“Dave is an absolute genius, his lines are flawless, the way he worked my ideas plus his own to create absolute magic. I gave him some references for my first tattoo and he killed it, I let him use his imagination and artistic abilities to create his own for my second piece and couldn’t be happier. 10/10 he will be the only person working on my tattoos. Can’t wait for him to finish my full sleeve. Highly recommend.“

“I recently got my first tattoo at the age of 52. I will say the knowledge and time that Andrew took including customizing my tattoo was amazing.

He listened to me, made minor changes as asked and made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. He also has a very light hand while tattooing, so that made the experience so much better. His cost was very reasonable too. I highly reccommend Larry and his studio.“

Healing was super easy and the tattoo looks amazing!“

I was a little uncertain going in as I haven't had a piercing done in many years and didn't know what to expect, but he really put me at ease and helped me choose the right placement and look, and I'm absolutely in love with my new ear piercings. He did such an incredible job and is really great at what he does. I will definitely be back again, thanks so much Garrett!“

It’s beautiful and is exactly what I wanted. Heath thank you for making a time in my life a little easier. The day I got my tattoo was my son’s birthday and your professionalism, kindness, and all around understanding was more than I could have asked for. Heath thank you! Also thank you to the rest of the artists that were there that day. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming! I will be coming back! Hands down the best experience ever!“
