Pay up front

First interaction and service was great, went back due to this first interaction… was quoted 1 price, after tattoos were done price doubled. 2 small tattoos and a big price at the end. Feel like we were taken advantage of by our own canadian artist. And unfriendly interaction on second round. Girl was great! Canadian dude not so much …

Safe, professional, friendly

My friend and I visited this shop after it was recommended to us by a local friend and we had a great experience from start to finish. We met friends from our hotel who have returned year after year. Both artists we worked with had a good vibe and the whole process was smooth. Definitely recommend.

Great shop

Very welcoming and accommodating. Booked an appointment with Kirk for two people to get tattooed. He was quick and fun to work with. The whole shop helped out in some way and everyone worked great together.

Ears pierced and tattoo

I went in to get my third holes done on my ears and they were all so nice. Studio was extremely clean and you could tell they took their jobs serious but so friendly. I walked out feeling so comfortable with their service I booked a tattoo for the follow week. I’ve been holding off on this tattoo until I found a good artist. I knew I found the place. I showed Luis what I wanted and he tweaked it a little and did the BEST fine line dreamcatcher I could have ever expected. Highly recommend swinging in if you have been wanting work done. Thanks to all the staff for a great experience.
