Went in for a custom flash i had in mind and Biggie jumped right on it! He brought my ideas to life within the hour and boooiiiii them lines came out more crisp than a can of coke right out the fridge. Amazing artist but more noticeably important an amazing person!
I got a tattoo here with memo and biggie. Both were awesome! I took a nap during memo’s while getting a fine line tattoo. Biggie allowed me to customize one of his Halloween flash tattoos. He was great to talk to and very professional. I will 100% be going back to get another
I wish I could give them 10 stars! I love everything about this shop. I’ll definitely go back for more tattoos. It’s extremely clean. The work is TOP notch. They’re informative before, during, and after the appointment. Everyone I interacted with was fantastic- Memo was my artist and is probably the best on earth(you can’t beat his lines!), Dahlia was super organized and responsive at the desk, Alix and Biggie were excellent to chat with (in passing) about other opportunities for piercings and tattoo makeup.
Amazing experience.Beautiful line work. Very caring staff. Have had both a tragus piercing & a tattoo (by Damion Jones). Unbelievably detailed line work for my crone-era tattoo. The place was aseptic clean & comfortable. Will be back for more art.
