Choyce Ink Studio

The owner Drea, is an amazing human and artist. We have been working on a sleeve, and she’s done a one off for my friend and I, and her service, kindness and work all speak for themselves. Her hand is very light, and I could sit in the chair for hours while she tattoos, barely ever wincing in pain. I love chatting with her and hearing about her life as a mom and respect that she puts family first, and love how quickly she always communicates if something at home needs her attention and we need to start a bit later. She’s amazing, and if you’re not getting tattooed by her, you’re missing out! During one of their opening weeks, I also got a piercing by Noelle. Not surprising, she’s also amazing! Clearly Drea surrounds herself with talented and great humans! Noelle also communicates well, is very kind, and knows her stuff. I was internalizing panic as I haven’t gotten a piercing in a while and started second guessing my pain tolerance, and worried it was going to hurt more than I anticipated. But from the moment I walked in the shop, I was greeted so warmly, Noelle was very knowledgeable and that put me at ease. She did a conch, and the pain was maybe a 1. She’s not aggressive when she puts the jewelry in like some can be, very light handed and we worked together to make sure the placement was what I wanted. I felt comfortable speaking up, never felt rushed, and walked out very happy. I can’t recommend this shop enough!

Sterling is not just a tattoo artist. She’s a wizard with a needle, a mind reader with great taste, and the reason my skin has a personality now. She is why I will be covered in tattoos when I’m 80 and still acting like a hot girlllll. She’s done multiple pieces on me and every single one feels like a core memory. There is no one I trust more with my skin. She took a tattoo idea that had been floating in my head for years, just a vibe really, and somehow brought it to life perfectly. She turned my half sleeve into a full one and it was exactly what I wanted without me having to explain every little detail. It’s honestly wild how she just knows. She’s also done deeply personal memorial tattoos for me and she treats that kind of work with so much care and heart. We’ve had full therapy sessions mid-tattoo, cried together, laughed, and somehow she still creates flawless art while being a whole emotional support system at the same time. And let me say this about the studio because it matters. You walk in and it feels welcoming, cozy, and safe. No weird intimidating energy. No judgment. No too-cool-for-you vibes. Just real, down-to-earth people who make you feel like you belong the second you step through the door. It’s honestly such a breath of fresh air compared to some of the ego-filled shops I’ve stepped into in the past. Sterling doesn’t just tattoo you, she connects with you. She listens. She hypes you up. She creates from the heart and somehow makes you feel like the baddest version of yourself while doing it. I would let her tattoo me blindfolded and wouldn’t question a thing. She’s that good. If you can get in with her, do it. Then never let her go. I know I won’t.

Photos don’t capture the wonderful positive energy that Choyce Ink Studio has. The owner Drea is the sweetest and most insanely talented artist. She did 2 cover ups for me, and not only was work fantastic. But the whole experience was lovely. Everyone at the studio is so friendly and welcoming. The space is bright and impeccably clean. The whole experience was thoughtful and exactly what you would want when getting a tattoo. 10000/10 recommend!
