Kaye is a serious artist, a light hand & a great guy. Just finished my 3rd piece with him & I’ll be back for more.

Shingken is absolutely brilliant! His focus and attention to detail was amazing. He was methodical, careful and patient. His line work, shading and ability to create 3-D is fantastic. Shingken is a true artist.

I had such a great experience getting my inner lip tattoo done by Kaye at Hermosa Ink. Not only is it surprisingly hard to find an artist who still does inner lip tattoos, but Kaye handled it with total professionalism and ease. The process was super quick, incredibly clean, and to my surprise—virtually painless! He…

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Bruno Townse at Hermosa Ink Tattoo. I’ve now had seven tattoos done by him, and with each one, he continues to surpass my expectations. His work with extreme fine lines is nothing short of masterful — the precision, detail, and care he puts into every piece is…

My mother (86 yr old) got her first tattoo. Shingken took excellent care of both of us. We got matching tats, and they are perfect. We'll be going back soon for more tats. Love this place!

Bruno did a great job for me once again! His lines are precise and clean and the free touch up was very appreciated. I'll be back soon and would recommend Bruno to anyone!

Alex is an exceptional artist. He is truly talented. You walk out with something much more amazing than the original stencil/freehand drawing. To be able to tattoo details "on the spot" is a gift. Can't wait to finish my sleeve with him.
