Had an incredible experience with Buzd who went above and beyond to fit me in and get me exactly what I wanted. Buzd has a smooth touch and tattoos like he's been doing it for 20+ years because he takes his art and his work seriously. Thank you for the lasting memories.
Last Friday my gf and I were in town for aftershock and wanted a souvenir for our first time out west. This shop was amazing. Unfortunately I'm awful with names but our artist was friendly and very reasonable priced. The girl who was working the counter was very nice and helpful. She even helped looked up directions for me since I was in a new city. If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely be coming back!!
Phil's work is legendary. His 25+ years in the industry is evident in every aspect of his approach to a tattoo from the clean working environment, organization, art, preparation, equipment, inks, the tattooing itself, the speed at which he works, and the rates that result from his efficiency and fair pricing.
The vibe in his shop is the ideal parlor feel, between Chelsea making sure guests are right at home and an iconic collection of art, oddities and memorabilia.
I've also worked with Moe, Freddy, and Dakota. Professional, cool people all around.
