I made an appointment with Sky to get a tattoo and had an awesome experience from start to finish. She was professional, easy to talk to, and really took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. Most importantly, her work is amazing, super detailed with clean lines and great precision. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Overall, I loved my experience and will definitely be back for another piece. If you’re looking for an artist, I highly recommend giving her a call.

I had a great experience for the first part of my first tattoo from the consultation to the end. I love Sky’s attention to detail and it’s obvious she wants her clients to be comfortable and happy.

I highly recommend checking out Sky’s work- my experience was wonderful. I came in with uneven, poorly shaped micro bladed brows from a previous procedure. She was so patient, carefully measuring everything, and explained each step so I felt comfortable the whole time. I’m a red head and she nailed my brow color. Thank you Sky, I love my brows!!!

I showed sky a few designs/inspirations of what I was aiming for as this was a memorial tattoo for my beloved childhood pet that had passed away. Sky was beyond sweet, patient, understanding and professional through the beginning to end. She worked her magic and I absolutely love the way it turned it. Highly recommend her for all her work and dedication to her clients🤍

Stellar experience getting tattooed by Sky last week. She created a custom bird design for me on the spot while I grabbed lunch. I asked for a lot - to match the style of a former tattoo motif I have, to work in a narrow place on my arm, and to create movement. Sky delivered. I love how the design, shading, and placement turned out! Sky has a relaxed demeanor and makes easy conversation, although she seemed just as content to get into the flow of the work and be quiet, too - if that’s your thing. 10/10 recommend

I LOVED working with Sky! I came to her with only a very vague notion of what I wanted and she transformed my idea into something truly artistic and special. She consistently went way way way way above and beyond in thoughtfulness, artistry, kindness, and literally everything else. Sky also made me feel as comfortable as possible and informed during every step of the tattooing process. I get compliments on the sleeve she did for me every single day. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!

Sky did mine and my brother's tattoo, she took our designs and added to them. The tattoo is vibrant and beautifully colored, will come back to her in the future.
