From our chairs
Johnny took the rough idea in my head and turned it into the cleanest sleeve I've ever seen. The line work is unreal — healed perfectly.

Full sleeve · Color realism
Cleanest, most professional studio in Houston — hands down. Sterile, welcoming, and the artwork speaks for itself. I won't go anywhere else.
