I can't say enough about Alicia at Rolling Sea. She has an extraordinary talent. She was able to take the concept that I had envisioned and was able to completely capture that vision in her art with only my description. It exceeded my expectations. I was also nervous before coming in as it had been over a decade since my last few tattoos, and she put me at ease with her humor and easy going nature. I would 100% recommend Alicia and hope to return soon!

I've been to Rolling Sea numerous times for tattoos, and I've left satisfied every time. Alicia has the ability to encapsulate ideas and bring them to life. I found her to have a nice balance of meeting client needs, while also inputting her own opinions. Alicia is talented, easy-going, professional, and committed. She's an artist, and one I'd definitely recommend to others for future work.

Alicia was amazing! She did beautiful work on the project I presented her with. She went above and beyond to make the piece exactly what I wanted and I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent on her table. We are super lucky to have an artist of her callibre in our town!

Alicia was amazing. This is my third tattoo and my favourite. Not only was she professional and courteous but she was patience and understanding. Get you next tattoo from her and you won't regret it.
