Josh has done two of my tattoos and I can't wait to have him do more. The line work on both is so sharp and precise. One of the two tattoos is the initials of my father who passed in March. Definitely my most sentimental and important tattoo and I wouldn't trust anyone other than Josh with it, and I'm glad I did. He fit it perfectly into an odd space and the lines are sharp and bold and perfect. Can't recommend him enough.
My wife got two tattoos done by Josh and the experience was awesome! You can tell his 18 years of experience really shows. He’s super chill, nice, and takes his time with you. The shop was great too! friendly people, clean space, and lots of cool art. We’ll definitely be going back to him for all our tattoos!
Came for a car show, and left with matching tattoos and a new piercing! The staff was amazing, the environment was welcoming and energetic. We found a new home shop for our family❤️
