Chad brought my tattoo idea to life! He was extremely professional and I appreciated the high level of detail towards cleanliness and accuracy. Everything is new, packaged, sterile, and organized. Chad is by-the-book for regulations. I felt safe and comfortable throughout the whole process. Chad brings a courteous and his customer-service is at the fore-front. I look forward to reaching out to Chad next time I need a tattoo.

Chad at Friki Tiki is an incredible artist. I had an amazing experience and received one of the best tattoos I've ever had done. Chad's sole focus is on his client; no other artists or cross talk. His shop is clean and welcoming. Chad was great to chat with and made the hours in the chair fun and enjoyable. I will recommend Friki Tiki to anyone I know looking for their next piece!

Chad was awesome. Did a great job on short notice and then also did my son's first tattoo to match mine. He made my son's first tattoo so easy knowing my kid was nervous, he joked around until it was done. Highly recommended! Will go back when I have time and he has an opening.
