One of my best childhood friends Kenn works here and it’s one of the best things that could’ve ever happened to us, because I was chasing him down for years prior to do my tattoos. We both used to draw in our youth and I never imagined in my adulthood I’d get to see his art on myself. I’ve been getting tattoos at IGTS since October of 23 and the artists there have become apart of my extended family. (Ask Joe about me, he and others have an invite to my wedding lol) The studio feels like much more than a tattoo shop but a place where art, creativity, and ideas really come to life along with laughter, a little pain 😅, and some really good music. (Whoever be on the aux really does a GOOD JOB) If you’re timing is right you might see me there one day getting a tattoo and Kenn and myself can bless you with the smooth sounds of our vocals to R&B music (he’s the MUCH better lead, I’m pretty good in the background). But on a serious note this is the place to be if you want your idea executed to perfection. There are a variety of artists here who excel in different forms of tattooing so no matter what idea you have there is someone there who you can bring it to life exactly as you imagined or better. Now if you spent this much time reading this review go ahead to their website and book that appointment. And when you show up tell em Cal sent you and they’ll treat you like a rockstar! (I’m a big man on Campus) Hopefully we see one of you soon, I have a Shenron on my back that needs to be completed and it looks...
Read moreI've gone twice and already have a 3rd appt coming up. This 3rd time will be a much bigger piece. The atmosphere alone in this place is such a vibe. Everyone comes and says hi. They're all friendly, sweet, down to earth and helpful to each other. Such a diff world from what I remember getting tattoos 15 years ago... Hector and Jordan have both tattood me and they were both incredible. Jordan was amazing with My daughter, they had a lottt in common and it made my usually quiet daughter talk nonstop and I just loved it. Knowing most ppl don't love clients to bring a guest, Jordan was amazingly sweet and talkative with her and with us. We also has some of the most random things in common which was hilarious, such as love for ducks &chickens. I was in good company. Now, Hector, last but not least.. this man is just a beautiful soul. We talked over insta a few times and meeting him in person was like hanging out with a long time friend. 1st of all, my tattoo BARELY hurt. I've never ever had that before. And I have quite a bit of ink I've accumulated over the years. Even the grey shading BARELY hurt. We talked a lot about anything & everything and he put me at ease. He was fun, quirky, funny, sweet and just so warm & inviting. I loved every minute of my experience. Can't wait for him to do...
Read moreI’m not the type to leave reviews, but after visiting the studio and meeting the people, I cannot stress how good of a first experience it was to everybody who’s willing to listen. Came in a few weeks back to get some ink done. Scheduling was incredibly easy — got a response around a day later for possible time and date. I specifically requested Danae after seeing the work she’s done. She contacted me before the appointment to make sure both of us were on the same page. She was incredibly understanding and accommodating to what I wanted. Arriving to the studio for my appointment was such a drive but being there was 100% worth it. I’ve been looking for something reliable for months but refused to settle and when I got to the ink gallery I knew I wasn’t gonna regret it. Whole place was very clean, atmosphere was nice — everybody was friendly and helpful in explaining me the ropes as to what will happen since it was obvious I had zero idea. Danae really was amazing. The amount of talent in that young girl is unreal. Really was such a nice experience, gotta...
