Best barbershop renegade barber shop
David Walker Senior Staff Writer @JDavidWalker This category is best barbershop and not best hair salon for one simple reason: Women do not change hair stylists. It’s like a form of modern marriage, the relationship between a woman and their go-to person for their hair. Men, on the other hand, have to change their barber because their hair simply grows too fast. And for some men, finding someone skilled with the clippers is not a desire, but a necessity. Renegade’s Barber Shop is not a bad candidate for
men to get a shave. With a college-town vibe and barbers who know what’s up, things couldn’t get more relaxed. The shop itself is large and airy, with flat-screens exuding the dulcet tones of SportsCenter. A beaten up but still comfortable couch stretches invitingly at the shop’s entrance and a healthy line between you and the barber’s chair usually gives you enough time to consider how aggressive you want to get with your new hairstyle. They have three locations, two off of Tennessee and Pensacola for the college crowd, and one off Apalachee for those living well off campus.

Best Tattoo a i r o h p u E tattoos
Setareh tareh Bai Baig Arts & Culture Editor @heysetareh_ When making the decision to get a tattoo, finding the right tattoo parlor is equally important to deciding what to get inked. Not only does one have to take into account the safety and cleanliness of the tattoo shop, but also find a place that matches his or her own tattoo style. The reputation of a tattoo shop is imperative to ensure that the artwork permanently adorning one’s skin is worthwhile. This year, Euphoria Tattoos solidified their reputation, winning Best Tattoo Shop for the second year in a row.
Around for seventeen years and nestled in their quaint corner on Gaines St., what sets Euphoria apart is not only the immense talent and skill of their tattoo artists, but the friendly attitude that radiates from the workers at the tiny shop in Tallahassee’s art district. Unlike most other tattoo shops, the artists’ ultimate goal is to give their customers the ultimate tattoo experience: providing a clean, safe and sanitary environment, working with their customers to make sure their new ink is absolutely what they want and above all, providing a friendly and fun attitude. A relaxed and welcom-

possible. Providing a clean, professional and relaxed environment for its patrons, Euphoria is a fairly priced and overall delightful tattoo experience.
