Thank you so much for all of your kind reviews!
Abby:
“I can not begin to describe how great of an experience I had. Colleen did my last piece and I couldn’t be more grateful! I was given copious amounts of opportunities to share feedback about the original sketches for my custom pieces, all of which was taken so well and resulted in both of us loving the outcome. Colleen was nothing but accommodating and kind during my 5 hour session, and never failed to hype me up throughout it all! You can tell Colleen is passionate about their artwork, and it made for such an amazing experience, with an absolutely amazing outcome. I will for SURE be going back to Colleen for future pieces! If you’re nervous about your first tattoo, or just want someone who you feel genuinely cares about you and your tattoos, you must see Colleen!”
Kristina:
“Getting a tattoo is such a vulnerable experience, whether we admit it or not! As fat, queer, & trans people with mobility challenges like me, it can be especially scary to bare your body for someone to dig into you with needles! With Colleen, though, my appointment was comfortable, inviting, supportive, and unbelievably understanding of all the ways that having a body and neurodivergent mind can make things a bit tricky! I felt respected and listened to, and Colleen even made it a point to mention that they were there for ME and that my comfort and experience was paramount while we were together. If you like trad. tattoos by a wildly talented artist and want to support someone who truly practices what they preach around consent and trauma-informed practice, make an appointment with Colleen... like RIGHT NOW! You will NOT be disappointed!”
Megan:
“I’m so glad my friend recommended Colleen to me for my first ever tattoo! I’ve wanted one for ages, but was worried that my anxiety and some of the challenges I face with my autism would keep me from ever getting it done. Colleen made every step of the process so comforting, and it turns out they’re autistic too! (They said I could share this.) This added an extra level of understanding that I wasn’t expecting, and it made getting my first tattoo such an extra special experience. They were kind and patient whenever I needed a break. They adjusted the music and lights when I was feeling overwhelmed. We talked about stimming and sensory struggles. They never made me feel stupid for any of my newbie questions. It was such a magical experience and I can’t wait to get more pieces from Colleen. Thank you for going above and beyond!”
Caitlin:
“I absolutely adore all of my pieces that were designed and tattooed by the incredibly talented Colleen!!! They are such a warm, genuine, and inviting human. Getting tattooed by them was such a comfort, like meeting up with an old friend for coffee. Colleen took the time to confirm that the design, sizing, placement, line weight, shading, etc., etc., etc. were all within my preference and ensures that each experience is tailored to their client’s needs. They were very open to any and all feedback, yet also happy to make suggestions based on the tattoos I already have. I’ve never met such a kind, understanding, and consent-based artist. They were informative about needle changes, positioning, and aftercare. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to everyone!”
Jeanjo:
“I have been tattooed by 6 different artists, and Colleen is the first positive experience I have had. They were so sweet and connecting the whole time. Not only do they do amazing work, they make sure you are safe, they make sure they read your body cues, and they make sure you have what you need. I couldn’t have asked for a better artist. I knew as soon as I met them that I found my forever tattoo artist.”
A.L.:
“Colleen gave me two tattoos in one appointment, and it could not have been a better experience! Colleen was very friendly and open upon my arrival to the shop. They consistently ensured that I had opportunities to voice my opinions, asked me about my preferences, and prioritized my comfort throughout the appointment. Overall, they created a comfortable environment where I felt very safe. I walked out of my appointment beyond pleased! When showing people my tattoos, I always say how great of an experience it was and recommend them to everyone! Colleen is a wonderful person who truly goes above and beyond to ensure healthy communication between them and their clients.”
Jessica:
“5/5 stars! Would give more if possible! Colleen is an incredible artist to work with who creates the most comfortable and caring environment for the tattoo experience. They are both tough, and very, very tender. I felt so taken care of during my session. They are an awesome hype-person and so talented. I’m obsessed with my foot tattoo and can’t wait to work with them again!”
Amy:
“Colleen provided the ideal tattoo experience. I really appreciated how much care they put into making sure that I was comfortable. They checked in frequently, asked for my input on the design, and made sure that I was doing ok all throughout. The tattoo is extremely well done and I’m so happy with it. Highly, highly recommend Colleen.”
Kayla:
“I had a great experience getting tattooed by Colleen. They were professional, welcoming, and made the tattoo appointment enjoyable. It was the most relaxing tattoo experience I’ve had to date. I definitely recommend Colleen to others, and I hope to get more tattoos by them in the future.”
E.S.:
“I have one tattoo from Colleen and I definitely plan on getting more work from them in the future. Colleen made me feel so welcome and comfortable in the studio. We talked a lot about my tattoo placement and size AND my comfort during the process. I really felt like my thoughts and feelings were heard. The tattoo also healed beautifully. I feel like Colleen has set the bar for tattoo artists. They’re just so amazing!”
Jessica M.G.:
“I’ve had several great experiences with getting tattooed by Colleen! their artwork is phenomenal and my newest tattoo is one of my all time favorites. They created such a great atmosphere and are professional and kind to other artists and clients. I’ll definitely be back for more beautiful ink!”
