@ale.Rosa.ink is an exceptional artist. My daughter designed my tattoo and Ale expressed and enhanced the botanical lotus beautifully. Her lines and colors expressed exactly what I wanted and the energy and intention behind the symbols. The rooms are beautiful, clean and comfortable. I highly recommended this studio.
Emily Pax at Castro Tattoo designed and tattooed the most beautiful possum queen there ever was. The shop itself was very clean and welcoming, and Emily was truly so lovely. Her work is amazing, detailed, and so thoughtful, and I had a wonderful time chatting with her while she created Phillipa. I would highly recommend to anyone.
