Nathan Garcia/Moresoultattoo did my tattoo and the experience with him was awesome and the tattoo is truly a work of art! For booking, he is very well organized, responds to emails and gives you a form to complete that provides details of the process, an area to give him your ideas, and also provides after-care instructions. From when I walked in the door, he made me feel super comfortable and the drawing he had come up with was a perfect match.. The six hours I spent with him were a breeze- he asked what music I wanted to listen to, made sure I was okay and had a great bedside manner. Of most importance, the tattoo was beautiful and I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for a tattoo! Even after the tattoo I had a question and he promptly responded to me. What a great guy and great artist. Thanks Nathan!

Scott Cook did my tattoo. The entire experience was fun, affordable, and Scott had the best bedside manner of any artist I've met. It was a rib piece, and I get compliments on it everytime I'm at the pool.

I could not be happier with the service that I was provided. Excellent staff, care and decent pricing. By appointment only, but they will give you an estimate, and a consultation before you set up an appointment on any work you want to get done. My artist was Scott, and I highly recommend him. Both skilled and fun to talk with as you get your work done.

They are very clean, well organized, sanitized, and tidy for all of the Covid rules and regulations. Everything about the office, lobby, and the whole building is very well kept. Nathan Garcia did my tattoo and he was extremely thorough, took his time, made me feel comfortable, and was very informative/knowledgeable.
He was the perfect person for me to see for my first tattoo. 100/10 recommend him & this shop!! :)

Amazing amazing work! In love with my new tattoo done by Scott. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone. The wait is definitely worth it! Give the shop a call and make an appointment you won’t regret it.

Nathan Wilson and his assistant Becky set up a consultation with me over the phone just to cancel it the day before because he was focusing on "larger projects" and would not do my tattoo. I find that to be incredibly unprofessional and rude. I don't believe that was the real reason I was turned away because I was asking for a fairly large thigh tattoo. They do beautiful work but it's not worth it if the artist and business are unprofessional with handling their clients. I'm disappointed to say the least but I'm glad I didn't waste any more of my time.

Went in on Tuesday for my first big tattoo, Brian did an amazing job. Was able to take pictures I liked and combined them all into a beautiful tattoo. I love it so much. Went above and beyond my expectations. 100% recommend. Definitely will be back for any future pieces
