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.
- 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.
- 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.

Rochelle is truly an amazing artist. There is something special about an artist when you can give them all your ideas and they not only piece it together but take every detail of your imagination and put it on canvas. Atmosphere is wonderful, artists are insanely good, I feel at home and comfortable while here, and to top it off they are just caring people. Rochelle makes sure to explain the aftercare and gives you all the things you need to enjoy a healthy and beautiful tattoo.
All the artists at Kaizen are amazing, you can't go wrong picking an artist for your next tattoo. Erica is an amazing geometric and illustrative artist, Linda is great at black and grey realism, Rochelle does amazing surrealism portraits and Aragon and Luna have such cool/ cute flash designs! You can direct message an artist to make an appointment or they do flash/ walk-in events every other Friday. Highly recommend this shop!
I went to Desiree (aragon.tattoo) with an idea I had for a sleeve. I wanted to incorporate a forearm tattoo that I had gotten previously by a different artist. I provided some images and she designed a full color piece that I love. It took two sessions to complete. She checked to see how was I was doing throughout the sessions and let me know I could take breaks if I needed it. She also has excellent taste in music. I felt comfortable in the shop because of how clean everything was and because of the other artists working there. The other artists would come by to take a look at the work being done and let us know how much they liked the piece. I look forward to getting more work done by Desiree in the future.
