    When I tell you Taylor is the best, I mean the best! As somebody who has had a handful of artists - the girls at Cape Fear DO THE THING.
    But, Taylor has a very special place in my heart. She is kind, compassionate and really good at what she does. She is a gem in the tattoo world.

    I have been going to Taylor for over a year, she did my very first tattoo and will probably do every tattoo I ever get. She is the absolute best!!! If you want a tattoo artist who prioritizes comfort, kindness, and all around an amazing experience start to finish - plus amazing art work - go see my girl! I travel over 2 hours to her every time I go and it’s worth every single minute. I could not be more happy with every piece she’s ever done and I will forever be happy to be her walking canvas🫶🏼

    I have gotten several tattoos from Taylor at Cape Fear and they are phenomenal! I was looking for my tattoo spot after moving to the area a couple years ago and it’s safe to say I know where I’ll continue to go! Clean and kind space!
