10000/10 experience. Mimi was so kind! She is a super talented artist and I would recommend anyone who loves anime to go to her! Incredibly patient and thoughtful. Great conversationalist and just overall amazing person. Thank you Black Serum and Mimi for the amazing work! I can't wait to book another appointment with her in the future!

Amazing. What a beautiful space and what beautiful people. Everything is incredibly clean and the staff is timely, friendly and organized. I went to Kevin for the first time for a bit of a coverup/redesign and he was so lovely to work with. Each artist has their own signature style and each artist is VERY good at that style. They will tell you what they can and can’t do which I very much appreciate. I can’t wait for my next tattoo from Kevin, it was seriously so gentle, I barely felt it at all and almost fell asleep on the table. 10/10.

This shop is absolutely beautiful with a calm atmosphere and even when there were four other artists working with clients, it was nice and comfortably quiet. My artist (Mimi-sama) is extremely talented and I could not be more happy with the absolute beauty of her work. Her line work and the amount of depth she is able to achieve is stunning. 10/10 I intend to come back for my next tattoo.

I cannot say enough about how positive my experience with Anita Darkling was. I got my very first tattoos with her (two in one session), and she also squeezed in my dad. I'll highlight a few things that I especially appreciated, BEYOND her amazing talent:
1) She is extremely professional and sets super clear expectations about working with her, whether it's about her email response time, her design process/preferences, how to pay, how the tattoo heals, etc.
2) I had a lot of questions, last minute decisions, and requests -- both about the tattoo itself, but also the date, and about my dad joining the appointment. Anita was SO accommodating and kind. She provided lots of options for designs, let my dad make a day-of (and pretty much hour-of) decision about getting a tattoo, and never made us feel like a burden for having questions or taking time to make decisions (in fact, she encouraged it).
3) Maybe most importantly, Anita brought so much compassion to all our interactions. I had never gotten a tattoo before, and my dad is currently struggling with pretty severe anxiety, and she helped both of us feel comfortable and calm. TBH, I almost fell asleep during my first tattoo because I was so relaxed!
I will definitely work with Anita again and encourage everyone to book with her if you can!
P.S. There is a clear bandage over our tattoos in the photo. Also, the Black Serum studio is so nice and comforting. Loved the music and vibes!
