Great experience here! The artists are professional and well trained both in their individual creative styles, and in the "mechanics" of tattoo technique and aftercare.
Shop is always clean, staff is friendly, inviting anyone who comes in to check out work in progress, etc.
I have been back for multiple pieces with 3 different artists, and will continue to work with them in the future.

** Mark is the reason why you always go professional** He was everything I was looking for and more. I was looking for the perfect place to get my first tattoo & I wanted it done the next day. I had no idea what I was doing or what I really wanted but Mark was sent from heaven. I had seen his name on all the reviews so I didn't want anyone other than him. He was able to see me that same day and when I say he was patient with me, I mean it! We spent well over an hour figuring out the tattoo and how to make it original. He didn't just want me to love it but to make sure I looked great for the place where it was going to be. He could tell I was nervous and he made me feel very much at ease. The customer service is beyond excellent. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I'm already booking my appointment for my next tattoo :) The customer service alone made me want to go back, but when I saw his work I was sure I'd be getting more. My tattoo looks beautiful! Everything was done just right. This man is a true tattoo artist. Thank you so much Mark!!! See you soon :D

Mark and Bill run a nice shop. They both have good hands for tattoos. The shop itself has nice aesthetic of their works with some other cool pieces. Prices are reasonable and they work with your schedule. Highly recommend you check them out.

Went in with my cousin just to go check out the place. Right away they welcomed us & they were very helpful with putting together small for my first piece tattoo. I wouldn't highly recommend them! Great people & great price!

Mark did an amazing job on my lotus flower. He saw how nervous I was and kept telling me everything was going to be okay. He was very patient and kept talking to me during the tattoo. I highly recommend him. 10/10
