EXPERIENCED ARTISTS
YOUR VISION APPLIED
RELAXED ATMOSPHERE
“I have spent hundreds of hours of my life getting tattooed and I must say that Brian and Roger are some of the best in the business. I have sat in many different shops since the late 90’s and these guys by far have the best atmosphere to get tattooed in. They are true professionals that will work with any reasonable idea that you bring in. Since I walked through the doors a few years ago I have not even considered going anywhere else. Also I should mention that everyone that I have referred to them have had great things to say. ”
— Dave Talley

“I have been here a couple times now. Not only is the work great but the atmosphere is amazing. The artists are wonderful. The shop is clean and relaxing. They will make you feel at home here. I have sent a couple friends here to get work and they agree that they find this place top notch and have thanked me personally for sending them here. I’ll be back!”
