Lila is an incredible tattoo artist and could very easily be the best portrait tattoo artist in Vermont. I came to her with a broad idea for an upper sleeve to commemorate a Curse of Strahd D&D campaign. She ran with it and created a tattoo that best leveraged her expertise and incorporated the key elements of what I wanted. I'd recommend Lila to anyone who understands that skin as a medium is challenging and coming in with a rigid idea of what you want might not result in the best tattoo long term. Trust Lila, she knows what she's doing.
P.S. Her studio gives off early 20th century mad scientist vibes and might be terrifying for minors
Lila is a phenomenal artist who is quick to include you into her schedule, and her speed and attention to detail is second to none. Not to mention, a super cool person to spend a long tattoo session with. Would highly recommend.
Both Lila and her work are amazing. I have multiple tattoos done by Lila, and everywhere I go, they get complimented. I have nothing bad to say about Lila or her work. My tattoos have healed beautifully. You can tell her passion for her work, as she puts in an extreme amount of effort into her clients, advertising, and to make sure people love what they are getting.
