I booked a time for one of the last days with Vayda about two months before my trip. Communication was always easy and she was reassuring that we would come up with something to memorialize my special pup that had recently passed. Once I was on the island, we met up for a consult to touch base and finalize some details. Vayda was super nice, great steady hand, and quick as well! She even spent time sharing a homemade oatmeal soap recipe to help with the irritation from the soap I had been using. She truly went above and beyond for me and I can't be more thankful. I obviously highly recommend Rise Above Ink. The owner, Shiloh and his daughter both were just as pleasant. This place is gold, come see for yourself!
