“3rd time visiting what is now The Fig Leaf previously June Jung on York, the new location is incredible and the humble staff is still very welcoming. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Becca on two different projects and she is a wonderful Neo-traditional artist. Can’t say enough about her work and of the studio. There are other great artists as well that specialize in other styles so definitely check them out. Rob is also deserving of praise for manning the fort and making the lobby wait comfortable. Definitely will be back in the future.“

“I've been tattooed by Heather Bailey at Holy Union four times now and am totally in love with each piece. All four are custom designs and they've all healed beautifully with incredible colors and shading. She has such a wealth of artistic and technical knowledge that she's able to make all kinds of designs work in terms of how they fit on the body, flow with other pieces and simply feel right. All that said, her flash is incredible and I'm always tempted by it. So if you're having trouble deciding on a custom piece, she has a ton of great options that are as strong as her custom work.The shop itself is beautifully curated with artists' original flash, paintings and assorted art reflecting their passions and interests. It's an environment that feels rooted in the history of tattoo shops and you feel that excitement walking in, but it's also different from other shops in unique ways. There's so many custom and curated parts of the shop to soak in while you're getting tattooed. And as others have mentioned, the shop soundtrack is always on point. From beloved favorites to songs you're hearing for the first time, it all fits perfectly. And there's great food and coffee / juice options within walking distance to enjoy before and after.The shop has such a diverse clientele and everyone is always treated with so much respect and professionalism. Whether it's your first tattoo or you're almost totally covered, you're going to feel comfortable. All the staff and artists are really great. I just wrapped a tattoo and can't wait to be back again.“

“A big shout out to MASHA!! I googled amazing lettering tattoo artists, and her instagram popped up. Sent her a DM and my idea (my son's name on my wrist), and she got back with me with a date, time, and price! I get there, and the shop has some awesome vibes, very roomy, and open. Every artist is cool and chill. We get the stencil on, and I'm happy she was patient with me because we put it on 3 times just to get it right! During the tattoo, she's very cool. Talks to you, keeps you distracted, and is very focused on her work. Don't let my bad picture taking abilities be the judge of her work. Trust me, her lines are CRISP and SHARP.“

“I have nothing but good things to say about this shop. It’s beautiful and feels like a very safe space. I especially want to shout out my artist Lex. From the beginning she has been so kind and easy going. She makes the time fly by with great, genuine conversation. Lex makes the whole process so smooth. I have 3 tattoos done by her and will continue to come to her!! They are absolutely gorgeous! My favorite is the rose/555 in honor of my grandmother who recently passed. She made sure each one was exactly what I wanted. And never made me feel pressured! Thank you Lex and Opal Tattoo Studio for continuous great experiences. “
