These
guys
are
AMAZING.
The
shop
was
surgical-clean,
highly
organized,
and
absolutely
welcoming.
Gino,
Mack,
Tracy
and
especially
Josue
(who
was
my
artist)
were
so
warm,
accommodating,
knowledgeable,
respectful
and
passionate.
Their
vibe
made
the
entire
experience
so
much
fun
and
100%
positive!
The
journey
started
with
Gino,
who
made
sure
to
coordinate
everything
so
that
my
artist,
Josue,
had
exactly
what
he
needed
to
conceptualize
and
draw
up
my
idea.
Gino
was
able
to
get
me
in
the
very
next
day,
first
thing
in
the
morning.
He
was
so
sharp,
customer-service
oriented,
and
very
concerned
that
I
felt
confident
and
comfortable
coming
to
the
shop.
I
immediately
knew
I
made
a
good
choice,
just
based
on
how
Gino
helped
me
and
answered
all
my
prelim
questions.
Josue
was
up
next
to
help.
I
got
to
the
shop
and
even
though
he
was
working
on
another
customer,
he
was
there
to
welcome
me,
invite
me
in,
and
discuss
the
vision
behind
my
tattoo,
go
over
the
size,
dimensions,
pricing,
color…
he
let
me
talk
to
the
customer
he
was
working
on
(who
also
was
super-pleased
with
his
work,
and
was
a
repeat
customer
for
him)
to
get
a
sense
of
his
touch
and
style.
I
returned
the
next
day
and
sat
with
Josue
for
a
major
(8”
x
3”)
forearm
colored
piece.
He
put
on
a
great
Blues
playlist
on
the
shop
sound
system
(after
I
told
him
I
loved
B.
B.
King)
and
worked
on
my
arm
for
the
full
6.5
hours,
until
it
was
perfect.
He
repeatedly
checked
in
with
me
on
my
pain-tolerance
and
comfort.
He
made
sure,
as
he
progressed,
that
I
was
happy
with
what
I
was
seeing
him
do:
the
colors,
textures,
details,
spacing,
structuring.
He
also
walked
me
through
everything
he
was
doing,
answering
my
ga-jillion
questions
about
everything:
the
ink,
my
skin,
after-care,
his
journey
as
an
artist,
his
inspirations.
He
was
so
warm
and
open
and
mindful,
it
totally
came
through
in
his
work.
A
true
talent
and
skillful
artist!
I
also
had
the
pleasure
of
meeting
his
brother
(and
shop
owner),
Mack.
Mack,
himself,
was
working
on
some
clients
while
I
was
sitting
with
Josue.
His
work
was
gorgeous,
and
I
could
clearly
see
that
artistry
and
raw
talent
run
strong
in
that
family,
for
sure.
The
whole
experience
was
just
fantastic.
From
start
to
finish
I
was
catered-to,
made
to
feel
important,
cared-for
and
appreciated.
From
talking
(always
respectfully)
about
philosophy,
politics,
the
pandemic,
art,
music,
literature,
relationships
and
family,
to
sharing
a
meal
(since
I
was
there
for
the
whole
day),
to
them
walking
me
through
the
entire
aftercare
and
tattoo
maintenance
process,
they
were
100%
invested
in
making
my
experience
EPIC!!!
