Tattoos Expertise
Tattooing goes far beyond technique and equipment. It involves understanding the skin, managing pain, preparing the body, and respecting the healing process that follows. Experience makes the difference between theory and what actually works in real tattoo sessions.
Through years of observation, testing, and feedback from professional environments, we focus on sharing practical tattoo knowledge rooted in real conditions. From pain management during long sessions to recovery and skin care, this section brings together guides built on experience rather than assumptions.
Each resource explores a specific aspect of tattooing with one goal in mind: helping people make informed choices based on what truly matters when the needle hits the skin.

The shop was super clean and reasonably priced as well. Bill Lioka did my tattoo as a walk-in and was super professional the entire time about it. Definitely worth visiting if you're in need of some ink!

Very well done. Went here as this was the only one place I would ever let someone do a tattoo on me. You should be in to hard rock though 🙂

My experience was not so good. I got a large tattoo of a hawk on my right forearm in the fall of 1964 and it almost immediately became severely infected. within 2-3 days reached a temp of 102 deg. Had to return to Germany and gets shots. Part of colored came off as it healed. But rated high based on others comments. Going back in May 2016 if time I'll have them redo it.
