I always come here to walk in, and they always do great! The price is always in my budget. Ally is amazing and does good work. I've gotten 3 tattoos here, and I'm always happy. The other worker Conner is lively and nice. Would recommend here for a first tattoo or tattoos in general. Everyone is sweet and really proves talent with their work.
The people who work there are very friendly but absolutely don’t go here if you’re looking to get a large tattoo. I went to go get a half sleeve done to cover up scars. I originally asked for a black and white during the first meeting, the one that you go to tell her what you want and where it’s gonna go. She said she’d come up with ideas and such. She did when I came back for my first day of getting the tattoo. She showed me a beautiful colored piece. I didn’t want to tell her I didn’t want it, though I originally asked for black and white. So I agreed and we got started. It all seemed good throughout the first session. All the lines got done and even a little bit of color was added. But that one day costed $750. The first hour of me being there though was just setup even though she said that’d be done before I got there. I agreed to come back a second day in hope that it’d be mostly done after the next six or so hours in the chair. I couldn’t be more wrong. When I came back another hour was spent setting up again and ultimately taking her and my time doing things that could have been done before I got there. She got to coloring and the session went good. Though I was hoping for more than half of the coloring to be done by the time the session ended. I decided after spending another $750 (plus tips) that it’d be pretty much mostly done. Unfortunately it wasn’t. I won’t be going back unless it’s for a smaller piece. Because her work is indeed beautiful.
A tattoo shop with quality, integrity, and respect at the heart of its business practices. The owner is incredibly personable and does excellent work. The other artist in the shop, who I got work done, is equally personable and very mindful of pain and comfort. After having a bad taste in my mouth from another shop in the valley, this shop has been refreshing and reignited my passion and heart for getting work done. 10/10 would recommend!!
I'm in the middle of getting a full chest piece covering up several tattoos I got in my youth that were fine....but they weren't cohesive, grown, and emblematic of the art I craved to wear on my skin. Nina is a second generation tattoo artist who owns her own business and keeps a nice place with super fun, friendly, yet professional staff. Her neo traditional work in particular is gorgeous and I think if you let her guide certain aspects of the artistry you're REALLY going to be wowed. That's honestly what I want in an artist whose work will be on me forever and ever. Bedside manner and set-up are impeccable, everything is comfy, tidy, and friendly for people of all ages and identities. Definitely give Nina's work a look over and know that her quality of work comes with a great, clean, welcoming environment that supports a small and local business (owned by one woman, to boot!!).
Morgan did a great job piercing my nose. She pierced exactly where I wanted and the healing process was easy and better than any past piercing experience I've had. No issues! Clean, sterile procedure. Very friendly and kept me informed throughout process so I'd know what to expect. This is the only place I would ever go for a piercing. She is awesome!! Thank you Morgan.
