“Janella tattooed a fancy, fun, and sickening little slug on me a few weeks ago. I'm still in awe of its beauty and her talent! The day of the tattoo, she showed me a few designs and was open to feedback. She really listened and the final drawing was exactly what I was going for. It's also healing so well! See for yourself and follow her instagram @janellameletattoo ! Thank you Janella for being gentle, open minded and collaborative!“

“So I went to see Carrisa for my first tattoo on Friday the 19th and wow was I impressed with her artwork. And I went back today on the 22nd for my second tattoo and just like my first time, Carrisa didn’t disappoint. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and as you can see I got the scorpion done on Friday and the dragon done today and I am literally in love with these tattoos. Thank you so Much Carissa and Ellen for doing this for me and I will be back in the near future. I highly recommend going to Wave N Pave for your tattoos. ?“

“Joe Gettler did my tattoo. I came as a walk-in a few hours after my dog died. He worked with me to make a beautiful memorial tattoo and was so kind and understanding. I’d love to be tattoo’d by him again and I’ll be telling everyone about this place. He made such a beautiful picture of my dog in such a short time. Exactly what I wanted. I’ll always have her with me now, thank you Joe.

“I had an absolutely fantastic experience getting tattooed by Brian Hemming at GITM. This was not my first tattoo but it was my first "custom" tattoo, where I wanted someone to design my idea for me, and I was pretty nervous about the whole process. I searched for a really long time before finding Brian's work, and I pretty much immediately knew that his artistic style was what I was looking for. I booked an online consultation with him and he was super friendly, easy to work with, and I could tell he actually cared about understanding my idea. He sent me some preliminary sketches and I requested a few modifications to his initial sketch which he was totally cool about. Again, I could tell he understood the idea I had in my head. When he sent me the final design, I was honestly blown away -- it was perfect. We booked an appointment and he did the tattoo in one session. We even had to make one last-minute adjustment which he accommodated with no problem. The whole experience was super comfortable and super professional -- really, it pretty much could not have gone any better. Brian was able to take an idea I had in my head and turn it into something real and authentic. I literally could not be happier with the tattoo and how it turned out. The entire process was excellent and I am so humbled and grateful to Brian for his work!“

“I have been going to Pino Bros for years now, and I never turn down an opportunity to recommend them to anyone looking to get a new tattoo. Every single person who works here is nothing short of fantastic, friendly, and welcoming. My go-to guy is Ian Adams, who is not only an incredible tattoo artist, but just all around wonderful person who has some how managed to turn all of my weirdly wild and hair-brained ideas into magnificent pieces of art that I now have the privilege to wear. If you're in the market for fun and spooky skin art, Ian is your guy too. But truly, every artist here is masterclass, and the every appointment is like hanging out with old friends.“

“had a really great experience here, quick and easy with a high quality finished product, even touched up some parts of a past tattoo for free. really nice folk. will return to cover more parts of my body with ink.“
