All sources say this spot should've been open, but once I walked there with a friend for a birthday tattoo I planned to gift her, there was not a SINGLE sign of this Place being open, nor any signs as to where we should go instead if there was a relocation. The phone number wasn't active either ‍ so either they were messed up this day (a Tuesday in the middle of the day); or something's going that I wasn't aware of, or that wasn't broadcasted. I'll give it two because I assume they do good enough work. But I never had the opportunity to find out

I knew that I'd found the right place as soon as I went to the website. Everything was explained in great detail. I followed up by emailing Brandon regarding pricing. He responded quickly and kept in touch. He even emailed me just to let me know that the shop was going to open later than usual so I wouldn't just arrive and have to wait. A little anxious, I brought along my friend for moral support. Brandon was really wonderful and put me at ease. He walked me through the entire process and answered all of my questions. I was really worried that it was going to hurt like hell but I'm happy to say that it was more uncomfortable than painful and it was over in no time. I am now pierced and I couldn't be happier with that decision and the decision to choose Encrypted and Brandon. I'd highly recommend this studio and its owner. Professional at every step, kind and knowledgeable. I'm already trying to decide what tattoo to get next so that I can go back to the shop. Thanks Brandon for making my piercing experience a great one! :)

Yesterday on NYE I was debating on getting a tattoo. I had this one tattoo shop in mind but when I…read moreshowed up it was closed. I didn't even think of checking out another tattoo shop until my boyfriend recommended this one. I was hesitant at first and nervous because I have never gotten a tattoo before so this would be my first but when I walked into the shop this women at the front desk greeted us and took her time answering all the questions I had, she was very understanding that I was nervous and was super patient with me. She then introduced me to one of the tattoo artists that works there named Grez. I showed him the tattoo I wanted and asked him questions about the work, etc. Right away he made me feel comfortable. I put down my deposit, left for 30 min to grab a bite to eat and came back. ( they made the non-refundable, deposit fee very clear ) and keep in mind I was a walk-in , they had a huge cancellation right before I came in so they were able to fit me into their schedule. (They have appointments booked out in advance) talk about perfect timing ! Grez was great ! He took his time making sure the placement of the tattoo was where I wanted it, made sure I was comfortable since he knew it was my first tattoo and had no idea what to expect. This tattoo only took him 1 1/2- 2 hours to finish and I loved the finished product. I would recommend this tattoo shop most definitely. The work environment is super professional and the tattoo artists at this place is amazing. They make every step clear and didn't seem to get frustrated once. The shop is really clean and in a great location. Thank you Grez for creating such a beautiful piece and being so patient and gentle with the work ! I'm happy that this was my first experience getting a tattoo!

Natalia's space was clean, the background music was chill, she clearly cared about sanitization, and she seemed to work at a good pace. She also cut a large piece of second skin to keep the fresh tattoo safe. Really, I've got nothing but good things to say about my experience, and I can't wait for my next one!
