Had my first tattoo done by Frank yesterday. To say I'm pleased with the outcome is an understatement!! Showed Frank what I wanted and he put his own spin on it and added some things which I never even thought of! Real relaxing environment with a great vibe and I'll definitely be going back to have more work done. Highly recommend these guys! The tattoo represents me as a person and Frank got it absolutely spot on. Thank you so much and looked forward to dealing with yo guys again.

Definitely a 5 star I had my first big tattoo done by Lauren her work was amazing and I recommended her to a few friends straight away her artistic work was definitely a 14/10! She made it painless and she even put on Netflix to distract you from any tender spots! Will definitely be going back
