“Everyone was wonderful starting with the fact that I was late (got lost ) and Alex’s patience in helping me get there and moving on to Angela’s (artist) understanding about it. Angela was amazing throughout my entire eyeliner tattoo experience. She has a very calming and reassuring presence and explained everything in detail and I was 100% confident in moving forward. Even though they are still healing I love my dusty shadow eyeliner tattoos and I highly recommend Daela to anyone who considering having eyeliner tattoos done!”
