    Got my left full sleeve done here and couldn’t be happier. Marcus was respectful and kind. He blended my existing tiger and Kanji tattoos into a Japanese style sleeve, and the result looks incredible. I’ll definitely be back for more. Thank you.

    I recently got a traditional Japanese piece done by Marcus and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. His attention to detail, understanding of the style, and overall craftsmanship are on another level. He took the time to walk me through the design, explained the meaning behind the elements, and made sure everything flowed perfectly with my body shape.

    The shop was clean, professional, and welcoming. Marcus has a calm and patient presence, which made the long sessions surprisingly comfortable. The line work, shading, and color saturation are all flawless you can tell he truly cares about the art he creates.

    I’ve gone back to Marcus for a 2nd sleeve. His quality of work and attention to detail is top notch. My sleeves are unconventional traditional Japanese pieces, but he was very accommodating and worked with me to come up with something. Don’t stop what you’re doing bro. And thanks again for your hard work!
