Kalib did a fantastic job memorializing our 2 deceased puppies. This was my first ever tattoo and I was nervous, but he made sure I was okay the whole time. His design of the tattoo itself turned out better than anything I originally imagined. I would never trust anyone else with something like this.

Above and beyond in professionalism when it came to Ryan the piercer. He handled my daughters first ear piercings and as a Father I couldn't ask for someone more patient and understanding.

Both of these guys are amazing artists. They really take the time to make sure you're happy with the artwork before, during, and after it's done. I never want to use anyone else!

I went in to see Kalib for my first tattoo and I was super impressed with the whole process. First the shop is super clean! I was amazed by how meticulous he was about cleaning every surface in the tattooing area. He also did an incredible job of taking my ideas and turning them into a great piece of art. Lastly since it was my first tattoo he did a great job of putting my nerves at ease. Over all definitely worth the 5 stars and I would recommend him and Jason to anyone!
