We’re reaching out on behalf of Allie Nichols, beloved wife of our tattoo artist Dorse Taylor, as she faces another tough fight in her life.
Allie was originally diagnosed with Stage 3B cancer and was scheduled to undergo a mastectomy. But just before her surgery, her condition progressed — the tumor returned, and the diagnosis changed to Stage 4 localized metastatic.
While the family has insurance, not all treatments are covered, and out-of-pocket costs can quickly become overwhelming. From medications and therapies to travel and time away from work, the financial stress adds to the emotional weight this incredible family carries.
Allie is a fighter, wanting to enjoy her time with 2-year-old Finn — but right now, they need more than prayers and good vibes. They need our help.
Please consider donating — no amount is too small. If you can’t give, sharing this campaign is just as meaningful.

This is my first tattoo… I can honestly say Inkcredible Tattoo is the place to go. From the moment my daughters and I entered the door we were greeted by the shop manager, who welcomed us with warmth and a sense of ease, putting my nerves to rest. He also made my tattooing space comfortable for my daughters to witness/travel this journey with me. AWESOME customer service… Much Thanks! But what’s amazing; it didn’t stop there… the entire shop’s atmosphere and team members made us feel genuinely welcome and at home. Thank you!!
Lastly I want to express my sincere gratitude to my tattoo artist Ely… I appreciate you young lady; your patience, calm spirit, and knowledge in achieving and delivering my first tattoo. YOU NAILED IT SPOT ON!!!! Thank you, thank you!!🥳🥳🥳

If I could give the atmosphere a 10, that's what it deserves. So many incredibly talented artists who have unique and beautiful spaces to create your dream tattoo. Appointments required so book a free consultation to meet the artists and see the space. I can't wait to go back!

Mattlock the owner is doing my work and I am more than happy with how it is coming out, he is an amazing artist and very talented. I have seen the work that the other artist in the shop have done and they all do very good work and are very talented. Highly recommend getting your next piece of work done here.

5/5 stars does not do this shop justice - it is easily a 10!
Having never been to a tattoo shop before I didn't know what to expect. Inkcredible Tattoo exceeded my expectations through and through. Firstly, the staff is super nice + caring. They made sure I was comfortable before, during and after my appointment and listened to any questions/comments/concerns I had. The best way I can explain this shop is it genuinely felt like I was at someone's house hanging out with my friends. It has such a cozy + inviting vibe and I loved how each of the artist's studios had their own personality. Most importantly I want to give a HUGE shoutout to my artist, Brian, who was amazing. Not only was he super thorough throughout the process but he was patient, kind, took the time to get to know me and hear my perspective on what I wanted and then brought it to life. This was my first tattoo and he made the process incredibly comfortable and easy - I cannot thank him enough!! I really can't rave enough about this shop, too. Everyone from the shop manager Ryan, other artists at the shop as well as other staff are all invested in your tattoo journey and helping ensure you have a great experience along the way. If you're considering getting a tattoo this should be the place you go, hands down.

An amazing shop and artists! When I entered, it was very clear to see that this shop was opened with every detail in mind, just a beautiful interior from the entrance, common areas, and awesome private studios for each artist. I was lucky to be connected with Brian after discussing what I was looking for, and can’t wait to continue to see him for all my future tattoos. I have many tattoos - bad, average, and good - but by far the cleanest work I have done in my in 26yrs from when I got my first tattoo - every line is perfect, he spent time designing exactly what I wanted and what would look the best, and he was correct on everything (trust you artist!) Highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for quality work (not a quick wall tattoo) and I’m sure you can’t go wrong with any artist, but can say I would definitely recommend Brian!

Had my first session here and it went excellent. The shop is clean, professional, and has a great atmosphere, and everyone on staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in.
Mattlock was outstanding to work with. He took the time to really understand the design, was great to talk through ideas with, and the execution on the first session exceeded my expectations. I’m extremely pleased with how everything turned out so far, and I have several more sessions to go.
Highly recommend this shop and Mattlock if you’re looking for quality work and a great overall experience.

I came here to get a japanese tattoo on my chest and full arm. I’m on my second session and so far it’s looking super clean. Artist brian doing a beautiful job on this piece, his attention to detail was exceptional. His professionalism and creativity really shone through, we was worried on how it will come out but so far it looks better just by looking at this one piece. Can’t wait to see the full thing when it’s fully done. It is my first time getting a big tattoo and i don’t regret coming here at all to get it done. This place is amazing, the environment is clean and comfortable, awesome customer service and overall it’s just great. I would come here anytime i want a new tattoo done and definitely recommend.

I am so pleased with my pet portrait tattoo done by Brian yesterday! I lost my sweet boy back in October, and Brian did a phenomenal job bringing one of my favorite pictures of him to life on my skin. Not only does Brian possess amazing artistry skills, but he also made sure that I was comfortable throughout the entire experience, and we sparked up some great conversations in the duration of my tattoo. The ambiance of his studio and just the overall comfort I felt sitting through a 3.5 hour tattoo was unmatched by any other studio I’ve been to. Brian also helped me pick the right spot to put my portrait piece and it wasn’t my original intention. He was patient with me as I picked the spot that we both felt would look best, I’m so glad he offered his advice because I truly think I would’ve been unhappy with the outcome of the spot I had initially chosen. I will definitely be coming back to Inkcredible tattoo for future projects and will reference this shop to anyone looking for a well done tattoo done in comfort! Looking forward to my next session in a couple of weeks to complete my tattoo! Thank you to Brian and the incredible staff at Inkcredible tattoo!
