“My first tattoo. They walked me through the deposit, the stencil and the aftercare, and not once did I feel silly for asking.”

“The cover-up hides twelve years of a bad decision, and nobody can tell there was anything underneath.”

Marc-André D.

“I queued three hours for flash day and would do it again tomorrow.”

Jules P.
