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."
