Jana is the best. This was my first tattoo and she did it perfectly despite my mini panic attack 3/4 through the session. Highest recommendations. She did the anniversary tattoos for my wife and me

Jenn Hoff

Wayne King is top notch! Going above and beyond for my husband who is deploying. We will definitely be using this business again!

Sweet Heart

Friendly shop that makes you feel welcomed. Amazing tattoo artist, that are super chill to talk and joke with. I strongly recommend J Rock!! Dude is freaking talented! Work in photos is done by him.. the start of my beauty and the beast sleeve.. this is just the line work alone and it's already badass looking. He also did my little Jason Voorhees tattoo on my right arm.

Forrest Yingling

Kyle did my eyebrow piercing and did a fantastic job! No pain, very clean, friendly, personable, and made me feel comfortable. I will be returning back to him for more piercings! He also let me pick out what color eyebrow ring I wanted. I recommend Kyle over Jordan for piercings. Thanks again Kyle!

Wayne King is a top notch tattoo artist. Won't go to anyone else

Krista Jackson

For my 6th tattoo, this is by far my favorite! I went in the shop with the intention of a lot of art work, in too small of a space. Thankfully, he is honest and didn't just jump at the idea I gave him! After our consultation, we came up with an image that was perfect! He was extremely detailed in his work! The lines are precise, the shading is perfect, and I couldn't be more pleased with the final product! I will absolutely be making my future appointments at this shop! He actually took the time to listen to what I wanted, instead of just making suggestions. Really awesome and laid back atmosphere. Great music too! ????

Sevil James was able to get me in his schedule for my 18th birthday and did an amazing job!!! Was very honest and helpful to make my tattoo look the best! I'm definitely coming back for more tattoos! :)

Ya’akova Sobel

I’ve been coming to Built To Last for years. My tattoos look amazing and I get compliments on them all the time. I would recommend them to anyone. Sevil the owner is a great artist and also works with you to make your environment comfortable. Kurt Windish is another great artist that works out of this shop. I will continue to get my awesome art from this shop.

Eric Duncan

On point and clean friendly staff

eric perthel

Excellent work. Very professional. Kurt is my guy. Meticulous.

Lisa Kilhefner

Can’t say enough great stuff about this shop. My sister and I just got our second tattoos from the owner, Sevil James – who kindly rebooked us after the shop was shut down for COVID. It was completely worth the wait because his work is incredible, painstakingly detail-oriented and gorgeous. He won’t start the ink until you’re 100% comfortable with the design and placement, and won’t finish until he knows it’s exactly perfect. He is a true artist and professional, with a chill demeanor and cool vibe. He made our ideas come alive in ways we could never have imagined. The shop is clean and all the artists are friendly. Definitely come get your ink done here, you won’t be disappointed. We’ll be coming back as long as we can. Thanks to Sevil – you are the man.

Zach Shoff

Only place ill ever go for tatts

Chris Clausen

I was tattooed by the owner, Sevil, and I have no complaints. My tattoo is ultra clean, and so were his procedures. Following covid standards and making me feel over all safe and comfotable.

Kyle Miller

Highly experienced staff with years of artistic capabilities under their belts!!

Tabatha Cushman

Amazing artists.

Kevin Parker

I've had the privilege of getting some artwork done there by guy named May. Service was excellent good conversation very professional I highly recommend

Leper Res

Tammy is the best. Others seem ok as well I guess. I have a lifetime artist here.

Patricia Hollinger

Real

Barry Fetrow

Great freaking work

Hannah Church

A friend of mine swears by B2L2, and we needed a shop opened on a Sunday past a certain time, so we chose B2L. I have no idea what the guy's name was- who tattooed something onto my body forever. He didn't explain anything about what he was doing to me, a first timer, and didn't talk to me at all while he was doing it. It was a crazy easy tattoo- literally the word feminist with a period and he made a comment about how "you feminists are weird people." Once he was done. I regret tipping him.

Matthew Phillips

Great quality. Great work. Wonderful prices. Thank you Maye!

Ashley Joines

Jana is amazing

Shannon Black

I have been going to B2L for 20 years!! They are the best in professional artwork, and tattoo!! Sevil is doing a leg piece that is LEGIT!! I always recommend B2L to anyone looking to get tattoo work!! B2L Til Death ????☠????

Mark Williams

Been going here for years and lots of ink Don did some Jordan now does all my ink. Great dude and awesome artist

eric william

I’ve been tattooed over a dozen times here and have the utmost respect for Sevil and his shop. I will continue to support and have even brought my daughter here for her college graduation gift!

Jack Miller

Sevil is an awesome artist Listens to what you want Comes up with an ideaTakes the timeTo produce what you want All aroundGreat experienceLooking forward to having many more tattoos done.

Lynn Young

Dan at the shop was very friendly me and my wife were looking to get some work done on Sunday even with all the business they had going he stayed until midnight to make sure we got the work done we wanted. Will be returning in 2 weeks to continue sleeve and my wife's first tattoo went well enough she is ready for another one. Thanks to Dan and j rock for making this a good experience for her. Definitely recommend this place for the true tattoo enthusiasts and the first timers.

