"Nothing but great experiences with Steve. I'm so happy with all my tattoos. I'm a perfectionist, but so is he. Not a single dot is misplaced in any of my tattoos by him. Definitely recommend if you're looking for someone very professional."

"So far I've gotten two sessions done. He's efficient and talented, definitely makes you feel comfortable. He does a great job at giving you the best information to make sure the design comes out the way you want. I'm excited to go in for my third session!"
