See the termsI came in with an idea, and he said, “Not a problem.” The tattoo came out amazing, and there were no surprises.
My artist Alina has a wicked steady hand that created a memorable piece for me of my grandmother’s handwritten note to me.
Impeccable work/artist, gentle hands and great calming energy.

Maks has done my chest, one arm fixed a botched sleeve from another place, complete sleeve on my other arm and currently doing my back...so I've spent alot of time at this place and see the work from all the artists, I'm surprised at the quality each time...I'm beyond happy with the work from Maks

Maks did an amazing job on a memorial piece for my mom. I’m in complete love with it. He made the experience so comfortable and the shop is so clean and everyone is so nice and welcoming. 100% recommend headrush tattoo!

Kate was really helpful with my nostril piercing as I was a little scared but she explained everything really nicely and we were done in no time. I would highly recommend her if you are anxious and need a moment before the process. She even followed up for the healing process. 10/10.

Amy did a tattoo that my colleague drew. The consultation was seamless. Make a couple changes at my discretion and came back a few weeks later. Super happy with the results. Thank you Amy. This tattoo has a deep meaning to me and you nailed it.

Ross did a great job from design consulting to execution of my half sleeve. He explained clearly what was possible and what was going to work based on my design. Very happy with the end result and looking forward to completing the rest of my arm.

Got a tattoo here the other day was covering a scar. Saw the add-on Facebook. She said that she had gentle hands in the add. I genuinely had very little pain during the tattoo because of how gentle she was perfect needle depth. The attention to detail in the tattoo left me satisfied. Really happy overall.

Nadija was my artist and I love her cleanliness and professionalism. Great artist, she really does have soft technique. Loved the work she did with addition to my bouquet with child name and finger and hand tatts. Shes great with timing and my overall experience was great.
