While my initial ideas had ideas that did not flow together very well, she was able to create something that incorporated everything I asked for.

The young lady in the front was also kind and patient with me as she explained the tattoo "culture" for lack of better words. I highly recommend this place, I definitely see myself going back in the near future for my next tattoo.

*This is a review I started back in 2019 and just found in my drafts*…read more I'd give Fluid Ink 10 stars if I could! I have about 8 tattoos, one of which I've hated for 18 years and really wanted to cover. After researching a shop for months, I really liked their work but I wasn't in the country. I reached out via email with my cover up idea and Jenny was super responsive and accommodating of my situation. We set an appointment with Ivan initially but on the appointment day, the artist changed to Antoine, who I already knew was the owner. The shop was extremely clean and I felt comfortable instantly. After waiting for about 10 mins, Antoine showed me the sketch idea and I absolutely loved it! He took the time to incorporate my minor changes and was very patient. Altogether, the piece took about 6 hours. **6 years later: this is my FAVORITE piece

I have been looking for the PERFECT opportunity, artist, price, and design for a long time. Probably since I got my last tiny thin line tat when I turned 26. The studio is clean and new! Perfect vibes with calming music with artwork hung up all around. Lovely plants and a clean bathroom! I parked up the street on P street. Do NOT park in the bank parking lot across the street. A short walk from P street will take you to a hidden in plain sight entrance to 3 businesses: of which Tattoo Culture is one of them. A tall skinny staircase and BOOM, you're in! The location is ideal and within minutes from well known restaurants and spots to pop in. Isa is so professional and friendly. Make sure you bring your ID for all your introductory paperwork. This is completed easily on a tablet. From there- she already had my design and size ready to go! She cleaned the area right near my ankle throughly with alcohol and prepped me. She was so kind and prepared, she even has little disposable razors if you are looking to get tatted and need a little clean up in the area. She proceeded to get me comfy- even offered me a pillow! She showed me how the tat would look by a quick stencil and look in the mirror. Once I decided the location (At first I thought I wanted it on the back of my wrist but once she put on the stencil I realized that most of the time attach it would be backwards if my arms down and she helped me come to the conclusion that it would be best placed on my ankle where it was always upright). She did not rush me or have the typical tattoo shop demeanor of "get in and get out". She even offered me snacks like a caprisun and chips :) She showed me the brand new needle and unpackaged it in front of my eyes. She clearly values cleanliness and safety and I absolutely respect and appreciate these efforts! Once I laid down, the tattoo itself took maybe 15/20 minutes. She is gentle and deliberate! Midway we changed the color up and it came out beautiful and dainty. Just like I wanted! The extra level of courtesy, hospitality, and customer service was paramount. She even offered to turn on Netflix to put me at ease. I would recommend this shop to anyone, and I already have! Great for a quick tiny tat or a detailed art piece. I had the best experience here and I have no doubt this business will be very successful. Thank you so much Isa!!! Please follow them and check out their work @isatatts on IG!
