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
