Amazing experience on Monday at Origin Tattoo. The service is professional and relaxing in a great environment. (I love the stickers!) Joe was an incredible artist and the result was exactly what I wanted. The tattoo pain was low (compared with my previous experience) and recovery is great. 100% 5 stars!
