    I had a great experience. I was visiting LA and chose this shop for the ratings. It didn’t disappoint. I wanted a neck tattoo and I wrote to them and they responded within 30 minutes. The price was really reasonable and the artist was great and detailed. The shop was really clean and I enjoyed the vibe. Kinda sad I live on the east coast because I’d def be back really soon!
