Steven is the best! This was my first tattoo experience here in the city, and it was absolutely amazing!
I inquired on the website, and got a response within 48 hours via text message. Did the consult with Steven that way, and made an appointment! When I got there, Steven immediately greeted me, and he was so pleasant and kind! He made sure the tattoo was what I wanted and would match style wise with other tattoos on my arm, didn't want to clash.
He made sure it was perfect before I left. I will definitely be going through him when it is time for next tattoo!

I would highly recommend this parlor! Ryan Henery did my first tattoo ever and it was a great experience. I really liked the traditional Japanese style snake he drew for me and he explained how it would look different on the curve of my arm as opposed to flat on paper. The snake outline took about 4 hours to tattoo and it was mostly uncomfortable, rarely painful. He was efficient, gentle, and we were chatting so much that before I knew it the sun had set and it was all done. I’m excited to come back for coloring the snake in gray.Ryan also tattooed some dark brown ink into a mole on my face that has lightened as I have aged. That was practically painless.

Vibrates in the memory.
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.”
