I had my first tattoo done by Tosh. A very intricate and large phoenix on my back. She did an amazing job! She was very gentle, entertaining, comforting and fast. Absolutely will be getting more from Tosh.

My wife and I get anniversary tattoos and we went in to see Roary on Fri 7/23. Roary is awesome! The quality of work he does is fantastic, he is easy to talk to and just overall seems like a nice dude. However long Roary wants to be a tattoo artist, he has two customers for life.

I have been getting tattoos from Karissa for many years. She fixed one sleeve and is working on the other. Being a veteran, I have had tattoos from 4 different states now and quite a few tattoo artists, and Karissa is by far the most artistic and professional of them all. Everyone who works there is friendly and there is never a dull moment (minus the extremely painful moments) when you are getting your tattoos. These pictures are the beginning of the new sleeve.

Tosh is fantastic. She did 3 tattoos on me and they all turned out FANTASTIC. She has such a light hand and even when I wanted to change things last minute, she was super cool and understanding. Highly recommend!!!!

Tosh did a floral heart today on my ribs. It is absolutely gorgeous!! I told her an idea of what I wanted and she drew the design just how I was imagining it! She was able to get me in fast as well. It was my first tattoo and she had a very light hand, kept me calm, encouraged me, and was very professional and clean. I can’t say enough about her!!

AnnMare did this amazing lil reaper on me. A small tribute tattoo for my deceased father. She was super professional, had a amazing personality, and really gave me a great tattoo experience. The shop was super clean and followed COVID guidelines. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Word of mouth brought me to Kawbi Tattoo and I was so impressed with their work that I came back for more. I have seen ink done on other people that was really awful, but at Kawbi their work is top notch. I had major spinal surgery that left me with a very ugly scar all the way down my back and they gave me a gorgeous floral design covering the top half of the scar. Wearing sundress’s and tops is not embarrassing anymore. Everywhere I go people are constantly complementing my tattoos and want to know who did them. Their prices are very reasonable and super friendly owners, staff and artists.
