    I had an outstanding experience at Loose Screw Tattoo starting with the friendly reception team and most especially with Autumn Richmond. This tattoo is very special to me since it represents my first born son that took my wife and I 15 years to conceive. I gave Autumn a few sample pics of what I was looking for, then I came in and she had a couple great designs to choose from. She made the entire experience go by very smoothly. She's super nice and easy to chat with and she absolutely nailed the tattoo. I couldn't be happier with my experience and I will definitely be going to Autumn with my future big tattoo projects. Thank you Autumn for doing such an outstanding job...read full review

    I had the greatest experience. Easy to book and understand pricing and procedures. Best of all, the artist I met with, Anna Wolf, not only fit my style precisely (black & grey surrealism), but was very knowledgeable about what would and would not work for my cover-up, and helped guide me in the planning process. Lo & behold, the final product exceeded expectation! I've already got my next consult scheduled

    Jason Stephan, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for the incredible work you did on my right upper arm half sleeve. I’ve been getting so many compliments… people are blown away by the detail, creativity, and overall look. What’s really amazing is how I came in with just an idea, and each time, you added your own artistic touch that took it to the next level. Before I knew it, I had a masterpiece on my arm!

    Some of my friends are even rethinking their own tattoos after seeing mine… no joke, they’re saying, “Man, I wish I had gone to your guy!”

    And now… I’m officially ready to start the next chapter, the left arm half sleeve....read full review
