I highly recommend Nick. His art is incredible and he was more than accommodating with a group of four walking in without an appointment.

So extremely happy with my leg piece!!! I proudly tell people where I got it done and that Marc was my artist! So happy with the work and everyone that walks out with their ink as well. By far the best experience I have ever had and my leg wasn't my first one.

I got two water color hummingbirds on my arm that represent my 2 daughters. And I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. The artist took great interest in my piece I wanted cause she had never done something like it before and I have to say I have never seen a more talented artist with colors. She made new colors I've never seen before she truly gives you something original.

Had a great experience ...Nick did a great job on my tattoo and didn't take him long at all to draw it up or do it. My girlfriend wanted a cross covered up on the back of her neck and she me Spanish words on her collarbone and Marcus was more then happy to squeeze her in before closing . We will definitely be coming back for more ink... I'm ready for more now!!

Marc was more then happy to accommodate us as walk-ins I had two small tattoos and my husband is asking Mark to fix one and add to the one that is on his head which is a work in progress. When that is done I have a fixer upper,lol. Nice to have an artists with style that's unique with the professionality to back it up. I'm too old for the mess ups I know they say they're permanent and I wanted to stay I just need it updated and I think I just found the guy to do it!

My 17 year old wanted a tattoo, I decided I would allow a small one. She picked out a cute little heart with a small paw print, although it was small Marc did a great job. Had a light hand, asked her several times if she was alright. She felt very comfortable with him. I know she will be back once she is 18 and I need to decide my next one.

I like the atmosphere and the guy at the front counter (can't remember names, sorry) is such a sweetheart! I would definitely recommend this place for your next tattoo, and yes I am partial to my guy, Nick, but from the pictures, they all do amazing work!!

Hourglass has some very experienced tattoo artists ready to deliver your one-of-a-kind tattoo! You will NEVER see them do "repeat" or "cheap" tattoos. Andrew is a fine-tuned artist, and Marc does a specialty "water color effect" tattoo which I find especially beautiful! It's worth checking out there portfolios if you've never been there or are thinking of your first tattoo! And as a nurse, I've NEVER seen cleaner technique unless you want to go to a surgeon!
