Kind words from our clients
I highly recommend getting a tattoo at VOI! I recently got a new tattoo here and couldn’t be happier! Everyone at VOI is extremely friendly and helpful. My tattoo artist, Yesid, is incredibly talented; his ability to create fine details and curves to perfection is truly impressive. I absolutely love my new tattoo and will definitely be going back to VOI for future work.

24 September 2024Amazing experience from start to finish. Had my first and second tattoo done here, couldn’t be happier. Will done both, and can’t wait to get the next done with them. The studio (first was a different one but my comments are true for both experiences) was spotless, clean but not clinical. Service was good, very friendly and accomodating. Tattoos were well planned out before hand, and delivered on the days to perfection. Keep up the good work

13 September 2024Go see Tom. Very professional and does exactly what I wanted. Time, design and placement never a problem. End result superceded all my expectations. I’m a return customer because I won’t go anywhere else, nor do I need to. Thanks Tom

12 September 2024Amazing experience with Tobias at Victims of Ink!! I’ve had roughly 6 day sits with Tobias now & I couldn’t imagine anyone else tattooing me. The entire process has been seamless. Tobias is an experienced artist that I can trust wholeheartedly to have my best interest at heart and create an amazing tattoo. Highly recommend if your apprehensive like I was, Tobias and I’m sure any other artist at this parlour will look after you 100%!

12 September 2024I would highly recommend this studio! The staff is so friendly and highly professional, and the studio is so clean. The artists are so talented and each has their own unique style. I had a session with Joy, and her work is absolutely stunning. She worked with me to create the design I wanted and I am so happy with it. I got some fine line work done but her style has such a wide and impressive range and something for everyone. She is such a skilled and friendly artist, and she made my first tattoo a very special experience. I would recommend the studio to anyone looking for a unique piece or just looking to get a tattoo in general.

As for my tattoo, I’m soooo in love with it! Yesid has to be the most friendliest, easy-going, gentle and precise tattoo artist that I’ve ever known! He listened to what I wanted. Put everything together just the way I requested and added some of his personal touch. And the end result was spectacular and exceeded all my expectations! Loved his attention to details. Can’t get over my tattoo. It’s soo gorgeous! Thank you Yesid! ♥️
