What They
Say.

"Marcus is a true artist. The artistry is on another level — the detail, shading and the flow of tattoos across both arms and back show true mastery."

Mark Adams

Full sleeves & back piece

"I recently received a cover-up tattoo done by Marcus and I couldn't be happier. He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, and his attention to detail really showed in the final design."

Crystal Scrafford

"Got my Japanese traditional tattoo here with Marcus. It was my first tattoo ever, and not once did I feel uncomfortable or uneasy thanks to Marcus. 5 stars."
