REVIEWS

 "One of the best tattoo experiences I've ever come across... Clean, Comfortable and Friendly... have recommended over and over again.

Alfie and Margie...will work with you on every detail of your piece - big or small - every possible nuance will be spot on.

​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."

 "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." 

RETIRING

• After 25+ years in our original location, the new owner of the building let us know that he would be turning our studio into offices for his construction business. It wasn't practical to relocate (being close to retirement) so we retired in May 2018.  
• Many Thanks to our clients over the years  - it was great to meet and work with everyone!
