“Great easy online booking form to eliminate back and forth messaging was a huge plus! Rachel took great time putting in the details we needed for my piece and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. Rachel is extremely knowledgeable in hand poke tattoo and was able to answer all my questions and guide me through each step! The shop is welcoming and comfortable, with lots of snacks and comfort items like stress balls to help work through the spicy parts of the tattoo. I would recommend to anyone wanting a great original piece in a chill environment with an artist that puts a lot of effort and care into their work!.”

“I had Rachel do my tattoo and she did an amazing job. She was personable and super sweet. I also got to meet Dani and she was super sweet as well. This place made me feel so comfortable and I will be coming again.”
" I’ve been lucky enough to get two tattoos from Rachel! i absolutely love both of them! she does such a wonderful job of making you feel safe and comfortable in her chair and her work is so beautiful! I tell everyone i can to get tatted by her! I cannot recommend her enough! "
" I honestly can't say thank you enough for what you do! You're so talented and I am in love with every piece I have had done by you! I can't wait to continue to be tatted by you! I recommend you to everyone I know! Everyone should be tattooed by you at least once in their life!"
"Getting a hand-poke tattoo is a whole experience— I’ve had many tattoos with a gun, but this was completely different. It was calm, serene, and Rachel is a very talented artist. I think this is the only way I will get tattoos from now on. Do not hesitate— whether it’s your first tatt or your fiftieth, this is something you will never regret. Set your appointment today!!"
"I was curious about hand poked tattoos and decided to book an appointment with her. She often holds flashes with creative and beautiful tattoo options to choose from (although you can bring your own ideas). For my first (hopefully not my last) I picked rainbow sparkles behind my left ear. It was a pain free (not exaggerating) relaxing experience-could have dozed off. I cannot recommend Rachel enough for an awesome hand poked tattoo experience."
