I'm delighted with the small piece Amberly did for me. Her linework and shading is exceptional, they've earned a repeat customer out of me. Other artists' work that I saw was phenomenal as well. Very comfortable and welcoming environment

Best tattoo shop in the Midwest, my wife and I have multiple pieces done from three artists there. John the owner does so much for the community and gives back in the best ways possible. Halle which is my artist is so creative and puts so much work into each piece and it never feels like a copy and paste tattoo, it’s a genuine piece of hand drawn art, done with love and care. If you’re going to spend some money on your body art and want to make it look beautiful COME HERE!
