I finally pulled the trigger on my large cover up and full sleeve, I’ve seen all the work coming out of this shop for the past 5 years and longed to be a customer. I cannot believe the work from all the artists, they are all amazing talents and amazing people, I’ve been lucky enough to be working with Val on this project and could not be happier! Almost 24 hrs chair time and all my visions are coming true in real time! True professionals and super clean shop that really focuses more on your health then any other shop I’ve been too! Customer for life.
