Natalie was the designer for my 2 tattoos that I have done in one day. She was very friendly nice told me what she doing when she stated working. Her work was top 100% stars for me. These tattoos was my first time doing it. This tattoos is very clean and on top of each of the job work. I going bad for my 3 tattoos once I find the design I want. My husband is going have one done by Natalie to here so. I just want thank Natalie for your great work. Your felled my heart with joy. The tattoos honor my dad that just passed away this year.ty
I am giving 5 stars to Steven for fixing a tattoo that another artist in the shop did back in January. Thank you Steven. You did great. With that being said I want to talk about my experience with Javi and Natalia. Starting with Javi. So today 2/21/26 i originally had my touch up appointment with Natalia at 2pm. Upon walking in i noticed Natalia wasn’t there and Javi told me she left to get something to eat. I told Javi that I have an appointment with her and I don’t want to sit in the lobby for 2 hours like I did the first time with her. For some reason Javi thought that was funny. Its definitely wasn’t btw. But I told Javi that I was unacceptable that she did that to me and I don’t want to experience that again. Javi then proceeds to call her to come back to the shop. Steven noticed I was upset and to break up the tension he complimented my hair and then asked to see the tattoo. I showed him to tattoo and told him what I didn’t like and he agreed and I asked if he could instead fix it instead of Natalia. He agreed. It came out amazing Now Natalia. She’s seems like a sweet girl. She actually did some small butterfly tatts on my arm in November 2025 and they turn out great. Unfortunately the tattoo she did on my hand January 2026 was no good. I hated it. There were areas that were not tattooed in, it was like she forgot to color it in. There was areas where she tattoo out of the lines. And an areas where the tattoo was colored in patchy. I’m not saying she is a bad artist but this tattoo was not good work. Below I attached the tattoo she did and also how it looks now that Steven fixed it.
I went in to get a small tattoo on my forearm of a bird. Mia was the artist. She did such a great job. Very light touch , didn't hurt at all. Healed beautifully. Loved the music that was being played during my appointment as well. I'm definitely going to recommend to everyone. I will be going back for more soon.
