My friends and I all were walk ins and got 2 sets of matching tattoos (8 small tattoos total). Both artists were amazing! So patient with us and allowed all 4 of us to be back there with each other.

My tattoo artist was Chaz, we had good conversation and he changed a few things for my tattoo! Clean area, very good vibes, and good music choice, too. Definitely will be back again for my next tattoos.
