    Stopped in for a walk-in to get a tattoo on my finger, and the guys were super welcoming! They set me up with an artist immediately. Jay was a consummate professional with a clean booth, great attention to sanitary procedures, and a laid-back, friendly attitude. He helped me get exactly what I wanted done despite the awkward placement and small details. He even recommended local eats! I loved this place so much that I had to go back to buy one of their t-shirts. 10/10!!!

    I went and got weighting on my four arm and had Dana she didn’t talk much and was really snippy. When she started she didn’t tell me that she was begging didn’t talk the whole time tattooing. Never asked if I was doing ok or anything after I mentioned I was in some pain to the person that was with me. If you like someone with a super heavy handed she’s the one to go to her work was good but if you want a silent appointment and good work she’s the one. Just not something I didn’t like Shop was really clean other artists was super nice.

    Was in town for work and decided to pop in. Skyer was awesome! Very polite and patient while I figured out what I wanted. I was a walk in and was in and out in about an hour with a small tattoo. If I am back in town I would definitely return! Thanks for my little ghost 👻
