WHAT'S IN A NAME? - Marks of the Spark Tattoo

Tattoos ('marks') represent an aspect of an individual's inner self ('spark')

FROM REVIEWS

 "One of the best tattoo experiences I've ever come across. The shop is kept like a doctors office. Clean, Comfortable and Friendly... Alfie and Margie will work with you on every detail of your piece - big or small... Don't worry about lingering for a walk in, you will have to make an appointment often weeks or months in advance. Well worth it.  Have recommended over and over again..."

 "This shop is wonderful... I brought in pictures with ideas and Alfie was able to put it together into a tattoo better than I expected.  He is a wonderful artist."
