I'm absolutely in LOVE with my tattoo. It's not JUST BEAUTIFUL but it's everything I wanted. It is big but took us just under two hours. She is as fast as she is talented. I have no bad things to say whatsoever except that I wish I could have done it sooner! I will totally be back for more work though. I stayed for a second tattoo as Aaron Borden was able to fit me in and hook me up with a super special tattoo as well. I really liked him as well. The staff is super friendly, professional. And it's clean but cozy and comfortable in here. Definitely not that sterile smell but it feels like a place to hang out. They make sure you're as comfortable as possible while you're getting tattooed and I feel like they are definitely amazing in the quality of tattoo for what you pay here. Great work. Great place. All the happy feels from me. Don't ponder. Just book a session today!!
