Amazing experience. I flew in from the Bahamas for a cover-up, and Marcos began chatting with me about the design six weeks before I even arrived. I sent him photos of my ideas, we had a Zoom call to discuss the concept, and he stayed in constant communication leading up to my visit to make sure we had a solid plan.
Once I landed, we hit the ground running — he worked on the tattoo for 10 hours the first day and 8 hours the second. An absolute machine. The studio was clean with a great, relaxed energy. Manny and Thomas were working on clients as well, and the atmosphere was genuinely friendly and hospitable.
I couldn't be happier with the artwork — truly top...read full review
Had my first tattoo recently with Thomas. I'm not sure if I could have had a better experience. We talked through the process, answered my many questions, and made sure I was comfortable with everything throughout the session. Besides the fact I'm enamored with the tattoo, Thomas and the guys at sovereign gallery are so nice and funny which made it that much more enjoyable. Strongly recommend!
I had such a great experience here!! Marcos is a fantastic artist and he listened to all my ideas! He gave me exactly what I wanted but even better than I imagined it. I felt very safe and comfortable the vibes are great!
