    I’ve had a great experience at The Dead Whale Tattoo Studio. The space is clean, professional, and welcoming, and Sarie is a very talented artist. Her color work is especially beautiful, and she took great care with the custom pieces she created for me. I highly recommend the studio to anyone looking for quality work and a great overall experience.

    Jim at The Dead Whale Tattoo Studio did two tattoos for me recently and they both came out incredible. He was very attentive to what I wanted, how I wanted them to look, and came up with the final designs better than I could have imagined. The studio is very clean and Jim is just a super cool and friendly guy. Thanks again Jim!
