They really did a great job. This is my first time at the studio as I have just moved here. Nelson was amazing and the studio had a really good vibe with great snacks and very clean environment.

I recently got a tattoo done by Che and it was seriously one of the best tattoo experiences I’ve ever had. I found Che Ink on Instagram and absolutely fell in love with one of her flash tattoos and had to have it. The shop is incredibly clean and modern and you can tell all of the artists are passionate about what they do. I felt so comfortable the whole time and the piece turned out better than I could’ve ever imagined. It has quickly become one of my favorite tattoos and I will definitely be back to support this team of artists.

Love my tattoo! Nelson was very polite, talented, and professional. The rest of the artists and Che Ink were friendly as well. My tattoo turned out great. I was particularly impressed with the design process and how well my tattoo healed after.

I had a wonderful experience with Che at Che ink studio. I absolutely loved the flash design I chose, and it was hand-drawn- I also don’t think she reuses them. When I arrived Che had already printed the stencils in 3 different sizes, she prepped the skin with lotion before even placing it, and was overall extremely detail-oriented. Throughout my experience it was clear she was most concerned with creating a beautiful piece that would last and less about speed. She was also very knowledgeable with placement and worked with me, even considering additional tattoos in the future when placing this one. Che was very friendly and personable, and concerned with my comfort- she checked in with me throughout the session and offered some type of numbing cream (didn’t use it but the option was thoughtful). She also used a liquid second skin that came off in the shower that I loved- it held up through a 108 sun salutations yoga in which I absolutely sweated my ass off, so I could go right back to being active. She was very reasonably priced as well. I love my piece, I can tell it will age beautifully, and I plan to go back and work with her in the future. Bonus- she has an adorable, sweet chihuahua. Thank you Che!!

Robert is a very good artist! Easy to talk to. Since I’m a trucker it was great getting a FaceTime consultation of what I wanted and where. The shop is a great vibe with excellent people working there. Will definitely be returning to this shop for all future work. He colored the reaper flower and did the line work for my new tattoo color is coming in three weeks will post update❤️
