All my are work is very meaningful to me and Dave is so respectful of that and worked with me to make sure it was perfect. He has worked over some very heavy scaring and successfully covered up what I asked him to. And the after care I grate as I have very sensitive skin and lots of allergies, he always available to offer advice and assistance when he can. In short Dave is an amazing artist and I trust him completely with all work he dose and would go no where les. Thank you! Xxx

Dave is amazing, I'm 4 hours into a chest piece with a few more to go yet. Time passed so quickly as Dave and I discussed many different topics. I've had many many tattoo's and I have to say not only do I love Dave's art I have also found the whole process of getting inked by him seamless :) Thanks so much and see you again soon x
