Javi did an incredible job on a super detailed fine point tattoo for me. I was super impressed with how amazing the tattoo looks and how little time it took him. I will definitely be going back to Javi for any other future tattoos. The shop itself also has a super cool style and vibe.

Great experience. I emailed earlier this week about getting some lettering done on the side of my neck. Brooklyn reached out to me right away about getting me connected with an artist and scheduled. Came in today to work with Unkl Rob. Gave him my idea, he drew up a few designs for me to choose from. I picked one and we got to work a short while later. I love the piece and already referred a few friends. I'll definitely be back.

I got my belly button peirced here and they did a good job. i came back and got my septum nose piercing and they pierced it too low. it still went through the squishy part and healed right but it wasnt in the sweet spot at all. i dont like how my spectrum jewelry hangs so low and i still cant find one that sits right with me

I had a great experience at Urban Art. Cecilia was my artist and she did not disappoint! She took a sketch I had and was able to make it better then the original. My tattoo turned out great. The shop was clean and the staff was friendly. If you are looking for a talented artist Cecilia is the one to see!
