Black Candle Tattoo Co. 2062 West South Airport Road, Traverse City, MI 49684

"This was my first tattoo and an experience shared with my son to honor someone dear to us that we lost. Leif made me feel comfortable right from the start. His attention to detail is amazing and his artwork is beautiful, I absolutely love it. He is extremely professional, easy to talk to and his space very comfortable and inviting. I would highly recommend Leif."

"WOW!!! Leif is not only a great person, he's an incredible artist!!! I was blown away today by the design he created for me and then to see it perfectly transferred to my skin was unreal. You will not be disappointed!!! He runs a super clean shop and is absolutely meticulous about safety protocols. I can't imagine coming back to TC without a stop to get another tattoo from Leif. Thank you!!!"

"Leif is so kind & professional. Not only did he give me my favorite ink but it was also the best & most comfortable experience I’ve had while getting tatted. It is so clear how much he loves and cares about the art he creates, and being it’s just his studio makes it feel that much more personal. I live in the yoop now but would drive down anytime to get poked again."

"Leif was amazing when I first meet him. Professional and fun guy to talk to. He is customer focused, detailed oriented, and just makes you feel comfortable. This was my first time getting a tattoo from him and will not be the last time. I will recommend him to anyone."

"I had the best experience with Leif and Black Candle Tattoo. Leif was great to work with and he turned my vision into a beautiful work of art. I will absolutely be back and recommend him to others!"
