I've been to Mean Street Tattoos on numerous occasions, beginning more than a decade ago. Recently I had a nose (nostril) piercing and an ear (flat) re-piercing. This weekend I had the pleasure of being tattooed by Alina, who gave me some beautiful red butterflies. ♥️?
The shop is cozy and very clean and everyone working in the shop is extremely personable. I highly recommend!!
