5 stars for Anka at RockBottom Tattoo Studio in SD! Super talented, professional, and made the whole experience comfortable and easy. She took care of my bestie and I as walk-ins. It didn’t feel rushed and she took the time to fully listen and apply what exactly we wanted. The attention to detail was amazing—highly recommend!
