Thats next level and a standard for the next generation to follow. You are a gentle old soul with the true values of a 80s baby. The last generation to truly understand respect and hard work. Not only do I recommend you, I have a feeling I will be coming back. So please continue to bless us with your skills, because this generation can not photocopy it, not even with AI. Thank you

His studio is incredibly beautiful, clean and very modern. It almost too clean and too beautiful for a tattoo studio haha He made me feel comfortable and took breaks - and not to mention provided me a lollipop for some sugar high. If i was to suggest something to make my experience faultless? - is to have a comfortable pillow to rest my head into.
