    Best experience ! Weezy did an amazing job! He did matching tattoos on me and my fiance and they are perfect! Mine is color and he fit so many details in my tattoo and its small, my fiance got black and white it looked amazing the way the white popped. Go see him, and you will understand why I think him as an artist and the shop is so great! Highly recommend ! Update a year and a half later my tattoo is still so beautiful and vibrant! Here's it now.

    With so many shops to pick from it’s tough I know. The stunt bike and shop dog chilling out front attracted me to it. I met Weezy and gave him a couple ideas and he drew up something I’d never think of. He’s done my almost entire sleeve now and he will continue to be my dude for the remainder of my Tattoo journey. Really amazing shop everyone in there is great. Go in and see my boy Weezy the man’s so good at what he does.
