Absolutely an amazing experience. Tattoo artist Chaz made it all worth it. He was very professional and attentive to my every request. He sketched out the perfect design, talked me through the possible pain expectancies, tattoo maintenance/care, and pricing. I will be back. I would again highly recommend CHAZ !!!

10/10 Experience! This is my first tattoo, and I was super nervous coming in, and Chaz was super helpful with that ! He was very professional, but also had a relaxing and comforting vibe that allowed me to trust that he knew what he was doing, and that he was going to make my experience as comfortable as possible.…
