Recently back for more. And yes it was worth the effort and planning to get an appointment. If you…read moreare reading this review I will assume you are a serious tattoo aficionado who respects/appreciates a true artist. Everyone has their personal opinion about tattoos. And if you are a person reading reviews of tattoo artists hoping to find a person to trust with putting art on your body that is permanent I can't recommend enough the value of coming to this studio to see Marlo. She is a true artist. Tattooing to me should represent a spiritual experience with the artist. Trust in them to put on your body a piece of art that fits you. Something that matches your unique life and personality. Well, Marlo does all that. No stencils. Just free drawing an extension of my heart onto my body to remind me of my strength and resilience. She told me more meanings and I was absolutely touched at the insight she had into me as a woman. She created a visual representation that is so beautiful. Does getting a tattoo hurt? Yes. Of course it does. But Marlo is an amazingly caring professional and will stop as needed to check in on you and take breaks if necessary. But don't go into it thinking it isn't going to hurt. That is just silly. Some parts hurt less than others of course and everyone has their pain tolerance. But be realistic peeps, come on now! Be safe and enjoy life! SYOY!

I am beyond HAPPY and in LOVE with my tattoo!!…read more Marlo is welcoming, professional, and clearly extremely passionate about her art work. She genuinely took the time to make you feel comfortable and safe. She understood exactly what I wanted and what I wanted it to represent, and executed the design flawlessly! Her line work and shading are top-tier, and hygiene standards were excellent! Earthbound Tattoo brings on good and positive vibes, and is great with communication! If you're looking for a skilled, reliable tattoo artist, she is the one for you! Marlo - I am so honored to have the privilege to get this beautiful art piece from you! You and Le are genuinely great people! Keep doing what you both are excellent at! Aloha & Mahalo! 'til next time

First of all I totally agree with the review left by Julia R. on 4-4-25 because that was our…read moreexperience pretty much. Here's my review You Get What You Pay For... But Sometimes You Don't I don't usually post reviews, but after my recent tattoo experience, I wanted to share a few lessons I learned. Looking back, there were several warning signs I should have paid more attention to: unclear pricing, questions about deposits, limited availability for follow-up consultations, and concerns about the healing process and final appearance of the tattoo. My biggest takeaway is simple: trust your instincts. If something doesn't feel right, ask questions, slow the process down, or walk away. A lost deposit is far less costly than being unhappy with a permanent tattoo. There are many talented artists in our community. Take the time to research their work, meet with them, discuss your expectations, and make sure you're comfortable before committing. Don't settle for the first available appointment or the easiest option. Find an artist whose work, communication, and professionalism give you complete confidence. Personally, I have chosen to have my tattoo reworked by another artist who came highly recommended. The difference in consultation, communication, and overall experience has confirmed that finding the right artist is worth the extra time and effort. A tattoo is forever. Choose the artist you would trust without hesitation, and don't move forward until you're certain you've found the right fit.

My sister and I got matching tattoos on our hands and I can understand if it was one or the other…read morethat got infected, but it was both of us and him assuming I do not have other hand tattoos was beyond me and his response was very unprofessional. Here was his response Hello this is Matt. First of all in my 27 years of experience I only see this when someone doesn't take care of it and or chemicals you use on a daily especially the hands. I've done plenty of tattoos and I definitely know what I'm doing and never have an issue. I have a good track record you can guarantee that. As far as the fingers we never guarantee those areas and I told you both that. Just because of healing issues just like this. Most shops won't even do them but I do and just let the client be aware. There will be no refund. When they heal up I can definitely redo them if you like of course no charge. Unless you are not washing your hands or using hand sanitizer or shampooing your hair n the shower those all can affect a tattoo healing. Yes u have a lot of tattoos that's great but how many on your fingers n hands? None.
