My cousin and I went here for our first tattoo ever and we were so nervous. We were paired with Mia to do our tattoos. Not only did she do a phenomenal job but she was amazing with us and helped us through every step. HIGHLY would recommend her.

Leslie was really great throughout the entire process reaching out to me shortly after I left my contact information at the shop.
