Sean is an amazing, talented artist, and it shows in his work. Over the past year+ I've gotten several pieces done by him, and all of them are exactly what I'd hoped for, and more. I wouldn't trust anyone else to do this work for me. The shop is clean, and the people professional and courteous. I'm a big girl, and I've never felt one moment of discomfort going in. I can't wait to get more done!

First off Im extremely impressed with how clean this shop is which is pretty important to me. Sean and his partners have a great clean technique which makes me feel even more comfortable when getting new ink. They are all genuinely friendly and you can tell they take pride in the work they do - as they should.
Seans lines are smooth and straight, his shading is seamless and his colours are vibrant and consistent. The quality and creativity of Seans work is incredible. He is a true artist! Im so looking forward to my next ink session.
