Dave knew things about my tattoo I didn't even know I wanted. Great service, aftercare, timelessness, respectfulness and knowledge of his craftsmanship. For the occasion I requested two pieces on my lower forearm. He assisted me with every detail, from sizing of both the art and font of lettering. making sure the art was historically accurate, and well fitted to my form. He gave me tips on both the placement and color scheme for my piece. I have art on my body from Japan, New Zealand, Hawaii, Los Angeles, and I'm proud to collaborate with ACE Tattoo to add another piece.

Did you get that done around here?" And to their disappointment I have to inform them that I travel to CA because Dave's the only artist who has and will work on my arms.

I had my tattoo here yesterday and it was such an intense experience, the owner is very honest and straight forward, he will not try to just take your money and give you whatever tattoo you ask for and I’m glad he didn’t.I spent almost an hour talking to him at first I was like wth but then I realized he was right, the tattoo I was trying to get won’t represent who I am. I ended up getting something beautiful that I can’t stop looking at.He was very funny and gave me plenty of life advice. I will return for more tattoos in the future.Service: Tattoos
