This was by far the BEST experience I’ve ever had at a tattoo shop. It put the other shops to shame and I wasn’t even upset with those😂. I would definitely recommend this place, 1000%. The artist who tattooed me was Dean. And he was phenomenal. So friendly and SUCH attention to detail. It’s already become my favorite tattoo!

My first time at this place and I was taken aback by how chill and nice everyone was! Tattoo studios are a lil intimidating (esp in Brooklyn lol) and there was no reason for anyone to feel like that, the artists and the customers were sooo nice. My artist was Dean, he’s super talented and funny as hell I honestly can’t wait to visit again.

I was there for a small walk in tattoo. Everyone was very welcoming and super friendly! Dean did an amazing job, he really took the time and put in the effort to make it just as I wanted. I would always recommend this shop to everyone, who wants to get a nice tat in a really nice and funny environment! Awesome job guys!
