On a monumental birthday, my BFF gave me a gift certificate to come get a tattoo here. She had…read moregotten the idea when during quarantine we would meet at a local wooded park and walk the trails for hours to stay sane. Prior to the pandemic I had decided I wanted to get boxing gloves on my shoulder. Having not gotten a tattoo in two decades and having sworn I would never again, I just like that changed my mind. She had come to this location twice to get a couple tattoos of her own over the past couple years and thought it would make a great birthday gift to come together for an appointment. It turned out to be on of the best gifts. The shop is in a strip mall. The waiting area leave little to be desired. My BFF made our appointments on a Saturday at 4pm. She said the artist though very nice and does good work has a tendency to run late. When she said late I never really imagined what was in store for us. The shop closes at 6 on Saturday's and we were still in the waiting room "waiting" for our appointment to begin. About 2ish hours in she said we could come back. I was a ball of nerves. The last time I got a tattoo I fainted, twice. The first time I got a tattoo I also fainted, twice. Both times I had to be brought back with smelling salts. I don't recommend. She heard that and took great care to get some gummy bears in me, have cold water available, a fan pointed at me and had me lay down as opposed to seated as with my other experiences. It worked. Still hurt like heck but I did not faint. In the end after being there for basically a whole day, I was pleased with the artist Aime, the results of the tattoo and the price was fair. I wasn't really happy with how long it took to get us back there and to complete the process, but that is about the only bad thing I can say. Since the first time I have been back to see Aime 2x's, for two more tattoos after swearing them off for 20 years. Funny thing is I'm a little obsessed now... But the waiting is not a fluke. Clear your calendar and pack a lunch. You WILL be here all day. Otherwise very much recommend

I had emailed this tattoo shop multiple times regarding appointments and pricing for a tattoo. I…read morenever even received an email confirming they got mine or any correspondence from them. I also went down in person during the weekdays after I got done with work to get answers to my questions if I was able to, but there was nobody there. I went there almost every day for two weeks looking to see if I can talk to someone. Very poor customer service.

The prices are reasonable too. This would be a great stop for a first tattoo. They do accept walk-ins, but I highly suggest and appointment, and possible consultation.

This place obviously prides itself on great service, artistry, and cleanliness. I really look forward to coming back for another appointment!
