EXCELLENT Based on 564 reviews Posted on Meagan AshleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tony was amazing and super friendly! Great work, great prices and a VERY clean shop. Can’t beat it!Posted on F ATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Allllllrighty so here’s the tea! 10/10 across the board! A few years ago I was a walk in for a throat tattoo, it was a great experience, but this past week I got the chance to really get a better view of this shop. For the past 3 days I was a model for Andrey Kolbasin and Matt Spivak on a very large tattoo. From the get-go I’ve had nothing but positive things to say. Communication about my appointment was easy and put my mind at ease, especially since it was such a big piece of art. Andrey and Matt always made sure I was ok and comfortable And we had great conversation. Tony (the shop owner) was and is incredibly funny and we clicked fast! He always made me feel welcomed and very comfortable in the shop! Shane, another artist in the shop, chatted with me when he had time and helped distract me from pain. He’s super awesome and so is his work. Our chats definitely pulled me through on the last day! Todd and Joel were also very nice and always said hi and smiled. Everyone in there is great! Thanks guys! 🩷🖤Posted on SheaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with amazing people, very clean and professional environment.
