Shop Review: This shop is spotless and has never ever had a health
violation. I saw a health review on the wall that had been done a few
months prior to our visit and it specifically said that the sanitition of
the shop was great. Private rooms, great atmosphere, inside of the shop
looks like a castle which is very cool. Bathroom was spotless and I am a
neat freak so that says a lot coming from me!
Artist Review--Jenn Paulson: For my 2 sisters and I, this was our first
tattoo and it was my
mom's second, her first also was done by Jenn. We picked designs out of a
book which Jenn then customized. They are identical and beautiful. We
couldn't be more pleased with the work and also the entire experience.
Jenn is very professional, caring, and talented.

Shop Review: This shop was very clean. They use hospital sterilizied
instruments. And new instruments are used on every client. The
environment of the shop was very lade back and relaxing. I felt very at
home when I went into this shop. The shop is located right downtown in a
fairly good neighborhood.
Artist Review--Dave Nack: This artist is one of the nicest guys I have met.
I visited many shops before choosing Skin Candy. I found Dave to be very
friendly and able to work with me on what I wanted for my tattoo. His
pricing was very reasonable too. Seeing as this was my first tattoo, Dave
walked me through every step of the tattoo process, and always took time to
ask me how I was doing.
