Over priced and say they have to best high quality work around which is not the case simple as that I would not recommend them.

Wouldnt recommend going here. My tattoo I got had very bad shading and undefined lines with no detail. The artist rushed through it not taking his time. the tattoo wasn't uneven or messed up in any way structurally, so it can be fixed with an artist that knows what he's doing. But the feeling I got from the place was that they didn't care as long as you paid. Read Less

**BEWARE** My cousin in the US Navy got a tattoo from Brandon Mola this past weekend and it was completely mispelled. The tattoo was supposed to read "liberty before death, death before dishonor" and it reads "beeore". The stencil read correctly but Brandon messed it up and became incredibly hostile when confronted. **DO NOT get your tattoos here, they can't spell. Read Less

I requested a very simple tattoo of link from legend of Zelda (literally just the outline of him) and said multiple times "just like the photo I provided please." The man that tattooed me completely ignored all my requests during the process to STOP adding random additives to the art, as it is legend of Zelda, and should really be only done one specific way. He ended up turning my tattoo of Link into a weird looking elf and I couldn't be more devastated. Not to mention the shading (which he unnecessarily added) is so wonky I'm completely embarrassed to have this on my body. He changed his entire outfit from simple SOLID GREEN and added stripes all over him! He changed the design in the middle of the tattoo, and I just cannot stress how mortified I am over this. DO NOT TRUST this shop. This should've been the simplest tattoo and now I've had it for two hours and am calling other shops hoping to have any luck in covering it up. Not to mention that I was sobbing throughout the last half of the tattoo since the artist had already butchered the design, and the artist continued to ignore my pleas to fix it and continued doing his own thing. This is my 15th tattoo, and I've never felt more violated and disrespected in a tattoo shop in my life. Read Less

I've gotten tat from Wayne and he's absolutely awesome. Kris did all my piercings and I have to say she is totally amazing. The staff definitely cares about you more than just a customers but takes you in as you're part of the family. Everytime I'm there there's nothing but laughter to the point we are in tears. I've being a customer for years and this is the only place that will ever get my business. Thank you to all the staff with taking the time out with me and showing me nothing but love. Donna Read Less
