    Stopped in for the Valentine’s Day special we found online. Shop was packed with people, but wait time was only 30 minutes or so. Tattoo artist was great, and the Valentine’s Day 2 for $90 was a great opportunity to check out the shop. I’ll definitely return for my next.

    Eric did so good with my tattoos! You can tell he’s been doing this for a long time with how he made sure to get everything right. He helped me with my placement and the best placements with easy healing. Would 100% come back to see him again.
