Chacho has done my last 8 tattoos, including a full sleeve and a couple of cover-ups. After the very first one, I wanted to keep coming back and honestly have no desire to go anywhere else. Chacho is a real artist. He does amazing work, has great attention to detail, is very friendly, and could easily charge more…

Chris Ramos was amazing. Me and my husband came in wanting to have our daughter’s baby foot tattooed. He went above and beyond with everything, so patient with us trying to decide on our design. He did amazing work and communicated amazingly with the whole process.
