    I have gotten both arms sleeved here by Justin and I can honestly say, his art is amazing. I have gotten so many complements on my tattoos. My dude is the Bob Ross of tattoo artists and a genuinely great person as well. If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo, do it at The Murder! You won’t regret it!

    Had a great experience with Willy on my tattoo of my dog memorial. He was super professional and informative. He even let me use the ashes in the ink on my first session. I could not be more pleased in how it turned out and I have already recommended him to my friends. I’ll definitely be back for more ink therapy. Thanks!
