    If you are looking for a shop where you can get a tattoo incredibly fast, want to be treated like a number, and don't care about getting personal attention, this is the place for you.

    You walk in, and within 5 minutes, you're in the chair. My tattoo artist worked incredibly rough on my skin. I have multiple tattoos, but this was genuinely painful. It felt like they just wanted me gone as quickly as possible to move on to the next person.

    If you want a beautiful, carefully done tattoo, look for another shop. This place is pure assembly-line work.

    I chose this place because my daughter has gotten work done here by Ali and it was very nice and detailed. I was real nervous as this was my 1st tattoo. Upon meeting Ali she was very nice and calm which made me feel at ease. I showed her my piece and she quickly came back with 3 sizes to choose from. While getting it done we chatted about life and it was over. It came out perfect and as expected. 10/10.. Thank you.

    What a great place!
    Got engaged in April 2024, we were on a sisters trip this time and it just felt like the perfect tattoo!
    I didn’t get my artists name but he was very sweet, incredibly steady hands and he was willing to pivot on my design at the last second.

    I really enjoyed the experience and LOVE my tattoo!

    I came here a few times for little flash tattoos and every time has been so great and met with kind people. Ali did my very first tattoo and a lotus tattoo on my arm and they both came out beautiful. The piercers and tattoo artists here are professionals and keep a clean environment. This is definitely my go to tattoo place as it’s never disappointed.

    What a great place to get my first nose piercing! The appointment process was easy. CeCe was AWESOME and would recommend her to everyone interested in piercings. Barely knew it happened! The shop was clean and everyone was HAPPY!

    literally the best piercing experience ever 🫶 the girl at the front desk was so sweet and welcoming.She explained everything really clearly and just had such good energy fr. the whole team was super friendly and made me feel safe and comfortable the whole time.

    my piercer Remi was amazing🥰 super clean, precise, and quick.You can tell he really knows what he’s doing. he made sure everything was perfectly placed and explained every step. i’m obsessed with how my piercing turned out! definitely recommend this studio 100%, they deserve all the love 🤍
