I went in for a cover up on a terrible tattoo and Chris was extremely professional and worked with me on what I wanted. He was extremely patient, and done such an amazing job! I will be going back to him! Can’t even tell there was one underneath it!

Had a friend come into town for a birthday and so I decided to surprise her with a tattoo appointment. Not only did they have good availability, but they were also super accommodating to our limited schedule since my friend had to leave the next night. I don’t remember the young woman at the front’s name but she’s doing an awesome job with screening people at the door and giving info! Carlos was our artist and let me just say that he’s one of the few genuine people I’ve ever met. Yes, his line work was amazing and the tattoos turned out exactly how we wanted them, but it’s the socialization

Went in yesterday and got a tattoo with Chris. All I can say is wow. This is definitely top notch work. Super cool guy and was super cool to talk with during the 4+ hrs it took. Super happy I made the decision to come to this shop. All around everyone who works there are super chill. I went with a realism tattoo which Chris absolutely knocked out of the park but he is super talented at a variety of styles from looking at his portfolio. Safe to say I’ll be coming back for another tat very soon
