We had an amazing experience here! Our artist, James, did such an incredible job on our tattoos, it came out so good! He made sure we were comfortable the entire time, checked in with us throughout the session, and was really flexible with the budget we wanted, which we appreciated so much. We were recommended to come here by two different friends, and now I completely get why. I’ll definitely be recommending this shop (and James!)

I had an amazing experience getting tattooed by G. From the moment I walked in, the shop was spotless and had a really comfortable vibe. G was professional, patient, and easy to talk to—he made sure I was relaxed and understood every step of the process. The tattoo came out better than I even imagined. His attention to detail and steady hand really show in the final result. If you’re looking for quality work, a clean environment, and an artist who cares about his craft, I highly recommend G. I’ll definitely be coming back for my next piece!

Mike was great. I was getting a very sentimental tattoo. He did a great job with bringing my concept to life. Had no problem with editing the design as many times as I asked. On the day of my appointment he was on time and the shop is clean. The tattoo didn’t even hurt. I would definitely recommend. 10/10…

The shop was very clean and welcoming. I went in as a walk in and James did a beautiful custom poppy flower for me. Exactly what I wanted... Very nice guys, great environment and highly recommend to anyone looking for new clean tattoos!
