Safe Haven Tattoo

"The reason I’m leaving 2 stars is because of Kayla S. The apprentice. She was an absolute angel and I would’ve loved to work with her but unfortunately that didn’t happen. Kayla, the owner on the other hand was the farthest thing from welcoming. Ironic that her shop is called “Safe Haven”. I had seen their flyer about their Friday the 13th special and really enjoyed their flash list. As this is my first tattoo, I stopped in the day prior for further information, such as placement and to see the designs in person. Kayla, the owner, was very dismissive, couldn’t answer any of my questions and said to keep looking online. On the actual day, I came in, listed my name on the list and waited. I left and returned & my name still has yet to be called & Kayla claimed that I had missed my spot when it was obvious that the order had yet to have reached me. Many women had left and returned so I didn’t understand what the issue was. Kayla S apologized and said she was willing to work something out for me but at that point I didn’t feel comfortable or welcomed by the owner. I wouldn’t recommend. Terrible experience."

"I’ve been going to Kayla S (the piercer and tattoo apprentice) for years now, and am never disappointed! Safe haven feels like a safe haven, period. The vibes are immaculate, and the work they do is always phenomenal and keeps me coming back! this is my forever shop, I can’t recommend enough!"

"Kayla is amazing. She finished a tattoo started by another artist and made it more amazing than I thought it would ever be. She also did additional work on my sleeve going back in May to finish out my sleeve. Kayla has great customer service and is very fair. The pictures I took don’t do them justice !"

"I’ve had Kayla do several tattoos for me over the years, and hands down my favorite artist, always responds to messages or requests for tattoo work in a timely manor, and makes sure I get an appointment booked that works for both my schedule and hers. and does amazing work, there was even a time when I wanted to do some silly tattoos on my hands and she took the time to explain that with my line of work and the location of the tattoo that’s wouldn’t last so we decided to put them elsewhere, she could have just taken my money and let me have my tattoos, but she made sure I knew exactly what I was getting into and how I wouldn’t be happy in the end. She is officially the only person I will ever let tattoo me again!"

"Kayla turned what ever I had going on in my head into a real life image on my arm. She did amazing work and it’s exactly what I wanted. She’s been nothing but kind and respectful. She even did a little touch-up on a tattoo I have on my fingers that she didn’t even originally do! I 10/10 would recommend going to her to get any work done!"
