Testimonials
“Came in with a difficult geometric design, the homie spent a couple extra hours making sure the lines fit perfectly around my arm without warping 👌
Black went in straight and solid without problems and minimal irritation. This tattoo is worth more than I paid for, will be back again.”
— Kressen Piper
“My friend recommended that I came here for my first tattoo. Francisco made sure he understood what I was looking for before drawing up my tattoo. When I saw the template I was so excited. His shop is clean, and I felt very safe getting a tattoo here. It turned out beautifully, exactly what I wanted. Thank you!”
— Alison Michelle Conlon
Traveled all the way from Seattle to get tattooed by Francisco! He was very clean and professional throughout the whole process and I’m obsessed with the outcome. No doubt I’ll always come down to get tattooed by him and only him. He went above and beyond creating my exact vision for my tattoo.
