1000% recommend Kiko. His work far exceeded my expectations and anything I could have possibly imaged on my own. Being a novice to getting tattoos, I was quite anxious about the pain and unsure if I would even be able to make it through the entire process (yes I watched way to many videos beforehand). Let me just say this...the most uncomfortable issue was my tailbone/rearend from sitting so long haha. As a person, he makes you feel like you have known him forever, like family. Being that I'm over 3000 miles from home, that means alot! I absolutely love how this turned out! I think it is one of the most beautiful tattoos I've ever seen and it gets to be mine!

Horrible experience and severely overcharged for incomplete tattoo. Kiko openly complains about other clients, shows up late, ghosts, and several times I showed up ready to sit for a while and he would say that’s it for now after an hour or less. He repeatedly wasted my time and completely jacked up my concept. Also stole a design from the internet I can easily google. Had to book multiple appointments for a tattoo and he still failed to finish. He also blamed me for “bleeding too much” and was openly irritated. Had to have the tattoo completely reworked by another artist and I will say the experience was night and day. In 6 hours the tattoo was reworked and I was kept completely comfortable. I experienced a lot of pain under Kiko’s hand especially with shading. About to go in and finally finish 1/2 sleeve and once again have Kiko’s original work enhanced for final corrections. Tattoo now has cost me twice as much as a 1/2 sleeve should cost. Think twice before letting this man touch you. I attached Kiko’s work compared to new artist rework.

Kiko was amazing. He did 4 big butterflies in 3-4 hrs. Super fast, not heavy handed. Very friendly and welcoming. His shop is beautifully put together. He is very professional. I booked my second session already! I love his work. Never disappoints!

Kiko was awesome today. He was able to create a great sunflower design that came out better than I imagined. He was super chill and willing to offer as many breaks as I may have needed. I was able to get an appointment with him super quick. Loved his work so much and will definitely be back for more tattoos with him.

Great shop atmosphere, very welcoming. Kiko and his apprentice Jake did amazing work. You can tell right off the bat Kiko’s passion has spread throughout the artists in his shop. Clean work spaces, and definitely one of the top tier shops I’ve had work done in!
