I'm unable to travel to LA, so I got my tattoos by Mags at a shop near me. I've gotten 6 tattoos by her now, and she also touched up one I had gotten from someone else. Mags is my favorite artist and nobody can tattoo me as well as she does. What I mean by that is I apparently have pretty soft/sensitive skin, and she noticed that right away in our first session and tattooed me accordingly. She has an incredibly light touch, she takes her time to get the job done right, yet she still somehow is able to do a lot of work in a relatively short period of time at a beyond reasonable rate. I've had multiple tattoos done by her in one session and it's the least pain I've experienced from any I've ever gotten, at a certain point I just relax and barely notice she's working on me. Also, because she knows how to work on my skin, her tattoos are the only ones that seem to heal perfectly flat and smooth on me, whereas 3 or 4 other artists I've been to take longer to heal and have some raised skin issues going on. I highly recommend Mags, she's always been easy to work with when I give her my ideas for tattoos, she comes up with a quick design I love based on just a basic idea or outline I give her, and she has sweet original designs too. And of course she's extremely cool and friendly and makes the sessions enjoyable.

Mags has done 2 of my 3 tatoos, not to mention my very first. I love them both as she's a top notched artist and has a light hand too so sje will not scared you up. I hope and pray that she will get better soon from health problems she's having as it's time for me to go big and I want her to design and put a half sleeve On me next!

The only person I want to tattoo me is Mags, I have no desire to ever have anyone else tattoo me. I have two tattoos and both were done by Mags and they are absolutely what I wanted and they were done with tremendous artistry and skill.The first one was done in 2013 at a different shop, it was my first tattoo, even though it was done at a different shop it is still hers, the second one however was started in 2015 and it is beautiful and exactly what I wanted. For the one started in 2015, I told her I wanted a tattoo inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's "The Ugly Duckling" and I gave one reference picture of a drawing that had an element of what I was looking for. The sketch that I got back far surpassed any expectations or thoughts I had, the sketch was beautiful and it is even more beautiful on my ribs. The tattoo is not finished I have one session left, and I will update it afterwards but even though it is 2/3 complete I still receive a lot of compliments.In regard to the professionalism of Mags I appreciate the fact that she has been doing this for a very long time and she is fully aware of the limitations that are inherently present in tattooing as an art form especially on the body parts that you wish to get tattooed. What she presents as the sketch she can do and she does it very well, and they are proportioned perfectly and what ends up on your body is what she sketched. She is also really good at recognizing the limits of the body that is being tattooed and will take a break when needed, what is also really nice is that she tattoos in sync with your breathing which, for a rib tattoo, is incredibly helpful. Overall, Sailor Beware Tattoo is amazing and I recommend her to anyone and everyone who will listen to me.

I had been thinking for a year about what i wanted to get. When I first spoke with Mags, i had a better idea, but was unable to describe it. Mags nailed it. She designed a tattoo for me that was even more beautiful than i had envisioned. The environment was comfortable, and relaxing. Equipment was way above the standards of cleanliness and safety. I am always a bit nervous when getting work done, and she made me feel at home, and at ease. I didn't want the night to end! If you are looking for quality work, this is the place for you. She designs pieces that are beautiful, and reflective of who you are! I will be getting more work done here!

Mags is great! She has a nice light-hand for the perfect touch! She's one of the most versatile artists out there with great personality and professionalism. There isn't a style she can't do.. from custom portraits and cover-ups to old school traditional, she lays down the cleanest lines! Thank you Mags for my permanent brilliance. See you soon!

If you want a high grade tattoo and an equally high quality tattoo artist then this is the place for you. I couldn't be more happy with the work Mags did for me, she is an amazing artist and I feel lucky to have some of her unique work on me. I have added an image of my sleeve in the photo section, it's the one of the Bastet pinup, I also sport the leg piece of the Elven Queen/warrior with the red cape and golden hair.
