This place was recommended by a tattoo artist on hiatus. After looking at the books on line, I chose Sam to do my tat. I am 67, so I need someone who takes my skin into consideration. Sam is amazing and fast! He came up with the art from my rather sketchy description and exceeded my expectations. I really like the atmosphere at Gypsy Rose. Everyone is friendly and welcoming and there seems to be a really good vibe among the artists in residence. It is impeccably clean and airy. Can't wait for this puppy to heal so I can get the next one!
