Best Tattoo artist!! Best experience hands down!
Came in for a cover up on my hand, great people. Some good talent as I watched an artist work while waiting. Very welcoming! However I waited 3 hours for the artist to show as it was a walk in. my hand blew up. Not my first tattoo, took good care of it. Next day I woke up and it was doubled its size. Seeping fluids.…

G returned my phone call the same day, and, since one of his clients didn’t show up, I was able to get in right away. Normally, his wait time is about a month and a…
George is pure magic with a tattoo machine. He took my idea, made it even better, and delivered a piece that’s crisp, vibrant, and flawless. The vibe was relaxed, the studio spotless, and the whole experience unforgettable. Already planning my next one!

Even though I have to come back to finish my tattoo I’m really looking forward to George doing what he do best at creating masterpieces.
James was very professional from the moment I inquired about getting a tattoo to the very end. He did a job about Didn’t covering up my Superman tattoo that I wanted to covered up. He took his time and the details on the tattoo are very amazing. Definitely will work with him in the future.
