@ksmithtattoo did an AMAZING job on both mine & my boyfriends recent tattoos! She is a fantastic artist and a very kind, patient person! I highly recommend her to anyone in the market for a tattoo artist.

The owners Joshua and Lindsay are wonderful. They care deeply for both their art, and the people who are getting tattooed. On my last visit I had a 6 hour appointment and at one point Lindsay offered to order food for me. That’s going above and beyond.

Josh is all around fabulous! His talent in tattoo design, placement, and delivery is exceptional and I honestly won’t let anyone else come near me with ink! I’m a tattoo newbie - 6 in the past 3 years - all by Josh. Never disappointed and his pricing is almost too reasonable! I highly recommend and will be visiting him again soon!

Josh did a watercolor tattoo for me. He did an absolute amazing job. It took me forever to find someone I wanted to do this tattoo and he did an AMAZING JOB. can't wait to get in books at his new place. Josh was professional and down to earth to sit and talk to whole sessions. 10 out of 10 I would recommend him.

Joshua is quick, easy to work with, and CARES. He gave great pricing, made sitting for hours comfortable as it could be, and made sure I was taking care of myself along the way. Stretching, skin breaks, and keeping me updated the whole time. He keeps all his equipment sparkling clean and has a huge array of colors. So so so worth checking out you absolutely will not regret it. Thanks again for everything josh. You guys are amazing !

Today did I not only do something I’ve been dying to do, I meet the most amazing women. She is not only talented, but she has the greatest story and has a beautiful heart. If anyone has thought about microblading, ombré/power, top liner or freckles, she’s your go too! The process today was amazing, not at all painful. She took the time to see just what i wanted and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Definitely message Lindsay!
