“Nothing but praise for the professional staff at Harm the Karma of Jacksonville. From reception to completion everything was top notch. My wife and I both got matching tattoos on our forearms from a drawing that I created. Our artist Anthony, who was assisted by his lovely daughter, did a fantastic job at recreating the image we provided. We are extremely pleased and we are planning to return next week for additional work on our other arms. Well done and thank you, Harm the Karma team!”
“I was very happy to have William tattoo me today. I couldn't have asked for a better artist. He was very friendly and he took his time with me. You can also tell he is very passionate in his profession and he went out of his way to make sure I was satisfied with my tattoo. Not to mention he made sure that his station was very sanitary and he was very clean.”
