    Kris was great! He was welcoming and fun to talk to while doing my tattoo, which made the experience even better. He took my inspiration photo and made it his own. I love my tattoo, and I plan on coming back with my mom to get another one soon! Highly recommend! I did a walk in and was welcomed immediately. I had a new tattoo within an hour or so.

    I had a great experience with Kris! He’s super attentive and always checks in to make sure you’re doing okay. He made sure I was comfortable the whole time and offered breaks and water whenever I needed it. It really made the process so much easier. I’ll definitely be back! Thanks again Kris!! 🤩
