All the ink embedded within the superficial layers of my skin has been put in by Mo. All the ink embedded within the superficial layers of my 60 year old mother's arm has, also, been put in by Mo. Yes, she is a fantastic tattoo artist. But let me take it a step further and omit the word tattoo for a moment. She is a very gifted and talented artist. If you review Mo's work, whether on a human, or on the canvas, you can easily see a glimpse of her deep artistic expression within it. You don't necessarily need to know this person, but reviewing her stuff on various internet platforms will give you an insight on what she does, how she does and more importantly how passionately she does. My experience with Mo is tattooing, thus I will keep this review strictly about that (though she also does other things which can be reflected on the said platforms). What I can confidently say about her work is that she listens. She acutely listens to the idea that the individual brings to her and is very aware of the fact that though, for her, it may be another tattoo, the person bringing it to her has come with something which may be very special to them. So she gives each consultation session the same importance. She has over a decade and a half of experience which can be seen in her confidence. She is confident enough to make suggestions and help drive an idea to its epitome; and still never takes complete charge and always is aware of the fact to have the person who is getting tattooed still call all the shots. She recommends, humbly; she suggests, creatively; and she modifies, appropriately and dynamically. By now, I have spent over fifty hours of 'under-the-needle' time with her. As simply as I can say this - she is good. Tattooing is not a pain free process. But the care with which the person tattooes makes all the difference. Various aspects of her sessions - her machine is sound free. You know that classic tattooing sound - at least for me that nerve-racking at first. SO me now hearing anything makes all the difference. At this point its different now but at first this was huge. Next, her music selection is DIVERSE. I can't emphasize this how important music can be and how kick ass her music playlists are. Also, she can gauge really well how the client is doing under the needle by body language and the overall perception of pain being exhibited by the client. She modifies, slows down, takes a break or beasts through the session based on how YOU are doing. Also, she can talk you out of the worst pain areas, move around, IF NEEDED, and do all sorts of different tricks to help ease the overall experience. I, personally, wouldn't take the experience any other way. If it were easily placed under the skin, it definitely wouldn't be worth it. So, so sum up this essay - Mo is gifted, talented (very), creative AF, and really can help you bring an idea to life in its fullest potential. I am for sure going back. read more

Ben Workman was excellent to work with. I sent him some concept images and he sent back the first draft. We made some revisions and ended up with the art in the pictures. He was so easy to work with, he didn't have any resistance to the changes requested in the design. The day of he was professional and incredibly helpful with managing some unexpected discomfort with my skin sensitivity. 10/10 recommending to all of my friends. read more

I truly appreciate Jacqueline Mathews at Satori Tattoo Collective. She has completed two tattoos on me recently, and each time I was impressed with her art work as well as her patience in working with me to determine what I wanted.

I have been in a number of tattoo shops over the years, accompanying friends as they get their tattoos and piercings. Today, I decided to get my first tattoo and I researched tons of places. Let me tell you, the people at Satori are amazing. I came out of Dallas to Waxahachie and got a tattoo from Mo because everything I read, heard, and witnessed was too notch. Their ethical practices when dealing with their customers and health practices from start to finish are the best I've ever seen. Their friendly, calm studio with relaxing music playing is so inviting and their customer service brings a smile to my face. Mo did my tattoo and every tattooed friend I have says it's the best line work they have ever seen. One friend with 23 tattoos said it was better work than any tattoo he had. He then made an appointment with Mo. if you can, get your next tattoo at Satori. What a wonderful group of people! I'll be back for more! read more

