I came in September 2021 to get a cover up of a cover up of a cover up lol and Les slayed the tattoo! I can not see the old cover ups at all! I even have Ankylosing Spondylitis and chronic pain, and it wasn’t as painful as I thought it would be and we finished it all in one sitting! Les a really great artist and listens to your ideas and brings the magic!!
Thank you Les!!!

I love the work done by Les. He is very talented and I come up from Utah to get work! I've gotten a sea turtle tattoo on the top of my foot and a memorial piece for my dad from him. He's super friendly, professional and knows so much about tattoo work! He's even done cover-up work on my brother in law!

Les is one of my favorite tattoo artists. He is very easy to work with in designing custom tattoos, and a delight to spend time with as he creates your permanent body art. I've recommended several people to him, and they've all been thrilled with the results.

I fulfilled one of the things on my bucket list, to get my first tattoo.
After carefully researching tattoo parlors, I choose Nova's. The experience was great.
Les, the owner was so professional and talented, he carefully gave me great aftercare. Requirements. I've only gotten compliments from everyone that sees it.
Thank you Les, for making my first experience relaxing.

*EDIT: The last posting was a bit glitchy, so trying this again.
Simply wow! I had never gotten a tattoo before. To give some perspective, I had grown up with my dad telling me that tattoo shops were "the places you never wanted to go to" filled with things that go bump in the night. When I decided I wanted to get a tattoo, I had walked by Les's shop several times but never gone inside.
The instant I sauntered in, Les greeted me with a big smile. His shop was clean, the artwork on the walls was ornate, and the place simply looked awesome. I told him exactly what I wanted from my first experience and it snowballed from there, two weeks of swapping ideas back and forth, sarcastic jokes, and more design changes...then the day came. I sat down and Les gave me a few "trial sticks" to ease my nerves. The entire time through my tattoo we joked around and blasted AC/DC and deadmau5. It was an absolutely legendary experience.
You want to talk quality? I had the best healing experience ever. This is totally because Les did it right the first time. The ink was fantastically laid in the skin, no imperfections or strange marks anywhere. Four weeks later it still looks like it did that first night.
I've come back to Les's shop a few times since then...the dude's a good friend. He's going to give me a free touch-up in a few weeks...I really appreciate attention to the customer like that.
In conclusion, don't waste your time with the other jokers out there. Les is simply amazing. He did a fantastic job (I mean, check out the pictures!) and I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a great tattoo experience.
