My experience was 10/10 everyone was very friendly. I went in for a piercing, and Sarah's service and professionalism were incredible. I'm super happy thank you!

The tattoo came out really good. Our artist Brandon was super cool and made us feel very comfortable. He was always very helpful and engaging with how to treat the tattoo and just the ideas surrounding the tattoo itself. Will definitely be back !
