Sky has been my artist for three years, always does an amazing job. Her work is impeccable and the ideas/elements she adds always make the piece. She works with the clients and makes you feel welcome.

Super friendly and fun environment! They really take their time to make sure your tattoo turns out amazing quality. I’m currently doing a back piece cover up that isn’t even finished yet, and I’m already obsessed with how good it looks, can’t wait to finish for the final result.

Don't even waste your time going here, they have absolutely no interest in doing any work. Went there today with my design all set. Just needed to finalize the design, price and when we can do it. However, I was told to go home and go to Instagram to find out how much my custom work is. One can only assume if they can't give you a price with the design in hand in their store that they are not capable of custom work and can only do the few designs they have on Instagram. I have many tattoos done before and have never had a shop tell me to leave and go to Instagram to find a price. Absolute joke.

Response from the owner · 2 months ago

Hi, so sorry you felt this way. All of our artists charge differently so normally we do not price designs unless we are sitting down doing a consult with you. There are a lot of different factors that go into pricing such as - sizing, detail, if you want color or not, placement. If everyone was tattooing at the time you came in, yes we will usually ask you to go on our social media to view our work so you can look through each artist and see who’s style you like best/ or who fits best for the work you want done. I can assure you all of us do custom tattoos and do not limit ourselves to doing only a few designs as you said. If you had gone on our social media to see everyone’s profile you would see that everyone does have their own style, some of us do multiple styles as well. For example when you came in, it is possible the artist was telling you to view our social media so you can decide who is best for the tattoo you want to get. Some of our artist are cheaper than others and if someone had given you a price that price would only apply to that one person which is why we recommend you to view everyone’s work before hand so you can get a price from the artist you want. Thank you for the feedback, we do try to convert these situations into consults, rather than just giving prices.

Love coming here for new pieces! I first met Sky during one of their Friday the 13th flash events and immediately loved both her work and her vibe. I recently came back for a larger color piece in honor of my cat who passed away last year, and she absolutely exceeded my expectations. The tattoo turned out beautiful, and she was so thoughtful throughout the entire process. The overall atmosphere of the shop is welcoming, fun, and comfortable. Everyone there is incredibly kind and friendly, which makes every visit a great experience. I can’t recommend this shop enough, and I’ll definitely be back for more work!
