5 stars isn't enough for Vu at Thousand Cranes Tattoo. He did a massive cover-up over a 15-year-old tribal tattoo on my back and I couldn't be happier. I was nervous about whether it could even be covered, but Vu's design work and skill are on another level - The dragon, scales and the red maple leaves completely erased the old ink. The shop is super clean, professional, and Vu makes you feel comfortable through those long sessions. We still have a few more sessions to go to finish it, but I already love it and get compliments everywhere I go. True artist and can't recommend Vu enough.

The artists at Thousand Cranes are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their craft. They use modern tattooing techniques and provide excellent aftercare guidance to ensure the best possible results. My artist, Lauren, and the studio owner, Vu, were both welcoming, patient, and attentive throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality truly stand out. Their professionalism, artistry, and dedication to their clients make Thousand Cranes a standout studio. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking exceptional tattoo work and an outstanding overall experience.

I had such an amazing experience with Vu! From the moment I walked in, I felt completely comfortable and welcomed. Vu is not only incredibly talented, but also friendly and easy to talk to. He already took the time to make sure everything was perfect, and the final tattoo turned out even more beautiful than I imagined. I couldn’t be more happier. The shop itself is absolutely stunning, super clean stylish and such a great atmosphere. The entire staff is warm, professional, and genuinely friendly, which made the whole experience even better. I can’t wait to come back in the future. Highly recommend Vu And this shop to anyone looking for a dope tattoo and an amazing experience.

Shoutout to Vu! Just got a tattoo done by him and it came out amazing! I shared the idea of what I was looking for and he executed 100%! The whole process from start to finish was smooth and comfortable. Vu was super easy and fun to talk to, and he also gave me a gift box which included aftercare instructions. Studio itself is also really nice. Can’t think of anything negative to say. Would definitely recommend!
