I remember them being friendly to my younger self and that they asked me more than once if I was ready to be inked.

Skilled and creative professional with a can-do-attitude that will make you follow her wherever she will be tattooing. She is not only a SUPERB artist but she is also someone that has the people skills that is nice to have when you spend several hours with someone that close. Temple Tattoo is a great place simply because of an artist like her.

I came in with some art I found on Pinterest, but thought it would be nice to give her some creative freedom too. She came up with a small ghost for my wrist -- and I loved it instantly. Over the past week, I've gotten so many compliments on it. Turns out that I love it wayyyy more than my initial line wraparound! She made the process so smooth, gave great aftercare advice, and was just such a vibe the whole time. Huge shoutout to her, she does amazing work! I also want to shout out the rest of the crew I met during my session: Canada, Flaco, and Sam. They were so kind and welcoming. We vibed over books, life struggles, and everything in between. It all felt so genuine, like hanging out with friends. And it blew my mind that they remembered me when I attended the VB Tattoo Fest this weekend! For a first tattoo, I couldn't have asked for better people or a better experience. I'll definitely be adding more over time. I totally get the idea of "tattoo therapy" now - highly, highly recommend this place!

I originally tried getting a quote from another shop and they pushed me aside saying that my tattoo wasn't "big enough to warrant an appointment and should just be a walk in." I told Kelsey that since it was my first tattoo I wanted to make sure that I got exactly what I wanted without feeling rushed. Once we set up our consultation she went out of her way to make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. We had to reschedule a couple times due to my schedule and she was understanding about that as well! Once we got started she offered me lots of breaks and checked in multiple times to make sure that I was feeling okay. I am beyond obsessed with my tattoo and I can't wait to head back for more from her! She gave me her personal number and said multiple times that I should reach out with any concerns I might have. If you have been on the fence about what shop to use - don't hesitate! Black Rose & Dagger is where you need to go.
