I was visiting Philly and I wanted a tattoo that represented philly. I talked to Casey on the phone and he helped me figure out what i wanted and sketched out the perfect tattoo within 20 minutes on the phone. When I met him in person he was super nice and chill and made the experience easy and simple. Wonderful person. Would definitely come back for Casey.

Todd made my first tattoo a blast. Made sure I got everything I wanted and kept making sure I was comfortable while he was doing it. My tattoo is literally exactly how I always pictured it in my mind and I couldn’t be happier. Everything was super clean as well.

I'm going to get my bridge done, but I was super happy to find out that the same person who did my belly bottom is still there. This made me feel very comfortable because I have anxiety so bad. It's been over ten years but I can't wait to get in there.

Todd was amazing and explained everything in detail. He informed me of different things about tattooing on people of different complexions. He is very knowledgeable. I will definitely go back to him.

Wait until he finish the tattoo he was doing when i first got their. Now it's like 7:15pm an i haven't started yet. Excuse me can i have my deposit back. Thank you. So unprofessional an definitely unorganized.

Todd was very helpful in helping me to plan my first tattoo. He was patient and executed my idea exactly how I wanted it. I love my new body art. Definitely will return here when I visit again.
