You will find this shop on St. Mary's across from the Squueze Box. The whole shop is a piece of art. The decor is incredible and the shop was spotless. There is artwork hanging on the walls by various artists. I went in to get a piece done to honor my father who passed recently. Eric was very helpful and worked efficiently. I cannot stress how clean everything was which is always a plus when getting tattooed. Eric drew up my design and got to work. From entering the shop to leaving was only 2 hours. They typically aren't open Sundays but they did work on a few people who came in while I was there. Everyone was very professional and are all incredibly talented artists. There was a shelf with tons of books on tattooing for edification of the staff which tells me they work hard to be better always. I will be back for more work.
Kelly is a seasoned artist. This is my fourth tattoo with him. I give him a concept, and he comes up with a very unique and wonderful finished product! As long as he’s inking, I’ll keep coming back.
Kelly did an absolutely amazing job on my memorial tattoo!! I really appreciated his input which made it so much better than I originally envisioned. The shop had such a cool vibe and everyone was really nice. This is definitely the place to go if you’re looking to get a tattoo done!
