Between my leg and my back, I have racked up somewhere around 40-50 sessions with Brian over the 2.5-3 years that we've been doing business together. In that time, I had to reschedule with him once, and he gave me a few weeks notice. Life happens, its no big deal.

I ended up hanging out with the homies at the shop and Brian found a few hours to put some work in on my leg anyways.

Everyone at the shop are good, honest people, who are not afraid to give honest feedback to ensure you get the highest quality and best looking tattoo.
