Went to go get my tattoo done by an awesome artist by the Name of Chris! Super welcoming and detailed orientated! He did my forearm of a Gengar evolution and it was a cover up of a smaller tattoo I had but it came out so awesome 🖤 if you want some awesome tattoos ask for chris 🤘

Chris did an incredible job helping me select the size and placement of my tattoo idea. He also has such a light hand. That was the least painful tattoo I've ever gotten! In love with the final product!

Got tattooed by Devin Espinoza and wish he would’ve told me whether he could accurately replicate the design before getting started. I asked if he could do exactly as pictured and ended up getting a temu version of what I wanted. Make sure your artist can do exactly what you want before getting started!
