I would follow my tattoo girl, Sonia Mac to any studio! But gratefully she has opened a studio with some other fantastic tattoo artists! Their studio located in downtown Durham has an extremely welcoming and friendly vibe! Watching the foot traffic go by while you're being tattooed is an added perk. These are top notch artists.. every single one of them! If you're looking for a small tattoo or a large piece (I've had both here) I definitely recommend Scarlet Rose Studio! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I've made multiple visits already and planned to keep coming back for each new tattoo!
