“I did a walk in Tattoo and the whole experience was amazing, he took a lot of time with making sure the design and placement is right and the whole process was very smooth, he was super friendly and funny. I highly recommend this Place!!”

“Salon que nous recommandons, très à l'écoute et très précis. 1ère expérience de tatouage au bambou et tellement conquis que l'on en a fait 4 en 2 jours !”

Stéphane C. · Google review

“Both guys were absolutely lovely, and made me feel really comfortable about the whole process. Anything that I didn't like or when I wanted to change the placement, they had no problem with that.”

  • Yes, walk-ins are welcome. For a big piece, message us first so Bus can prepare your design.
