I have multiple tattoos and have been to different artists each time. I don’t have any complaints about any of them, but my recent experience with Paulie at Magnolia Tattoo Company deserves more than 5 stars and a shout out to the universe. From our first interaction via email, Paulie made it clear that he understood that this tattoo was very special to me. He worked with me for months to help design a 3/4 sleeve. As others mention in their reviews, Paulie is a passionate, talented artist. He didn’t just ask me what I wanted and where I wanted it. He talked about the muscles and structure of my arm and shared his thoughts and ideas on what he felt would work best. I’ve never had that kind of collaborative interaction before with other tattoo artists. It was what I have been searching for!
We started on it this week, and I’m not only blown away by his artistic talent but by his genuine interest in my story and why this tattoo is important to me. He made sure my experience was not only comfortable but actually enjoyable. We listened to Tom Waits and talked about films, both integral parts of my tattoo. What an awesome experience! I’m grateful to Paulie for taking on my special project. I look forward to future sessions as my long-imagined idea comes to life.

Paulie is the most talented artist I have ever worked with. He is a true artist. Not only is he incredibly talented but also the most personable and wonderful human being. He made my consultation and session the best experiences. My tattoo is incredible and I get compliments on it every time it’s seen. Can’t wait to work with him again in the future.

Paulie is the by far the best black/white/gray artist I’ve come across in all of my years, and I was lucky enough to have found him after moving to this state not too long ago. Shop is very clean and cool, there is so much to look at. His work is beautiful, and he really listens to what you want and brings your ideas to life 10x better than you could ever imagine. He is very friendly, educated, funny and relatable, tattoo appointments feel like hanging out with an old friend you’re catching up with. Excited for our journey together to complete my sleeve.
Update: Sleeve is complete after a couple months. Every bit of thought and energy this man put into my work made my sleeve better than I could’ve ever imagined. I’m full of bad decisions and regrets typically but this is easily one of my best decisions and proudest moments. Every appointment was amazing, beyond thankful for this man and all that he does. Wish nothing but the best for him and his business.

Cozy place to get a tattoo. Paul is the best. He's very time efficient while still putting in the best work. His attention to detail is amazing and he makes each piece unique and perfect.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Paulie. He listened, patiently adapted an image I had to make it closer to what I wanted, and made really perfect suggestions based on his vast experience and impressive skill level. This is probably the best shop experience I’ve ever had - calm, relaxing, and completely unique. The subject matter of this tattoo means a lot to me, and Paulie thoughtfully and empathetically created a tattoo I love. I can’t recommend him or his studio enough.
