"This place is fantastic! I loved my experience working with Rich. He had such passion and he's very helpful guiding the experience. I relied on his expertise when I was getting two tattoos covered up with a bigger tattoo. He was great to talk with, I loved the relaxing jazz music in the shop and the vibrant art was so cheerful, so inviting. Rich and I kept in touch and he checked my tattoo out a month later to see how it healed. I've told my friends to go see Rich and I can't recommend enough! Thank you!"
