Just got another tattoo from Shingken. As always, it turned out so dope! Love it! I'll be back again soon to continue with my patchwork sleeve.

My sister and I called ahead for a walk in piercing and tattoo apt. Trisha was able to get me in for a tattoo that day. Made me feel really welcomed and comfortable right from the start. She had me send her the design and asked for placement beforehand via text which gave her time to prep and made the apt so…

Cihan started a half sleeve for me and I love the work! He’s an amazing artist and has a very gentle touch. I’ve never had a tattoo heal so perfectly which I attribute to his style. He focuses on details and takes his time to make your piece perfect. Highly recommend Cihan to everyone looking for quality work. He…

Sofie is as profesional as a professional tattoo artist can be. She has extreme patience, an eye for detail and a steady hand. 10/10 do recommend getting tatted by her!

My most recent tattoo experience with Bruno was great as usual. I got an ankle tattoo touched up and two new script tattoos. I absolutely love them. They are perfect and fit right in with the previous work he has done. I am thankful for his expertise, patience and great quality of work. I appreciate the environment of the shop as well. Thank you, Ciera M.

I was highly impressed with Bruno. He did a wonderful job with my patch sleeve. I will definitely be going back to him to get more done. He does excellent work and he’s also fast.

Sophie Hart is an excellent artist. She’s been working on my geometric sleeve and has done a great job lining everything up with precision. I gave her the rough idea for an esoteric sleeve incorporating the elements, and she’s really brought it together. She listens carefully and adds thoughtful touches to the…

I had a great experience at Hermosa Ink. Sophie Hart was the artist I worked with. She took my ideas and created something beautiful. I really could not be happier with the outcome of my tattoo and would recommend this parlor to anyone who asks.
