What Locals Say About Santa Cruz Tattoo Shops
“Walked-in for a nostril piercing, was met with an immaculate shop and a friendly face. James picked the exact right piece for my nose almost immediately and guided me through the process as he did it. James is friendly and chill, despite being relatively new to the area. Midtown is lucky to have him! If you want a quick service where the vibes are right, he is your man and this is your place. Welcome to the central coast, James!”
