MacKenzie's Tattoo Ink
“I’ve been going to Anthony for tattoos for about 15 years now, which honestly says a lot by itself. I’ve trusted him with so many different pieces over the years, and I keep coming back because not only does he do amazing work, but every appointment with him is always a great experience.
He’s currently working on my watercolor arm sleeve, and I absolutely love watching it come together piece by piece. I’ve always loved his watercolor work, and his talent with color is amazing. I can give him an idea of what I want, sometimes with way too many thoughts attached to it, and he finds a way to turn it into something that works and still feels like me. He also takes into consideration what I already have, placement, how everything is going to flow together, and what we may add later.
This sleeve also includes a memorial piece for my Dad, and that one meant more to me than Anthony could probably ever know. Losing my dad is something I will carry with me forever, and trusting someone to put something that personal and permanent on me was a big deal. Having that piece become part of this sleeve makes the entire project even more meaningful to me, and I’m grateful that Anthony was the person I trusted to do it.
Beyond the actual tattoos, Anthony makes every session a good time. There’s always conversation, music, and usually some level of chaos going on, but that's part of what makes the appointments what they are. Even after all these years, I’m comfortable walking in, sitting down, and trusting him with what we’re doing.
I think one of the biggest compliments I can give any tattoo artist is that I’ve continued choosing him for 15 years. Tattoos are permanent, and some of mine carry incredibly personal stories and memories with them. That kind of trust isn’t something I give lightly.
Anthony is incredibly talented, and I’m so happy with everything he’s done for me over the years. I’m especially excited to see where this watercolor sleeve ends up when we finally finish it. After 15 years and a lot of tattoos, I can confidently say I wouldn’t keep coming back if both the work and the experience weren’t worth it. I absolutely recommend him.”
