“I was really nervous when I went into the shop. The staff was very professional and polite.
Has given me the opportunity to decide the design side /area I wanted it to be. Since this was the first time getting a tattoo on myself the staff ensured that I am comfortable and if at any point I can’t handle the pain to let him know. I would highly recommend them since I am impressed with the service ad the outcome.” –Parishnum Kumar
