    I found Imani on Instagram back in 2018, while looking for artists that specialized in fine line, black skin, and adding color to black skin. I loved working with her so much and her aptitude and knowledge of black skin, tradition, and appreciation, that I dedicated my entire body to her, other than the original leg work I was seeking to have done. I have moved locations/states and been through many life changes, but what has remained consistent and even improved drastically is Imani’s work and speed. I couldn’t be happier dedicating my skin to this amazing and talented woman. I’m honored to showcase her artwork and my dream on my skin. I can not wait for another...read full review

    This was my first time tattoo so I don't have too much experience but for my first time it was an amazing experience and the art was beautiful. Also, I deal with a lot of anxiety and Imani was able to calm me and make me feel comfortable. I had some abstract ideas and Imani came up with a perfect piece of art exactly what I imagined.

I really understand what the power of tattoos are and it's a really cool piece of art too.
