Moon and Mercury Tattoo

I’ve been looking to get this piece done for several years, but couldn’t find the right artist to take the idea up. Peter’s creativity was brilliant here - taking the idea of the four seasons, with some Japanese influence and putting it into a lower arm piece. He runs the place with his wife, who’s also lovely. The whole family is there including their two boys. He rocked this one in a single 8 hour sit. Good people, good energy, and lots of talent flowing through this place.

I got my first bigger piece from Kevin Koskela at Moon & Mercury this month. The atmosphere is welcoming and inviting when you first enter the shop, the lighting is softer which is really awesome and not jarring like most overhead lighting is in some shops, all of the artists are kind and friendly and make sure that you are comfortable from the get-go. There are snacks and water provided if you need or get lightheaded during your session. Kevin is very passionate about his work and constantly made sure that I was doing okay with the pain levels, and ensuring good quality work by going over color and linework for the fullest possible saturation. Cannot wait to work with him and this studio again in the future!

This place is BEAUTIFUL and so are the people who own it. I absolutely love my poke tattoo that Eelisha did today! She’s diligent with her work, and her family is the same way. The environment is very fresh and classy! All of these artist are amazing! Her husband Peter is one of the most talented artist I’ve ever met, and their sons are very talented as well! You would be making a mistake to not go here! Thank you to this brilliant family for opening such a beautiful tattoo shop on 57th in south hill. I’ll be coming back for more tattoos soon!

Amazing apothecary atmosphere transports you to another world as Peter Koskela and family put masterpieces to skin. I am getting a sleeve done with Peter and every piece we add is more amazing than the last. Every step Peter has been maticulous in design, fit and placement to ensure every piece moves with the body and follows natural movement. Every time Peter explains the work to be done and what to expect with tough areas which has always made me feel comfortable and cared for. I couldn't recomended anyone more for your tattoo needs.

This shop is everything. The vibe and energy are unmatched for a tattoo shop in our area. The art and friendships you will find here are priceless. Go meet this family of artists, you won't be sorry.

I can’t recommend this shop more! Great artists and highly professional results! I get no stop compliments on my sleeves and they have even won 1st place in a convention! From geometric/mandala designs to anime and stick and poke tattoos this place is WORTH it! Communication is excellent and the art will blow you away! Highly recommend!
