Heidi is excellent not only in her work but her personality and professionalism is top tier all the way!!! We were referred to her by a friend who she did amazing work on so we never looked back ...can't say enough about the establishment it's always clean and well presented!!!! We have been there 3-4 times now and I'm sure the next visit is already in the planning stage 😂😂😂 What's admiration and appreciation!! Anna & Jim

I have gone to Heather for all my tattoos, it’s a great experience every time. She makes each visit feel comfortable! Definitely recommend booking with her!

Heather is awesome, and the shop is very welcoming! I’ve had all of my 7 pieces done by Heather now and she is amazing at what she does. From designing, to placement, to the work itself! It’s such a safe space for everyone in her booth!! She always makes sure you feel comfortable, and she even has a candy basket ;)

Went to Heather last night and she was incredible. Upon walking in the first thing I noticed was that the shop is incredibly clean and well kept. It was my first tattoo and although it was smaller I ended up sitting for two with her. I didn’t quite know the pain to expect and when she made it to my knuckle I got a little woozy and needed a minute. She was so kind & made sure I was 100% feeling better before she continued. She didn’t make me feel uncomfortable at all about needing a minute to get my shit together. She placed and replaced the stencil for me a few times before she got started chatted with me the whole time made me feel so comfortable. Such a sweet, gentle handed artist I would recommend her to anybody. Her work is also incredibly beautiful I am so happy to have this on me forever. If you’re reading this girl thank you so so much & please don’t ever stop what you’re doing because you are very special. Plus she loves axolotls and how could you not just love somebody that loves axolotls?!

We did walk in tattoos, a tradition when I travel. Gigs was our artist. He was fun and engaging as well as talented. Our tattoos came out perfect. He has a very light hand. Some artists are heavy handed, so those with a light touch are very appreciated! It's definitely go back to him for any work I wanted done if I was in the area. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