Savanna Patacsil

Built to last is the single best tattooing experience i have ever had. Sevil is detailed, intricate, and knowledgeable about his trade. He cares about his customers and keeps a very clean shop. All around great experience. I will be getting all my tattoos done here for as long as this place exists!!!!

frank schaeffer

Best shop around. My family and I have been getting ink here for years. Always do great work.

Heather Britta

Tammy pierce my septum and did a amazing job. She walked through the procedure and helped calm my nerves highly recommend

Brandon Daugard

I was recommend to see Sevil James by friends who have had work done previously by him. He took the time to understand what I wanted, helped give me some great ideas, and brought those images to life. I can't praise his work and attention to detail enough. A true artist.

Christian Taughinbaugh

LOVE THIS PLACE! WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!!

chris potts

Sevil did an awesome job on my huge leg tattoo..loved it and always will

David Schwarzman

Amazing work!!! Had a great conversation with Tamy.. Definitely coming back!!!

Bradley Petrasek

I got a full back piece here. Love it. The tattooists at Built to Last are true artists not line tracers like you find at some shops. These guys are dedicated to their profession. I'd recommend this shop to anyone.

Chris Wood

I’ve been going to built to last since before it was built to last. Sevil has been my go to guy for 20 years and I have interest in going anywhere else. If you want a great tattoo and a great experience, go see Sevil and his guys at built to last!

Mike Staub

Justin Storm is the man to see!

Andrew

Fun experience. They have an awesome body piercer name Lisa. She knows everything about this stuff and really answers any questions you might have. She has been piercing in York area for awhile now and owned her own shop on the boardwalk in MD a few years ago. Her work is top notch and well known. I recommend you ask for her by name. She will even make a private appt. for you.

Brent Appel

A clean shop with talented artists. Great vibe, cool joint! DEFINITELY worth checking out! B2L for life!

Makayla Noll

I went and got my belly pierced. May did a wonderful job. I love it and it is beautiful. There was no pain either.

Carrie Ziegler

The owner Sevil James is the best! I just finished 39 sessions with him and I couldn’t say enough wonderful things! He has been able to take my ideas and make them so much better than I could’ve ever imagined. He’s upfront and honest with you and knows what will work best and what doesn’t you just have to trust his vision. Everyone there is absolutely wonderful and they really treat you like part of the family. I will never go anywhere or to anyone else.

Denise Wise

Jana redid two tattoos for me and I couldn't be happier!!

Jill G

Cant say enough great things about Built to Last! Super professional and quality work. Very happy with my tattoo. Check out Jake at the east shop, amazing work!

Cherie Thompson

Voted #1 every year in York for a reason. Would recommend this tattoo shop to everyone.!

Tommy Dell

Justin storms work is awesome

Jose Rivera

(Translated) I just watched. (Original) Sólo miraba.

Almost Jeffrey

Highly recommended. Take a look at the portfolios. The work speaks for itself. This top notch crew of ink slingers are the best around

Dawn Nusz

The first time I had an appointment and what should have taken 3 hours ended up being in the studio 7 hours, ran behind, didn’t finish and had to schedule another session to finish. Two weeks later turned into 5 weeks later and an hour before this appointment, text saying he wanted to push the time to later in the evening after having an appointment for 3 weeks, Never went back and don’t recommend them!!

James Frane

Brock is the best,very clean and the staff is very friendly.

Rebecca Harr

The first of their 2 shops. High quality work and a huge shop with a sitting area. Always comfortable getting work done here.

Josh Lazarus

Very professional, clean and great vibes good times.

Would give 0 stars if possible. Jordan is horrible. While tattooing me a few years ago he tattooed so deep there’s now scarring on my arm. I have lots of tattoos & I was hunched over in pain crying while he was tattooing. I lasted maybe 20 minutes left & never came back even though it was all paid for. The green in the tattoo crusted over & was infected. It’s a horrible tattoo I hate it, I will no longer wear tank tops. It’s so embarrassing. Now I’m trying to get it laser removed. A $400 horrible tattoo is now going to cost me around $1,000 with no guarantee of being gone. I can’t review other artists here but DO NOT go to Jordan unless you want scarring & horrible work.

Melissa Merica

Sevil is phenomenal. He did my first tattoo and has since worked on some large, multiple LONG session pieces for me. He definitely has amazing amount of knowledge regarding his work and made sure my pieces flowed with my body. He spent lots of time with me figuring out placement and changing drawings to get my tattoos perfect!!

Michael Westover

I got a cancer ribbon on my forearm for the pink foundation last year during the Halloween parade. Donald dug in so hard, it took four months to heal. You can still see the scarring on it. I will never go there again.

Jose Gerena

Good quality art

tumbgurllar

I went to get my Rook pierced and Kyle did such a great job. It was super quick and he was very good and making sure I was comfortable. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
