I have been getting tattooed here by Nicole Marie McCord for a few years now. I keep going back first and foremost because she is so incredibly talented. She never fails to make me comfortable and keep me smiling through my appointments but her talent and ability to connect to ideas in my head and translate them not just so clearly but so beautifully is unrivaled.
The tattoo that first brought me to her, was a huge, complex piece that netted me a wide range of responses from other tattooers but most importantly, none of them were able to offer me anything that was close to what I wanted. Within minutes of meeting with Nicole, she started sketching as I was talking! I was blown away. She just nailed it! I've been going back ever since. Nobody will ever tattoo me again. In fact, what work I did have done previously, I've since had her cover for me. Loyal client for life.
I do suggest you call the shop and make an appointment for a consult rather than just walking in. I got lucky that day but she does get pretty booked up (for good reason! She's amazing!)
The rest of the shop staff are great too. Overall, just a very good experience.
