On 9/2/2025 Kevin McCarthy had this to say:
We called on Labor day to see if we could sneak in for a couple small tattoos. The message promt advised we'd receive a text in a few minutes. Sent images of what we wanted and the owner arranged for someone to come in within an hour. The artist, Greg, was super cool and we loved his work. He made my wife very comfortable as this was her 1st tatoo. Would definitely return. These guys are super nice and very professional
