Marc did the most amazing job on this mini mask for my finger!! I can’t believe how perfectly it healed and how easy the whole process was. He was so fun to work with, and I couldn’t have picked a better spot to get a tattoo. If I lived in PB, I would be a weekly regular here!! Incredible experience and technique,…

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.

Niko is an amazing tattoo artist! I came in on Monday night (off the cuff) and they took me as a walk in no problem. I wanted a matching tattoo that my sister has and he got the design perfectly! The whole process only took about 20 min and I’m very happy with the results! I would highly recommend this tattoo shop…
