They let us know it would be about an hour wait but that they could totally get us in so we decided to wait no problem. We went back an hour later and got right in. Rod did both our tattoos and made us both feel at ease and did them with precision, and did them quickly. Between the tattoos he took 10 ish minutes to sanitize and that was also really good to see. The whole staff was so friendly and easy to talk to. Will definitely be back!!

I got the most beautiful tattoo ever from Beeker last week! The entire experience from start to…read morefinish was awesome. We had a consultation in September (this is how popular she is - I waited a little over 2 months for my date and it was so worth it) where I told her what I was looking for and she talked about ideas that would work with it to make it even more lovely. I am an avid knitter and hot air balloon enthusiast so I was looking for something like a hot air balloon that looked like a ball of yarn. Beeker explained that a ball of yarn might not look enough like a hot air balloon and came up with an idea to do a balloon with a picture of a yarn ball on it in my favorite colors. As far as the actual experience went, the shop was nice and quiet and clean. Beeker and one of her coworkers were bantering back and forth and making me laugh so hard that I had to bite my tongue to keep from shaking my arm. There was another lovely couple getting a tattoo and they actually bought me a bubble tea! Isn't that the sweetest? Oh, and weird thing to compliment but their bathroom is decorated really cool. And since they are cash only, they are kind enough to provide an ATM onsite. Can't wait to go back sometime soon so that my brother and I can get matching tattoos!!!
