Got my first tattoo here. Kaia is great at getting you to be comfortable, the whole experience was great. She was very clean with her workspace and cleaned in between clients as well. Really appreciated that, can’t wait to come back and maybe get another one!
Clean, beautiful and friendly studio. Kaia is a tremendously kind and gracious artist whose work speaks for itself. I came here for my first tattoo and immediately felt comfortable. The experience was perfect.
Kaia is the most bestest person and artist I think ever actually in the whole world!!! Will go out of the way to visit her any chance I get! Love love love you Kaia!!! ♥️
I am so happy I came to Kaia! I was closing a difficult chapter in my life, and blooming into a new one. I reached out one morning to see if Kaia could fit me in same day (normally I would schedule an appointment but I was feeling spontaneous this day) and she was able to. Immediately, her presence was so lovely and…
Kaia is amazing! Had a new piercing fall out overnight and needed help on short notice. She got me in quickly. So warm, friendly, and incredible energy. Her shop is so cute! Very clean and easy to find. I’ll definitely be back. Thank you!!
I can’t even express how much I fell in love with not only the studio itself, but with my artist and how devoted she is to her clients ! no headphones were needed for my session, it was all talk. I wouldn’t want it any other way. Best Artist with an even better personality!

I have never had a better tattoo experience! Kaia is so sweet and knowledgeable, fast and beautiful line work.
The sweetest, kindest, funniest soul I’ve ever met. She knows a woman’s body and makes the process ten times safer. She’s done over half my body now and I’m so grateful 💚💚

Awe Thank you so so much for this review!!!!🥰🥰🥰 it means a lot!! Cannot wait for next time 🥳🥳🥳
Can't recommend Kaia enough. She is so warm and welcoming, on top of being a phenomenal artist. Customer for life!
On arrival I was greeted down stairs and brough up to a beautiful open concept studio with plants and bright natural lighting. The space was very clean and comfortable. This artist was super professional and worked with me to get my stencil just right for over an hour! I’m IN LOVE with my new butterfly throat tattoo. They were “light handed” and the experience was above 5 starts! I will be coming back for all my other tattoos.
