My friend visited from out of state and I took her here. She said it was better than anything she has found back home. We are now planning her next trip around getting an appointment.

Custom piece on my forearm. Artist spent like 2 hours on the design before we even started. The attention to detail shows in the final product. Healed perfectly.
