Yikes, don't know the name of who did my tattoo, she was very kind but this tattoo seems very bad. I got it on the 13th so it hasnt fully healed yet but just take a look for yourself. The skull on the left looks pretty ok but then the other 2 just look like blobs to me. I've contacted the place via their website so I'm still waiting to hear back if they can do something to fix this because I paid $260 for this!! edit 03/01/2026: ok I haven't heard back from them, and I also found out that this particular design was stolen from another tattoo artist, and I've added a photo from where they've stolen it from. So unfortunate that this popular studio would disappoint me this much.

I went in only to support my daughter who was suppose to get a tattoo with her Dad (my husband ) who recently passed.They were fast the studio itself is huge they were having a flash sale so I thought I would check.it out.It was not like any flash I have seen. The selection was amazing I found pieces of flash like I had never seen tortally unique .After picking out some designs I was given Austin.Austin is a saint ! Hes so kind so professional.but with such a n eye for detail .To say ir was the best experience I've ever had is an understatement. I am definitely coming back and he made me a customer for life.The care he took and his line work was superb.I have two pieces I treasure from Steve Smith. And these I will treat the same for fine line go nowhere else. The staff was nice and accommodating. The place is clean and huge and airy , comfortable. Dont sleep on this place its good. And dont overbook Austin I have a couple pieces I need done!! Thank you Austin you are a rare and baddie tattoo artist and human being.

I came here because I saw a flash promo on Instagram. They have a lot of artists and a large selection of flash tattoos. It’s a little bit like a tattoo factory (they seem to crank out a lot of flash tattoos), but I’m happy with the work Nina did. The studio was clean and Nina was very sweet and great at fine line work. I will say that their flash promos should say “starting from $40” because the piece I wanted was more expensive, but we were able to come to an agreement. I would probably go back for another flash tattoo but not for custom work.
