I would recommend Tsunami any day of the week. The atmosphere is top-notch and incredibly chill. I met Tim back in 2017 and started my Mandala sleeve—we completed two sessions before life took over. I kept that arm untouched all these years, knowing I wanted Tim to be the one to finish it.
Once life settled down, I found my way back to Tsunami last year and added another piece to the sleeve. I absolutely love his work, and beyond his talent, he’s just an amazing human being.
I’ve been coming here for 12 years and highly, highly recommend! They offer a VIP experience with custom pieces and great energy. Tim cares about the work he does and it’s always an amazing experience.
Had a design in my head I was set out to bring to life and found that Tim had that expertise I was looking for. After checking out the vibe of the place and meeting with Tim the first time; I was pretty psyched experience. He got me set up fairly quick in the AM, and the piece he came up with fit my expectations perfectly! Super chill guy and has killer music taste. Watch out though he'll make you laugh during the session! (not intentionally, of course, he's just funny as hell). The shop might be tucked away, but trust me I 💯 recommend.
