    The place itself has a nice vibe with all of the art on the walls (for sale too!). I came in to ask questions and Sarah was very friendly. I then spoke with Jose to discuss the tattoo I was looking for and he too was great to work with. I was lucky enough to get a same day appt and the tattoo looks great. Im very happy with it and would highly recommend this place over others I have been to in the area.

    I came here about 10 years ago but decided to follow Antonio but after too many flake outs, I gave up and now I am back here again. Anyways amazing service, great prices, great tattoo! Sarah & Manny are wonderful. Sarah's art is amazing! So will be coming back here now for more tattoos.

    The artists at this shop are not only INSANELY talented, but they're incredibly kind. The environment is warm and welcoming, and the work done by Manny was so much more amazing than I ever even imagined. Thank you both for bringing my vision to life.
