Best dudes and the hardest tattoos in Charlotte. You really can’t lose making an appt with any of the fine folks here.

They are true professionals and won’t waste your time or money. Mikey and the crew are super kind and always bring the most chill of vibes. If you want a good tattoo. And you want it to last. Just book with these guys and save yourself some time. 10 out of 5 Stars.
