    I love my tattoo. I love that I get to have it for the rest of my life. It's my first one. I gave Turk the general idea of what I wanted and he made this beautiful piece for me. It's not even done yet but I have been getting compliments left and right. ... Turk even put on some music of my choice (Tom Waits).
    OH I cannot wait to get it done :D !!

    Friendly, professional, clean, with good custom artists. I've had work done all over the country and this studio is aces. I got a simple, shirt piece of text and they were able to book me on same day. Jacob did the work and was fantastic in planning it out *with* me. Some artists are too into their own vision and some don't give enough guidance, but Jacob hit the sweet spot that I was comfortable with. Lovely shop, lovely people.

    Yesterday, at almost 44, I got my first tattoo. I had virgin skin. Yesterday morning I was scared to death. Turk was awesome! My skin didn't even get red and swollen. A true example of Turk's professional work. I got 2 small tattoos on a wrist. That's all I wanted. By the time we were driving away, I was already planning my next tatoo. I'll be contacting Turk for that one, too.

    Walked in, just visiting San Diego, Chris worked us into the schedule. Chris set a comfortable environment for us right off, sketched out our idea and finished mine and my girlfriends tattoos fast. Thanks Chris. Would definitely return if in the area.
