I received my first tattoo ever from Percy yesterday and it was a great experience! Communication prior to the appointment was prompt and informative, the atmosphere of the shop was very welcoming and low-stress, and all of my questions were answered before I committed to anything. Percy was also willing to work with me on adjustments to the design, color, and placement before we started to make sure I was totally comfortable. 10/10 and I’m extremely happy with the result!
Paola helped us refine our design and gave us an amazing experience. For me this was tat one but for my wife it was tat two. If I ever got another tattoo, it’d be with Paola.
Amazing studio! Everyone there was so friendly! Paisley did my tattoo, and it was my first tattoo ever, she walked me through everything and explained the process. I felt very comfortable in the studio and with Paisley, so it made the process so much easier and calm! I highly recommend this tattoo parlor for anyone, especially first tattoos!
