There is not enough time for me to say all the wonderful things about Sara and Chico Lou's. From the minute I went in for a consultation, Sara made me feel welcome and right at home. She helped me take a vague idea and some random pictures from the internet and transform them into a piece of art that is better than I could have ever imagined. She truly listens to what you want, what you don't want, and makes sure that your vision will come to life in the best possible way. I trust Sara and her artistic vision to always create something I know I'll love. I feel so grateful to have found such a creative, honest and talented artist so close to home! Read Less

Not only did she read my mind and created a design I absolutely love but she was also very courteous and willing to listen to all the tiny details that I wanted to incorporate in my tattoo making the process very enjoyable. She knocked it out of the park and into another zip code. I will most definitely be returning to her for my future tattoos. Thanks Sara you rock! Read Less

I am so so so excited that I went with Sara for my very first tattoo! My husband got his 2nd and 3rd tattoos from her today as well and It was everything we wanted and so much more. She is patient and kind and extremely thorough. She made sure we were in love with our own ideas before she started, and then she made them amazing! She was funny and she treated me like she's known me my whole life, it was like being tattooed by a very good friend! I can not say enough good things about her, it was an amazing experience!

The steadiest hand in all the land! Sara puts the Whoa in Woman with her versatile style, talent, ability to execute the perfect color choice, and with her shining personality. As someone who has been tattooed by a lot of people, I can say with ease and confidence that Sara is not just the fastest... but also the BEST. She cares about her clients, she cares about the space she holds (an aesthetic wonderland that is sterile and inviting), and she cares about weird things.. which I can highly appreciate. No matter what you're looking for in a tattoo, I am positive that Sara can take care of you real well. Seldom is a treasure found in tattoo artists that can do so many different things.. I have found that at Chico Lou's in Sara! Cover-ups, blacks and greys, portraits, fun things, little things, big things, etc... you name it, she can do it or even direct you to someone who can do what you ask better. Humble, creative, and an overall badass lady! I will definitely be coming back. Read Less

Sara's work is excellent. She works with her clients to develop the concept for each tattoo, listening to their ideas but also speaking frankly about what will work. She's done 7 custom tattoos for me, ranging from black line work to pieces with complicated shading and color schemes. Each one is amazing, and I love them all. I'll be going back to Sara for more work in the future. Anyone looking for a tattoo artist they can trust to produce beautiful works of art that tell their story should go to Chico Lou's Fine Tattoos to see Sara. Read Less
