Could not recommend Carmela any higher, she’s super personable, very easy to talk to, and made me feel immediately comfortable. The tattoo is stunning, so so happy with it, it came out even better than I expected! Don’t hesitate, book that appointment and prepare to walk out of the shop a total badass 🙌🏽
