I would like to thank Milani for doing such a great job with my new tattoo. Anyone getting a tattoo for their first time or their tenth time, you need to go to INKMI Studio and you will have experience like no other. You will be so happy you did. First, the studio was cleanest I have ever been to. This not your typical tattoo shop. I have seven tattoos and INKMI is like no other tattoo shop that I have been to, (now I understand why INKMI is called a studio and not a shop or parlor). All other tattoo shops and parlors that I have used before were, get you in and get you out. INKMI is not that type of shop. Milani takes the time to make sure you get what you want. She used a tablet and took a photo of where I wanted the tattoo and placed the image over the area of where I wanted the tattoo. Then, she moved image up and down on the area, rotated the image so to see all different angles and sizes. This was new to me, but I really enjoyed being able to see the tattoo as if it was on my body. Milani wanted to make sure I liked the location, angle and size. Then she made the stencils (actual size, smaller and larger sizes) and placed each one on the body location. This was just to confirmed we both knew where, angle and size that was just right for this tattoo. This was my first time at a place where they used a topical numbing agent - it was amazing, no scratching feeling even over very sensitive areas. It felt like someone was using their finger and not needles. I actual fell asleep during part of the tattooing. Milani is very much about attention to detail. Milani looked at her work from every angle and different lighting, dabbing ink here and there, just to make sure the tattoo was complete. Milani is fantastic artist, very thorough, and takes pride in doing a great job to make sure you love the tattoo you’re receiving. I would like to say this was the best tattoo experience I have ever had. I would highly recommend Milani (INKMI Studio) to everyone wanting a tattoo. John C. Memorial Paw Print
I got three tattoos in one session with Milani, and it was a truly great experience. Her attention to detail is superb, and she consistently checked in to make sure I loved the designs. The studio room is also very cozy and welcoming! She patiently answered all my aftercare questions. Highly recommend
Milani did a phenomenal portrait of my best buddy. He was almost 17 when he passed and so it was important for me to find the perfect artist, and I did! It was a wonderful experience. She took time to review the design & was receptive to feedback, to ensure that I was happy with it before the inking started. During the tattoo, she was meticulous, gentle & was so nice to talk to. I can’t wait to have more ink done by her! 🤍
