I could not have asked for a better experience. Dan not only squeezed me in on short notice, but he…read morewouldn't settle for anything but perfection. This meant the world to me as the tattoo I was asking for was extremely meaningful... and I too am a perfectionist! He made me feel comfortable, he made me laugh, he sang along to all the early 2000 pop songs that were playing, and he left me with a tattoo that was even better than I expected. I would highly recommend him to anyone! Also, Ally, who greets you at the door, was incredibly kind and welcoming. Overall, my entire experience was excellent.

Done real good and is really great quality. The wait is so short. Would definitely recommend to…read moreothers

Not a huge selection for jewelry however the experience for just the initial percing is enough for me to recommend them to those especially for a first time piercing or for a piercing in an area they've never had before!

In July I booked an appointment with Shad Bossmans, told him what I wanted, watched him take notes,…read moreand paid the deposit required. Last week I reached out to him, curious about design ideas and artwork. He then informed me that not only did he not remember who I was but also that he didn't remember what I wanted. That did not inspire confidence in me, so I cancelled my appointment and demanded a refund of my deposit, since he had apparently done nothing to earn it. When I showed up to collect, he accused me of "gaslighting" and tried to make me feel like shit. Shad may be a good artist, but he is a shit person and an even worse salesman. Dodged a bullet in my opinion.

I went yesterday for my 3rd tattoo by Jim he's done all 3 one of which was a full back piece that…read morewas also a coverup for a piece I got when I was a dumb 18 year old. A couple years later I got one on my Calf a rose and key with a purple ribbon for Epilepsy Awareness. This new one is on my forearm right above the wrist and it is my smallest but also my favorite and done pretty much freehand as there is no outline and turned in to a more difficult one than I think either expected and it turned out AWESOME!! I love the colors and the vintage look it has.

Laura is amazing!!! I sent her one reference picture and an explanation of what I wanted. In the…read moreweeks leading up to my appointment, I, personally, played around on the internet to see if I could come up with a design that I liked, as I'm a visual person and wanted to see it in front of me. However, I just couldn't tell a computer program what I was envisioning in my head. I walked into the studio and saw the design Laura had drawn up and had a light bulb moment! Her design was EXACTLY what I had wanted...I just didn't know it until I saw it! We discussed placement options and the stencil she had ready to go was the perfect size for where we decided it was going. Laura answered all of my questions and we had a nice balance of chit chat and silence during my session. Her space is GORGEOUS and welcoming, overlooking the river and a small park. My piece was done in about an hour and aftercare was explained verbally and I was given a handout. I told her I was sensitive to adhesive and she suggested an alternative form of wrapping that would protect both my skin and the tattoo. Now that it is summer, I intentionally wear tank tops all the time to show off the beautiful artwork that means so much to me! This is my third tattoo by just as many artists and I will 100% be going back to Laura for my future ink!
