I’ve been going to Chad since 2019. I get compliments on my tats everywhere I go. He’s comforting and delivers the best 👍

The most perfect tattoo experience I could've asked for. Sher was amazing. I came on my birthday with my best friend to get tattoos done, everyone was so kind and they made us feel so welcomed and valued, and heard us out completely. 10/10 all around
