What an incredible place for body art! I walked in as a walk-in customer and was promptly greeted by the staff. I had no idea what I wanted, but Sam was super helpful in guiding me through my options. She offered suggestions based on my interests and even sketched a few designs before we settled on one. The atmosphere was laid-back yet professional, making it easy to relax during the whole process. One thing that stood out was how attentive they were about cleanliness; it was refreshing to see that they follow strict health guidelines. The tattoo itself is stunning, and I love showing it off! The only thing I would say is that they should consider accepting cards in addition to cash, as it can be a hassle if you forget to bring cash. But honestly, I would definitely recommend this tattoo shop to anyone looking for quality and artistry!

I recently visited this tattoo shop, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! Walking in, I was immediately impressed by the cleanliness of the space. Every surface was spotless, and the staff took health protocols seriously, which made me feel safe. I had an appointment with Jess, who was incredibly friendly and patient as I explained my design ideas. She took the time to discuss every detail, ensuring that I was comfortable and happy with the final concept before starting the inking process. The actual tattooing was surprisingly quick and painless, thanks to Jess’s skillful technique. The artwork turned out beautifully! I also appreciated the fact that they only accept cash; it keeps things simple. My only minor feedback is that the shop can get quite busy, especially on weekends, so booking in advance is a must if you want to avoid long wait times. Overall, a great experience, and I can’t wait to return for my next piece!

I had a great time at this tattoo shop! I went in to get my first tattoo, and the team was so supportive and understanding of my nerves. My artist, Max, was exceptionally professional. He walked me through the process and made sure I felt comfortable throughout. The place had a great atmosphere and was super clean, which is always a plus. My tattoo came out beautifully, and I can't stop looking at it! My only slight complaint would be that the consultations could be a bit quicker. I had to wait a little longer than I expected, but I guess that's a sign of how popular they are! Regardless, I would definitely return for my next tattoo.

I recently got a tattoo here, and the experience was mostly fantastic! The shop itself was immaculate, and they followed all safety protocols, which made me feel at ease. I worked with Lisa, who was both talented and very patient with me as I kept changing my mind about the design. She helped me refine my ideas into something that I absolutely adore now. The only downside was that it was quite noisy during my session, which made it hard to hear her sometimes. Maybe some soft music could help set a more relaxing mood. Still, I’m thrilled with how my tattoo turned out and plan to come back for more!

From the moment I stepped into the shop, I was in awe! The vibe was welcoming, and the décor was stylish yet cozy. I had an appointment with Alex for a custom design, and let me tell you, this guy is talented! He spent time discussing the design with me and ensuring every detail was just right. I was drawn to the intricate line work he does, and he did not disappoint. The actual tattooing process was definitely a bit nerve-wracking, but Alex made it easier with his calming presence and engaging conversation. I also really appreciated the health and safety measures they have in place, which made me feel safe while getting inked. The only constructive feedback I have would be regarding their hours. I found it a bit challenging to fit my schedule around their closing time, especially on weekdays. Still, the experience was so worth it! I’m looking forward to my next tattoo!