Long story - trying to shorten as well as possible. Found some artwork on a nice lady at the apartments I was living at and asked who did their ink job. I was given a name and a cell phone number. I sat on it for a bit while I figured out what sort of work I'd like done. I got my nerve up and found what I was wanting. Mo gave me a few ideas and we ran with it. Sitting down in the chair after my appointment and nervous as all can be, she made the experience as pain free as possible and comforting. She really has awesome people know how in knowing when someone needs a break and helps them all the way through the process of getting ink. Especially after long sessions, she has a great know how in the healing process, uses the best products in her work, and she is a perfectionist in her work. I have never felt more certain that she could take a piece of art and add her own touches to elevate it to a point that, especially after my last piece, brings you to tears of joy and happiness. I currently live quite a distance away from her and she always has gone out of her way to take care of customers. Very much a people person, her talent is above most tattoo artists that are twice her age. She is driven and has a passion for doing great and wonderful artwork and even transferring that into ink permanently on living canvasses. She is my tattoo artist for life. I am, since day one, a loyal customer. She is simply incredible. I am currently planning out more work not only for me but for people in my family and close friends who want more tattoos. read more

Mo is a true artist. She took my wide and purple scar from a major surgery and transformed it into a beautiful piece of art. EVERYONE is trying to figure out how she managed this. A picture is worth 1,000 words. I will be back! She is also warm, kind, and wonderful read more

Mo is an amazing artist! I got recommended to her by a friend from work and I took a risk by doing my research and booking an appointment before I even met her. Her work on social media and the tattoo that my friend had gave me confidence in her. The first time I met her she was so nice and made me feel very comfortable. She did an outstanding job on my moon and I'm so happy that I have this beautiful piece of art on my body that I get to see every day. I recently got another one from her that is a matching tattoo with my mom. I told her what I wanted and some of the elements I'd like to include and she created a beautiful, feminine compass that means so much to me and my mom. I can't thank Mo enough for her kindness, flexibility, and pure talent. I would definitely recommend Mo to anyone looking for an amazing artist! read more

Mo did an outstanding job on my tiny tattoo! I researched a lot before picking an artist since this was my first tattoo but she was nice and graciously made all the edits I wanted to do! The tattoo came out great and I get compliments on it all the time! I'd had it for over a year and it still looks amazing! read more

What a wonderful experience Mo gave me. This wasn't my first tattoo but it was the most important, being that it was for my parents, not approved by my parents, and the first one that is visible all the time. I knew what I wanted but I'm not an artist. I first found Mo's work on Pinterest, bit to my disappointment most of the work was coming up in Texas. So I kept looking around at ideas and found that she actually moved to Santa Clarita. After 2 years of pondering this idea I called and set up a meeting. I went and met Mo at Artifact Tattoo in Santa Clarita. She patiently sat with me and listened to my want list, which was quite long; a tortoise with a ladybug sitting on it with the letters SWAK and ME in the designed in tortoise shell, along with a blue butterfly flying away from the tortoise. She knew i was nervous, not about pain or anytjing but because my other tattoos never turned out exactly as I had hoped. Meet with her a couple weeks later to review the design, made some tweaks and made my appointment. Went in yesterday and shortly later my dream was a reality! I am so thrilled with the work she did and cannot thank her enough. Would I recommend her to others? More than that, I am showing everyone and telling everyone she is who they should go to. Mo, thank you so very much!!!! read more

Mo is superb! I went to her for microblading. I was looking for someone that had "needle to skin" experience. Not just someone that did eyebrows and took a short class to learn the technique. Mo is also a tattoo artist and has a creative touch. She also has great bedside manner! Her engaging conversation kept me calm during this slightly painful process. She walked me through the entire process and is also thorough with the after care. She answered all of my questions. Go see Mo for permanent on "fleek" brows. read more

I had my ombré eyebrows done by Mo. I absolutely love them!!!She does an amazing job. I highly recommend Mo Southern the place is very clean, comfortable & nicely decorated:) read more

Mo did my freckle tattoos and they came out great. She listened to my input in regards to where I wanted more and changes in shade, but she also stuck to her style and what she thought would look the best. I had three sessions total which helped achieve the beautiful natural look they have. She is a talented artist and a kind person, and I look forward to working with her in the future. read more
