Jo responded quickly to my inquiry, which I appreciated, and he was very understanding and accommodating when I needed to reschedule my appointment. When I arrived, I had to check in with Jo since there wasn't a visible sign, as the studio is a private space located through a back entrance. Once inside, though, the environment was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, which immediately put me at ease. Jo was very attentive and took the time to make sure the size and placement of the tattoo were exactly how I wanted them. During the session, we had a great conversation that made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. Overall, I had a great experience and would highly recommend Jo. You can truly tell he's passionate about his work, and it shows in both his professionalism and the quality of the tattoo.

I'd definitely recommend this studio and am already planning on getting other tattoos here.

I had a few tattoos done by Davis and I appreciate his attention to detail and commitment to delivering exactly what I wanted each and every time.

I highly recommend Davis, his skills and attention to detail have consistently produced outstanding results. I am always looking forward to my next session with him.

I have received three tattoos at this location, all from different artists. One from an artist who…read morewas visiting from Vancouver, another from Louise, and my third from Claire. Every time I come here, I am impressed with how immaculately clean it is, how kind the staff is, and how beautiful all my tattoos are! It's so awesome to have a local shop with rotating and stationary artists because you can just choose from all their work! All that variety, under one roof! Each artist has their own spot/work area, and its all adorably decorated with stickers or other items that bring out the personality of the artist. There's even a ramen machine, and when I sat for a 3.5-4 hour tattoo, I got hungry, and my artist prepared me a Shin Ramyun from the machine. It was awesome. The bathroom is also really nice, big and clean with funny decor and a fancy toilet and its, again, always very clean. They have a photo area too where you typically take pics after your piece is completed. Highly recommend checking out their instagram and finding an artist you like. They're always doing flash deals and they even fundraise locally! How awesome is that? And keep an eye out on their socials for visiting artists!

I'm a picky and careful person so it took me about 2 years of decision making to finally pull the trigger. Louise is an amazing artist and walked me through the process. I appreciated the extra effort she put into designing my tattoo and making sure it would be something I like. She took my concept and really made it better. I'm glad I chose to go with her advice when she recommended I go for a cutesy style vs pixel art style for my tattoo. She was right. I do like it a lot better. I was worried I'd have regrets after my first tattoo but I am absolutely in love with it! It brings me joy every time I look at it. Her work is amazing. The lines are so crisp and the shading and colors are well done. Throughout the process, Louise made sure I was comfortable. She did a great job at walking me through aftercare. I tried my best to follow her instructions as closely as possible and I'd say my tattoo healed nicely. Overall, Louise left me with a really positive first experience. She made me realize getting tattoos isn't so scary after all. I'll be back for more once I spend a long long time deciding what I want next. Thanks Louise! :)

Erica Rose: Professional, Talented, AMAZING! I have had…read moreseveral art pieces conducted by Erica Rose. She is the best tattoo artist I have ever worked with. Her professionalism and personality are astounding. She is wise beyond her years and truly a perfectionist with her skills. I am grateful for every session I have booked with this young woman who is so talented, I am grateful to be her client. I will be back for more amazing art work! PS. She would NEVER yell at a client as stated above by "Carl" who must be an absolute creep, it would take something extreme for Erica to "yell" at a client. I have known this young artist for years, have moved shops with her and that? Is just a flat out lie.

Erica: Talented. Catty…read more I came for a Bible verse tattoo and a secondary tattoo I wasn't set on. After some back-and-forth, she refused to do my Bible verse tattoo and encourage me to do my secondary tattoo which I chose to be a sword. She refused to do my lettering because she said it was too small, but as you can see by the tattoo in my arm, she can easily draw small lettering. So that was odd. Then, when it came to the placement of the tattoo, because of the location on my shoulder, the tattoo was not straight. She actually yelled at me because I wasn't satisfied when the stencil went on my arm. The other guy stepped in and he was able to correct the issue by using a ruler and measuring the distance from my existing tattoo to get the evenly spaced apart tattoos. This was odd. Once the placement was good to go, the tattoo experience was good. Due to the customer service skills of the other guy in the shop, I asked Erika to give me his info so I can have him do my Bible verse tattoo. I sent him a message on Instagram, but he ignored me and hasn't responded. I would not recommend the shop. A tattoo is a permanent piece of art on your body, for the most part. If someone yells at you because you're not happy with the tattoo or the placement of it, it is simply bad customer service. I paid her above asking, a good tip and also paid her $100 because I missed a previous appointment. Time is valuable. I anticipate Erica will grow her patience and customer service skills. She will be the complete package when this happens. But if all you care about is an extremely talented artist and tattoo professional, then Erika is your person.

Noli is absolutely great! He was great at communicating and I was able to come in for multiple…read moreconsultations to make sure the design was perfect before scheduling my appointment. I did come in with my own design but resizing and placement was my main concern. I did one consultation just to talk about the original design and how to modify it to be the size I wanted it to be. The second consultation was for placement and refining the size. I really liked that I was able to get the stencil placed on me before "signing off" on the design. Because my schedule was very flexible and I live not too far from the shop, scheduling was straight forward. We worked out a day and time that worked best for both of us and I paid a deposit to hold the date. I ended up coming to my appointment 20 minutes early and Noli was already ready to go. This wasn't my first tattooing experience so I knew what to expect. The final product turned out better than I expected. Noli added more depth to my tattoo that made it look like an artist took a paintbrush to my hip.The level of detail in the amount of time (2.5hr) was amazing; I'm impressed. The only reason why I docked a star is that, during the consultation process, there were a few times where we would schedule a time and then I would get a last minute rescheduling request. Because I live close, it wasn't too much of nuisance but it was a little frustrating.
