Amazing place. Guys in here are professional, they charge $150 an hour, however they work really fast and really good. My tattoo was about 4 hour, it was done in 2 and a half. Incredible results. They really take time preparing, cleaning, and taking care for the tattoo. And they work late nights as well. The best tattoo place. I highly recommend. Almost everybody there have at least 10 years of experience. They also have waiting area with free pool, sofas, TV's, games whatever you want. Definitely would go there for my next tattoo. Read Less

This weekend I received a tattoo by Gill. Awesome guy. very knowledgeable, personable and his attention to detail is absolutely impeccable. I showed him a picture of a tattoo style that I liked and he completely recreated it to make a custom piece. His price was fair and reasonable for the amount of detail and time my tattoo took. He was very patient and took time to explain everything he did. I am extremely satisfied with my ankle/foot piece and would recommend him to anybody! Read Less
