Client Experiences

My visits always start out great. Staff is very professional and helpful. I go to Rob and have been impressed with how he collaborates with his clients. He's extremely talented!!! His work is beautiful and his work area is always clean. Rob has made me feel more confident and comfortable in my own skin. As a female being tattooed he is always respectful of my body and makes me feel comfortable. He keeps everything professional! I get daily compliments on his work. My husband had 2 coverups tattoos done and Rob truly worked miracles on the coverups. Long review but I cannot express how grateful I am for Rob and his talent and professionalism.

Services: Fine line tattoos, Solid black work tattoos, Tattoo design, Tattoos This shop is amazing. ALL the staff are super friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to help. Rob designed my tattoo and I could not be happier with it! He did such an amazing job! I was a little nervous about getting a custom tattoo since you don't see the design until the day of your appointment but it turned out perfectly and I can't wait to go back to get another! It is pricey but SO worth it to get really quality work in a very safe and clean environment. HIGHLY recommend!

I wanted to get a memorial tattoo done for my dog that had passed away. After doing research on various artists on Instagram, I found Rob was the perfect person to honor my dog. The staff got me a consultation with Rob.
