Side Show Studios

I visited Side Show Studios to get work done by visiting artist Tricia Allen. I was pleasantly surprised to find more than just a tattoo shop - beautiful space, great art adorning the walls, and a frame shop. It was really nice to have such a variety of things to look at while sitting for my tattoo. The staff was very friendly and I wound up purchasing a piece of art, too. Go check them out!

Shawn, at Sideshow, is remarkable. He added to a pre-existed tattoo and I love the results. Both times I sat with Shawn, the time flew by. I'm looking forward to working more tattoos down my arm. I can't wait. I recommend Shawn and Side Show Studio to everyone.

Side Show Studios is the best. It is housed in a restored Craftsman cottage, very clean, with lots of art on display. After two bad tattoo experiences at other tattoo studios (hated them), I was leery of getting another one, but I was intrigued by a friends beautiful and delicate tattoos.  She told me about her tattoo artist, Shawn Mahaffey at Side Show Studios, and I set up a consultation with him. Shawn listened to what I wanted (a gecko on the inside of my ankle) and created the most beautiful, realistic gecko for me from photos and drawings we both found. I am complimented on it all the time, and tell everyone who did it. I had Shawn do some work on one of my existing tattoos and now  I'm no longer embarrassed to show my back. And this is just the beginning: my friend and I are going in soon for custom-designed tattoos by Shawn.
I have seen tattoos done by the other artists at Side Show and have no reservations recommending this studio for anything you might want done.
