    As somebody that was nervous about getting a first time tattoo, He was really professional. I walked in. He greeted me set up my artwork And it matched exactly what I gave him. He was super nice.

I’ll definitely be back for more in the future even touch up the one I have now with adding a few things but definitely if you’re gonna get a first time tattoo and you’re nervous, he will joke with you and laugh with you. I mean it’s not scary like they make it out to be on TV or on TikTok. This is somebody that’s really professional and he made my first ever tattoo experience...read full review

    I was so impressed with the shop, very very clean and professional. Rick Smith is top notch and listened to what I wanted. He and A.J. are excellent to work with and will get you the beautiful artwork you deserve!

    I flew in from Florida to get my tattoo done by AJ. He listened to my husband's version of the Puerto Rico Coqui and did a fantastic job on our matching tattoos. This made our love for each other eternal. The color matched our requests. AJ also added a hibiscus flower to my husband's work of art, highlighting his passion for my culture. Such a precious moment for us.
