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.
- 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.
- 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.

10/10 experience with Tony. The environment is great, I felt real comfortable the entire session. He did my Medusa piece in May and healed up within 2 weeks n it looks amazing. I’m constantly getting stopped from people admiring his work. I’m grateful for finding n getting the opportunity to get tattooed by him. I can’t wait for future projects!
Ask for Nectar!!! Amazing tattoo artist! Currently has done all my tatts!! 10/10 Artist, great guy! Very chill and super talented. He has done all my tattoos. Photos below are current anime tatts he's done. We are currently finishing off my leg sleeve and a berserk qtr sleeve. Does amazing work and you won't regret!
I just got my tattoo done and I have to say I’m extremely happy with the result. Tony has amazing talent and truly exceeded my expectations with his artwork. The whole experience was fantastic being tattooed with a great view while having meaningful conversations made it even better. The tattoo shop was extremely clean! Right after my session, another customer gave me my first compliment, and I continued receiving more the very next day while out at the store. I know there will be many more to come. Thank you Tony, for bringing my ideas to life. I pray you continue to find success and always remain safe in your craft. Blessings on blessings...
