Kim is awesome. She turned my post-it sketch into art, was super nice, and has a beautiful style. Total pro.

I had an amazing experience with Frans Vincent. This was the first time I was getting a tattoo and I really needed some guidance with the design. Frans was really co-operative and very welcoming. We brainstormed the idea for a long time and he only applied the tattoo when I was completely satisfied with the design. He is an amazing artist and tattoo turned out to be wonderful. I would recommend anyone to choose Frans Vincent as their artist.

Everyone at the shop was so friendly - my girlfriend and I enjoyed all the good vibes. Melissa was amazing to work with. I really loved her artistry and creating a piece that fit my body. I couldn't be happier with my half-sleeve. Her line work and detail are top-notch. I can't wait to work with her again for my next piece!

Couldn't have made a better choice than to fly here from Michigan to get my first tattoo. Wanted something special to celebrate my Filipino heritage and my man, Jeff Quintano, absolutely hit it out of the park. Thanks to Orly and his entire crew for the hospitality, comfortable atmosphere, food, and vibes (thanks Shaka). Will definitely see Jeff again to finish up this sleeve and, from what I can tell, every single artist here is very talented. Highly recommend.

Jordan was the absolute best. I lost my son last year at the age if 21. Jordan did a beautiful tattoo in honor of him. Thank you for everything!
