My sister and I got tattoos from Jay! He worked us into his busy schedule and did a great job making our vision for the tattoos come to life. Shop was awesome all around, clean, efficient, great vibe. Would go to any of the artists and recommend to friends

Everyone in the shop (which is clean, bright, and spacious!) is super friendly and personable. Jay is an incredible artist and pays attention to every detail, and he has the capability to design exactly what I wanted. I can't wait to make another appointment!

I worked with Rachel, who was finishing/covering up some previous work I had done. I had nothing but a positive experience! Rachel is a talented artist, kind, and professional, and the overall vibe of the shop is friendly, clean, and fun. Definitely check out the other artists, as they are all rad, but especially Rachel! I absolutely mean all five of those stars. Excellent shop.

Of all the places I've visited for tattoos, this shop has been the most professional, clean and friendly.
Jay is a fantastic artist. Everyone seems cheerful, the energy is fantastic, and I can't recommend them enough.

Jay does an extremely amazing job! He is currently working on my half sleeve and has definitely far exceeded my expectations. His shop is very clean and neat as well. I always enjoy going there for my appointments. I highly recommend! :)

Amazing shop! Jay and his entire crew do a spectacular job. All of the artists were extremely professional and the vibe of the shop was perfect for getting tattooed all day, very relaxing and fun. I really appreciate how open the space is, also everything was immaculate and organized. The custom tattoo work coming from this shop is mindblowing, and I can't wait to finish my current project so I can start more!

Amazing tattoo shop. Jay, the owner, is currently working on my full sleeve. He takes great pride in running a professional, immaculate shop. The receptionist is behind a plastic screen and does a temp check and covid checklist upon entering. All staff must also be checked daily. Everyone wears their masks religiously, and NO ONE is allowed in the shop unless they’re getting a tattoo- no friends, family, etc. I’m high risk for covid, and I felt completely safe having 4+ hours of tattooing done. Jay was meticulous about the placement of my tattoo, and even removed it and redid the stencil until it was perfect. He is a talented artist, and has a very gentle hand; he doesn’t drill into your skin unnecessarily. I had an allergic reaction to the coconut products used and advised by Jay. I called and spoke to the receptionist, and within an hour Jay called me back, on his day off, and helped me figure out the best plan of action. He even offered to get different ointment to use at our next session. He’s really sweet, extremely professional, and puts the integrity of his shop and care of his clients above all else. I can’t wait to go back for my next session! Will update with a photo when the piece is finished.

Love this shop. Jay did an excellent job on my tattoo. The place is clean and everyone there was nice. Each artist is very talented and are all very different. Whatever you want you can find an artist at this shop to do it!
