I’ve known Nicole to be a superb artist before she transitioned to tattoo artistry, and am so lucky to have a piece of her work in my kitchen. I knew that when it came time for my first tattoo, Nicole would be the one to do it. I came to her shop for a memorial tattoo, but hadn’t settled completely on the design. She took the time to work on the design, we settled on just the perfect lettering style that would look right on my skin. She also suggested adding a sprig of flowers that just put it over the top. I love it so much! Nicole runs a very clean and comfortable shop. She was very attentive, always making sure I was comfortable and doing ok as it was my first ink experience. She has such a light touch, really it didn’t hurt at all. And her aftercare protocol is great, no issues during the healing process. I have referred others to her and will happily continue to do so!

Cannot say enough about Nicole and her talents, let alone the studio. Nicole is an amazing artist that has made me and my wife extremely happy with the tattoos we recently got. Her studio is clean and inviting, and Nicole's personality makes it even more so. Thank you Nicole for your talent, dedication and sense of humor! Very much looking forward to our next tattoos from you!

Nicole has been tattooing me for a few years now, prior to her opening her own shop and she is fantastic! Her shop is amazing, she is so detailed and attentive to what you’re looking for. Her shop is SO clean and inviting! She is always very good at making sure you are comfortable and happy with what she is putting on your body! I recommend her to everyone and I could not speak highly enough of her work!

Excellent experience for my first ever tattoo. As a nurse, I look for a safe environment, cleanliness, and quality work and I got all of that at Malicious Ink. As an artist, I can appreciate quality work and she went above and beyond to make my custom tattoo unique, delicate and full of detail. My experience was overwhelmingly positive and I'm looking forward to booking another tattoo soon!

Nicole goes above and beyond for her clients! The atmosphere is so relaxing and welcoming. She is so attentive to how her clients are doing/feeling while under the needle. I love that I can give her an idea of what I want and she exceeds my expectations. She is extremely talented and does absolutely stunning work. I highly recommend her if you’re wanting a nice clean tattoo. I love the after care product she has to offer as well!

Nicole made my first tatoo an amazing experience. She was thoughtful all through the design process & even more wonderful when meeting in person to get my tatoo. The design is very meaningful to me & she embraced that to make sure I was going to be happy with it. The process was so enjoyable, the atmosphere is relaxing & I felt very comfortable. The aftercare kit was great too. The artwork is amazing & I smile every time I look at it, exactly what I envisioned.

Nicole is AMAZING! She brought my vision to life so beautifully, one sketch and it was perfect. The privacy and the vibe of her studio is comforting and she makes you feel so welcome. Snacks, water, music, nice lounge, and great artwork in a really cool building. She makes the experience everything getting a tattoo should be and more. Great conversation the whole time and as someone with sensitive skin I appreciated the thought she puts into pre-tattoo and after care. 150% recommend for detailed, unique, or large pieces. Her artistry is so impressive, this is the only place I will be getting or recommending tattoos.

Nicole did and awesome job, I am glad I chose her and can't wait to get more ink done with malicious ink. She took my simple idea and turned it into a perfect piece to honor my dad. Thanks again!!!

I have to say from the first time meeting Nicole, I felt like I had known her my whole life! She is welcoming, friendly, funny and so unbelievably talented. I started to book with her back in 2019 but due to major life events, had to reschedule a couple of times and she was so patient with all of this which I greatly appreciated. She came up with a beautiful tattoo for my arm that has been on my bucket list for many years. Her knowledge of color and placement showed that she is exceptional in her talent. It was well worth the cross country trip to receive such beautiful artwork from a well known artist. Thank you Nicole!

Best Tattoo experience hands down! First of all the shop is clean comfortable & private. Nicole is by appointment only so your never interrupted by walk-ins. From the consultation to the execution Nicole was very thorough in making sure she had the exact vision of what I wanted. I had an inspiration photo but I honestly think her tattoo is even better & more beautiful! She has a long wait for a reason (she’s the best) 10000% worth the wait!💕

Nicole is an amazing artist. I had a black Mermaid done on my leg and the previous artist totally screwed up her face. I also wanted to add a large galaxy octopus 🐙 which would cover another tattoo which wasn't that old on my thigh. She's done an amazing job giving my Mermaid the needed face lift and adding in the octopus. The colors look amazing. I'm going to work with her again for a full mandala/lace sleeve coming soon. I have told her that her work is totally worth charging at least $600 an hour, though she wants to be affordable for many and to give many the chance to hire her for her talents. She'll take care of you the entire time, with a kind understanding heart and attention to detail out of this world. Her line work is perfection, and can make the daintiest lines go perfectly straight with no bleed out of the lines. Very impressive work. She's worth any needed wait and every penny. Cannot recommend her service enough. I'm so grateful for the chance to have been worked on by her, and even when I had life drama happen in the middle of our session, she was absolutely amazing with accommodating everything. Truly grateful for my experience with her. THANK YOU! 😊

Nicole was amazing. It was my first tattoo and she took her time to make sure it was just right. She paid close attention to the details and didn’t stop until I was completely satisfied. I would definitely go back to her again!

I absolutely loved my time with Nicole!! She was so thoughtful in the planning of my tattoo and making sure it was my vision coming to life on my body! She paid extra attention to my comfort level throughout my entire tattoo. Taking extra steps to make the process as pain free as possible! I’m so in love with my back piece, it’s literally exactly what I envisioned ❤️

From the moment I walked into Malicious Ink I felt comfortable and at ease. Nicole is very thorough with discussing your piece and placement until you both feel it's just right before she begins. The shop is inviting, and has lots of amenities like plenty of streaming options for TV should you want to watch. Coffee, snacks, and a warm, welcoming, clean atmosphere. The most awesome part is that Nicole has the lightest touch and she is so friendly and makes you feel truly comfortable while she is working. Out of all the tattoos i have this one was the most pleasant to get. I look forward to getting more beautiful pieces done and i am so happy our community has such an epic shop with a super talented artist. It also felt very covid safe. Would highly recommend!

Nicole is amazing! Her line work and attention to detail is fantastic. She always listens to me and understands my vision. She took a scribble drawing I made and turned it into a beautiful work of art on my arm! She will be doing all of my tattoos!
