Customers frequently praise the studio's clean environment, skilled line work, and accommodating walk-in policy. Positive reviews highlight fair pricing, attentive communication during design consultations, and the ability to transform client concepts into detailed pieces. However, lower-rated feedback indicates a recurring pattern of poor customer service, including rude interactions, unresponsiveness to inquiries, and last-minute appointment cancellations that left some clients dissatisfied with their experience.

Heidi and her crew are top notch.
My wife and I have been tattooed by Heidi, and my daughter and I by Allysa.
Both were excellent experiences.
Very clean shop with incredible artists.

What an absolutely perfect experience and result. I walked in without an appointment, just a concept. I had the absolute pleasure of getting Jesse as my artists and he brought my concept to life flawlessly. When I envision the quintessential perfect tattoo artist, it’s Jesse through and through. This wasn’t my first tattoo but if I could go back in time it would be him. Just an incredibly kind, easy going, and of course talented individual. The shop itself is a museum/ art gallery of diverse tattoo styles, a high end visual all you can eat buffet. Extremely clean, timely and VERY well priced. Worth travelling here from far and wide to bring your concepts to life.

Kenny did an AMAZING job on my color tattoo. I gave him an idea which incorporated the already existing "I love you" sign. I wanted birthstone color plumerias, after discussing it and him drawing up the design, he made suggestions to perfect it! Very friendly and clean facility. Will go back to him again! I love it!
