I'm incredibly happy with the tattoo that Danielle did for me here. She had helpful suggestions for making the design better and her aftercare instructions had it heal without any problems. It looks even better in real life than it does in the photo. Read Less

Kiki did such an amazing job on my and my best friend's Deathly Hallows tattoo! It's clean and saturated to perfection. I can't wait to get started on my thigh piece. Thanks Kiki!

I had a fantastic experience at Diving Swallow! The atmosphere is super relaxing. When I went, only women artists were working. As a woman, I thought it was super empowering to see such talented women work together in a male dominated field! I got my tattoo from Kiki! She was super patient, sweet, and accommodating! I think she did a great job on my tattoo! I will be going there for my next tattoos for sure! Read Less

Cedre is amazing. She has been creating the most beautiful 3/4 sleeve for me. I've waited a long time for this tattoo and she is a very talented artist and I'm happy I waited to have her make my idea come alive. The shop is clean, inviting and always has a good playlist going on in the background. Most of all the energy of the shop is very positive and has a good vibe. Read Less

This summer, I had my very first tattoo done at Diving Swallow, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Cedre is incredibly patient, detail-oriented, and collaborative, and she helped me to feel comfortable throughout the entire process--from spending an hour and a half with me during our consultation to encouraging me to take as much time as I needed during breaks in our sessions. The tattoo took 14 hours total, and Cedre was so supportive throughout, making it ...a pleasant experience. She is a loving, compassionate person who does beautiful work! I have had the tattoo, which wraps around my arm from my wrist to my elbow, for about a month now, and countless friends, family, and strangers have complimented me on the vibrant colors and realism that Cedre is so adept at bringing to life. I am so thankful to have found Diving Swallow and to have had the privilege of working with Cedre--she is fantastic! See More Read Less

What an incredible place. I had long time plans to get a tattoo but it wasn't until I met Cedre that I made my official decision. Not only is she an amazing artist but she is incredibly warm and loving. She honors the ritual of tattooing and consciously makes room for her clients emotional and spiritual needs/intentions. The shop is a beautiful and welcoming space, a wonderful place to spend time. So much love for these women. Read Less
