Having Raya do my permanent cosmetic eyebrows what is the best choice I made! People literally have to touch my eyebrows to tell that they were tattooed because they look so realistic. I would do it again in a heartbeat and would recommend her talent to anybody with no hesitation whatsoever. If you've been thinking about it this is the lady to do it. She consulted on every step from helping to select a color to working with the shape Etc. Read Less

I would recommend Raya to anyone! She's done two tattoos for me so far and they're easily my favorites. She has such an amazing eye for design and color and she's so much fun to talk to for hours at a time � I couldn't be happier! Read Less

This lady does amazing work. I went in yesterday for a quote on some custom work and ended up chatting with her for over an hour about everything. She also drew up some amazing designs based on my rough sketches and quoted me much less than expected. I'm saving up for my tattoos and can't wait to go back and get them done! Read Less

Over the past year Raya has tattooed an entire sleeve on my right arm and two additional tattoos. Raya isn't just a tattooist that does exceptional work, but she's become a part of our family. I've spent so much time with Raya that I've gotten to know her family and it's always a treat to hear what has been going on in her life. For me her studio feels like home and the art that covers the walls is a testament to her skill and talent. During one of our sessions we talked a little about how the best tattoos are those where the artist is allowed to let their creativity flow. I give her images that speak to me and she puts them together and just runs with it. There's no set plan, but a road paved with her creativity. I respect her opinion and know that she won't lead me in the wrong direction. My skin is no longer a blank canvas, but has transformed in to a work of art. I am thankful that I saw the article in the Herald Mail about her shop or I'd be traveling a much different path. One of my favorite things is when she's tattooing and gets this look, followed by the words "I was thinking." I know it means that even more beauty is about to grace my skin. Raya will be inking many more tattoos on my body and I can't wait. I also have her art work scattered throughout my home. We've taken multiple pieces or art work and turned them in to tattoos, including a cat painting that she did. To say I would highly recommend her would be putting it mildly. Read Less

Raya is absolutely wonderful! Lovely person and does really excellent art! I got a small tattoo of my own design that she redrew (I'm a terrible artist..) and tattooed within an hour or so. I would definitely recommend her :) Read Less

Raya is very talented, confident and service oriented. She has the artist's eye for sure. Her demeanor puts one at ease right away. She did a fabulous job on my permanent make-up (eyebrows, eyeliner and lip liner). I am so happy with the results. Before I found Raya, I have had these procedures done a few times by others over the course of 20 years and Raya is by far the best of the best!! She is an hour and a half drive from my home but definitely worth the trip and the little village of Boonsboro is absolutely enchanting. Read Less
