My tattoo artist Greg was awesome! He came out in his underwear and a cowboy hat with a pony on a stick to make sure I felt comfortable 😉 Jokes aside Greg is great! He does amazing work and always makes sure he does what’s in the best interest of his clients! Thank you Greg!

I had an amazing experience with Greg! He took all the details I wanted for my tattoo and turned it into an incredible design that exceeded my expectations. The detail and artistry are amazing, and I’ve already received so many compliments on it. He made the whole process comfortable and was great to work with from start to finish. I absolutely love how it turned out and can’t wait to go back to finish the rest. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented tattoo artist!

My wife and I wanted to get our first tattoos in memory of our dogs. Greg P. was recommended to us by a co-worker who had been seeing him for their tattoo. I contacted Greg through Instagram and he responded super fast and was really excited about doing a memorial portrait of our first dog and and the paw print of our most recent one for me and a thin line silhouette for my wife. I sent him the pictures and explained what we wanted and when we arrived at the studio he had come up with an awesome design for my wife’s tattoo and had perfectly captured what I wanted for mine. Greg took the time to make us feel welcomed and explained everything that he was doing. It was a great experience and both of us plan on coming back to more tattoos done by Greg!

I couldn't be happier with my experience! From start to finish, the professionalism, attention to detail, and talent were top notch. Greg took the time to make sure everything was done how I wanted it, and the final results are amazing. What really stood out to me was that most tattoo artists I've spoke with aren't willing to take on unfinished work from an artist that up a disappeared, but Greg didn't hesitate. He was willing to rework and complete the tattoos and the difference is unbelievable. He treated them like they were his own and made then into something I am proud to wear. The shop is clean, welcoming, and comfortable, and the entire process was smooth. You can tell Greg genuinely cares about his craft and his clients. I constantly get compliments on my tattoos, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality work. Thanks Greg, for bringing my vision to life and giving new life to tattoos that I wasn't sure would ever be finished the way that I hoped!

Absolutely thrilled with my tattoo! I called around 5ish and spoke with Dani, which was totally fate because the style I wanted (neo traditional) is one of the many styles that he specializes in. I didn't make it to the shop until around 6:30 and Manuel was doing a tattoo on someone but took a break to call Dani who promptly returned to the shop from his home. I brought my own design, but had arrived with the intentions of potentially getting something else just small and simple, similar to flash art, to kind of test the waters but immediately Dani and I clicked about my design and we were in business. Dani said it would take about 3 hours and quoted me $300, but I'm pretty sure his hourly is actually $150 so that was really cool of him. It actually only took 2 hours from design review to walking out, including 2 smoke breaks. He kept his station really clean, his hand was very steady and he's not heavy handed at all. He kept great conversation also, which for me is something I have to have during a tattoo session, but I could tell in silent moments he was really respectful of them and I didn't feel awkward at all if we had 5-10 minutes of some silence. All around it was a really outstanding experience. The next time I come up on a couple hundred I will absolutely be hitting Dani up! I'm still so shocked at how vibrant he got those colors, absolutely gorgeous thank you so much!
