80 percent of my tattoos have been done here, by Josh. Best experience, and nicest guy you'll ever meet. They treat you like family and like they've know you forever as soon as you walk in the door. Not like all the other studios I've been to before. I highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Kara is great as well. Read Less

Kara was awesome! She was able to fit me in on a Saturday and took her time on my tattoo! This wasn't my first tattoo. She was very professional, cleaned everything down after she was done with me and used new tools on my work! I live out in Oswego and I would make the drive to her again in a heart beat! I am very happy with my new piece of art! Thank you Kara!! Read Less

I've gotten two tattoos done by Josh and I had a great experience both times. The customer service was great for the consultations as well as the actual tattoo appointments. He took the time to really listen to what I wanted and gave his professional opinion along the way, which I really appreciated. The shop is clean and both Josh and Kara are friendly and welcoming. The prices are fair for the high quality work. Josh is an amazing artist and I've walked away with two beautiful tattoos thanks to him. I will definitely be going back for my next one. Read Less

Got a large reaper done by Josh Naylor. Had gone to a few artist to look at some work, Josh's stood out. I brought a few sample pieces for reference, but Josh designed a custom piece for me with all the details I wanted. It was 2 sessions, the first lasting 7 hours. He made me very comfortable even for a 7 hour stretch. I can't wait to complete this half sleeve and start the next. Josh is my guy. This is where I go. His work stands out with the best I've ever seen. If I ever l eave the state, I'd fly back to have Josh work on me. I just can't say enough! Read Less

Awesome place, really fun and skilled artists and just a really great place. Me, my son and my nephew all got our first tats here the same night and it was perfect, prices were good and the ink came out perfect. Had J do mine (Darth Vader) and Kara did my sons Norse symbols and my nephews Rose and Ribbon for our little nephew with Leukemia... All are amazing. Thanks and we will all be back soon... I want to get some work done by Josh too. His artwork looks flawless... Our ideas are all brewing for our next one, and the one after that!!! Read Less
