Want a high quality absolutely fine line detailed tattoo done by an great tattoo artist - then book an appointment with Sandy Pope. Shop is GREAT with a great vibe, Music played is awesome - great music to relax to while she does her magic. But what makes Sandy a great tattoo artist is that she listens to what you are looking for and provides you the artwork that will blow you away. Her line work is out of this world.

Sandy is the sweetest lady with a great sense of humor! I moved a good hour from my hometown and was looking for an artist in my new area and stubbled upon Sandy's site. Thank you Sandy for a wonderful experience!

I just got my first tattoo here! Sandy Pope is an incredible artist and person- She walked me through the whole process and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. She's also funny as hell, which was definitely a plus!

I haven't even been here yet, but because Sandy has done my first two tattoos, I'm following her here, and I know I will have a GREAT experience here! In December, I am coming in with my best friend and we are getting tattoos together by Sandy. Sandy is such a great person to talk to/consult with. She'll try and make you happy, but also tell you straight up if she recommends not doing something, which I really like.
Honestly, I can't wait to come in and see her again! Through email, she has told me great things about this shop and how she loves the people she works with. I can't wait to visit the shop!

Sandy is easy to work with, and she does great work. She is upfront with you on everything, and she doesn't play any games. She charges very fairly, and backs her work up without question. I've had 2 tattoo's done by her, and we've already started talking about the 3rd!

I love, love, love Sandy Pope! I recently visited Hydra Electric Tattoo for a custom piece,,Sandy really outdid herself! My tattoo turned out absolutely amazing. I went in blind with no real idea what Sandy had planned and she really exceeded my expectations. The shop is super cute and very clean. Sandy was on time and ready to go when I arrived. She is great conversation and a total pro,,I will always use Sandy for my future projects. I can't say enough good things about my experience.

On friends' recommendations, I got my first tattoo ever from Sandy, and I am absolutely in love with it to this day. Her insight and talent made the experience perfect, and she was great at guiding me through my first tattoo venture. Plus, nothing beats getting a tattoo in a shop decorated like a modern-day curiosity cabinet. Can't wait until I'm back in Illinois and can set up another appointment.

This is an awesome shop. Sandy is amazing. From start to finish she was professional, fun, accommodating, easy to work with, warm, welcoming and most importantly, an incredible artist. She will do all of my tattoos in the future and I highly recommend you go see her too, if you are looking to get some ink. Thank you Sandy!!!
