The atmosphere is also super inviting. From the decor to the actual chair room. It's always extremely clean and comfortable. Also, although Josh is the only artist that tattoos me, the other artists are awesome. Mike and Anthony are good guys and as a female, I can also tell you I have always felt respected and safe. If you are looking for artwork on your body, this is the place from beginning to end!

He ended up being all of our tattoo artist bc of his experience and expertise in fine lines. My two gfs got cursive writing and I got a willow tree. We love all of them! He made sure we got what we were looking for. Really took his time and when it came to the actual tattoo, no pain at all (fine line isn't really too painful apparently, either) and it was quick. Zelle is accepted as cash. Clean place, cool saloon doors, quiet but nice staff. Just an overall good experience with really reasonable prices. Wanna have a great experience, leave with a great tattoo to your exactly liking, and feel like "family"? Come here - you won't be disappointed.

I have now gotten four tattoos from two artists: Jess and Ash. Both gave me a custom and a flash design. Working with them was incredibly easy and they were so kind, and made the process painless.

She really understood bodies, and their movement. She suggested minor changes here and there but was never pushy.

Whether it's your first or fiftieth tattoo, I HIGHLY recommend Anna. As for the shop itself, it is clean, calm, full of plants, and good music. Each artist has their own space that they keep clean and organized and they all seem to enjoy working in the same space.

What was supposed to be meaningful and exciting turned into one of my biggest regrets. The wings came out crooked, asymmetrical, and poorly placee, a mistake I now have to live with. The moment I saw the finished product, I felt instant regret. To make matters worse, despite knowing how upset I was, she tried to post about the tattoo on her social media, making excuses as to why this did not come out good. I felt like my tramatic experience was used for her social media branding as she had such little regard for me as a client. Her bedside manner only added to the trauma. She minimized my concerns instead of taking accountability, forgetting that I would be the one wearing her mistake permanently. In the end, she did refund me, but that barely scratches the surface of the damage. I am now undergoing painful and expensive tattoo removal sessions that cost many times more than the original tattoo. She did offer up rework, but after spending hundreds consulting with reputable artists, they said there is a huge structual issue with this tattoo and corrections/cover ups would be high-risk. This has been a truly traumatic experience, and I share it so others can avoid going through the same.

I had high expectations for Kvitka, but even after those were deflated, I remained optimistic that…read moreperhaps my tattoo retouch would go more smoothly. I also gave Kvitka the benefit of the doubt that it was an off day, but unfortunately my experience was not reflective of the reviews or the experiences shared. I came in for 3 tiny tattoos. The artist told me that the price would be $500 total USD, not including the tip. I had $100 I was preparing for the tip, but my total ended up being much higher than originally agreed upon so my tip had to be decreased to $40. My surprise came at the invoice, but specifically the charge for a $15 service fee. Now, Kvitka is a Russian-speaking company, and they operate with no guests allowed, and incredibly high prices for artists with limited experience, and they should have reached out warning about the no heat and asking to reschedule or not. I had the most uncomfortable time simply from being cold in there. I was close to being there for 4 hours. Now, I had sent in multiple photos of all 3 fine line tiny tattoos that the artist said she'd have stencils ready to go and I discussed in specific detail expeditions. Kvitka's location is horribly hidden with little instruction on this, but upon my final arrival they in a giggly tone, wearing sweaters and coats, share that their heater is broken. This is December. I'm freezing in a tank top. I even looked past this as I was genuinely excited for my tattoos. Even when my artist was late to the appointment by about 15 minutes, I didn't bat an eye. But then the fonts she had picked did not at all match what I sent. So I had to wait for her to do the sketch for the stencil on top of that. But alas, I was so excited that I did not mind the extra 45 minutes spent. Except for the tattoos I got, the should have been out of their in 45 minutes and not the total of over 3.5 hours to get 3 tiny tattoos done. Don't forget that they also do a mini photoshoot (no statement stating that they will post you) but they do not even care enough to show you the pictures you had to pose for I'm the freezing room so they could promote their business. But the real reason for this review is: my artist told me that I had to come back in January because (she had only been an artist for less than2 years) and was worried about making the line too thick so I would have to come back in 2 months. There would be a $50 touch up fee. Silly me, I also overlooked this not recognizing that the artist could not confidently do fine line artistry, and I was expected to pay more because of this. I was even happy to. But to my shock, when I reached out asking to book a spot for January, as I was told, the artist berated me and accused me of not properly using the "ointment" she gave me and refusing to even remember who I was. She made me send in all of my tattoos in pictures over instagram DM to her, and then blamed it on my dry skin. She would not rebook with me, her tone changing and not at all what she acted like prior to my payment of $600 for tattoos that she told me were her own personal reason for not being filled in due to her lack of experience, and then refused to even touch me up for $50/tattoo. The studio is small, freezing (although I hope it was only that day), artists gossiping in Russian, and they are charging fees for artists that have much more talent, professionalism, and integrity in their work and business practices.
