Before long, Stephany came out with my tattoo drawn up and we sized it on my wrist. She was not very heavy handed. I appreciate her thoroughness and the fact that she took her time. Would love to come back again.

The studio was clean and had a very relaxing vibe. Cat was my artists and she created a design that was exactly what I wanted. She walked me through the whole process and was so kind.
