I got a tattoo from Paul today. Not only did he do a fantastic job, but I really enjoyed talking to him. The studio has a very cool vibe and the staff was great. Booking an appointment on their website could not have been easier. I had no idea that people travel in from all over the world to get work done at Name Brand studio and now I see why. I highly recommend!

These have been my guys for the last 5 years or so, Jeff Zuck covered up my lame wolf with a badass one. John macintyre just finished up my sleeve today. Great place, impeccable work, great energy all around. If you want traditional American or japanese, this is the place to go. 10/10
