Had my first session with Juanky from 11 AM to 4:30 PM, and I am completely blown away! Juanky is a master when it comes to geometric mandalas—his precision, symmetry, and dotwork are on another level. The studio vibe was incredible, making it super easy to just sit back and let him do his thing. Even after a 5.5-hour session, the time flew by because of how comfortable and skilled he is. This is only session one and my arm already looks phenomenal. I cannot wait for session two!!!!!

I recently got my first tattoo—a Hamsa design on my left forearm—done by Daiana, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She did an exceptional job, and the final result exceeded my expectations. The shop itself is very clean, and the entire staff maintains a high level of professionalism. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone considering getting a tattoo.

I highly recommend getting a tattoo with these artists! I found Jonathan Mendez after seeing him compete at a tattoo show in Kissimmee. I booked a free consultation where we met and discussed my ideas for my first tattoo. I wanted my tattoo to be very detailed and realistic with how it looked. I submitted reference photos to the team and was very happy with the concept that Jonathan shared with me before my first appointment. My first session was a full eight hours. Since this was my first tattoo, I am thankful for all the advice they gave me - avoiding the sun, coming in with a full stomach, etc. We took breaks only when we needed them, and I left my first session with a beautiful tattoo. I returned for additional sessions to add more color, shadows, and dimension that made my tattoo just continue to look better over time.

I had my sleeve done at this studio, and I can honestly say the experience ended up being amazing. Even when I wasn’t happy with my experience at first, the owner of this studio is incredibly professional and handled everything with patience, respect, and genuine care that you don’t normally receive elsewhere. Instead of brushing off my concerns, he listened to me, made thoughtful adjustments, and made sure I walked out feeling confident and proud of my arm. That level of professionalism and customer service really stood out to me from the owner Camilo and his wife Stephanie! The artist he chose for me designed and executed everything perfectly on schedule. They have a really good diverse team of artists. The studio is clean, welcoming, and comfortable. You can tell they truly care about their clients and their craft. I’m so grateful for how they handled everything, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and artists who stand behind what they do.

I had an amazing experience getting my tattoo done by Luisk Osorio! From the moment I walked in, he made me feel completely comfortable and took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted. Their attention to detail and creativity really brought my vision to life — the final piece turned out even better than I imagined. The shop was spotless, professional, and had a great atmosphere. What really stood out was how patient and careful Luisk was throughout the entire process, making sure everything was perfect. I’ve already received so many compliments on my tattoo, and I can’t wait to come back for my next one. Highly recommend to anyone looking for beautiful, high-quality work and an artist who truly cares about their craft!
