Went in as a Walk-in. Had what I wanted in a photo but Jose was nice enough to explain the pro’s and con’s of my idea. Super super helpful . So funny too!!! And I just loved his attention to detail. I would for sure come back to Jose for more work.

Andrea

First tattoo and piercing establishment I didn’t feel overwhelmed or intimidated by. All 3 of my teens got piercings, the piercer was very friendly and talkative with all of us. I even decided to get a small tattoo last minute while there. Great experience.

Ellery

I got a tattoo here from Mike Mcwhorter, and it's amazing. He's super easy to work with and talk too. The tattoo healed up wonderfully. I'd 100% come back again to him for another tattoo. The shop was very clean and nice, and the other tattooers there were very nice in passing. Definitely would recommend Mike if you want a beautifully done peice.
