Client Reviews

“I did a walk in with Jose in October of last year, and was immediately impressed with his quality of work. I travel for work and frequent the area and have made it a point to get work done by him every time I’m in town. He’s extremely detail oriented and helps you create exactly what you are looking for. 10/10 would highly recommend.”

— Stephanie Stentzel

“Been getting work done by Jose for almost 3 years now (15 or so pieces later) and I’m always leaving very satisfied. Hes always willing to make the extra effort to deliver good work. Can’t imagine getting ink from anyone else!”

— Justin Scribner

“I finally completed my sleeve, and it looks better than I’ve ever imagined. Jose is the best tattoo artist ive come across and is definitely the guy to go see for your next piece. He loves what he does and is one of the coolest people you’ll ever meet. I highly recommend to look no further after you come across Jose.”
