- Realism and portrait work depends heavily on reference quality — clean, well-lit source photos make the biggest difference.

Danny G has made me a big fan of his work and shop. I’d recommend my friends to get work from him and any of the artists under the roof of cry later tattoo! I’m extremely happy with his work and this is just the beginning of the relationship. Clean shop clean work and Super gentleman, professional and all around a “nice guy”. I’ll post more photos as my leg gets filled up. I’m just smitten by his work! I also got a Cowgirl from Big Q (Jordan C) I’m so stoked about her work, style and just all around FUN art she does. I even got some custom dog portraits made my her for my furry monsters!
Cry Later Tattoo was such a great experience from start to finish. Brandon was very professional and responsive through email, which made booking and planning super easy. I gave my artist full creative freedom, and Danny absolutely crushed it—his attention to detail and skill really showed. The shop atmosphere was comfortable and clean. I’ve already booked another session.
I go here to see Brandon and he is my tattoo bestie angel. Very professional, great artist, clean- all around great experience i always leave happy. If you want to pay someone to hurt your for hours, choose brandon, I highly recommend. Also Tina's cool.
