An overall incredible experience. Zach is such a professional. He listened well and then confidently took the lead from there. He exceeded expectations and I'm so happy with the result. Highly recommend this shop and it's so worth travelling for.

Extremely satisfied. New to tattoos and Cory listened to what I wanted, helped with suggestions, and even showed me mock ups of possible future tattoos. Quality of work is great, friendly folks, highly recommend!
