The line has to be right the first time.

The medium

Eight photographs. Not a drop of colour in any of them.

Script laid in a single hairline weight. A moth built out of dots. Polynesian blackwork packed solid. A desert stippled soft enough to look printed. Gears and a clock face rendered like a photograph. Different vocabularies, one hand — every review further down names the same person doing the work.

So we built this page in the same range the shop works in: black, grey, and a single cold teal for the lines. Nothing on it competes with the ink.

I have being getting ink since the early 90s and Phong is the BEST artist that I have worked with. Thia tatbwas super special to and I did a ton of research on where to get it done. All of his reviews and sample pics of his works on social media are SPOT ON.. the incredible work you see is what you will get. The whole experience from texting/calling to get a quote/appointment to the cleanliness of the shop to all the prep work he did with my design to the great music that played while he worked on me was TOP NOTCH. This is my fav tat ever, I can't say enough about the precision of Phong's line work...it is SUPERB! Just look at the photos... the finished tat is better than the design I brought in (the picture doesn't even do it justice to how great it looks in person). Phong is super chill and really easy to work with. Put your trust in him, you'll be happy you did!

If you’re looking for the most welcoming vibe with a pro creating one of a kind custom tattoo art right before your eyes, you’re at the right shop. Phong will treat you like family, especially after personalizing the entire experience from the moment you walk in the door. He has expertly crafted a dozen beautiful tattoos for me, and they cover almost all of both arms. I’m proud to show them off and share Phong’s info to anyone who asks about my art! Please call or text him with whatever you need. You will be thankful you chose Phong in Carmel.

Experience was incredible. Phong was very knowledgable and I did not feel rushed at all. He was super friendly and the entire process, as someone who does not have many tattoos, was really smooth and he made everything simple and easy to understand. Not to even mention his work, I got letterwork and it is easily some of the best tattoo work I have ever seen across any platform and interactions. He took his time, experience was great, and I felt great about choosing that shop. 100% would recommend.

Couldn’t recommend more. Easy 5 stars. My husband had a fantastic experience with his first tattoo. Phong was incredible in taking the initial vision and interpreting it to match my husband’s arm and budget. Picture shows the tattoo (with the dragon ball healing very quickly as of being applied only two days ago).
