Testimonials

On 12/21/2025 Brock Nekvinda had this to say:
My wife and I walked in today (12/20) and were instantly greeted by an amazing team. Katie up front was very friendly and welcoming and willing to jump right in to get my wife and I taken care of. I got in with Zach - which was amazing! Zach was super friendly and willing to work with us to make the tattoo work. He came up with several ideas along the way and I could really feel his passion to his craft. Zach was awesome and able to get me exactly what I wanted and within a reasonable price. All on his day off too!! Thanks to the entire team! And keep up the great work Zach!!🤙🤙🤟
