    Ash and Bill are legends. My wife and I have been getting tattoos from them as often as possible for years. Most recently we made the drive from Charleston SC to get fresh ink from ash. Can't recommend highly enough

    Amazing shop, great artists. Got my first tattoo here 3 weeks ago … then a second one today (Bill Smiles I’m in love with them both). Still bloody or I’d show you. Can’t recommend highly enough go there.

    Came here with an idea and knowing hardly anything about tattoos. The Artist Ash was willing to see me and made the entire process comfortable and was incredibly patient with me since this was my first tattoo. They answered every question, and helped my idea come to life. This place truly cares about its customers and you can tell they love what they do. Absolutely enjoyed my experience and will be getting more.

    I went there for my first tattoo just 2 weeks ago. I cant wait to go back. The waiting room is super cool and laid back. I chose Galen on the recommendation of a friend. He was very cool and did an amazing job.

    Recently finished a piece with Ash in the shop and it was a fantastic experience. The whole shop feels very welcoming and comfortable. Ash was great to work with and I’m really excited to get more pieces done in the future. I would highly recommend checking out the shop and all the artists in this space.

    This was our first tattoo, on a whim, on a short vacation and from START to FINISH it has been nothing but perfect! Ash provided the most stellar, organic experience possible!

    Becka did an absolutely amazing job with my tattoo. I wanted a starfish tattoo as a memorial for a friend of mine. She took my ideas and made something more beautiful than I could have imagined. Her color work is truly something special. I adore this tattoo and get compliments on it all the time. Thank you Becka!

    Kate Graves did a Ludo (Labrynth) tattoo on me. I couldn’t be more pleased with her work. Such a friendly and enthusiastic personality. I’m very picky when it comes to choosing an artist, and when I say I research; I RESEARCH. Kate exceeded my expectations. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    I cannot say enough good things about our experience at this tattoo shop! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The shop itself is beautifully decorated—clean, organized, and full of personality. It’s clear that a lot of care and pride goes into maintaining such a professional yet cozy space.

    We had the pleasure of getting tattooed by Kate Graves, and we were blown away by her talent. Not only is Kate incredibly kind and easy to talk to, but her light touch and attention to detail are seriously impressive. She didn’t go too deep, which made the healing process smooth and nearly painless—and our tattoos turned out absolutely stunning!

    Her line work is crisp, her shading is flawless, and every part of the design was done with expert precision. We are so happy with how everything turned out and couldn’t have asked for a better artist. If you’re looking for someone with real skill and a gentle hand in a super friendly and clean environment, Kate is 100% the one to go to. Highly, highly recommend!

    One of my absolute favorite places. Every single staff member is incredible - even though I work primarily with one artist (BB June; I could not love her more) - the rest of the crew is always quick to assist, welcome, and make sure everyone’s comfortable. The attention to detail, the genuine care, and the level of service is truly above and beyond. Plus the aesthetic/atmosphere is one of a kind. I’ve been coming here for 8 years or so and don’t plan on stopping until I run out of room! Lol.
