I'm not inked, but many of my friends had their work done here, and I've hung around during the sessions. Owner Michelle Myles is an industry legend, and I witnessed Von Riepen do some outstanding work (and he really took the time to make sure the client's vision was captured perfectly). Mini portfolios are available for each artist online. If I ever get a tattoo, this is definitely where I'm headed.

I first met Chris Garver when he was working at this shop like over 10yrs.ago..The new fun city is so much nicer inside..They tend to focus on traditional work at the shop..This is the sister shop to Daredevil Tattoo.
Both shops are stocked with good tattooers.And they have guest artists working there at times too.

Got some lettering done here about a month ago and it turned out great.
I came in at around 6 ot 7 and had to waited till a guy I requested came in. We talked about what I wanted and we worked out how large the piece would be and also worked out a price. The staff was very helpful and professional, but also joked around a lot and made the experience easier. The tattoo itself came out great and I got exactly what I wanted.
Price here is a bit more expensive than most places, but this is a very established parlor with some history so the higher price is to be expected.
I got a difficult design tattooed on me by Elvis (awesome) and it came out great. The price, however, was a little...exorbitant. This is the place to go if you've got the money (as you can see when you go there with the pictures of various famous musicians, actors, etc. on the wall who got inked at Fun City).

For killer ink this is the place! My friends and I went in to get tattooed because we heard Johhny Depp got all his tattoos there and they had so many artist to pick from all with great work. They were friendly and helpful no attitudes! I'll never go anywhere else.
