My very first tattoo experience was at Fly The Cage, with Zara Leaf. I talked to many artists in Victoria, and I ended up at Fly the Cage because of the welcoming atmosphere, and Zara’s outstanding expertise in realism (which i was interested in). Once she sketched the designs, I was completely set on them, as they were exactly what I was looking for. I am so above and beyond happy with my tattoos. I always have people asking me where I got them done, and I can gladly reply with Zara at Fly the Cage. Read Less
