I recently got a tattoo done by Elisa here, she was amazing and I had such a good experience. I have had a few tattoos done in other places and this by far has been the best time I've had while getting a tattoo, I highly recommend her for sure! She was amazing, time flew by and she was so kind!

They charge the hourly rate for touch ups on their own artists work , so once it heals and the artist fudged up they charge you to fix the mistake! Don’t waste your money here, go to a better shop!!

First tattoo! Atticus came highly recommended and did not disappoint! I had a few questions before my appointment and all concerns were promptly addressed. The process was thoughtful and professional. Thank you, Brandon, for an awesome tattoo, and for making me feel relaxed during my first experience! Kudos!

I recently had about 22 hours of tattooing done by Paul N. over several weeks. The end result was absolutely phenomenal. I couldn't be happier. The staff was prompt and courteous. They were able to accommodate my appointments to fit my schedule. The facility was clean and spotless. Their location was easy to get to with more than ample parking. I would highly recommend Paul N. and Atticus for any of your tattoo work and design. Top shelf service and excellent quality workmanship. 10 out of 10 in my books.
