After years of looking for an artist to help me get back into continuing my tattoo journey, I came across GL, specifically, Kevin's portfolio. I could not be more happy with my experience from scheduling, meeting Kevin and enjoying great tunes + conversation. I am definitely a fan and look forward to my next visit. I highly recommend!

I don't typically leave reviews, but this place changed my life really solid people, ethos, empathy and care. But don't come in with entitled nonsense as these folks are true artists and deserve respect to perform their work in a positive and safe environment. I am exercising a large amount of self control to not get another one (or five) in the coming week.

Professionalism, skill, joy - the absolute best experience The desk staff was unbelievably professional and helpful despite some hitches in the booking process. I left feeling incredibly cared for! I got tattooed by Brandon. Just a bundle of soothing enthusiasm who got the job done quickly. I'm only bummed we didn't get to chat longer! As a first timer I could not have envisioned a better experience.
