  • "I've been getting tattooed here since around 2001 specially by Charlie and haven't complained about anything and I don't think I will. Come to get some ink done pain passes fast but tattoos last forever worth it. I have about 40 tattoos i don't have all the art on my phone."

  • "I got a tattoo for Mother's Day. I had an idea fo the elements I wanted but didn't have a solid design yet. Russ worked quickly, patiently and with much skill to help me get my tattoo just right. I didn't feel pressured. He was patient and collaborative. We landed on a tattoo design that I loved. Once in the room he created a relaxing atmosphere with music and good conversation. He's got great energy and I felt at ease with him. The tattoo came out beautifully. I can't stop looking at it. Thanks Russ!!!"

  • "I walked in to a cozy modern shop and met the sweetest man who was so eager to help. He was genuinely interested in my sketches and very encouraging. And then I met Brave, the piercer. Yes, she does look like the coolest version of Merida ever! She was educated classy and went above and beyond to help my crooked nostril piercing. I am recommending them to everyone regardless of whether or not they discuss tattoos! Very wonderful, graceful, and kind."

  • "James did a great job with my paw print tattoo today. He was very friendly and knowledgeable in tattooing and helped me figure out how I will cover a tattoo in the future. Definitely recommend getting your next (or first) tattoo here! Pricing is decent too."
