Testimonials

On 2/15/2026 Shayla Turner had this to say:
We came in with the intention of getting a “random” tattoo with one rule, we could only tell him the kinds of things we like, and whatever he created was what we’d get tattooed. Mark designed an incredible piece for my partner that perfectly captured something she truly loves. When it was my turn, he listened to everything I shared, but instead of directly incorporating those specific things, he created a design that embodied my personality so perfectly it honestly surprised me. It felt so thoughtful and intentional. What really stood out was how much time Mark took to get to know us before ever putting pen to paper. I’ve never had an artist approach a tattoo that way, and it made the experience so personal and meaningful. On top of that, he was able to work within our budget, which we truly appreciated. He definitely gained two new loyal customers tonight, and I can’t wait to sit with him again!

On 12/16/2025 Andrea Aparicio-Noyola had this to say:
It’s such a relief to find a tattoo shop that is not only clean and professional, but also incredibly welcoming and comfortable. From the moment I walked in, Chris and the staff went above and beyond. After sharing my experience with a bad tattoo I already had, Chris completely turned things around—he listened to my vision, explained everything step by step, and made sure I felt heard throughout the entire process. Chris is not only an amazing artist but also a genuinely great person to talk to, which made the whole experience even better. The pricing is very reasonable, and the quality of care and customer service is unlike anything I’ve experienced at other tattoo shops in this area. I left feeling so happy with the work and confident that I’ll be coming back again. Truly outstanding!

This was my second tattoo with Drew Baker. He did a great job with a few of us for memorial tattoos. They were all small and fine lines, did great with small details. The shop is clean and comfortable, highly recommend!
