Joe Paul is an incredible artist! He did my first and second tattoo and I couldn’t be happier. The shading color work on my flower exceeded my expectations. So impressed with his skills! Such a kind and nice guy to work with too!

Got an amazing tattoo from Joe! He was so professional and really listened to what I wanted. Go here - you will not be disappointed! Also he was able to cover an old tattoo perfectly. My friend also got a coverup from him that turned out amazing.

Joe Paul has been an amazing artist. My entire family have had work done by him and the attention to detail and quality of his work shines through in all of the work we have had done. Both of my sleeves were custom made and were able to hit all of the styles I was interested in incorporating. Overall I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you for all your work!

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! Joe Paul created an amazing design to cover up a large tattoo on my forearm. Three sessions later I had the tattoo I wanted in the first place. Joe is collaborative and kind and it was a pleasure to be tattooed by him. Highly recommend!

I had a wonderful experience getting a tattoo from Lo! She was great in communicating before the tattoo, through the design process, as well as the day of. The shop was small but very cute and comfortable. My tattoo has healed beautifully and I can’t wait to get my next from Lo.
