I need a cover up. I haven't been to Castro Tatoo, but I feel safe going there. I have Huge anxiety attacks, I believe I'll be comfortable there. Thank you

Great shop. Can’t say enough good things about Josh Katz. Great artist and very nice dude with a great vibe. Had my second tattoo with him and both were great experiences.
