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.
- Traditional pieces tend to be quoted by piece, not hourly. Ask for flash sheets if you want a same-week appointment.
- Larger Japanese pieces are usually booked across multiple sittings — plan for at least two visits.
- Realism and portrait work depends heavily on reference quality — clean, well-lit source photos make the biggest difference.
- Colour-heavy pieces benefit from a structured touch-up visit 4–6 weeks after healing.

My husband and I have several tattoos by Aaron. He does great work and he’s comfortable to be around. We love his traditional style bold line work, detail and shading. He’s patient and professional and always brings our visions to life. Highly recommend Aaron. The shop was also welcoming and clean.
Everytime I go to Aaron for a tattoo I have the best possible experience. His art is beautiful, and he's super easy to work with on getting exactly what you want. He's super attentive when tattooing you and I've had so many fun conversations with him while getting work done. Highly recommend!
I had a great experience with Aaron. I was getting my back done, so I lied down and we both just put on our headphones and hung out (we could still hear each other though for adjustments, etc.). It was relaxing, despite the inherently painful process of being tattooed.
