My experience was great! I was greeted kindly. Offered a coffee, tea or water, some snacks... Alisha was amazing at helping me stay calm and breathe through some of the more spicy parts of my tattoo. It was a great experience and I will definitely go back for more of my tattoos and my pampering needs. At Boss Beauty they do almost everything! It's a 1 stop beauty shop. And everyone that works there are genuine and kind. Thanks Ladies and Alisha!

The absolute best brows and perfection for the fine line tattoo I had done. Alisha blends her grounded, laid back style with professionalism in such a way that it is a pleasure to spend time with her. Highly recommend!

My experience was fantastic. Alisha is an exceptional person with the skills and qualities that make me want to keep coming back. This is my 3rd tattoo she has done and I am genuinely happy with all 3 of them. The animals are my favorites 😍 so far. Anytime I want to pamper myself or have something done I check out her website. There are always promos and flash sales. Boss Beauty is a 1 stop shop of all your esthetic needs and wants.

I was booked in for a color tattoo touch up. Alisha is a true professional, ensuring my comfort level was ok, her “Shop” is beautiful and well lit. My tattoo came out so bright and vibrant.

Honestly, a great experience from the moment I stepped in the door as a walk-in to a week later when I was getting tattooed. Sean is the tits when it comes to artists - super friendly, welcoming, informative, creative, and that hair!!! I would highly recommend Sean and 1st Street Tattoo! Go now!

Did a great job of explaining the tattoo and potential outcomes with fingers tattoos. Was thorough in the design phase and made the entire visit, incredibly fun. These were pretty meaningful tattoos for me and my wife. They allowed us to smudge the area ahead of time which meant a lot to her and her heritage. But highly recommend these guys Thanks for a great experience

Just got a beautiful hand tattoo for my birthday. Jacob and everyone at the shop were amazing. Will definitely be back for many more tattoos.

Josh is that rare mix of class clown and perfectionist. He’ll have you laughing through your tattoo while double checking every bit of sanitation like he’s prepping for surgery. The guy’s got jokes, skill, and passion for doing things right. You can tell he truly cares about his craft and clients, equal parts good time and serious professional. Come for the ink, stay for the chaos, good vibes, and an artist who somehow turns every session into both a comedy show and a masterclass in tattoo fundamentals.

Alisha did my (14th) butterfly tattoo yesterday and she has tattooed me multiple times, done my permanent makeup, laser hair removal and more. Highly recommend her for all services 💖

Always a great experience at 1st Street Tattoo, very talented artists. Professional and relaxing environment.. Been getting ink from Josh for many years now and it’s always a good time.

5 star great. Josh is very personable and the shop was spotless and inviting. Tattoo done by Sam. She is very friendly, always asks how you're doing during the tattooing and she does amazing work. I absolutely love my new art work. More than 5 stars given. Thank you Sam, Josh and 1st Street Tattoos.
