After a lot of instragram searching of artists and their work, I went to J to get my dream tattoo in 2022 and then a secondary piece from his flash in 2023 and he delivered! I chose him because I particularly loved how he uses color, his dot work, and his geometric savviness. It was ideal for what I've come to love in tattoo design for my body.
He is professional, engaged, personable, great about receiving feedback, and is always very willing to help me with design-tweaking until it fits my vision. The stomach and sternum placement is a delicate place and I am always totally comfortable with him the entire time alone in the shop. As a queer woman, he has been extremely accepting and very nice! He checks in frequently, plys me with jolly ranchers to keep my sugars up, and offers numbing cream when I start struggling. I've had three 4-6 hour sessions total with him now and moving forward I'll never go to any other artist for the rest of my planned pieces.
His work on me has healed perfectly and I very much have skin that is difficult about taking ink sometimes. I have 5 other medium to large tattoos all from other artists over the last 10 years and his hand is the best.
The studio itself is easy to drive to, easy to find parking for, and very comfortable with a nice window to sky gaze. It is on a second floor but there is a service elevator if someone needs!
Highly recommend J and Adorned across the board.

Read moreMy sister and I were in town for a family emergency and randomly walked by the shop when we decided to see if they were open/accept walk-ins. Josh was helping another customer at that time, but told us to shoot him a dm so he could fit us in later in the weekend. Josh ended up coming in on a Sunday (he doesn’t normally work Sundays) and working around our plans to make our lives easier. Tattoo was simple, but quick and very well done. Josh was professional and kind and so easy to work with. 10/10 would recommend to others and would definitely be a return customer if we were back in town again looking for...
Read moreDani is amazing. She has almost 20 years experience and I wouldn't trust anyone else to tattoo me. I have followed her for about 5 years and drove over 2 hours for my most recent appointment. On top of being a genuinely amazing person she takes the time to explain the process and ensure her clients comfort. On my most recent trip I brought friends who had never been tattooed before and she was able to guide them through the process in a way that allowed them to all get what they wanted and left them waiting to book another appointment ASAP. Can't give her...
