This is by far THE BEST tattoo shop!! Ed makes you feel like family the very moment you step into the shop. They go way above and beyond to make sure they bring your ideas to life and the prices are beyond fairly priced! Adam did my piece and his talent is RARE! He’s got a steady hand, an eye for exceptional detail and you can tell he loves what he does!!! Everyone in there is awesome. You just don’t find amazing people like you will at Public Ink. There’s a reason they’re so highly related! Read Less
