Staff was friendly, shop was clean, Jorge ended up doing my tattoo, he worked with me and I was happy how the tattoo turned out from what I saw at the shop, once I got home and removed the wrap and was looking it over closely, I am missing a few things from the stencil, and two of the numbers on the clock I got are facing the wrong way. I sent multiple requests to the shop to contact me so we can discuss my concerns, it’s been a week and not one of my emails or requests has been answered, no response from the shop.
Super unprofessional!

First off, they are awesome! Don't let anyone tell you differently. Came in about an hour after they opened, talked with an artist and got a 3hr session same day. Awesome place, decent prices, great vibes from everyone there! Would give 10/5 if i could. Would recommend this place to everyone.

Great service with a really kind and knowledgeable staff. They drew up the perfect tattoo for me and was really friendly during the whole session. Let me take as many breaks or adjust as much as I needed. 10/10

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Stay away from this place. They charge $300 for supposed tattoo artists. I came in and the guy who I never actually got the name (and couldn’t speak English or Spanish ) was late for the appointment. Then when he finally sat to talk about the tattoo piece I tried to communicate with him but he just kept coming up with designs he was getting online. I showed him pictures and designs of what I wanted and I figured “well if he’s that expensive I’m sure he’ll design something great. Man was I in for a surprise.I learned a couple days later, expensive tattoo artist doesn’t equal better, he was nowhere near good. I seriously could have done a better job of an outline.
He basically created a design on his tablet and the printed out the stencil and placed it on my back which I liked but days later when the stencil washed away I realized the work he did was TERRIBLE. Omg and to top it off I called to cancel my next appointment and my appointment deposit is NON REFUNDABLE!! What a nightmare.

Fabian did my tattoo four months ago and I could not be happier! He was so particular and made sure it was perfect, but he was also extremely gentle and had a very light touch. My first tattoo from a different artist was SO painful but Fabian absolutely blew me away! Can’t wait to get more by him!

I reached out on October 21st to schedule an appointment for a tattoo to commemorate my unborn child on October 23rd. I never received a follow up and chalked it up as google error. That was until 10mins ago tonight when they not only message back to come by or call in, but I see they left me on read at 2:37PM October 21st despite google saying they typically reply within 1 day. Thanks for adding insult to injury, but I am no longer interested in your services and will let everyone I know know how your company treats people.

Got my first ever tattoo here a few weeks ago from Ivan. Great experience. The guy is a fantastic dude as well as an incredible artist. I highly recommend this place and will be seeing him again if I decide to get more tattoos down the road. Also, they treat you like family here - the place is just awesome :)
The pics I attached are when I first got it and today (roughly 3-4 weeks later)

Longer than usual wait 2 hr + , but no big deal. Service was alright and we got an amazing girl for our 4 1/2 month olds piercings, we got Aloe, she was incredibly nice, and did amazing!

Had my piercings done here and returned for the initial jewelry change.
There can be a bit of a wait and parking is kinda limited so, anticipate a wait. Everyone has to scan a QR code outside to sign in. It doesn't ever work for my phone, at all. Nor does it for half the people I've seen try during my two visits; it's more of a pain than helpful.
Couldn't speak towards their tattooing side other than to say you can make an appointment for a consultation whereas piercings seem to only be walk-ins.

They do great work but overprice for simple tattoos. Unless you’re getting artwork done by the artist, I don’t think it’s worth it if all they’re gonna do is print a stencil and trace it.
