Fantastic Place and Misha is Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by KSMPJ

This review is so overdue it's not even funny because I got my tattoo done last year! After some serious research I chose Zulu tattoo and I am so glad I did. Misha is beyond amazing. She worked with me in designing my concept, letting me know that I could do as far as color (I'm black so I didn't know if that was an option for me). She is so sweet, warm and friendly and of course an excellent artist and super fast. It took her only three hours to do my tattoo which went along my ribcage. The tattoo healed beautifully and I receive so many compliments. Even though technically this was my second tattoo I really consider it my first , true work of art. If you want a unique, personal, piece of excellence then get your work done at Zulu. Also I have to add everybody is so cool, inviting and friendly and happy, from Keleigh to Zulu to just everyone. The shop is clean, chill, relaxing and has a very positive spiritual energy throughout. I'm planning on getting another tattoo done by Misha (she doesn't know this yet lol!) which will be a cover up of that first tattoo and I can't wait to work and create, collaborate with her again. While it is pricey let me just say for the level of craftsmanship and artistry you will receive it is worth every single penny.

I just got my first tattoo from Kody and I am so grateful. I am a girl and when my dad passed away a few months ago i decided that i wanted to have something from him that show my feelings forever. I had to wait a few weeks to have my appointment with her but it worth it. She is friendly, nice and a great artist. Now that I got it, I really LOVE my tattoo. Its exactly what i hope. Everyone there was friendly and the place is quite and very clean and nice. Thank u guys for everything and Kody girl u kick assess!!!!
