I love haunted hand tattoo!! They were so flexible with me and were so helpful with fixing a botched tattoo of mine. Such great energy and vibes in the studio! Highly recommend

I have gotten several tattoos from Taylor at Cape Fear and they are phenomenal! I was looking for my tattoo spot after moving to the area a couple years ago and it’s safe to say I know where I’ll continue to go! Clean and kind space!
