Will definitely be recommending them and will be telling everyone that will listen to me about my experience here. The minute you walk in you are greeted with a warm welcome. They are very hospitable. The studio is so clean and inviting. Nik the co-owner was my artist and I absolutely loved working with him on my newest art piece. Communication was very easy. I just gave him my ideas and he ran with it, he is an amazing artist, and made my visit super comfortable and easy peasy.

Such a good and creative vibe! Everyone were so friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to listen to my ideas, ensuring they understood exactly what I wanted.

Adi and shay were absolutely amazing. Not only are they incredibly talented, but they also made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. The level of detail and precision in their work is astounding, and the final result exceeded all my expectations.

The shop maintained the all standards of hygiene, and I felt safe knowing that everything was sanitized and that the artists followed strict safety protocols. The pricing was also fair and transparent, with no hidden costs.

“Me and my wife went in earlier this week for matching Tattoos. This was one of the best tattoo experiences I've ever had and I've been tatted alot of times. We setup an appointment and he was very responsive in doing so. We got into our appointment and he was already working on our design. He went above and beyond to make sure that we had the perfect design. And the outcome was perfect. We're extremely happy. And even his guidance in the after care is great and I can already tell that it will fully heal beautifully. If you need a great tatt for a great price, and great vibes go to Droopy!“

Cleanliness: I always feel safe at this shop because everything is clean and kept spotless in the studio spaces.“

“I absolutely love getting my tattoos done by Dan. If you appreciate simple, delicate designs, I highly recommend him, especially. Dan has done four of my six tiny tattoos, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I suggest him to anyone who wants a tattoo, but for sure to those who prefer unique, smaller designs over larger, more traditional ones (and first timers!). He's excellent at bringing your submitted designs to life and is also fantastic at collaborating to create something new (my next tattoo will be a more intricate collaboration with him!). The shop is impeccably clean and sterile and has a great vibe with awesome music. It's genuinely a fun place to hang out. Many musicians and celebrities also trust this place. Can't wait for my next session!

Cleanliness: Super clean and they do disinfect the tattoo area beforehand.“
