Leslie was really great throughout the entire process reaching out to me shortly after I left my contact information at the shop. I appreciated her patience as we went back and forth with the design until it was something I was truly happy with. Her design is amazing and I am thoroughly impressed with how much…

I came to start a half sleeve with Leslie she’s a dope artist who takes time and care on every tattoo that she does. I drove out from LA to get tatted here and I’ll keep doing it for a solid artist.

This was my first time ever getting a tattoo. Mia was my tattoo artist and let me tell you … I didn’t feel pain or discomfort (like I thought it was going to be) , she was beyond awesome, I ended up getting 2 tattoos in the same day 😅. Thank you so much Mia , you are awesome, I will definitely be back to you !

I found this tattoo shop through Yelp. I was just looking for a nearby shop and decided to look at their pictures, and I thought inceptive had the best looking artwork and cleanest work overall. Walked into inquire about getting a new tattoo on 9/11 and my artist Mia immediately followed up with me and scheduled me…
