My partner and I had flash tattoos done by Carlos aka spit blossoms on ig. He is working as an apprentice, but the tattoo came out great. Place also has a cool vibe.
I just got a lovely tattoo from Carlos. I have followed him (@spit_blossoms) on Instagram for years and bought some art from him before, so I was very excited to see that he had started tattooing! I drove up from Santa Cruz and got one of his flash tattoos of a beautiful winged woman. The studio was clean and well decorated and the experience with Carlos was great! I’ll definitely be back for another piece.
I’ve followed the apprentice artist here, Carlos, online for years and was so excited when he started tattooing near where I live! Now I get to have a piece of his art on my body forever!! His art is all careful black line work and even as an apprentice the lines look great so far after a week of healing. We had great conversations in the studio and it was overall a good, clean environment to get a tattoo.
I reached out to this shop after seeing their information when googling tattoo shops near me while on a work trip to the Bay area. I was on a time crunch and was wanting to get tattooed while I was here. They linked me up with of their guest artist Grandison. Turns out, him and I are from the same area of Virginia. What a small world. He drew up an amzing tattoo and made sure to get me taken care of before I left town. Squeezed me in for an 8hr tattoo which went into the night. If I'm ever in this area again I'd love to come back. I love my smooth experience with everything. 10 out of 10 would absolutely recommend.
Me and my partner just got a tattoo from Carlos and we are extremely happy with the results!!! He was so pleasant and we had a great, relaxed time talking. They had good snacks too! Definitely coming back.
