Greg is amazing! He tattooed my cousin @[690960117:Jacob Keaweaimoku Modesto Cabuag III] and Jacob was very proud of that tatoo! When he passed almost 3 months ago I started thinking about getting a tattoo to honor him and Greg seemed like the appropriate person for the job since my cousin always spoke very highly of him. While I was there getting tattooed, Greg spoke very highly of Jacob! It was nice to see how he affected other people's lives as well as our family's. Greg was very honored to be doing all these memorial tattoos for Jacob's family and friends(I am not the only one going to him), and also compassionate about me getting a bit teary eyed. I will be going back for my future tattoos! Thanks again Greg, you made this sad experience a little less painful.

Greg is killing it on my first poly tat! Just pulled all of my future work. A lot of respect to my prior artists. Greg connects with you when working so your ink is personal and flows. If you prefer tight lines, creative/custom art, good people, and a chill environment, why aren't you going to Island Sons/Rollin Gypsy?

Greg is awesome! On short notice he was able to produce a beautifully meaningful design and make the time to execute the design for us three sisters. See post April 21st for the design.

I went in there yesterday to get a small tattoo done. Semicolon butterfly. Hank was amazing. He was friendly, welcoming and a fun guy in general. He's also an amazing artist. He's light handed and his line work is super impressive. The color in the wings is beautiful. Overall I'm super impressed with the shop. Will be coming back in to see Hank again!
