 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. IGLA Tattoo Studio NYC has great artists!! I witnessed this first hand. Katherine did my mom's autograph a few weeks ago. Yesterday, Kat began my sleeve. All custom. All amazing! I watched other artists create wonderful pieces while the best artist worked on mine. The drive to NYC is worth it but I wouldn't be mad if they opened a shop in Maryland. Thanks Kat!! See you soon!
