    Tick at Black Rat Tattoo is amazing. I have done multiple tattoos including a full back piece. She is very considerate of clients wants and needs as well as patient with indecisiveness. The feel is super professional as well as welcoming and accepting. The environment is very chill which decreases the stress involved with getting tattooed. Go get tattooed at Black Rat Tattoo .

    Tick is one of the best artist I’ve had the pleasure of inking my body. She did this amazing thigh piece in two settings. Then she did a a little over a half sleeve on my arm. People recognize her work even as far as west Texas! If you’ve been debating getting a tattoo by her I strongly suggest doing it!

    Tick is dope! I got my first leg tat from her and to this day it is still my favorite piece! Can’t wait to go back and get more!!
