I was completely ecstatic with the outcome. I will definitely go back to him for my next piece super great experience. the tattoo healed up great I followed the proper after care regimen.

I stopped in recently to ask a few questions about setting up an appointment, and I've never experienced customer service that bad in my life. Whoever they have working the front was unbelievably rude and unprofessional. I honestly couldn't even tell if it was a man or woman, but whoever that person is, they're ruining what used to be a solid, reputable shop. I won't be returning ever.

They were very clean/organized with Covid stuff- had me wipe down my phone and hands when I came in and very clean inside the shop. Ed tattooed me and was great!

I have had a few different artists over the years, a couple I stayed with for numerous pieces. Lou is the one I'll be staying with now. He is an insanely talented artist as you can see from my photo (and the rest of his portfolio), with a really wonderfully easy-going personality to boot. His hand is not only skilled but very gentle. I went in slightly nervous after having already done a piece on my spine years ago which hurt like a mother F-er, and he proved I had nothing to worry about... 2.5 hours of sitting pretty with no issues at all. He went above and beyond in every way during my first visit. I could not be happier with how the tattoo came out or how the whole experience was overall! As for the shop itself, it's filled with amazing artwork and is impeccably clean. I made 2 more appointments for this summer already and you should too!
