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.

Now this place doesn’t have just good customer service, it’s a vibe too! All the tattoo artists and piercers are genuine, charismatic, patient but eager to get you right! My first tattoo wasn’t painful at all, they made conversation throughout which was so empathetic and before I knew it, I was all done and my tattoo is amazing and well healed. I got one piercing and came back from another and I’ll be back!

Just got my first tattoo done here, the artist vee was really cool and understanding. For it being my first time being there, I had a really great experience. The vibes were great and both me and my friend definitely felt we were in good hands. 10/10 would recommend!
