Joseph and Aiyanna own the studio. They are down to earth amazing people who keep their studio clean and open to everyone with an emphasis on white black brown LGTBQ people and people who might have self harmed themselves they help by giving deals to cover up scars. I would recommend them to anyone. I now have seven tattoos and by far this was the most friendly place I have been at and I have had my tattoos done in different places. There is a lot of stigma around tattoo shops and people feel intimidated but going into their shop was like going to say hi to my friends. Great place, great work and friendly people. I would go again More...

What do you love most about your job?
We are blessed be have the opportunity to use our skills as artists to help people express themselves and tell thier stories through art. Its the hige smiles and happiness on our clients faces when they see thier tattoo that really makes it all worth it. Art costs money, yes, but kindness is free and we always feel like we’re doing our clients a kindness when they choose to work with us. They leave with great work, and a pep in thier step. Thats honestly the best part of our job.
What inspired you to start your own business?
We as artists, immigrants, minorities, POC, females, etc. havent had it easy in this cut throat industry. Working in other shops where old school tattoo culture such as harsh apprenticeships, abuse (sexual/verbal), egotrips, drug and alcohol abuse where pretty common in the work enviroment, made it even harder for us to thrive not juat as artists, but also as people. When we’d finally had enough we decided to create a space dedicated to helping other artists and clients like us (POC, minorities, immigrants, LGBTQ etc.) so that we could all learn and grow as artists and people in a humbled, caring, safe space environment, free of harsh unnecesaary judgement. A space where we could all just be humans.
Why should our clients choose you?
This is a hard question. We wouldnt be cross that clients dont choose us; we are aware first hand that there are artists out there that claim clientel as thier own and those clients fear seeking other artists for other work because of that.
If we had to say anything on the matter of being chosen, its that we truly do aim to offer an experience when you come to our shop, not just great artwork. The comfort and needs of our clients are top priority during your visit. We offer coffee, teas, hot chocolate, and water, as well as an assortment of different chips ans snacks to get you through your tattoo seasion as we know its not uncommon for some people to faint due to low blood sugar during thier tattoo. We also provide different television options such as netflix, amazon prime, crunchyroll etc for viewing during long sessions, and music is always clients choice. We really do aim to build a good relationship with our clients, customer service is priority #1.
