I had an amazing experience getting my tattoo done at family buisness tattoo! Ronaldo is incredibly talented, professional, and detail-oriented. I asked for a traditional Japanese ! He curated my idea to life. Listens and he will tell you the meaning of it per request. You can tell they truly care about their craft and their clients. They make sure tattoo care is the priority plus after care. The shop itself has a great vibe clean, welcoming, and full of good energy. They made sure I was comfortable the entire time and brought my vision to life even better than I imagined. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality work and a dope experience. I get a lot of compliments on my tattoo and I can explain to people the meaning of my tattoos. I’m honored to have a piece that I can carry and share with other people. Marianna has done plenty of my piercings I can say the same thing really clean. The team here are very kind ! I will be back soon.

I’ve been coming to this shop for about 4 years now and it’s hands down one of the best tattoo spots around. The vibe is always friendly, and full of good energy. You can tell everyone here loves what they do. My artist, Ronaldo, is professional, creative, and always delivers clean, detailed work that exceeds expectations every time. Whether it’s your first tattoo or your tenth, this is the place to go. Highly recommend.

Ronaldo and Mariana are true professional. I came in with a basic idea, and they were so collaborative and patient as we refined the design. They have an amazing artistic vision and turned my simple concept into something truly special. The shop’s atmosphere was really relaxed and comfortable, which made the long session fly by. The staff were all friendly and made me feel right at home.
