My dad and I got small, matching tattoos the other day and they were done by Franky. He did them exactly the way we wanted and gave great advice on placement and other ideas when we asked for them. He is probably the most personable and friendly tattoo artist I have been to yet. He is incredibly reasonable with prices and we did not feel rushed at all. We had a great experience and our tattoos look great! Highly recommend! Read Less

It's a really groovy up and coming shop, with really friendly staff too. The artist I went to, Sarah Spread, is PHENOMENAL! I'd definitely recommend this shop and if you can, ask for Sarah!

This is my ONLY tattoo shop from now on. I've been to several shops before and nobody has come close to the work franky does. His work is beautiful, the healing time is so quick-I think because he has such a soft touch when he does his work. I'm super crazy about cleanliness and franky has a super clean shop, doesn't mind answering questions about stuff and everything is disposable and fresh and clean. He also makes everyone feel super comfortable and welcome and makes conversation while he's doing your work so it's not awkward. I recommend his place to anyone who wants good quality work at a reasonable price. Read Less

Was looking to get another tattoo, but wanted to make sure I would get a quality job after being disappointed in the last place I went to here in the city.  You will not be disappointed here.I absolutely love the work Franky did and he definitely cares that you get exactly what you want.  He'll work with your ideas and help you out.  I've seen his other work on people and it really is impressive; great artistry across the board and experienced in all areas of ink.  He gets the job done efficiently while making you feel right at home.The place is very clean, good music, and overall a well run establishment.  The location is easy to get to, parking free and abundant.  If you're a newbie or longtime vet of ink, this is the place to go.

As the owner of a salon that employs 7 tattooed chicks, this place opening right next door was extremely exciting for us! (Or trouble, depending on how you look at it!)The owner, Franky, is super personable, friendly, and accommodating. My boyfriend and I went to get tattoos together one Saturday after I closed the salon, and we had such a great time. He was patient, listened closely to everything we wanted, and came up with the perfect design. Coolest thing is, he free-handed my boyfriend's tattoo and it looks fantastic! He is designing my memorial tattoo for my Dad right now, and I have never been so excited to get a tattoo before! I'll post pictures once it's done! Check these guys out, you won't regret it Read Less
