"Amanda did such a good job piercing my dahlias I love them so nice. She also did a great job of explaining the after care to me too so I can have a successful healed piercing I def will be coming back for more!"

"I highly recommend going here. Mario was my artistic and he did an amazing job on my tattooed. He fixed one of mine from a previous artist at another shop and did a great job adjusting it! He also gave me a new piece that I’m absolutely in love with. He’s professional, clean and listens to everything you want to do. Definitely go see him"

"I’ve gone with this particular artist several times already for various tattoos, they each turned out exactly how I wanted them in fact he even puts his own personal touch in them and makes them better than what I show him. Joseph Savage did my first large piece on my stomach and then a few on my arms, neck and lately my thigh. I highly recommend him for first timers, large tattoos and tattoos with lots of detail. Amazing artist with a light hand."

"Had a session to do a few tattoos of my two dog portraits and had a quote already set for them. These were memorial tattoos. I did mention “two dogs” multiple times during the consult with multiple messages, pictures, and examples to get both done on my ankles. When I got there the artist —Joseph —had drawn up only one of the dogs. I did go over the proof of the messages that said two but he said “I thought you only meant one.” The tattoo was double the price even though it wasn’t my mistake. I was nice about it and waited patiently for him to draw the second one. Unfortunately the end result of the tattoos were super rushed and did not look good at all. The quality wasn’t even worth the original quoted price. Will post photos for reference. I did try to bring up that I felt cheated for being overcharged (from their mistake) and the quality of the work, but Joseph mentioned that they “look good” and that one part where the tattoo cuts off abruptly (it looks like a smudge of ink) is the collar. I get that every artist is different but it was honestly a horrible experience just to have him tell me it’s fine. You should at least try a little to make the customer happy. What was meant to be a memorable experience ended up feeling more like a mistake. So much so I had to go elsewhere to have them fix it and turn it into something I can actually be proud to show."

"Great great great staff! Great artist. Knew exactly what I wanted. She was 2 steps a head of me and even lined it up with my other back tattoo, WHICH IS WHAT I WANTED but forgot to ask. The fact she just made that happen, THANK YOU! She was able to squeeze me in, was done quickly, and perfectly. Very clean shop as well."
