My boyfriend and I impulsively decided to get tattoos yesterday and we saw that The Skin Museum did walk ins. We walked in and Chaz took us immediately and was so helpful! He was so respectful and explained everything he was doing during the tattoo and was so personable. The tattoo didn’t take long and turned out…

Love this shop! My sister and I needed to find a spot that took walks-ins because we wanted matching tattoos while I was in town. Chaz got us right in and absolutely killed it. His fine line and cursive was on point. Everyone there is super friendly and relax. I'll definitely be back skin museum!
