John is AMAZING! I went in for a cover up, he went above and beyond. He is reasonable with his pricing, his shop is laid back and relaxing. I will be going to him from now on.

Best tattoo artist I've ever known. Very reasonably priced, impeccable work (I even had him fix things other people had done in the past). Always willing to work with you to help flesh out ideas for the less artistically inclined people like myself. A lot of times I'd come in with one sort of vague idea and leave with something way better than I'd been picturing. Super friendly, a far cry from the gruff aloofness you often get at a quality shop.
Just to give an example of how good he is, at one point I wanted three pages from a book on my back in a certain shape, in a language he doesn't even speak, and he just started freehanding it. I asked if he needed to map it out but I had enough work from him already that I trusted him when he said "nah, it'll fit, trust me" and multiple sessions and 15 hours of work later sure enough it came out exactly right. The guy is a machine.

the minute I walked in the door I knew we had found someplace special, there were drawings and photographs of John's work, but no "sample books". Immediately I knew this was for me. Nothing pat; anything that he would do would be original and he worked out a design it was absolutely right on. This was my first tattoo and I'm 55 years old, I'm thinking about my fourth one, I've got an idea, with Johns artistic "WOW", I'm sure he'll have a masterpiece for me. This is one gem of a place, and a very special artist.
