Shop was spotless, service was fast, and Nate was friendly and talented. Modified a design I brought in in minutes, resized it and was at work in his office in minutes. Good tunes, wall to wall art to look at, and good conversation made the hours fly by. I will return for sure when I'm ready to for more ink. The drive was worth it. Read Less

Went in on Tuesday with what I had envisioned as a somewhat simple piece but open minded to it being larger and not necessarily to scale. Talked with Trevor and Bob both. Trevor set up my appointment for yesterday, Thursday, went in, saw the sketch and was all about it. In the end, I left with a way more detailed piece than expected, looks real and exact. Couldn't have asked for more. Trevor put tons of work into it, couldn't thank him enough. Bob and Nathan both came in during the work, gave some small ideas to bring everything to life as well. They're all damn good guys to work with and aren't going to BS around. Read Less
