I’ve only used one artist “Langley” but everyone there was amazingly friendly! I listened to folks coming in and going out and everyone was overjoyed with the work done. As far as Langley goes, she’s AMAZING!! She took her time with my design, made artistic changes where needed and was a pleasure to sit with for 7 hours while she worked. She is an amazing talent and I would recommend her to anyone who wants a friendly face, a great attitude, fantastic artistic ability and attention to detail! I couldn’t be happier!! Thank you Langley and thank you to all of the artists who I met while I was there, I WILL be back for my next one!! Purple Heart should be at the top of your list if you’re looking, I wouldn’t go anywhere else!! Read Less

Nick is an old friend of mine. And I came in with an idea of something that he doesn't do at all and he immediately fell in love with it and we have been going through the process of working out something that we both loved and will be proud of and I just feel like the experience was amazing the piece is amazing the place Feels Like Home. You're comfortable there. And that means a lot when you're getting tattooed topless. But in all seriousness to come in and get a one-of-a-k…ind piece done by friend was just great and I love it he loves it and will be finishing it up at the end of the month. But I would definitely recommend them and I'm definitely getting my next tattoo there. I've already spoken to an artist about it and will probably put my deposit down when I go get my chest finished. All in all the environments great the people are friendly and you can't go in there without leaving with a smile. Еще Read Less
