So it's been a while since I got a tattoo here. (17 years according to Yelp! Gasp! ). I stalked the gorgeous Miya Matsui and I am so glad I checked her out! I wanted Memorial tattoo for my mom, who passed in 2017 and Miya did such a beautiful job! Love her work. The tattoo is of my native Filipino sampaguita and butterfly. She is absolutely phenomenal and worth every fricken penny I spent one her! She definitely needs to have an assistant though. She is super busy and is sometimes not that responsive. Be patient with her though. She is worth the wait.

Reviews
10 years ago I went to get a tattoo on my thigh. My first. And in color, medium sized. It took two sittings. I had a great experience. I think the artist's name may have been Rocio?
Very friendly vibe in this shop. Got about halfway through a piece with Wolf and I can’t wait for the next session, they are amazingly talented. One of the co-owners even grabbed me a Diet Coke while I was getting tattooed which was super sweet. Highly recommend this shop.
