Vism Studio

This past weekend I got my first tattoo by Ria ( @tattooist_kimria) in honor of my dog Hailey’s passing 1 year ago. I felt like I got extremely lucky finding Ria, and the timing of it all worked so well that I was able to get set up on the 1-year anniversary of her passing. It was everything I could have asked for, and more. I had been to a couple of places to get quotes, and they didn’t really sit there and take the time to understand this tattoo was really important to me, not only that it’s my first, but that it was in memoriam of my dog of 15 years. I got a response quickly after submitting my information through VISM’s website and began working on the scheduling and detail of the tattoo, sending photos over to Ria and her team for review. Ria came up with multiple designs and sent those, I think I knew in a matter of seconds because one of the photos felt like I could see Hailey's eyes again, it was honestly crazy. We worked through the final details, with Ria allowing me to make changes to the certain areas of the design, and she got it dialed in and sent over a few days before and it was perfect. I got to the studio and immediately felt comfortable in the space. Ria was great at working with my – this is my first tattoo and I went chest, too which all my friends built up that it would be painful. I was in the chair for maybe 2.5 hours total, didn’t have to break at all. Ria was great at checking in with my throughout, but those 2.5 hours allowed me time to think back through the 15 years of Hailey and I’s time together. It was truly a one of a kind experience, and one that I had been hoping to have with my first tattoo since I though of the idea. Ria was great in everyway and VISM Studio’s support and direction on how to prepare for the tattoo, payment process, and all that was easy to understand. I highly recommend Ria if you are looking to memorialize your pup or kitty – I can’t wait to see the finished result here in a month once it is fully healed. It’s still so crazy how she got Hailey’s eyes!

I wanted to start off by saying my experience was so wonderful! I couldn’t be happier! Everything was so easy and very professional! Vism Studio is gorgeous and I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable it is! Very clean and calm environment! Ria my artist made my day with her sweet and kind demeanor! Not to mention her undeniable talent! I’m ABSOLUTELY in love with my tattoo! Ria made my pups come alive on my skin!! I’m feel very blessed and honored to walk around with this tattoo! I would recommend Vism Studio and Ria 100%.

Ria’s talent is undeniable! She did such remarkable work representing my beloved cat Snow. She gave me multiple designs options before my appointment, all of them were in the shape of the paw print that I provided to her and Snow’s face was just perfect. She also made sure to redo the parts that I asked her to revise. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a tattoo artist who knows how to catch every details of your furry friend!
