I was introduced to Inkblot Studios by a fellow bartender/ mixologist; her sleeve was one of the most intricate, real, crisp, and clean pieces I have still to this day, ever seen. That was in 2014. Daniel is patient and creative which takes a rare...Read More

Clean, professional, and amazing art work. Daniel created a truly awesome tattoo for me. I'm already planning my next one with him. I've been to a number of studios, none as clean as this. Highly recommend Daniel and his team!
