Many clients have had positive experiences, including first-timers, and recommend planning ahead when seeking an appointment at this popular and highly-recommended studio.
Keepsake was recommended to me a couple years ago when I was on the hunt to create/finish a sleeve. I emailed Russ and I’m now hard pressed to want tattoos from anyone else. He is an amazing artist, efficient in his work and it’s always appreciated that he checks on you during the session.
Russ has done all of the work in the included pictures except for the lilies at the top, but he did rework them. The honey bee and orchids are the most recent addition. Now I just need to figure out what I want for the other arm.
The shop is clean and the eclectic decor always gives something to look at.
I met one of the artists (Aaron) to discuss getting my first tattoo. Very easy to talk to. Looking forward to my appointment in a couple of weeks. No cost for talking with the artist.
Update:I went back after a couple of weeks and got my first tattoo along with my fiance. Aaron made us both feel very comfortable and relaxed about the process. The shop is clean and orderly with great decor. Everything turned out great. We supplied the art, and Aaron did a fantastic job with the puffins.
Wonderful experience here. Fun and clean tattoo parlor. Our tattooist, Aaron, was professional, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. We'll go back for another tattoo with Aaron.
