This past weekend I got my first tattoo by Ria ( @tattooist_kimria) in honor of my dog Hailey's passing 1 year ago. I felt like I got extremely lucky finding Ria, and the timing of it all worked so well that I was able to get set up on the 1-year anniversary of her passing. It was everything I could have asked for, and more. I had been to a couple of places to get quotes, and they didn't really sit there and take the time to understand this tattoo was really important to me, not only that it's my first, but that it was in memoriam of my dog of 15 years. I got a response quickly after submitting my information through VISM's website and began working on the scheduling and detail of the tattoo, sending photos over to Ria and her team for review. Ria came up with multiple designs and sent those, I think I knew in a matter of seconds because one of the photos felt like I could see Hailey's eyes again, it was honestly crazy. We worked through the final details, with Ria allowing me to make changes to the certain areas of the design, and she got it dialed in and sent over a few days before and it was perfect. I got to the studio and immediately felt comfortable in the space. Ria was great at working with my - this is my first tattoo and I went chest, too which all my friends built up that it would be painful. I was in the chair for maybe 2.5 hours total, didn't have to break at all. Ria was great at checking in with my throughout, but those 2.5 hours allowed me time to think back through the 15 years of Hailey and I's time together. It was truly a one of a kind experience, and one that I had been hoping to have with my first tattoo since I though of the idea. Ria was great in everyway and VISM Studio's support and direction on how to prepare for the tattoo, payment process, and all that was easy to understand. I highly recommend Ria if you are looking to memorialize your pup or kitty - I can't wait to see the finished result here in a month once it is fully healed. It's still so crazy how she got Hailey's eyes! read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Ria Kim. I recently got a tattoo in memory of my angel dog, Charlie, and it means more to me than I can put into words. From the very beginning, Ria treated my idea with so much care, patience, and respect. She really took the time to understand who Charlie was to me--not just a pet, but family--and translated that into something truly beautiful and lasting. Her attention to detail is incredible. Every line, every expression, every little nuance captured Charlie's spirit so perfectly that it honestly took my breath away when I first saw it finished. It's not just a tattoo--it feels like a piece of him is still with me. Beyond her artistic talent, Ria is also incredibly kind and professional. She made the whole process comfortable and meaningful, which mattered a lot given how emotional this piece was for me. If you're looking for an artist who genuinely cares about your story and can turn it into something unforgettable, I wholeheartedly recommend Ria Kim. I'll treasure this tattoo forever. read more

I don't really ever post reviews, but I wanted to highlight my experience with Ria and Vism Studio. After saying goodbye to our pup Neko last summer, our family spent many months mourning our loss. She was the best girl and I knew that I wanted to honor her with a tattoo. I came across Ria's paw print pet portraits on IG and instantly decided that was the design route I wanted to go in for my tattoo. After reaching out to express interest, I appreciated the email communication providing all the appointment and studio details, getting my questions answered, and being able to submit multiple photos of Neko and her paw print. Ria sent design draft options a couple days before my appointment and offered to make adjustments even on the day of, although none were needed because Ria is an incredibly talented artist! She was able to so beautifully capture Neko's soft eyes and spirit. I love that I get to see Neko looking back at me everyday. Thank you Ria for your care and intention! read more

I found Ria through her beautiful work online. Her attention to detail and meticulous art execution is what drew me to her work. Scheduling the appointment was a breeze. The entire process from beginning to end was quick and straightforward. Getting to the studio was easy, and parking nearby was available to find. The studio itself is amazing. Clean, organized, properly lit and designed, it offered a comforting feeling from the moment you walk in. When it was time for the appointment, Ria took her time to ensure I was certain in what I liked, wanted, and placement and size. Her calming energy while doing the tattoo helped me be more relaxed and made time disappear. It took barely couple of hours and the final product is absolutely amazing. I cannot have asked for a better design and turnout. Ria was the right person to entrust with my first tattoo. I would highly recommend and would go back. read more

I can't say enough good things about this experience. I recently lost my dog, and getting this tattoo meant everything to me. Ria took the time to really understand what I wanted and brought my dog's memory to life in the most beautiful way.

Not only is the artwork incredible, but the entire environment was welcoming, clean, and comfortable.

If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about their work and can turn something deeply personal into art, I highly recommend her. I'll be coming back for future pieces without a doubt. read more

This was my second tattoo from Ovenlee, and once again, I couldn't be happier! She was so meticulous and thoughtful throughout the entire process. Super sweet too -- she took after-photos and gave me detailed aftercare instructions, which I really appreciated. Her skillset is truly top tier - it was definitely a premium price, but worth every single penny. The receptionist was also incredibly kind and attentive, which made the entire experience even smoother. The studio itself was clean, bright, and had such a calming vibe. All the artists there seem incredibly talented. I even managed to convince my best friend to get a tattoo with me, and we both had such a pleasant experience. Highly recommend - the quality, care, and artistry here are unmatched! read more

Amazing experience at VISM Studio. Super clean, very professional, and genuinely friendly from the moment I walked in. My tattoo artist, E.NAL is world class.

I also really appreciated how respectful they were around masking and respiratory illness safety. It was handled kindly and without any awkwardness, which meant a lot to me. Definitely expensive, but you truly get what you pay for. Worth it across the board. Highly recommend. read more

Ria's talent is undeniable! She did such remarkable work representing my beloved cat Snow. She gave me multiple designs options before my appointment, all of them were in the shape of the paw print that I provided to her and Snow's face was just perfect. She also made sure to redo the parts that I asked her to revise. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a tattoo artist who knows how to catch every details of your furry friend! read more

Vism Studio is a tattoo studio with a relaxing vibe. It is clean and the staff are professional. Jebi is an amazing artist.

Everything was great. The service, the quality, the art, the comfort. I also appreciated the snacks and water!
