    Messaged Emily about my tattoo design over text and she was able in to squeeze me into her schedule and deliver with an awesome tattoo. I got a stencil/pic from a demon encyclopedia and she was able to deliver perfectly. Exceptional and friendly service, now I recommend Emily to all my friends who are looking for a tattoo!

    Best experience ever. Our artist Emily really took their time to make sure the placement was perfect. Super Clean lines and very reasonable prices! I’m already planning my next piece…

    Charlie has a nice light hard. Tattoos are gorgeous. I have many from him over the years.

    He’s also a painter, an incredible artist.

    I highly recommend.
