    I have been wanting my septum pierced for so long! Gilberto was amazing and so patient with all my questions. He was very encouraging and supportive while also communicating every step of the way. I’m so happy with my results. If anyone needs any piercings done, this was a wonderful little walk-in. Thank you! I will be back! ✨

    Gilberto I honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and comfortable. The studio was clean, professional, and had such a great vibe. My artist really took the time to listen to my ideas, added their creative touch, and turned my vision into something even better than I imagined.

    The attention to detail is incredible — every line is clean, the shading is smooth, and the artwork healed beautifully. You can tell they truly care about their craft and about their clients. They were patient, professional, and made sure I felt confident throughout the entire process.

    I got my first tattoo with him thinking I was not going to get more and a few weeks after I went for more. I really like Gilbertos work all my tattoos have been done by him because I love his work and the fact that I give him the ideas I want in my tattoo and he creates a very good design. I’m always satisfied of my results.Very great customer service on my experience I could say the best tattoo shop.
