She made me feel so comfortable and talked me through the whole process. I cannot recommend her enough! I came to her for the first time after having a botched septum piercing (NOT done by her) and she pierced it perfectly.

His demeanor, humor, gentle touch and consideration made me comfortable and happy for my first 5-hour seession. I am returning this week to finish it. This experience has turned a several year, many surgery trauma into a happy memory and item of pride. I am a lady "of a certain age" and the whole shop felt friendly and inviting. Thank you all so much, I am already planning my next scar adornment!!

I've tried emailing owner several times since I noticed a response to my previous review in 2016. I…read moredo not live in GA and would have to fly back to have this fixed if that's even possible. I've had 2 tattoo shops where I live tell me they can't fix it without it continuing to blur, that I will need this laser removed, they have no idea what to even cover it with, and it's not worth fixing since it will still be uneven. Can someone get back to me via message to come to some resolution here? This is awful in comparison to ALL of my other tattoos.

Went in to get an estimate on a tattoo probably just a little bigger than the size of a quarter,…read moreand she tried to tell me it was $175! Are you serious!? Having 22 tattoos all professionally done and all with lots of color, I never had to pay that amount unless it was on the much larger size! Absolutely INSANE here. Thankfully there's SEVERAL other shops nearby that'll do it for $100-125.

Here i was early this year and well although the shop had hype, "It didn't deliver" . The price for…read morewhat I wanted was 600 and if we didn't finish I come back and pay 200 or 300!? It was a joke! I mean if it was for something with alot of detail or a massive piece I would understand. Yes understand completely! I may not look but I understand Spanish in short. So things I didn't like. .. Not getting greeted by the artist as they past me. Or guys being passive aggressive or just irritated that I was there or that they had to work this day. and in Spanish one said " I'm so tired I hope my appointment s cancel and that he felt lazy" .. The front desk guy was nice and no complaints but his vibe was like Grey to say the least and I did not feel like I was welcome. .. Now why I am taking it this far.. It's not fair from what the artist and the customer agree on and then Changing it mid session. Yes you herd me right. The stencil was on me already. That's what we agreed on and paid for! So Less work for a large price tag. loads of agreement details missing, flat, didn't care of the sensitive spot, and Hurried to finish at the end. The gun felt, looked, sounded cheap. Elías the owner was polite, kind, knowledgeable, friendly, cheerful, and I wish I had paid what I paid to see him. 600 a session and 400 for a 3 inch by 3 inch bc that's what other ppl say they pay for what I've seen. It's not worth coming back. These guys want to 1 up on anyone that comes in for a quick buck. This is my honest review no shade just what I've experienced.

Quality of work is fantastic, it's exactly what I visioned and wanted. went above and beyond to ensure the stencil was placed correctly and where I wanted it. Couldn't be more happy with the ink and will visit again before I'm done working in the area. Another plus is the shop stays open late, doesn't close at 7-8 pm like most shops,
