Good to know before you book
- Fine-line and micro work here demands a clear reference — bring high-res images and expect a short consult before the needle.
- Realism and portrait work depends heavily on reference quality — clean, well-lit source photos make the biggest difference.
- Walk-in availability isn't always posted online — a quick phone call is the fastest way to know if they can fit you in today.
- Calendars tend to book several weeks out — reach out as early as possible if you have a target date.

This review is long overdue. I have been seeing Martha Gual since she was at another tattoo studio. I am absolutely in awe of her fabulous art. She got my ideas and created designs that I fell in love with. Martha use of colors and attention to even the smallest details is amazing, her lines are flawless, and she has a very delicate touch. I am so happy with her work. I did my homework before deciding to see a tattoo artist and when I found her Instagram, I instantly decided she was the right one. I highly recommend to go see her for any tattoo project or even if you are not sure and need some help developing an idea.. she is the best. I have been seeing Martha for over a year and will definitely keep on seeing her to finish my arm sleeve and possibly start on the other arm! 😊😊💜 💜💜
My little sister recommended Annabelle for my first tattoo because of the line work. Boy was she right. Thanks Anabelle!
Great shop with great tattooers. It’s a classic tattoo shop. Fun personalities to pass the time of torture. Jamie is particularly amazing and did amazing portraits of my dogs some years back. Recently did have some scheduling issues and conflict with a different tattooer at the shop. So I don’t know if I’ll be going back any time soon. But overall it’s a great shop and there are some really talented artists there.
