A few weeks ago I had an amazing experience with Chris at Torchlight Tattoo! From the moment I walked in, he made me feel comfortable and listened carefully to my ideas. His attention to detail and artistry is incredible, and the final tattoo exceeded my expectations. Chris is not only talented but also super professional and patient, answering all my questions and making sure I was happy throughout the entire process. The shop has a great vibe too—clean, welcoming, and relaxing. Highly recommend Chris if you're looking for a skilled and friendly artist!
For a first-timer this couldn’t have been a more relaxing and safe experience! Chris worked with us for over a year on a set of family tattoos and was available for questions or reschedules endlessly as we tried to get 4 tattoos done on 4 different people. The results speak for themselves. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Chris is a great artist and a great person. you will not find a better tattoo experience anywhere. I have extensive tattoos from Torchlight and look forward to many more.
