Satch turned a piece I wasn't sure about into a full sleeve and made it look like that was the intention from day one. A master of his craft, and one of the best experiences of my life.

My third piece from Randy, and definitely not my last. He helped me figure out the perfect placement when I was unsure, and it turned out even better than I imagined. The healing has been smooth.

The atmosphere was positive and so was Kevin. It felt like getting tattooed by a friend. He turned my scars into something beautiful, and I'm reminded of my strength every time I look at this tattoo.
