    I had an incredible experience getting tattooed by Hyesook. She was kind, attentive, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I came in with an idea, and she turned it into something truly stunning with her amazing attention to detail. The shop was spotless and had such a warm, welcoming vibe—every artist I met was friendly and supportive. I’m beyond happy with the result and can’t recommend Hyesook enough. She’s a true gem!

    Paola and Percy are both such amazing artists and people! I feel so comfortable and welcomed in this studio! Would highly recommend whether you're a tattoo veteran or a newbie! Both pieces I got from them healed amazing!

    This is the only place I will get Tattoos from here on out :) I have gotten 7 almost 8 tattoos done by Hyesook. They all have aged so well!! I love the feels of the studio and the private rooms are so nice if you have anxiety like I do.
