    Had difficult location for design, but Dave came through with as close as possible outcome. Really appreciate all the information, being my first tat. Super talented and real nice guy.

    I happened to stop in this tattoo shop one evening, just to see pricing on a tattoo idea that I’ve been wanting to do. Not only did I receive my tattoo that same night with the owner, Dave, he was very informative, patient, and thorough with my questions and tattoo! He also provided my friend and I with tokens for a next time service, (which I cashed in the next day) and used it towards a freehand cover-up the same day. Dave, and his team are talented, and thorough with their work, and I’d recommend them to anyone who’s looking for some new art! Thank you!

    I went on Friday the 13th for their tattoo special and they didn’t disappoint! I’m glad I drove by and just happened to see this shop: Gotta give Jessie a shout out for his incredible skills that he’s clearly honed over the years. He came up with a ghostface (from SCREAM) I’m really happy with. I’ll be back for more.
