Although sometimes he has cancellations and you can get it. Before getting the tat, my husband asked around for weeks. We had so many recommendations for Joe that we knew this was the GUY for HIM.

Joe's office is a master piece of his work and a very clean an well kept space. Hubby LOVES his tattoo and is completely satisfied.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Not only did I visit Tampa on a girls trip with…read morethe purpose of a great time but doing some searching I came across this tattoo shop and sent a message to Cesar on Instagram. Not only was he informative, personable and helpful but he helped me to figure out EXACTLY what I wanted. He answered every single question I had, showed me as many options as I wanted to see and was very responsive. Once we visited the shop, I was amazed at the decor and how clean and professionally everything was set up. Cesar made me feel very comfortable (he could sense my nerves!) and I was in and out in half an hour! Not only did we joke around but I was able to listen to whatever music I wanted to and it almost felt like I was with family. The cherry on top of the cake was that three days after my tattoo, he reached out to me to find out how it was healing. Definitely see Cesar for all your tattoo needs. I cannot recommend him enough!

An hour and a half in the bitter cold alley later and line hadn't moved. Paid $10 for a notary waiver for a minor child and never got that, or my time back.

One very positive thing that came out of this was I met an awesome dude at Monique's about 20 minutes away who was an expert piercer with small a wait time and he took less than five minutes with his professionalism and skill to complete this simple ask.

For a hectic event everyone working there was super friendly and it was a really fun vibe going on outside in the back and inside the shop. I've had these piercings for almost a year now and for somebody who has a notoriously hard time getting piercings to heal these came out amazingly well and I've had no major issues at all. Cozy even indicated that the top piercing on both lobes actually ended up hitting cartilage (small ear problems) which I could hear and feel when the piercing was going on (ew!) and warned me that it might make it a bit harder and longer to heal, but it still went fine and really healed up nicely! As a note: if you do go on a Friday the 13th make sure you get there early enough because it does take a while and be aware that you sign up/form a line behind the shop, not out front on the sidewalk.
