True West Tattoo Tattoo

“Phil did an amazing job with my first tattoo. My brother and I had unique tattoos that we wanted to get back to back. Phil was very flexible with his schedule, took his time with our designs, let us move things around as much as we wanted, and ultimately provided an awesome experience. He was very accurate with his original estimate and was super fair when it came to pricing. I'd definitely go back.

Two Ten Tattoo Tattoo

“Extremely satisfied with Ryan Kim’s work on my new tattoo. I made an appointment with him not knowing fully what i wanted to get and he was able to design something based on some ideas and I really fell in love with it. He helped me plan out the location and colors for the tat really well and I couldn’t have asked for anything better! He’s a super cool and genuine guy with great talent and took his time to make it look perfect, I will definitely be coming back to get some more work done by him. Thanks Ryan you rock!“

Birdhouse Tattoo Collective Tattoo

“This place is amazing. I'd been looking for the right artist and design to have this cover-up done for a couple years, and it wasn't until I randomly walked in here and talked with Wes that things finally stated to come together. The place is very welcoming and unintimidating. Wes was very responsive and reasonable as I was planning my return to the area to have the piece completed. In the two days I spent having the work done, I was also fortunate to learn about the environment and overall mission of what he is trying to cultivate and grow with the artists here. I also got to see some of the other artists complete their work, and would recommend any of them here for the work you may be looking for. Just as an aside, it is very impressive how well prepared and professional these artists are when conducting such personal and permanent work. Highly recommend, and the tunes were enjoyable all weekend too.“

Michelle Landis Cosmetics Tattoo

“Couldn’t recommend Michelle more! I’ve been driving up from LA for my brows since 2021 because the experience is beyond worth it. I’m always getting compliments on my brows and shamelessly share that my micro blading is what makes them pop! Michelle’s studio is beautiful, so welcoming, and the results speak for themselves.

Requested style: Custom to your face, eyes, and brows

Specialities: Microblading, lamination, any semi permanent makeup (freckles)

Cleanliness: So clean!“
