The tattoo turned out exactly how my daughter wanted it and healed beautifully. What's more, the shop is beautiful and inviting.

If…read moreanyone knows part of my story, I have two cover-ups, one that needs covered, and one BIG piece on my back that didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted it. So it's understandable to be extremely picky for an artist. But thank God for Bobby. His work is the best and EVERYONE SHOULD GET A TATTOO FROM HIM. Super awesome to talk to as well. Oh and he has been tattooing for 20 years. The experience makes a difference.

So i came here on Saturday to get a tattoo based of a recommendation from my old supervisor. I came…read morein as soon as they opened and spoke with Amber. I was acknowledged as soon as i came into the shop. I showed Amber my tattoo and went it to the shop email. She printed it out and for a price from Martin. Martin is the tattoo straits who did my tattoo. The original tattoo was bigger than I wanted, so he drew it and resized it for me. My tattoo only took about 15 minutes. Martin was one of the best artist I've ever had a tatto from. This is my fifth tattoo and he applied just enough pressure and I felt no pain. The shop is clean and the staff are very talent and friendly. I will be back for more work.

I was with Jacqi for a tattoo this was my second piece with her and my first comission (first one…read morewas flash) and I absolutely loved the tattoo and experience. Everything was clean and process was fast and easy. I'm not very experienced with tattoos and tend to be a baby with pain and can't even look at needles but Jacqi is very experienced and made the whole process smooth and easy. Definitely reccomend both Jacqi and Wicked Goddess- her art style is soooooo cool and even though I havent been pierced here they have a huge jewelry selection.

She is super personable to talk to - that my session went by pretty quickly - and so skilled at what she does. I sent over two inspo pictures and she got the design just right with the font, spacing and even delicateness of the letters! I absolutely love it. I normally get skin hives from environmental stressors but my tattoo was only slightly red immediately after and not hiving at all in the recovery. It is healing really well, too. The business itself is also very welcoming and bright. I cannot recommend this business and Maddy enough!

Please check out his website and trust him with your next piercing. BTW: he runs specials on a regular. Planning on going again soon for my rook and Christina piercing. When you get your nerve up ... go visit him and tell him you saw it on Yelp.

The next day I made my way to the shop and after a bit of a wait, apparently a lot of people took the opportunity for this special, I was up.
