Absolutely fantastic studio with even better artists. I personally get tattooed by Kay and have for years. She’s a wonderful tattoo artist and a delight to be tattooed by. She always gives me exactly what I want and will spend as much time as I need discussing the design, placement, etc. She takes her time to ensure I’m getting the best tattoo possible. She is also willing to work with my budget and still give me phenomenal tattoos. There is no one I trust as much as Kay when it comes to tattoos, she’s experienced, knowledgeable, professional and patient. If you’re looking for a consistent & extraordinary tattoo artist, you’ll find her at Vega Studios.
I could not recommend this shop or Kaitlyn specifically enough. I’ve been going to her for several years now and she has done so many of my pieces, most recently my entire stomach, and every experience has been nothing short of amazing. Kaitlyn has always been warm and welcoming from our very first appointment together. I’ve always felt very comfortable and heard when explaining what I’d like to get done. Even when I have a vague concept she somehow delivers an incredible piece. I also love her placement suggestions and creative vision. What keeps me coming back is her incredible work and consistency. She continues to deliver great work again and again. All my pieces have healed beautifully, and I’ve never once left an appointment disappointed. She also has the lightest touch known to man which is just the cherry on top for me. If you’re looking for a talented artist who truly cares about her clients and their visions book with Kaitlyn. I trust her completely and am always looking forward to my next piece!!
10/10 tattoo experience. This was my third tattoo from Kaitlyn (blksheep.tattoos) but my first time at this studio. It was very clean and well-appointed. Kaitlyn was amazing as usual, prepared, on time, and i left with exactly what i wanted for a fair price. I got my sternum done and she actually brought a flannel from home for me to wear during the tattoo so i was comfortable and covered, and put up a screen in front of us so i wasnt shirtless and visible to the lobby. I rlly appreciate getting tattooed by her bc she puts a lot of thought into your comfort during the appointment. We had a lot of fun and basically yapped the whole time. Great studio, amazing artist, can’t say enough good about it.
