Been going to this shop for a while now & have gotten all my tattoos from Jadd (shout out to Jadd). I randomly went into the shop with my friends and got Trevor as my walk in artist. Trevor was fast and efficient with the tattoo ! Now I have 2 favorite artists at the shop. Thank you Jadd & Trevor for making my experiences always a good one ! I’ll be back !

Great place to get a tattoo! I recently got my first tattoo, at 52 years old. I felt nervous, the staff made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions and concerns. The shop was clean and organized. My Tattoo Artist was Trevor Tipper, he explained all the steps and listened to all my ideas. His stencil was great, and my tattoo came out beautifully. I got some Hawthorne flowers.I really like the way he shaded the leaves, they look so real. I've gotten so many compliments. I loved the way all of the staff got along and how they were positive and complimented each other. It felt like family. Three weeks later I booked another appointment with Trevor. Another beautiful tattoo. Thank you. The experience was great. Definitely recommended.

Trevor Tipper was my tattoo artist, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience, especially for my first tattoo. I shared with him that my mom had passed away and that I wanted this tattoo to honor her memory. I explained how much she loved lavender and how important it was for me to carry her with me forever. Trevor was incredibly compassionate and reassuring. He gave me confidence throughout the entire process and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. The result was a beautiful tattoo that means more to me than words can express. To top it all off, they even treated me to Chinese food at the end to celebrate, which was such a kind and thoughtful gesture. I genuinely feel blessed to have had him as my artist, and I know my mom would be so happy to see it. Thank you, Trevor, for creating something so meaningful.

10/10 recommend, even for first timers! I came in as a walk-in and Josh elected to be my artist. All I could say is I wish I came to him for all my previous tattoos!He's very professional, funny, and he was able to capture the idea for the tattoo I wanted, even better than I imagined. Very pleased with the final result and at a reasonable price too!

Visiting for the week, found this shop via social media - had looked into a few - i did not make an appointment so there was a bit of a wait but to be expected IMO & experience. The receptionist is fabulous. The shop is welcoming, bright, clean & traditional I did a halloween flash & a GWYG for some gap fillers & well i love collecting ink from different artists. Andrew was great, definitely a vibe , and i walked out extremely in love with my 2 newest additions
