Went here to get matching tattoos with my girl. We had a rough idea in mind but wanted to see what Nicky our artist came up with. We arrived at our appointmet but we messed up the time and we were 1 hour late. Nicky still wanted to go over the ideas she had drawn up. We picked one we liked ad since it was a simpler design she said she could still do our tattoo that day. That was great since I was visiting and do not live in Saskatoon. The shop is very hygienic and professional. Nicky as well as the other artist were very friendly and I felt comfortable. The tattoos turned out great! If you are
