Vacation Forever — Local services in New York

I've been following Kee Kee's art for a while, so I jumped at the chance to book an appointment for a flash after their grand opening in their new Manhattan location. Her art is incredible and unique, it's healed amazingly, and she was very welcoming and helpful in picking the right size, placement and color combination for the piece and for my skin tone (the first time I've gotten color!).

The space is fun with eclectic artwork to check out while you wait. Book a slot with any of these artists, or just walk-in for a flash design (they have tons), and you'll have a great time. I'll definitely be coming back for...
