    Excellent shop - extremely friendly, CLEAN and professionally run. I just got my ears pierced by Jordyn; quick, easy and wonderful care and instruction. I'm looking forward to going back for more work, both piercing and tattoos.

    UPDATE: After getting pierced here, I went back to get some work done. I met Sergio Santiago and his traditional work is phenomenal! He helped me with some Buffy the Vampire Slayer tattoos (Jenny Calendar's rose and the actress who plays her - Robia LaMorte - signature I got from Hellmouth Con the prior weekend). Sergio is nothing but fuckin' awesome, extremely kind and will work with your ideas. The shop is so clean and all the artists...read full review

    Sergio did our very first tattoos. They were drawn by us and simple. Sergio recreated them beautifully. He also made our first experience perfect. Sergio thank you for your artistry. We will always recommend you to others when asked about our tattoos.💕
