I've been going here for the past 15 years to get my tattoos - not every year! Two of my daughters…read morehave also gone here. I've always made appointments ahead of time in person. I would talk to the artist and let them know what I was interested in having done and made an appointment for sometime in the future when they had an opening. Today I got lucky and got to have it done right away! Everything is always clean and the artists are nice and always make sure they're on the same page with you. All protocols are followed. I have never felt like they rushed through getting ready and I really appreciate it! I'm adding some photos to this review. These are some of the tattoos my daughters and I have and they were all done here! These people are artists! I've taken in some very basic ideas of what I want and they come up with some really cool ideas. I've had some people say they would feel uncomfortable since they're older - they feel like they wouldn't fit in. I'm 65 years Ike and I have never felt uncomfortable, or like I didn't belong. They're professionals doing their craft! I'll definitely be back when I'm ready for another one!

Julie was so chill and thorough and answered any questions I had. I really appreciated the amount of detail and info she gave me as she was doing her thing. I always like to know what exactly someone is doing step-by-step and that's exactly what Julie did for me without having to ask. After giving our IDs, Julie went in the back to prep the room while we signed the paperwork. I went first and then my friend went shortly after. While we paid I noticed there were some cleaning sprays which I needed to get more of. They highly recommended this bottle I got saying it'll last a long time but to only spray up to 3x instead of what the bottle says 3-6x per day because it will dry it out. I loved that they didn't try to push me to buy it I just knew I needed it! When I got home I scanned it on the Yuka app (scan beauty products and food and they'll tell you how clean it's made or if it has any bad ingredients) and it scored 100/100 which I've only seen on a few items so I'm so so so happy I decided to get it! I have two more piercings I wanna get done and I will definitely come back for Julie!

Awesome news! Enigma has a cosmetic tattoo artist now!!! Grace is super nice, super informative & (…read morebest of all in cosmetic tattoos) GENTLE! I got lip blushing done. When thinking of getting something like your lips/ eyes/ anything facial & usually sensitive done, don't think about your body tattoos & how that felt. Grace has & utilizes a numbing cream ( works VERY well). I literally fell asleep while procedure was being done. It's a 2 session job, but now, fully done & totally healed, I'm super very happy with it!! They don't line too much outside of the lips because that would probably look super unnatural, but right to the edge of my lip line has given my lips the little bit of boost in volume and the colors that I really like especially when wearing no makeup at all. You get an absolute chance with Grace to help design the color that she's going to be applying ( She recommended that I bring along my favorite lipstick). This is not nearly as "ouchy" or intense as you might imagine. As I previously mentioned, the numbing cream works super well! Just relax and it's done before you know it! The color seems very very bright at first, but it does mute out quite a bit as the healing process sets in. I, as a thin-lipped individual () not only enjoyed the color, but the subtle ( albeit temporary) volume boost it gives. I realize they were mainly swollen a bit from the "trauma" of the "blushing", but ( in my experience) with disappointingly short lived lip filler, this lasted almost as long & healed up quickly & easily. There will be a bit of chapping and peeling between your first and second appointment, but that's just the lips healing out. Just use some lip balm diligently day and night ( Grace will give you the "accessories") and you'll be ready to show it off in no time! I would recommend Grace to do ANY of the cosmetic tattooing she can do because I can see what a great & careful professional she is. Enigma 's a great spot for tattoos in general, now they've added the aesthetic angle the public has increasingly asked for. Thankfully they put on a trained & experienced aesthetics professional. Grace is amazing!
