My artist Korey was very pleasant and happily singing all the while maintaining aeseptic technique when working on me. Excellent artists and prices are very reasonable!

My friend and I had a bizarre experience here…read more We called ahead to confirm they did inner lip tattoos--they said yes and booked us for a week later. We arrived and filled out our forms. We were the only people in the waiting area and there were two employees sitting behind the counter. Eventually, a man (presumably our artist) came out, sat behind the counter, started eating pizza, and didn't acknowledge us. Without looking up, he said, "I'll take your money, but you're gonna be disappointed." At first we were confused and weren't even sure if he was talking to us. When we said we still wanted to try, he basically said we'd be stupid to get them--while repeating that he'd still happily take our money. He never introduced himself, never made eye contact, and seemed irritated by our presence . I have 21 tattoos and I really appreciate when an artist gives me advice and honestly, I appreciate that he was trying to warn us about wasting our money, but his hostility and lack of respect was a deal breaker. We ended up walking out because I didn't feel comfortable letting him tattoo us. All of this could have been avoided if they had simply told us they didn't want to do inner lip tattoos instead of letting us book. I wouldn't recommend going here unless your want to be ridiculed.

Me an my wife got a cpls tattoo on a Sunday nite on very short notice . We were both more than happy with the work but it was the customer service that we got that went above and beyond.

My wings were symmetrical and his certainly are not. One wing is pointed on the top, the other is not. No big deal, you'd think, however when I nicely called him to ask if he could fix it, he refused to stand behind his work and I'm Not surprised...I had an appointment scheduled and he canceled without notifying me. No courage I guess, as he sent a message through someone else. I've NEVER met an arstist that doesn't stand by his work. This is rather alarming. In my opinion, go to an experienced artist that stands by his artwork. That simple Wish I could post a picture for thoughts on his art.

His attention to cleanliness and proper precautions exceeds the board of health standards by a wide margin and he only uses first class materials and equipment which shows in his art.

The brand new shop is clean, well decorated, and classy, tucked into the same plaza as the Gooding Grille. Audrey, the shop owner and one of the two tattoo artists who operate there, is a compassionate veteran who understands how to lead someone through the steps of getting ink for the first time without making them feel stupid. Audrey allowed my sister to bring me, her husband, and two additional friends to keep her company while she got her upper arm done and she dealt with our chatter and frequent questions with grace and humor. Audrey's portfolio and volume of work speaks for itself- check out her Instagram @audreymello1 if you'd like to see her most recent work.
