. He truly listens, brings ideas to life, and his realism and attention to detail in my pieces are next level. I just scheduled two more sessions because I trust his work that much and I am beyond excited. He also introduced me to a pain relief spray that made sitting for a seven hour session significantly more comfortable, which was a total game changer. I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Artem or this shop. The talent, professionalism, and overall experience have been outstanding. I highly recommend Banana Peel Tattoo if you are looking for high quality work and an artist who truly cares about both the process and the final result.

First tattoo. My dogs nose print in memory of his passing. Artem walked me through everything, made me feel super comfortable and talked to me during the whole tattoo. It made my first experience great and cathartic in remembering my dog. Everything was clean and friendly. I could tell Artem really cares and understands the importance of a pet or personal tattoo and making that happen for the client. Also was able to send daily photo updates of my tattoo to make sure it healed right and looked good after second skin came off. Price is high, but worth every penny as the work is excellent. Can’t put a price on a memory. Whenever I decide to get my next tattoo it will be here and recommending to all my friends to switch tattoo artist to here.
