    I saw Tess for my tattoo and she was incredible the whole way through! Really applied herself to understand my vision and worked tirelessly to get it exactly how I wanted it. The shop is super comfy and I love the vibe! Tess was incredible during our 8 hour session, super friendly, absolutely hilarious and always attentive to anything I may have needed. She knows her stuff!! Best artist I’ve ever worked with!! Not to mention the tattoo itself is PERFECT! Mahalo piha!!

    I got a nose piercing by Tristan. He was very nice, and before my piercing he walked me through everything I needed to know, and answered all my questions. While I was getting my nose pierced he was talking to me calmly and helping me through it. I highly recommend him for any piercings.
