I wanted to rework and add on to an old tattoo (1998 old) and had a vague idea of what I wanted to do going into the process. Cash really knocked it out of the park with his artistic vision and execution of the tattoo! Fantastic experience all around - customer service, welcoming atmosphere, great conversation - icing on the cake! I look forward to working with Cash again soon.

Great experience for my first tattoo, highly recommend Lions Den!…read more Walked in on a Sunday when they first opened at 12, was checked in and waited in the shared lobby area. Cool spot where the owner Mike also features his other business the Good Company Golf Club (will have to check out their sim another time). About 15 minutes later I was led back by my artist Zhu who was patient with the tweaks I wanted to make and communicated clearly the process. After 45 minutes my small piece was done and she also explained the after care instructions thoroughly. Cash only for their tattoo services but they have an atm in the waiting area for convenience.

Jedi did mine and it was my first tattoo. He did a great job and I love it and still in love with…read moreit. Healed really well with his instructions and he also gave me his card if I have any questions or concerns. Matthew did my sister's and it was also her first tattoo. She's very happy and loves hers as well and he did a fantastic job! When I was getting my tattoo, you can feel the community vibes if that makes sense. People would come in and everyone in the shop knew who they were and they were making plans for a community block party for the 4th. Seeing and hearing that made me so happy cause not only are they talented but they are down-to-earth and wants the best for everyone who visits them.

This review is for Nathan A. -- he pressured/bullied me to get something in a size I didn't want,…read morebecause it was more convenient for him-- pretty much did what HE wanted. Had no regard for what I wanted, even though it is my body. Do not go to an artist like this!! I will forever regret not walking away and permanently having his ugly tattoo on my arm. Plus he showed up super late, (we had a morning appointment, I showed up on time and waited outside the locked studio), with no apology of course, and had a dickhead a**hole attitude, making snide comments with his coworker the whole time. Biggest regret getting a tattoo from this rude loser. 0/10 do not recommend.

0/10. Do NOT come here…read more I found this artist through Instagram for anime tattoos. His work looked good, so I reached out. He was quick to respond and asked for a $200 deposit, which I sent via Apple Pay on March 5 to the shop owner. We booked for March 16. Leading up to the appointment, he would send random updates on the design, but nothing was finalized. I gave feedback and stayed patient, even knowing they had a Friday the 13th event going on. I didn't hit him up again until March 15 (the day before my appointment) because we STILL didn't have a finished design, which is wild. He tells me he'll have it done that day. Cool. Then a few hours later, I get a generic email saying my appointment is canceled. No explanation. Nothing. So I reach out to the number I sent my $200 to asking for a refund, and instead of handling it like professionals, they get confrontational and start acting like I'm the problem for asking for MY money back. They try to hide behind a "no refund" policy... even though THEY canceled on me. Make that make sense. I added my conversation with the artist, since the owner wants to claim harassment. Judge for yourself. No policy was ever clearly shown to me, and communication was trash the entire time. Instead of owning their mistake, they blamed me and got disrespectful. I only got my money back after I told them I'd file a chargeback with my bank and take them to small claims court. Go read their bad reviews--you'll see a pattern, especially with how the owner talks to customers. Super unprofessional. Save your time, save your money, and go somewhere else.
