I’m completely satisfied with my tattoo. My artist was very nice and patient. He made it totally painless.

Fantastic place for a first tattoo, they make you feel really comfortable and the whole process is very straightforward. I got some simple black lines and the ink is still strong years later.

I had a great experience here getting second lobe piercings with a couple of friends. We were walk in clients and I felt that they were taking COVID seriously--enforcing capacity limits and everyone masked. My piercer was Jenny, and she was excellent!! Quick, clean, and professional. I highly recommend getting piercings with her.

Got my second ear lobe piercings here a few weeks ago. Everyone was wearing masks and there was hand sanitizer available , which made me feel better about getting pierced during a pandemic. Jenny, the piercer, was super nice and helpful. She made sure I felt comfortable and everything was even and she answered some questions I had about getting a piercing in the future. I will definitely come back here and recommend it to others as well!

Awesome experience! This shop is very clean and well organized, and all of the staff is great. They make everyone feel comfortable. I went for a septum piercing which was done by Maxwell. He was great at getting just what I wanted and the piercing went super smoothly. It's healing up beautifully; never even dealt with swelling or pain. Definitely recommend this place and as a bonus it's super easy to grab a drink right next door afterward!

My experience was great. I totally get that you have to wait an hour as a walk-in. It gets busy! It's not like the artists can drop the work they're currently doing to ask about your design idea.
Matt did mine and he was great. He made conversation and really took his time getting the color and shading to match my inspiration image. It looks great!
I asked if perhaps it'd cost a little less if I paid in cash (I wanted to be able to tip) and he came down $40 under the original total. Of course, I gave him the full amount in cash.
I later emailed him about adding a little more color and I'll be reaching out in a week or so when I'm all healed for my final touches!
Great experience and hanging out with Matt and Chris (who re-pierced my friend's septum) was very entertaining.
Also very cool you can run next door and grab a drink and see the shop on the tv. Love it!

Mike Sr and Mike Jr are AMAZING!!! The talent Mike Sr has is like no other. Mike Sr did a couple of my tats over 20yrs ago and when we walked in, I instantly recognized him!! Great Great work. DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!! This team is outstanding! I also liked the design of the studio itself. I liked how the artists and client are behind very tall enclosed area and people waiting are sitting outside of that area. Felt very safe and SUPER CLEAN!!!! Prices are good as well!! I tell all of my kids and friends to go here for CLEAN, QUALITY, CUSTOM INK!!! Well done crew! We will be back! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!

This place had an unfriendly vibe. If you’re going to ask me to put down a significant deposit before a consultation then at the very least I’d like for them to treat me like a customer and not an irritation. I also think that taking 15 minutes and seeing how a tattoo will look should be free. It seems coercive to ask for a deposit and then if you decide not to go with the tattoo then you’re out of the deposit. At that point, who’s going to back out?
Reading through the comments and seeing the wholly unprofessional responses from the owner make me glad I didn’t go with these people. Just so the owner knows: pushing back against unhappy people is really a terrible way of doing business. You should learn how to control your temper. There are many other studios in the city, and even if they charge a lot more, it’s an absolute false economy to pay less for a place that makes your uncomfortable. I’m very surprised to see that this place has 4.0 stars on Yelp, perhaps there are really nice, skilled and talented people who work here, but my experience today was bad.

The shop is very clean and a cool place to chill while getting inked. My artist George Papas is an extremely gifted artist. He's very reasonable and has over 30 years of experience and extremely talented. I highly recommend him if you are looking to get inked.
