Jacob was the best. This was one of the best tattoo experiences I have ever had. Thank you!! I lost my dog of 15 years and he gave him back!!

Absolutely amazing experience. Jacob was professional, clean, and incredibly talented. My tattoo came out even better than I imagined. I am constantly getting compliments on my tattoo. Would recommend Jacob to anyone!

So I went in one night after one to may and put a deposit on Mario to design a custom piece with remnants of the real item and he kept me updated on how it was coming through out the week that he drew it on his iPad and it's a basic drawning so keep that in mind, so I was kinda sceptical but if you go look at his insta @ink_hussle you can see his style and he's talent. So come along and get your new tattoo or piercing here I will say if you are expecting quick response he might take a minute to reply, he's an artist so have patience they have a job and when they lock in, they lock in and all thought process is devoted to what task they are tackleing, Mario is a great conversationist will keep you entertained, great experience, well mannered, 100% cleanliness open ears too, any bs going on he will give advice, enough about that... So I walked in it's just big enough for 4-5 artist and 1 back room for piercings with a curtain to be doing their thing, the tattoo chair is comfortable, will accommodate any ask if in their power, so Mario took his time with placement we tried 3-4 time with different sizes and different warps to make it form well to my forearm, so we got the stencil laid on and then he got to work, he is super light handed but I will say when he needs to lay it in, to drop that ink in the right spot and to reach the shading he needs it will be some discomfort, but only when he needs too, I promise.. So we both agreed on some on the fly changes to make it pop, he was thinking it but I beat him to the punch but I said what about a shadow and my man delivered on that, (if I get it wrong I'm sorry bud), herb made the suggestion of some white hi lights to give it that last special touch of realism, and he is so dedicated to his clients we started at 5-6 pm and didn't finish till 2:30-3 am we took what I want to say 3 breaks but if you need more you can, they offer all aftercare treatment products and give a flyer out on how to take care of your new tattoo or piercing or if you decide on both and they did offer numbing cream not sure if it is free of needs to be paid for but if you need it, they got it, this group of people are really down to earth and will level with you, and won't do whatever just cause they could use the money, lady and her daughter walked in and the piercer said no I'm not doing a industrial on your ear, gave her other options but they ended up leaving and she told us she didn't have the anatomy for her body to accept it, shows character for sure and I will say this tattoo ment a lot to me and I just left Mario and God have the time they needed to make it what it is I'm so obsessed with the new tattoo... He did so good he quoted me a decent price want to say it was 450-500
