“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!“
“My son got 3 tattoos for his 18th birthday present by Freddy and he did an amazing job! My husband and I got tattoos for our 10 year wedding anniversary and Matt was amazing!!! I'm obsessed with this place will plan on coming back for many many more tattoos!!“
“I got tattooed by Eddie, and I will say it was one of my best experiences with an artist! He was very thoughtful and attentive which made the whole process extremely easy. I appreciate the time that was taken to make sure everything was to my liking for some lettering work on my arm. Everything came out beautiful and overall a great time working with him!“
“Heather was so amazing, she helped me figure out just what I wanted and then designed something perfect for me, and the experience was really great. I was looking for a large piece in honor of my daughter, a rosebush for my Rosie girl, and Heather took my ideas and photos and created something truly beautiful. Two sittings, 3-ish hours each, and Heather was great the whole time. She even had snacks (which was helpful!). Tattoos are an uncomfortable experience, but it was much easier and way less painful than childbirth!“

“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. ?“

I’ll always have her with me now, thank you Joe.

“I am very fortunate to be a cosmetic tattoo client of Juli Moon. She originally provided me with eyebrow tattoos in 2010 and did the first touch-up in 2015. I recently went back for a second touch-up, and my experience was just as wonderful as the first two appointments.
Juli is patient, knowledgeable, friendly, and a fantastic conversationalist. With all her years' experience, I fully trust her input and judgment, but she is always willing to listen to her clients as well since we wear the art.
Her location has its own parking lot, which is shared for all the businesses in the building. The studio itself is on the second floor, and each artist has their own space. It's such a creative atmosphere that exudes confidence and is welcoming to all. I always look forward to coming to see Juli.
Specialties: Cosmetic tattoos“
