The shop itself is clean and welcoming, and they are going the distance to ensure safety in these COVID times. Wash on arrival, masks, and limited occupancy. My artist was Nico Parks and she did an absolutely amazing job ensuring the experience was both efficient and welcoming. She was sure to operate at the comfort level and pace I wanted. The design she made for me was absolutely beautiful, and I couldn't be happier with the clean detail and amazing shading (picture to follow after healing). The other artists I met were also great and friendly - Holly was happy to show her latest work, and I

Had a tattoo session with Brian for me and my fiancee and he was great. Tattoos are all wrapped up now but we were happy he was a fan on the genre and was really enthusiastic about his art. Definitely coming back for my next tattoo.

I'm SUPER happy with my experience and tattoo from Ryan Burke @ Necropolis Tattoo. We were able to hash out the designs mostly via email (COVID times and all) and when I came in for my appointment he had a few final questions to make sure I was getting what I wanted. I can't believe how awesome my tattoo turned out! I'd been dreaming of a raptor tattoo for years and Ryan's work speaks for itself. Cannot recommend him enough.
