What Customers Say on Google
“KC is one of the nicest, most hard working people I know! He is so grateful to be able to be a part of someone's tattoo experience and it shows. From tiny little flash tattoos to a whole half sleeve he is by far my favorite artist that I've gotten tattooed by.”
“KC has done my right arm sleeve which also includes a shoulder cover up. Then he did about 75% of my right arm sleeve and had to work around other artist work to make everything flow together. I get compliments all the time on the work he has done.”
