Been meaning to post a review on the shop for a while. Angel did my half sleeve, a photo-realistic acoustic guitar with lyrics and a trash polka style. It was my first tat and Angel was great. I get tons of compliments on the work and my experience was easy from start to finish. The blues still pop against the black-and-gray work. Looks awesome.

Started getting my entire leg sleeve there. Such an amazing and positive atmosphere! They make you feel welcome and comfortable. I definitely recommend everyone check them out! Angel works wonders and the rest of the staff are so positive and polite it’s amazing! I would definitely recommend checking out their website and their instagram. Very talented artist!
