    Black Atlas is an incredible studio with a clean, welcoming environment and truly talented artists. I highly recommend Tito—he’s been working on my sleeve and his work is phenomenal.

It makes the whole process so much easier and more comfortable. This is definitely the only place I want to go for tattoos. 10/10!

    Met Molly at the tattoo convention a few weeks ago and saw a piece of that I really wanted. I didn’t have time then but went in on Monday and she absolutely exceeded my expectations with these out of focus mushrooms! Everyone at the shop is so friendly and extremely talented artists! 10/10 recommend shop to all my friends and family! Will be back!
