I found Sansa at Baron Art Studio by looking through hundreds of Instagram tattoo artist. I found her work to be what I was looking for I designed some of the tattoo myself with the help of AI and then I reached out to Sansa to share my idea. She then worked with me to make it a reality. She added some of her own touches which I loved and adopted. I am so unbelievably grateful and impressed with her professionalism and high quality work Thank you so much for making this tattoo an amazing piece of art I can carry with me. If I get anymore tattoos I will be working with Sansa again.

Also, I called in the second time to reschedule my appointment and it was a quick process. I came in to get my first piercing. My piercer was Joslyn and she was super and kind and definitely made me feel comfortable the whole time. I wasn't too knowledgeable on how the healing process was like or what downsizing meant, but Joslyn explained it very well. She also was very patient when we were figuring out the exact placement had no problem moving around the placement until I liked it. The overall vibes were really good and I can see why this place is highly rated. I felt comfortable and felt taken care of. Maybe I'll get a tattoo here next time :)

He has really good attention to detail, super crisp and clean lines, and such a gentle hand.

His prices are also really reasonable, especially for the quality of his work & the amount of experience has, which I really appreciate. He's super friendly and makes you feel comfortable the whole time. The shop is always clean and has a really welcoming vibe too.

I sent reference photos and explained the style I was looking for beforehand, but the final tattoo didn't really resemble what I had in mind or what I sent over. The appointment itself felt awkward and pretty unwelcoming. There wasn't much communication about the design or style during the session, and I left feeling unsure about it almost immediately. Considering I paid over $500, I expected a much more collaborative experience and a result that felt more personalized. A little over a year later, I ended up paying another artist to completely cover it with the design I originally wanted in the first place (for the same price). I know every artist has their own process and style, and I'm sure some people have had great experiences, but mine unfortunately wasn't one of them.

I've met all the artists and they all welcome you as soon as you walk in. My artist is Kaythleen. She is awesome. I met her when she was an apprentice. I was looking for an artist that would do a memorial to one of my Frenchies who passed away. It had to be perfect. After speaking to her about my idea(s), she offered to me, with 100% confidence that she could do a "Realism" portrait of him. After putting my trust in her, she came through. She blew me away with the final stroke of her tattoo gun. I couldn't have been happier. Following that, I asked her to do a portrait of my other Frenchie. She immediately said yeas and was very excited to continue this journey. She delivered another masterpiece. Now I have both of my boys on my leg. We talked and discussed my next project. By this time Kaythleen had earned the title of Tattoo Artist. She was no longer an apprentice. I had been wanting to do a full leg sleeve of the Darkside characters of Star Wars. Mainly sidious, maul, and vader. She was again very excited to take on this challenge and make it happen. I come up with the concept and some artwork, she spins it in her mind and comes up with the layout. Somfar on this journey, it has been nothing short of amazing. We have just finished all the up to my knee and are currently working on going up the leg now. I get so many compliments on the artwork, layout, and her ability to make it all flow. I can't wait for the next session. She is absolutely amazing, hardworking, dedicated, and takes pride in what she does. Thank you to Kaythleen for making this a reality for me .

While we were already impressed by her b/w portraits and lines prior to getting our pieces done, she delivered a caring and thoughtful experience that has led us to return to her on occasion. ... After getting a few small pieces done at Anvil -- a place that has always provided a reliable, safe, and comfortable space for me-- I was looking for an artist for my pops, who at the age of 61, wanted to immortalize our Pekingese whom he essentially raised from birth. After coming across Kaythleen's work on Anvil's socials, we were really impressed by her b/w portraits and line work, and decided to book an appointment. Not only did she deliver an amazing piece, but she also helped foster a core experience for my father who shared that she was patient, kind, and meticulous. Ever since, I have had multiple pieces done by Kaythleen -- the most recent of which was a miniature line portrait of our family home and of our Jack Russell. My mother, who was never big on ink felt compelled to get a small piece done and is scheduled in for another. It's become a true family affair!

We all wanted something a little different to commemorate our annual girls trip. I have a full sleeve already and lots of leg tattoos, one of us had only 2 tattoos, and the other is somewhere between so we all have different levels of experience getting tattooed. The shop has an old school aesthetic but without the traditional too tough to be kind and helpful vibe. Everyone was very friendly. They answered all our questions and drew up exactly what we wanted. The prices were reasonable and the quality was top notch! My friend even got new nose jewelry that the piercer changed for her. Overall a really fun experience in a clean, professional shop with talented artists.

The highest praise I can give him is that if you look at other stuff in his portfolio, it doesn't look like the tattoos I've gotten, and yet, he consistently does exactly what I ask for.

This last one I did I think is my favorite and may be hard to top, but that won't stop me from trying ;-) I actually got the hubby to make an appt with him also. Thanks, Mike!
