“So so pleased with a deeply Collaborative Process with Dylan on a blackwork sleeve and another very integrated leg piece. Dylan was very open to me being highly involved in the design, allowing for a slow process over weeks before we proceeded with the final piece. This is all very rare for tattoo artists ~ i searched for this for over a year !! He's so lovely to team with, easy to talk to, and a great listening with all that arises as you're going through all the pain during those hours. i recommend him in a heartbeat !!!! Thank you .. Thank you .. Thank you Dylan ~ you're a gem !!“

“Highly recommend! Aaron handled my request and got us setup with a dual appointment. Vi is a fantastic artist and did a perfect job with both projects.

Cleanliness: Very clean and well kept studio.“

“Awesome work done with a great experience. A true artist when it comes to his work . I got two leg sleeves done with him and was able to just throw the ideas I wanted to him and let him do his thing and each one I was surprised how it came out. Was also able to fit me in a short notice to finish a piece before I left for vacation and worked on his day off. Will no longer get work done anywhere else for future tattoos I will need . I can honestly say he puts his full passion into each tattoo he does and try's to make it diff than others . Appreciate it brotha“

“Love this place, I got some nice piercings here and the employees helped me put them in. They also offer free consultations which is always nice. Very queer friendly which makes me feel safe <3.“

“I was a walk in a few weeks ago and was able to be seen right away. I came in to get a piecing and was paired with Star, who is an amazing human. The place was laid back and very clean. Starr took the time to make sure the location matched with another piercing I have. Thank you again, and I will definitely be back and have recommended the place to a few friends who are looking to get more piercings.“
