I booked a consultation with Jayden at the end of January to add to my existing sleeve and left a $200 deposit. My first appointment was scheduled two weeks later, but she had me reschedule the day of, and no progress had been made on my design. At my next appointment, she told me the design wouldn’t work and wanted to start over entirely staying away from the piece I already had. We briefly agreed on a shoulder piece that didn’t match my sleeve, and she increased the price by another $200. The pricing already felt high for what was being offered, and the increase made it feel even more unreasonable. She then pushed the appointment out another three weeks to redraw it. Since that wasn’t what I originally wanted, we switched to doing a flash piece so I wouldn’t lose my deposit. That appointment was also rescheduled, then canceled an hour before due to a “double booking.” Communication was inconsistent, she asked for inspo pics but didn’t respond when I sent it. When I finally got in, the experience was so unprofessional. She was making fun about another client’s tattoo to me and her coworkers, which was uncomfortable. After finishing my tattoo, she didn’t clean or wrap it. She just handed me paperwork to sign saying I received aftercare, which I didn’t. I left with blood and ink still running down my leg. Overall the whole experience felt disorganized, unprofessional, and overpriced. I felt disrespected and taken advantage of. I won’t be going back.

Tattoo Artist: Jayden I was searching for a new tattoo artist after a previous experience that wasn’t great. Through referrals, I found Jayden, who was incredibly responsive and respectful from the start. We scheduled a consultation where she listened carefully to my concerns and was honest and reassuring throughout the process. During the tattoo session, she walked me through every step, checked in often, and offered plenty of breaks and snacks. The shop itself was clean, organized, and welcoming, with a very friendly staff. I will absolutely be returning to this shop and it is well worth the drive. I truly can’t express how positive this experience was.

I first discovered Phong while scrolling through Instagram searching for artists. Once I stumbled upon his page and viewed his work, it completely resonated with me, which led me to sending him a DM. All the communication to confirm the tattoo and appointment was handled through IG. Throughout all the messages, Phong was very transparent about the process—from asking for details about the tat and placement to discussing pricing, setting up the appointment, and confirming it with a deposit. It was seamless. On the day of the appointment, once I arrived, Phong shared some ideas with me, and you can modify them to your liking until you reach a drawing you’re satisfied with—which is exactly what I did. I never felt rushed and really appreciated that. During the session, I enjoyed chatting with him while withstanding the pain of being tatted, but regardless of the pain, it was still a great overall experience. Once the session was over, as with any artist, he went over aftercare tips, but what I also loved is that he has the care instructions posted on his IG page. In this age, digital and convenience are always appreciated. As for the tattoo, I’m very satisfied. He brought my vision to life—the piece I’d been wanting for a while. I always knew I wanted a flat and minimal hourglass but didn’t know what the final image should look like, which is why I went to Phong after seeing his work. He did a phenomenal job, and it was great working and chatting with him. His attention to detail and stippling work is excellent. If you’re thinking about getting a realistic tattoo and appreciate heavy attention to detail, including stippling, Phong is your guy. Book him as soon as you can if you decide to get one, as he’s very busy and his work speaks for itself. In addition, you’re paying for quality, so if the price is out of your range, he may not be the artist for you.

I came in to see if they had an artist that would cover an existing tattoo with another image I had in mind. Unfortunately for me the artist talked me out of that image and we went ahead with another image he was more comfortable executing. Half way through it was clear he didn’t have much experience. Live and learn, I won’t be back.

The team here is awesome! I go to Dan regularly and he always delivers amazing work. He’s super chill and you can tell he really cares about his craft. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for quality tattoos and a great experience.
