My husband and I have had ink done by the owner Chato. He's extremely nice, great tattoo artist. His studio is very clean and the vibe is great.

I came for their Friday the 13th event that they were throwing and I’m going to come here for every tattoo possible now. First, the studio is super super clean!! Honestly, one of the best studios that I’ve been to. There isn’t super loud music playing that you have to basically yell to hear each other. Each artist cleans their station thoroughly after each session. They throw away any extra trash like the packaging that might be around. Not only does the front desk, Oliver, greet you and make conversation with you, but the artist also do too! Oliver is literally THE most patient person I have ever met at a tattoo shop. They’ll ask you what tattoo you’re getting so they can get an idea on how you want it to be, and ask you multiple times if it’s okay. Even though I went for the event, they were still super professional even though they had worked 8+ hours. Maria is also the nicest, and she makes sue that you’re comfortable and offers you water. She was so happy to see everyone coming to shop and encouraged everyone to not only follow the shop instagram page but also Oliver’s artist page too!! You can definitely tell that she is proud to be part of the shop and of Oliver’s work as an artist. I had met Fernando that did my boyfriends and I’s tattoo. He was very professional, and despite working long hours and meeting so many people, he still made conversation with both of us throughout the session. I absolutely love my new tattoo and my boyfriend left giddy with both of his. Fernando gave us his opinion on where to place them, and showed us his work that he’s done before. He specializes in realism and in black/grey tattoos, you can really tell this is his passion. We even met Chato, the owner of the shop too!! You can really tell that everyone that works there is proud to be part of it but also loved it there. The vibes overall were amazing, my boyfriend and I felt very welcomed to be there that we’re thinking of going back soon for another one after our vacation next month. I forgot to mention that is latino owned and they have such amazing artwork throughout the studio made from different mediums like burned wood, acrylic on canvas, acrylic on shoes. 11/10 the experience here, I highly highly recommend people to come here!!!:)
