TESTIMONIALS
CLIENT REVIEWS
& EXPERIENCES
“I first went to him to extend my leg tattoo, but I wasn’t completely sure what I wanted or where to begin with it. I gave him an idea, and he came up with a design that I honestly wouldn’t have thought of myself and I absolutely loved it. He’s incredibly talented, but what I really appreciate is how comfortable and easy he makes the process and experience. Some areas were nice and sensitive 😂 and whenever I needed a break, he was completely understanding and never made me feel awkward or bad for needing it. I’ve since had more tattoos done by Nate and have been just as impressed every time. I’ve also recommended him to my family and friends, who have all had some beautiful tattoos done by him and are just as impressed as me. You can tell Nate puts a lot of thought, time and care into his work. Takes real pride in what he does.”

“I was recommended Nate by a friend that has had a few tattoos done by him. After looking at his work it was clear that he was definitely the artist for me with the style of tattoo I was wanting (gothic) so gave him a message! There is a very simple process for contact outlining what it was I wanted/availability etc which was fantastic. Then Nate got back to me shortly after with more info and we got booked in! The whole process from start to finish was impeccable. Nate's communication, his designs, his approach just all brilliant. I had originally contacted him about having my thigh tattooed but once we stenciled the area Nate was very honest that it may not be the best placement for that tattoo (due to a lot of weight loss the area was very uneven) which meant the beautiful straight lines on my tattoo may be distorted. I am incredibly grateful of Nates honesty with this, because he could have just put the stencil on and tattooed that area with the potential of me not being happy with the end result but instead He showed me that placement, how the tattoo may move and distort and gave me the choice seeing it for myself which of course took time out of his prep. From there he recommended the back of my leg and that's where it went! The whole process of being tattooed was amazing (apart from the pain, obviously) Nate was talking to me, the environment was friendly, music playing was impeccable and the other artist present was also really friendly. The studio was clean and just all round a really nice place to sit and be stabbed for 6 hours. Nate's works is absolutely phenomenal..from the drawn up design to the end result his attention to detail is just incredible. I went into the studio wanting a specific design which Nate then worked on so it became an original piece. Nate's skill set is honestly one of the best I have seen in the area/surrounding areas and I am incredibly excited for the next lot of work to be done on my legs! Massively recommend!”
