I had a great experience with Mario! I called for a walk in looking for a gap filler, and he had me seated within the hour! I really enjoyed the space, cute visits from his dog, and got a beautiful magnolia tattoo on my arm that Mario freehanded. Super talented artist. It’s hard to find great free hand artists in the area but I highly recommend Mario! :)

Ready to embrace the Fire Horse. So naturally, felt like it was the perfect day to get my first tattoo at the age of 50. I brought in a simple design, had no idea what I was asking for, and Mario took the time to talk through my ideas, placement and small details without rushing anything. He was incredibly patient and professional. His studio is very chill, clean and a very welcoming environment. His dog is also super rad! I know everyone has a different pain tolerance. I got my tattoo in a place where I would read it would hurt and I was pleasantly surprised. Maybe it was Mario, maybe I was just relaxed, but I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. I had a fantastic first experience. I would definitely go back for another. Already thinking about it. 🤘🔥🐎

Sooo, I had such a great experience at MarioInk yesterday. I called while I was about 11 or so minutes away…(not sure if it was the best time), but Mario answered right away and welcomed me in with no hesitation. I sent over a pic of the tattoo I wanted, and to my surprise he was able to fit me in same day. (Walk-in’s welcome) 🥹! From start to finish the energy was calm, focused, professional, and intentional. Mario is truly a meticulous artist. He really took his time and made sure everything was clean, precise, and aligned. The final piece turned out even better than I expected. I showed up with a piece conjured up and he brought it to life!! You can tell he genuinely cares not just about the tattoo, but about the person getting it. That kind of attention is RARE and means so much. I’ve been searching around, but my heart was never set on where to go. I’m so glad I found him when I did. You’re not just getting a tattoo here…you’re getting a sacred experience with someone who puts his heart into his craft. Finding MarioInk felt like divine timing ✨ If you’re “thinking” about booking, DON’T THINK…Be like Nike, and just do it. You won’t regret it. He gained a forever client. 10/10 Highly, highly recommend!
