What customers said about tattoo aftercare
Inceptive Art StudioLeslie was really great throughout the entire process reaching out to me shortly after I left my contact information at the shop. I appreciated her patience as we went back and forth with the design until it was something I was truly happy with. Her design is amazing and I am thoroughly impressed with how much…
Inceptive Art StudioI had such a great experience here. I was a walk in appointment, I felt welcome and comfortable. The shop is very clean and Cory was amazing. I left feeling confident, educated and happy. Definitely will be returning. Recommend 100%.
Inceptive Art StudioI came to start a half sleeve with Leslie she’s a dope artist who takes time and care on every tattoo that she does. I drove out from LA to get tatted here and I’ll keep doing it for a solid artist.
Inceptive Art StudioThis was my first time ever getting a tattoo. Mia was my tattoo artist and let me tell you … I didn’t feel pain or discomfort (like I thought it was going to be) , she was beyond awesome, I ended up getting 2 tattoos in the same day 😅. Thank you so much Mia , you are awesome, I will definitely be back to you !
Inceptive Art StudioHad an amazing experience fast and amazing quality and over all 10/10 experience forsure coming back !!!
Inceptive Art StudioOne of the best experiences that I've ever had at a tattoo shop! Great service and friendly people. Thank you Preston for the great work you did and an awesome experience once again thank you.
