Marc at Above All Tattoo is the real deal. I’ve been going to him for a while now — from a cover-up to touch-ups and color pieces — and every session has been solid. His creativity and professionalism really stand out, and the vibe at the shop is always chill and welcoming. If you’re thinking about getting some ink done, definitely hit up Marc.

Had an amazing experience at this tattoo shop! I came in looking for a tattoo artist who could do a cover up in PB. After being turned down by a few shops , Kipper was able to help me out ! He did an awesome job and gave me exactly what I was looking for. The place was clean and inviting too. Highly recommend checking this place out and ask for KIP!

Tony did an amazing job on my tattoo. I was a little worried because not everyone can make color pop on people with melanin skin but his work was flawless !
