This amazingly talented artist, Airu (@honeybeetattoo_airu) doesn't usually do touch-ups or add color (after so many years later). But considering we went to her to mark the year my healing began, it was extremely important to go back to her to commemorate what I was celebrating that day - the official end to my breast cancer journey. Airu is the first and only female artist that tatted me. She is kind, friendly, meticulous, and clean. When she heard about the reason for doing this, she made the exception to make it happen. What a gift! And we're forever grateful! When it fully heals, it will be even more fantastic than it was back then. A lil' more lively with a hint of color. Just like me. Thank you, Airu. #tattoo #cancersurvivor

I had the absolute most wonderful experience with Airu! This was my first tattoo and she made me…read morefeel so confident and comfortable with the process. I sent her pictures of what I wanted and she designed from those. I absolutely LOVE the way she does flowers. I feel she gave me wonderful informed consent about her process and fine line tattoos. She doubled and triple checked that I was happy with each step of the way. At the end, when I saw my tattoo, I cried happy tears, it was just perfectly what I wanted and it was so meaningful to me. Her studio is clean and comfortable, exactly what you want when getting a tattoo. Thank you, Airu!

I've followed Tina's work for a while, but when I finally decided to get a tattoo, I saw she was in…read morethe U.S. and reached out right away. She sent over a quote, I put down a $200 deposit to lock in the appointment, and that was that. It was my first tattoo, so I went in not really knowing what to expect. Tina immediately made it easy - super warm, easy to talk to, and genuinely attentive. She gave honest input, suggested tweaks where it made sense, and really took the time to understand what I wanted. We narrowed it down to a few designs, and she printed them in different sizes so we could play with placement. That part was actually really helpful! I didn't feel rushed at all. Once everything felt right, we got started. Tina walked me through what she was doing as she set up, and even told me when she was about to begin, which I appreciated. The tattoo itself was way less painful than I'd built it up to be. She's incredibly precise and has a really light touch. She also made sure I left with clear aftercare instructions and answered every question I had. Overall, such a great first experience. I'll definitely be back for another!

My last review of 2024 will be going to Paw Tattoo! :)…read more On 12.08.24, I got my tattoo done of my beloved little love, Moki. It took two sessions to complete my tattoo, but it is so very worth it to have my Moki with me forever. Booking was pretty easy as I waited for the announcement to book for December, and I requested for an appointment. I let Jia know my design idea and attached the photo references. During my appointment, we worked together to finalize the tattoo design. Then it was go time for my tattoo. This is my first and only tattoo, and I absolutely LOVE it! Jia did an incredible job at creating my Moki tattoo. The first session was good with barely any pain, but the second session had some painful moments. Paw Tattoo studio is very pretty in pink, and there's a chill vibe with the lovely music playing. I'm so very happy, and my heart is so fulfilled that I have my Moki with me forever and always. If you're looking to get your beloved furbaby tattooed on you, Jia is THE tattoo artist for that. Thank you so much, Jia, for my beautiful Moki tattoo. :)

There were a couple of times that I needed to take a small break through the session and she was more than happy to accommodate and would check in periodically to make sure that everything was okay. The entire process was wonderful through and through. I would absolutely go to Jia again for another tattoo.
