We left a review. My daughter and I ventured off on a quest to get her her first tattoo. It was originally a birthday gift but it turned into a mother daughter tattoo visit. I cannot express how much we enjoyed our experience with Michelle from the moment we arrived we were greeted by an adorable, warm and super welcoming gentleman. Michelle has a natural ability for making people feel like they've known her for years, at least my daughter and I felt that way. It honestly felt like I spent the afternoon with an old friend, very very cool and laid back lady we talked through my entire appointment and before I knew it she was done! She's super talented and you can see she loves what she does, it shows in her work as well as her demeanor. The shop was beautiful, full of positive energy and most importantly, clean. I can't wait to go back and drag my husband along with me next time!

Sent Nate a broad idea of what I wanted for my tattoo. The concept he came up with was better than what I expected. His coloring work is stellar, especially when considering I have a darker complexion. It was also a cover-up and no one can see the tattoo that was covered up, even after I mention it was a coverup. It's not the cheapest place in town, but I believe you get what you pay for. I'd have paid more!

She made me feel very comfortable and explained everything that I needed to know about the healing process and upkeep. Everything was very clean! They have a good selection of jewelry.

I would definitely recommend getting a piercing here to all the girlies!

They were able to accommodate all 3 of us as walk ins and did a fabulous job. This was my gfs moms first tattoo, and Edgar did a really good job explaining everything and ensuring she understood the process and keeping her calm. For mine, he did a really good job listening to what I wanted and re-sized my stencil several times before placing it on my skin and getting started. For all of them, the lines are crisp and clean and it looks very high quality. I plan on returning for another tattoo, and I will absolutely go here again!

They are very professional and the best part my tattoo did not scab up at all once I removed the second skin tape it was totally healed and gorgeous! There is a small area on my tattoo that carries a small extra line which was not part of the tattoo...I was not totally upset with it because it does still look gorgeous. I do wish I had seen it sooner though cause I probably would have asked for it to be thicker to cover that up. However now I think of it as if it's part of the journey... this tattoo represents my journey in this life as a warrior and so I am looking at it as a slight off journey portion where I needed time to heal. in this way all is as out should be.
