These guys, especially Rico, are outstandingly amazing! I'm a 50 something lady who just wanted something small done. I've of course no clue what the regulations and rules of the studio are and as you can guess messed up when I went for a small addition. I was made to feel like I was having a major masterpiece done when to the remarkable artist was likely more of an irritation but never once was I made to feel like that. My little bit of ink was very special to me and they made it feel so too! Thank you so so much Rico and Sins of Style for your kindness and professionalism! You've no idea how good and bubbling with happiness it made me feel! Read Less

Sins Of Style exceeded our expectations! They truly blew us away. My husband got a half sleeve done by Lee. He told him he wanted a realistic piece of a pirate ship & he exceeded our expectations. I got an outline tattoo of Africa by Irish James & his lines were very straight. Both of them had such positive outgoing personalities which made our experience amazing. My husbands tattoo was 7 hours long & Lee took the time to really communicate and walk my husband through the entire process which was very reassuring. Overall we are very pleased with our experience. We will be coming back the next time we visit Cape Town !! Read Less

I walked in here to check it out and see if they have any artist that does realistic styles. After talking with the receptionist for a little while and looked at a few of their works, she decided that Lee would be the best fit. I spoke to Lee and he was keen on doing a nectarine tattoo. So i booked a date. Lee is a super cool dude. He loves hip hop, as do i. It was straight fire playlist when we were in session. The tattoo took about 3 hours. Color and realistic style. I was super satisfied with the result!!! And so was Lee. I am so happy with it.Read Less
