Had a great experience with Kamy Cao, wanted to get a full sleeve cover up done and she was able to make it happen! Space was super comfortable and made me feel like I was at home. Always taken care of to the fullest and would not hesitate to refer others to this shop. Artwork is amazing done by @kamyctattoo and am looking forward to more!
Had a great experience with Kamy. I first came to her to help me finish an existing tattoo. Kamy was very professional and creative in bringing my ideas to ink. Location easy to find and parking is available in the back of the shop. Very clean location, with tattoo need for cleanliness and hygiene I felt relaxed and enjoyed my session.
