    This was my second time doing a back-to-back 2 day session with Jesse Smith. He's talent is only outshined by his humanity. You can just tell hes a great person to his core. Its truly an honor be a customer of his and to get to know him through his artistry and conversation over our sessions has been a privilege. He has a a great style and light touch especially over the sensitive areas. You can tell hes a veterans by the way he moves light and quick in these areas and still commited to the details. In love with my tattoo!! Thanks Jesse

    Great experience! Staff members and artist were super professional. They even offered me a free in person consultation with the artist to talk about the tattoo ideas. My tattoo artist was Ash, she was always available and reply fast to emails days prior to the scheduled day. On the day of the tattoo Ash was very attentive and polite, always caring for me to have the best experience and making sure that I was pleased with the design, which was exactly what I wanted. She is a very talented artist and I’m definitely planning to come back for more tattoos.

    Wonderful tattoo experience. From start to finish, everything was professional, clean, and welcoming. Micki is immensely talented. The attention to detail and steady hand were seriously impressive. 10/10!
