This shop is great but I would advise not getting tattooed by Jaxen Schaff unless he has done the work before you pay him and you know what you are meant to be paying. He offered me a deal,(this many hours for this much) and then swindled me out of half the money I had sent him. Considering that we had mutual friends I wasn't worried about pre-sending money but I will certainly never do that again.

Reviews
Ezzy is honestly the best artist that I have worked with. She absolutely made sure to take the concept, asked important questions and brought her amazing style to create the perfect piece! She absolutely took the time to take care ensuring I had a great experience. I highly recommend her for your next tattoo and the shop is also incredible! Check them out!
Went for the Friday the 13th weekend (March 2026) - Justin was quick and did a great job! The location is lovely, the team seems amazing, and I enjoyed my experience. Many thanks to the Niva Expansion Team!
