Erin was AMAZING!!! She masterfully tattooed my side with care, precision, and a buttload of talent. I was a little nervous because I have stretch marks on my side, but she listened to what I wanted and delivered! Her lines are SO CLEAN! I will be going to her again in the future!

I got my first tattoo ever done by Erin immediately after my divorce in 2023. I was nervous and emotionally all over and Erin made it super easy and painless. It wasn’t a complicated tattoo, but it was important to me and Erin took the work seriously regardless of complexity. I’m working on ideas for my next and I know who I will be going to.

Erin is amazing! She’s completed 2 pieces for me, and each experience has been great! She’s responsive and provides a virtual mockup at the studio so you can clearly see how the tattoo will look once shaded or colored. Her light hand makes the healing process super easy too. I highly recommend her!

9 Lives Tattoo is my #1 shop. Erin is my artist and is amazing to work with-super cool and very professional. Everyone in the shop is very friendly and welcoming. Rates are fair and pretty much industry standard. You won't go wrong with this shop.

I came to Erin specifically because I was looking for someone with a certain style and also appreciation for the project I was taking on. I searched for years and am SO HAPPY I waited until I found her. She is a dream come true. She rocked out an entire leg sleeve in 4 sessions. She is professional, collaborative, and takes very good care to maintain a clean environment and a healthy healing process. You feel like you're chatting with an old friend. On my other tattoos elsewhere I've just popped in headphones and gone to my happy place, but I enjoy her company too much to zone out here. (Plus they always have the best music playing). You can tell that everyone at 9 Lives loves what they do and take pride in their work. I will never go anywhere else again. Keep doing your thing, I'll keep coming back. I've got plenty of real estate still 😉
