Aura grew up in Lithuania in the wake of the Chernobyl disaster. The unfortunate nuclear melt down forced her to flee to the forest and live off the land. It was here that she met Bob and Jinny, two arctic Yetis that taught Aura to stay warm, dance the yeti dance, and hunt for her diet of raw rabbit meat.

I found Barb through Instagram and reached out to her through email to have a coverup tattoo done. She responded to me very quickly and even though her books were closed, she was able to get me a spot for about 7 months later. The wait was ABSOLUTELY worth it! Barb did the most beautiful coverup for me, and I had a great time chatting with her during our session. She even assured me that I can come back for a touch up after healing to make sure the old tattoo is covered. Barb was amazing to work with and I highly recommend her!

Stopped in to inquire. Received a name of an artist to contact. Sent an email got no response. Sent a second email with an explanation of what I wanted and received a response with a possible appointment date and time. Sent an email to confirm but received no response again. I think I'll go elsewhere where the communication is better.

North Main Tattoo studio was very professional. I overall had a great experience getting my very first tattoo. The receptionist Renee was very very kind and helpful and made me feel very welcome at their establishment. The studio was very clean as well. My tattoo artist Jay was very helpful and kind throughout my whole tattoo experience. He helped me get the size and get the tattoo exactly where I had imagined it going. I had a great experience at North Main Tattoo and I recommend it to anyone who wants to get a tattoo

I had made an appointment in January and August was the first available, but it was 1000000% worth the wait. Best tattoo I've ever gotten, the work Jay Wheeler did is better than I could have imagined. The staff is friendly, the shop is ridiculous clean, and as you see from my dog portrait their work speaks for itself.

Aura and the staff at North Main Tattoo Studio are the absolute best! The atmosphere in the studio is calming and very clean with interesting and cool artwork to look at while you wait. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and my tattoo artist Aura is absolutely amazing!! She is extremely talented and super personable, very friendly and easy to talk with. She explains everything throughout the entire process and helped make it enjoyable and relaxing. This was my first tattoo so I really appreciate how Aura and the staff at North Main made everything very calming and a great experience. Looking
