Just got my first tattoo from Jessica and it couldn't be more perfect. I'll let the pictures tell most of the story, but the attention to detail is unbelievable. It almost looks like the actual print was scanned and screen printed onto my arm. If you're thinking about getting some work done, I wouldn't hesitate to choose Jessica as your artist. Honestly, all of the artists there had some great examples in their sample books, and I went with Jessica based on some paw prints she had done and posted to social media, but you probably can't go wrong with anyone there. The studio itself was clean and the rooms were private (or at least mine was, as we were the only ones in there). I plan on doing some more in the future, and I already know exactly who I'm going with then. Thanks again Jessica! read more

This was a fine-line/handwriting tattoo that included my father's writing.I searched for 2 years to find the right artist to bring my idea for a tattoo to life. Maryna was extremely professional, personable, talented, and took my basic idea for a tattoo and brought it to a level of detail and beauty I never imagined possible. I am beyond happy with my tattoo and how great it turned out.From the moment you walk in you can tell that the artists and shop owners care about the facility and take great pride in the level of cleanliness they maintain in the facility. read more

Maryna did a great job on my fine line tattoo! Will be going back for sure. She took her time working with me to get exactly what I wanted.

Jessica is the best! Through my tears, I explained the meaning behind my tattoo design and she got it! She understood this was my first and only. Created as a spawn off of the blue heart movement (for me the blue heart represents loyalty, trust, and friendship- you are safe with me), I added a squiggly line (the road ahead is not going to be easy) and empty smaller heart (my daughter's rights, I hope to fill in when her rights are permanently restored). Jessica knew when to stop and we will touch it up in a few weeks so as not to overwork the area. Then my daughter took a heart I drew and one from her father and had them tattooed on her wrist. They are perfect and Jessica guided her to just the right size. The shop is super clean and relaxing - I felt super comfortable. I'm thinking about getting my eyebrows done by their facial artist. Would highly recommend this shop! read more

Jessica did a great job on my tattoo. The final product was better than what I wanted. She was very professional and easy to talk to and did an efficient and high quality tattoo. I love the final product!! read more

I had a great experience with Jessica at Golden Sparrow. The shop is welcoming, clean, and has a cool feel. Each artist has their own room which is really nice for privacy. Jessica helped me draw some additions to a current tattoo I already had and it's now perfect, just how I wanted it. She also gave me another fine line tattoo with some script. Both are beautiful. She has a super fine line, very detailed, and her touch is gentle. Highly recommend her and will be back to see her. read more

Tom Hill is by far the best piercer I've ever met. His professionalism is unmatched, and it's clear he truly cares about his clients. He always takes the time to give helpful advice and is extremely knowledgeable. I trust him completely and will only go to him for the rest of my life! I recently went in to have a back dermal removed that was already irritated and hurting. I told him I was a little nervous, and he talked me through everything while keeping me distracted. Honestly, this experience was completely PAIN FREE! 0/10 pain! No joke, my response afterward was, 'Oh, that wasn't even bad,' said with a full smile. Tom made a stressful and painful situation into something easy and positive! read more

Tom is very skilled, efficient, and knowledgeable about the craft of piercing! He made quick work of my second nostril piercing. He was super friendly.

When I got my nipples pierced, Tom Hill made it a very comfortable and safe environment. I thought it was going to hurt a lot, but it barely hurt and he walked me through everything.

Super talented artists (I saw Maryna) and extremely cleanly facility. I filled out the form online to be matched with an artist and was matched with Maryna who was great to work with in advance. She took my wants to heart and came up with a beautiful design. She took her time and made sure the piece was perfect too. I couldn not be more pleased! read more

Maryna made getting my first tattoo a wonderful experience! Firstly, my sister, daughter, niece and myself all wanted to honor my late mother by getting various tattoos of her doodles. Requesting multiple examples ahead of time, Maryna went above and beyond to make sure the tattoos would be identical to my mom's art and handwriting (her line work is amazing). Secondly, she allowed all four of us to be present as each of us received our tattoos- making it a truly memorable family experience. Lastly, it's been almost two weeks and my mom's "You are my sunshine" tattoo is healing great and I like it more and more as each day passes. Thank you, Maryna! read more

Jessica did a tattoo of the Salem Witch House (Massachusetts) for me. I can't tell you how many compliments I've gotten on it. This particular tattoo is an easy one to mess up and she got it spot on. I've been told even better than some people from that area! Jessica is a professional artist who does amazing work and easy to work with. I actually found her from a google search because she had an easy form of contact (texting). I'm old and I'm not creating an instagram account just to reach out to someone. Haha (but really, some artists' only form of contact is that). I'm brainstorming ideas for my next one as I'll definitely be back. read more
