REVIEWS

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

RETIRED 

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