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.
- 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.
- Calendars tend to book several weeks out — reach out as early as possible if you have a target date.

I absolutely LOVE my tattoo and friend does also! Ge was amazing to work with! He was extremely patient with my friend and I! We got matching tattoos I will have to post a picture soon! He went above and beyond for literally everything! I can’t wait to get more work done by him! I can not express enough how AMAZINGLY TALENTED he is! It is by far the best tattoo I have ever gotten! If you’re looking for an amazing tattoo with great vibes this is the place!
Xavier did a fantastic job with tattooing my family and I (six of us). He took his time with each of us, brainstorming to bring our vision of what we wanted to life!! Everyone was completely satisfied with our tattoos. The environment was very clean and relaxing. His experience and expertise goes without saying.
Update: Got another tattoo from Ge, it’s healing great after a week. He turned the cave art I wanted into a beautiful tattoo-appropriate design. I got my second tattoo from Ge and it was a great experience. I was pretty picky about the art and he revised it multiple times to my satisfaction. (A previous review said that they don't do custom art--I did have photos of my cat's face, but I didn't want a photorealistic tattoo, and Ge created the art. IDK if they do art from scratch but I would be quite surprised if they didn't.) The tattoo itself looks fantastic two months later and the whole experience was very good. He also did a small touch up for free (it only needed a tiny adjustment due to losing some pigment during healing). The price is quite reasonable for the quality and location.
