What a terrific little tattoo shop. Nested on the edge of Lil Tokyo and East los. The shop is well maintained, organized and hospitable. My artist was Jack, who did an amazing job on my forearm piece. She made sure the design style, placement, and size was to my liking. Worked with efficiency and the results are looking great in my healing process. Thank you jack and kurikara crew for this wonderful tattoo.
