Today Everyday Studio

Marko is amazing!  I had a tattoo that needed some touch ups and a complicated addition. I gave him just a bit of an idea of what I was going for...the next day he had a beautiful drawing ready form me. The tattoo turned out great.  His lines are so clean!  He is also an amazing guy, easy to talk to and very genuine.  The decor of the studio alone is worth checking out...plenty of nice art, figurines and specimens to look at. I will be back for more!

Marko is the owner of this studio. It's brand spanking new peeps. Located on Fort Street, right next to Aloha Crepes, so you can grab a bite to ease your nerves, haha.

When you get there, you get to ride a person operated elevator! No seriously!! I just went to visit him a week ago to discuss my new tattoo he'll be doing here in a bit, and there was a cute little Christmas tree that was lighted! And a chandelier! The guy is older and super friendly, and it's like you're temporarily transported back in time as he pulls the handle and you're lifted to your floor. Super sweet.

But I digress, on to the studio. It's a little one with air con, but it seems spacious, and it's decorated with various art pieces, some from Marko himself. Cute fish tank with an evil black nemo swimming around, and sound system so you can listen to music and try and block out the noise of the needle...

Marko is an amazing artist, and I came to him for my first tattoo. I had been having a hard time getting an artist to draw what was in my mind (because I sure can't draw squat myself), but Marko was very friendly and within two days drew up EXACTLY WHAT I PICTURED. Mind reader. Love it. A pink lotus with korean inscription dedicated to my grandmother who passed away. "Hanul mankum ddang mankum" - as high as the sky, as wide as the earth. Because that's how much she said she loved me and my sisters. Beautiful, with great detail in color and shading. And he was gentle and always asked if I needed a break (to which I replied HECK NO, just keep going!). 3 hours later and I had my first, very precious tattoo. And I always receive great compliments.

Go see Marko! Skilled artist with impeccable bedside manner. And enjoy the ride up!
