“I had an amazing experience at Velvet lotus with Mandy! I felt extremely comfortable and supported as well. I had only one other tattoo that I had an extremely painful experience with and with Mandy it was night and day. I can't imagine getting another tattoo with anyone else!“

“I got my sternum tattooed and I wanted a more hand drawn sun and stars and he gave me just that. On top of that- it was three friends and I that went in as walk ins and he managed to do all four of us ande executed each of them perfectly! He is extremly skilled and knows how to capture exactly what you want! My group of friends and I that all went and got some together- we all left extremly happy we went! Would DEFINITELY recommend!“

Specifically Khang. I’ve never had a tattoo artist with the amount of detail and precision w the creativeness he recommends. Highly recommend for everyone looking for a tattoo artist/shop around the area.“

She ended up charging me $200 less than quotes from other shops and preformed above and beyond! No matter where I live in the county I will be loyal to this shop owner for life.“
