Walked in spur of the moment for a simple tattoo and Kipper was great! Friendly, easy, comfortable experience! Having no tattoos and only wanting something so small and simple I was nervous/shy popping into places and my experience here was perfect and easy!

We came back to Tony for our second tattoos with him since we loved how our first ones came out. We brought in our own design. It was a cipher of our wedding date. The placements on both were great and we walked out very happy. Will definitely be coming back. Thanks again Tony.

Tony was great. I came in asking for a 4 inch flower tattoo for my son and he delivered. I was very impressed with the details that he was able to get into such a small tattoo. He is very friendly and does great work. 100% would recommend and I will absolutely be coming back for my next tattoo.

I went in and saw Chop to get a watercolor tattoo. It was my first tattoo but he made it super easy. I reached out to him the night before and he saw me first thing the next morning. When I got there he was ready to go and the whole process was great. He made me feel very comfortable and at ease. The aftercare…
