Des is super sweet and went above and beyond on my tattoo. She did a color test on an unassuming spot to make sure the colors would look right on my brown skin. That's excellent attention to detail and shows she cares about the final product alllllllllmost as much as me. I wanted to leave photos of the finished product but I haven't been back. Life happens. I plan on visiting soon. Hubby owes me a tattoo ;)
I went in to get an anime tattoo from Anderson on my birthday and it was overall a really great experience. It was a very clean and chill environment and Anderson was very kind and respectful. I came in with my friend and we had some really nice conversations with him while I was getting my tattoo done. I love how he worked with my budget and I love how my tattoo turned out. I’ll definitely be coming back :)
Austin and his wife are the literal definition of professional and amazing at what they do. Their shop is super down to earth, personable, and you can tell they love what they do. As a female with anxiety- especially when in a tattoo shop, austin made me feel like anxiety didn't exist. I felt like i had been a long time customer. He made me feel comfortable and was just truly down to earth. He is quick to respond and very accommodating. As far as the actual tattoo, i cant quit staring at it. The process was absolutely painless. Very reasonable pricing as well. I could go on and on about the positive experience here. Truly I cant wait to be back.
I literally love coming here. I have never felt more comfortable with the artist that work here. I have always worked with Austin aka Anderson tattooing and I’ve absolutely loved every piece that I’ve gotten from him. The other artist that work here are also very kind and welcoming. Austin is always able to keep a conversation with me while he’s creating an amazing tattoo. They are all very professional which is just another plus. The environment of their shop was designed to be open and inviting while still keeping one’s privacy.
I had a wonderful experience here. After reading the Google reviews, I sort of blindly chose this tattoo spot based on good reviews. I'm GLAD i did! I called to book with Austin and they were able to fit me in the next day. Unlike many of the tattoo shops I contacted, the staff here were very personable, organized, and detailed. They streamlined the process and was clear and consistent and didnt beat around the bush like others i had called about availability. Prior to getting tattooed, everything was explained and clarified to ensure I would be getting the tattoo I desired. After care instructions were given as well. AUSTIN does incredible work and takes pride and integrity in what he does. He ensures you're comfortable and frequently checks in with you to ensure you're getting the peice you desire. He also makes great recommendations if you ask. I asked about placement, etc. The other staff they were nice and friendly as well and kept good conversation. The shop is very tranquil and features some dope art. EVERYthing was kept very sterile and clean. And Austin was meticulous about sanitation. The pricing also was AMAZING. I couldn't be more happy with this tattoo an definitely will be back soon. I would definitely recommend this place. It's a vibe!
